consideration.
Section s provides that
Department heads who are
unclassifed employees, shall
hereafter include such other
officials who perform indepen-
dent functions, or who are re-
sponsible for the formulating
Of policy. as the Board may
from time to time determine.
Since the Governor, under the
Organic Act, is responsible for
the formulation of executive
policy, it seems inconceivable
that he could or should dele
gate to a subordinate board
the final determination as to
Wha officials, under the Cow
ernor, should be removed
from the classified service be-
cause they are allegedly per-
forming Independent functions
or are a1legedly responsible
for the formulation Of policy.
Such a determination, for pro-
per supervision, control and
direction, should be vested
only in the Governor.
Section Z exempts the sa-
laried employees Of the Legis-
lative branch Of the Govern
ment from the Personnel
Merit System Law. A previ-
Gus attempt, some time ago,
to accomplish this objective
was vetoed by me because,
under the Organic Act, the
Governor is vested with the
responsibility of appointing,
with the advice and consent of
the Municipal Councils, the
employees Of the Legislative
as well as of the Executive
branch Of the Government. In
our small municipal organiza-
tons there is no reason to pro-
vide a separate and distinct
pay plan for salaried en-
ployees of the Legislative
branch of the Government.
Sections II and IL Of this
bill provides that in cases Of
dismissal, demotion or suspen-
sion, the action of the Person
mel Board, upon appeal, shall

Of the United States, Fourth
Session, 1858, An Act to
Amend the Personnel Merit
System Law Of the Virgin Is
lands, passed by the Legisla-
tive Assembly on June 1, and
presented to me for action on
June 4, 1853.
"This bill, as originally pro-
posed by the Administration,
provided for an amendment to
the Personnel Merit System
Law to eliminate the certifica-
ton Of the Director of Person
mel on each individual pay
roll as one segmen Of the pro-
posed Capitalization of pay
roll accounting for the two
municipalities Of the Govern
ment Of the Virgin Islands. AS

number Of amendments which
are seriously Objectionable
from the standpoint of effec-
tive administration. ] shall de-
tail here the more important
of the Objectionable features,
Section 2 Of Bill No. SIS pro-
yides that the Board Of Per-
sonnet, an already existing
board, shall be composed of

no law in the Virgin Islands
requiring the registration Of
political parties this language
is meaningless.

Section 4 introduces a no.
vel feature in that it requires
the Governor to seek the adj
vice and consen of three sep
arate legislative bodies for his
appointments to the Board of
Personnel. One member of the
Board is to be confirmed by
the Municipal Council Of st.
Thomas and st. John; another

hover and the Republicans should
be given a chance to act OF the
civil rights promises they made
during the convention and the
campaign. it was asserted here
Sunday by Roy wilkins, admin
istrator of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col

Speaking at the Union Bethel

paign of the New Orleans NAACP

said:
The Republicans promised to
end segregation in the District of
Columbia, and to get rid of any
discrimination in Federal employ

the idea of making government
contractors comply with the nom
discrimination clause IN tnelr
contracts. We should ask the Re.
publicans to start action on these
definite promises and before we
accuse them of bad faith we
should give them time to act"
Mr.. Wilkin said the Senate tn

Robert A. Taft of Ohio had al

Adult Education
Marches On at Die

Education. especially higher ed
ucation, used to be the sole prop
erty OF teen age boys and girls
who We're fortunate enough to
have parents with a sound finan-
eial backing. This concept is being
rapidly displaced by the enroll
ment of adults whose education
has been interrupted by economic
problems, service in the armed
forces, marriage, or other reasons.
Dunbar junior college (eur
Community College"), is making
great strides in attempting to
meet the needs of these adults
and boys and girls who find it
necessary to work during the reg
ular school hours. A visit to the
Dunbar junior college campus aft
er 8 o'clock in the afternoon. will
find me- and women who have
returned to school in order to i'm
prove their cultural standards or
to prepare for a better job. Prior
to enrolment these students have
the opportunity to talk with Dean
Christophe, Dean King, or Dean
Stovall In order to determine
their educational aim and to work
out a schedule that will fit into
their program as well as home and
community activities.
The doubts and fears that most
adults experience upon returning
to school are soon removed by the
comradeship of other adults and
the patience of interested teach
ers.
The second semester at Dunbar
Junior college will begin the lat
ter part OF this month. Therefore,
If you have ever felt the desire
to continue your education, we as
sure you that you will find the
realization of this dream at Dun
bar junior college.
