ROTTEN REASONING

ROTTEN
HI RECEN ACTION of the St. Thomas Republicans
in opposing James A. Bough for the Governorship is most I'm
fortunate because the reasons given are completely without
the slightest merit, or credit. Whatever else might have been
in the back of the minds of these politicians the reason given
was that Mr.. Bough is a holdover of the Democratic admin
tration. That in itself is bad enough, but the accompanying
reasoning smells to high heaven. These politicians claim that
being a holdover of the last administration MI. Bough could
therefore not have the best interests of these Islands at heart.
THIS PAPER. HAS not sponsored any candidate. 1t has,
however, spoken plainly on the matter, c%ontending that only
such candidates as can give their best should be considered.
Those who are seeking to enjoy the climate and the rest, while
at the same time being governor should be out OF the queS-
ton. Because these Islands have enjoyed a rather full measure
of democracy, any candidate who would subscribe to bigotry
and discrimination should not be even considered. Finally,
this paper took the position that a native should be given
first consideration, but absent a native then a qualified CON
tinental who could serve the islands well.
IN SEEKING TO rule out Mr.. Bough this group of island
Republicans are performing a great disService to the people
of the Virgin Islands, and no Sef-reSpecting citizen can sit
quietly by without lifting his voice in protest, According to
these Republicans, it is nothing short of a crime to have
served in a responsible position under the last administration.
What is a capable, fully qualified, ambitious young man to
do? Must he remain inactive until the right administration
comes along2 Is it fair and just to penalize a candidate just
because he was District Attorney while the Democrats were
in power?
UNDER H o of these local Republicans it is
not difficult to see one OF the most vicious and dangerous
systems brought into operation. 1t is even. more sinister than
that which is carried on in Washington. At least, there only
top level, pohcy-making officials are asked to resign, and
these people then move into private business or practice OF
some sort. However, in the Islands, the majority OF people
stand to suffer, and this should not be.
, 1953-05-02

WE HAD HOPED NEVER to see the day when a quail
fed native would be shut off from seeking office merely be-
cause he happened to have served in another position during
another administration.
WE URGE THE Eisenhower administration to base its
determination of a governor for these Islands on more than
the fact that a candidate embraced the Republican banner
in time to cash IN on the victory.

David Aitchison Of Takoma

Resident Discovers

BY the Assoeiofed Press

WILMINGTON, Calf, Mar
24.-Harry S. Truman enjoyed
an encounter with a San Fran
cisco resident who discovered
the man he thought looked like
Mr.. Truman was Mr.. Truman.
The former President told
about the incident last night.
A chauffeur was driving Mr..
Truman. Mrs. Truman and their
daughter Margaret to the home
of George Killion, president OF
the American President Lines, in
San Francisco Sunday night.
The driver got the wrong house.
Mr.. Truman went to the door,
but the unidentified resident said
mo, Mr.. Killion doesn't live
here" Then he peered intently
at his caller and said: Say,
hope your feelings won't be hurt,
but you look exactly like Harry
Truman"
"This probably will disturb
you." replied Mr.. Truman, "but
I am Harry Truman"

WILMINGTON. Calf, Mar.
24.-From the caviar to the
petit fours, every one watched
what Harry S. Truman was do
ing.
But the members of the Bev-
erly Hills Wine and Food Society
didn't emulate the former Presi-
dent. He ate heartily. They
didn't do justice to all the
viands served at the $50 a plate
dinner.
Long before the wine and food
boys got to the main course
(roast sirloin Of prime beef,
nipponaise) they were full. The
guest of honor wasn't.
The occasion last night was
the society's spring banquet. It
was held in the dining room of
the IS President Cleveland.
aboard which Mr.. Truman and
his family sails from there for a
Honolulu vacation today.
He Hadn't Stuffed Himself.
The reason the man from Mis-
souri, was still going strong after
his hosts had faded was this:
He didn't stuff himself at the re-
ception, where such delicacies as
blue point oysters. cherrystone
clans, le foiS gras de Strasbourg
aux truffles and caviar and
shrimp were featured. He had
an oyster or two and held on to
the same drink all during the re-
ception.
So when dinner was called, he
was prepared to eat. He waited
until the oysters mikado were
cool and then sailed into them.
He liked the broth and the ebi-
no-onigarayaki, inperatrice Qob-
ster thermidor), too. This was
an appetizing dish and, with
Liebfraumilch 1949 to wash it
down every one soon made it dis
appear.
The beef, with bean sprouts,
mushrooms and artichoke hearts,
slowed down the gourmets from
Beverly Hills, but not the gour-
met from Independence.

firm purposes of this admins
tration is to strengthen the

The President said the rela-
lively few incompetent. dishonest

and I want all our people to

LAYOFF-A major layof will
take place in the Public Building
Administrations design and
construction division, which now
has 435 employees. Most Of those
affected will be engineers, drafts
men and architects.
PBA officials don't know exact
ly how many employees will be
dismissed. That will depend on
the construction and building
plans of other Federal agencies.
Since the new administration has
indicated Federal building and
construction projects will be held
to an absolute minimum, PBA
will not need the services of many
Of its employees in the design and
construction division, officials
say.
LEAVE-Members of the House
Appropriations Committee are
studying a proposal whereby
Government employees who are
promoted would not be able to
increase the cash value of their
potential terminal leave pay
ments on leaving the Federal
service.
Some committee members
have been critical Of the fact
that an employees cash leave
payment on leaving the Gov
ernment is based on the rate

Parties With Liquor
In Committee Rooms
Apparently Banned
Ry the Assoelased Press

The issue of whether liquor
should be served at party in a
congressional committee room
has killed plans for one get
together. It also may have helped
clear the air on the subject of
party-tossing on Capitol Hill.
It all developed over a mis-
understanding anyway. according
to the would-be host, Represent
ative Saylor, Republican, of
Pennsylvania. He said he never
intended serving hard drinks in
the chambers Of the House In
terror and Insular Affairs Com
mittee when he invited members
of the committee and their stats
to a social get-together last
Thursday.
Committee Chairman Miller,
Republican, of Nebraska said
he understood highballs were to
be served. although the invita-
tions did not say so. He promptly
wrote Mr.. Saylor a letter saying
he couldn't approve use of the
rooms for that purpse and sent
copies to other committee mem
berS.
The whole thing, Mr.. Saylor
said, created such an awkward
atmosphere that he called off the
party Ito save embarrassment
to those invited to attend"
II had never intended serving
hard liquor or highballs," Mr..
Saylor said in an interview. "The
chairman seems to think that's
what I had in mind and threat
ened to take it up on the House
floor"
Mr.. Saylor said he intended
to give the party in honor of his
mother, Mrs. Minerva P. Saylor
of Johnstown, Pa. He said she
Is teetotaler.
Mr.. Miller said he got the i'm
preston in conversation with
Mr.. Saylor that cocktails were
to be served.
Just to keep my own skirts
clean. since I am responsible for
the committee rooms, wrote
the letter saying I would not ap-
prove of serving hard liquor ~
Mr.. Miller said.
He added he took up the mat
ter with House Speaker Martin
and got the impression that Mr.,
Martin didn't approve of liquor
parties in committee rooms. Mr..
Martin told him it was the re-
sponsibility of the chairman and
the committee.
Mr.. Martin, a teetotaler, said
he has issued no ban against
such parties.
Its up to the chairmen and
the committee; I can't police all
of them," he said.
