Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1952-02-16

General Dwight d. Eisenhower
is getting a free mud bath, the likes
of which he hasn't experienced in
his distinguished career. His forces
are getting encouraging support
from many quarters but the Taft
machine has not been completely
stopped by any means. More and
more it appears that Eisenhower's
return to the United States might
be needed if he is to have his
best chance at the G. o. P. nomi-
nation.
Charges that likes views on the
issues of the day aren't known may
be the most effective ammunition
of the Taft group. Charges that
Ike is a glamour boy will probably
not hurt the General since the
women can find nothing wrong with
being a glamour boy, and they also
vote. Charges that any candidate,
who expects to receive the nomi-
nation should come home and work
to get it, might hurt. Ike has said
he wouldn't come home and scrap
for it.
The present trend of thought is
that Ike may be hard put on a
decision whether to come home as
early as April and get into the
fight personally. This, many sup
porters argue, could cinch the NOM
nation for him. However, the Taft
group would welcome debate be-
tween Ike and the Ohio Senator.
The latter's supporters think the
Ohian might chop Ike to pieces
in a public debate - because of
his long experience and proven
ability in parliamentary tactics.
J They could draw the General out
on hot issues, on which he is not
yet on record.
Ike. SO far, says he doesn't in
tend to, come back and get into the
| dogfight.

fact that the Congress has not
yet seen fit to grant to these
Islands the privilege Of a Resi-
dent Commissioner. Congress
has never directly expressed
that we have no representa-
ton through our own efforts.
The Congress, in deed, is more
likely to realize the need for a
Resident Commissioner if the
people should have a represen-
tative there on the spot to
press c instantly that impor-
tant issue. In this connection
note the following from a
Statement issued by the Virgin
Islands Youth Council, which
so excellently expresses the
views of the Assembly that it
merits quotation:
I'VE do not think the Legisla-
ture intended to provide a precise
substitute for a Resident Commits
sioner, and this for the reason
that the Assembly must be aware
that this officer will not be a mem
Der Of the appropriate House Com
mittees. w h a t the governor
over1ooks is the important factor
of physical presence in the Ma
tion's Capital, the continuing
ability to. keep tab on legislation
that should be applied to the Vir-
gin Islands, and the facilitation of
his appearance before Congress
sional committees that may with
out nitice (and this has happened

legislation on which the Virgin Is
lands should be heard to speak.
The well-meaning intentions Of
the Governor and the Interior De-
partment should not be dimi-
nished, but the resulting efforts
have been and continue to be.
insufficient.
Your contention that this legis-
lation exceeds t h e legislative
powers of the Assembly is unton-
able. There is nothing inherently
different in the employment BY
the Legislative Assembly Of a re-
preventative in WASHINGTON than.
in The hiring Of legal services or
other professional services to be

vide for the employment of tech

The bill in question provides in
pertinent sections as follows:
SECTION |. There is hereby
created the Office Of the Legisla-
tive Contact Representative of the
Virgin Islands to be established in
Washington, DC, for the purpose
of disseminating information
about the Virgin Islands and OBJ
tanning the maximum congress
sional goodwill and support ne
cessary to improve and promote
the political, social and economic
conditions of the People of the Vir
gin Islands.
SECTION 2. The Legislative
Contact Representative of the Vir
gin ISLANDS shall be elected by
the Legislative Assembly to serve
for a term of two years.
SECTION A. 1t shall be the
duty of the Representative to dis
seminate accurate information
about the Virgin Islands which
will tend to promote the islands
politically, socially, and economic
ally. He shall work under the di-
rection of and in coordination
with the Legislative Assembly of
the Virgin Islands, The Represen-
tative shall submit to the Legis-
lative Assembly within so days
after the close of each fiscal year
a complete report on the status
and progress Of all his undertake
ings and activities. He shall also
submit from time to time such
other reports as may be required
by the Legislative Assembly. In
addition to his other duties the
Representative shall make such
representations on behalf Of the
Legislative Assembly as the AS
sembly may direct
It is obvious that the intention
of the Legislature was to create
a position primarily concerned
and related with giving advice to
the Legislature. The Executive is

ture in this respect in determining

The Legislature has power to
employ assistance for itself as a
whole or for its committees and is
not limited in its discretion as to
the number or the nature of the
services, SO long as they relate to
the performance Of legislative
daties. SHAW ' Grimbine 278
p. BID
The position created by Bill No.
AZ is on its face one dedicated to
the purpose Of serving legislative
needs. The position created is ana
lagous to that which was involved
ii the case of Dunbar v Cronin.
, 1952-10-22

the past there have been numer-
Gus examples of the respect of the
Council of seeing fit to employ
such assistance and such exercise
Of the power Of appointment that
the Council has never been as it
could not be, challenged by the
Executive.
You state your legal objections
to Bill No. AZ as follows: This
bill specifically contravenes Sec
ton "a Of the Organic Act Of the
Virgin Islands which provides
that:
The Governor shall appoint, by
and with the advice and consent
Of the municipal council having
jurisdiction, all salaried officers
and employees of the municipal
governments whose salaries are
provided for in the Budgets of
the municipal governments
It also exceeds the legislative
powers vested in the Legislative
Assembly in other sections Of the
Organic Act"
In our opinion the Assembly
does possess the authority to pro-
vide by legislation for the appoint
ment of a legislative consultant in
the manner set forth in the Bill.
Nothing appears in the text of
the veto message which indicates
the sother sections of the Organic
Act" which restrict the legislative
powers of the Assembly. A careful
analysis of the Act itself fails to
reveal any such other sections.
Under the circumstances that part
of the veto message heartily war
rants any further comment Thus,
the important question presented
is whether Section "a Of the Act
does operate to prohibit the As
sembly from appointing a person
to the position created by the bill.
1t is necessary to look into the
entire context Of the Organic Act.
Section II of the Organic Act pro-
vides as follows:
1.-THE respective Municipal Coun
ellis shall be vested with the.
authority and attributes inherent
in legislative bodies
Section Z of the law provides
Joint sessions of said M~unictpsl
Councils shall constitute and shall
be designated the Legislative AS
semb1y of the Virgin Islands !"
The combination of the equal le-
gislative powers Of the Municipal
Councils in the Legislative Assem-
bly, does not produce lesser autho-
rity with respect to the matters
W h j { h have been properly
handled.
The scope of this legislative
authority is an extensive one. It
has exclusive cognizance Of the
matters within its jurisdiction and
is supreme within its own sphere.
