Editorial
NAMING Il NEW i SCHOOL
A FRIEND OF ours not long ago came up with what
we consider an excellent suggestion, and we hasten to urge
that it be followed through. The suggestion is that the new
HIGH school be named for Claude O. Markoe.
Claude o. Markoe is known to one and all in these Is
lands. In fact, heis one of our most distinguished, most well
recognized and best loved educators. For years he was princi-
pal Of the Frederiksted Junior High School, and it was under
his direction and guidance that that school became the cen
ter Of much of the educational and civic life of that town.
THEN Mr.. MARKOE moved to the princpaIship of
the Christiansted High School, and through the years thou
sands Of boys and girls came under the influence Of his
teaching and direction. Many owe their adherence to high
principles Of living and an honest outlook on the future to
the influence gained through his guidance. Mr.. Markoe was
faced with the added problem Of helping to formulate and
carry out policy under circumstances which were far from
clearcut and easy. The ever present lack Of funds, limited
equipment and inadequate plant all contributed to the mag
nitude of the task, which in turn called for greater determine
ton and skill in meeting that task. But Nh. Markoe was up
to it.
INSTEAD OF setting up a committee to dream up the
name of some distant person who may only have had a fleet
ing brush with local education, It may be well to give SefioS
consideration to the naming of the new high school in honor
Of a man who actually worked day in and day out in the
school system, and who actually guided the high school for
50 many years.
IT IS NOT necessary to belabor the point. The sugges-
ton is an excellent one, and when it came to us there was
no question but that it had merit enough to stand on its
own We urge, therefore, that the new High School be named
for Claude Q. Markoe. It would be a fitting honor to a former
principal, and one Of the outstanding educators in these

New Housing Legislation Seen
AS A Boost TO Home Building

WASHINGTON R-New housing
legislation, one of Congress ma
ior actions on President EiSenhow-
er'S legislative program this SEES
sion, should boost home building
by 10 to 20 per cent, Sen. Cape
hart (R-Ind) said today.
Capehart, Senate Banking Com.
mittee chairman, steered the COM
promise measure to Senate pas
sage last night by a 1921 rollcall
vote, thus sending the bill to the
White House.
The Indiana senator said in an
interview today the bill contains
a great deal of what the PreSi-
dent asked" He commended the
House for having agreed to IS,
OCO-unit public housing program,
described by Senate public housing
advocates as "a sham and a de-
lusion."
That compromise provision, au-
thorizing far less than Eisenhower
recommended, was the main rea
son for the Il mo" votes cast in
the Senate on the overall bill.
The compromise wording allow
ing $1,000 public housing units in
the next year would restrict this
type of building to families actu-
ally displaced by federal Slum
clearance activities. Eisenhower
had asked for 10000 units over the
next four years, without this re-
stricti0n, and the Senate originally
went along on that. But the House
refused to authorize any new pub
lie housing when it passed its orig
inal bill.
Capehart said the conference
committee which framed the final
version of the bill was Indeed
fortunate" to have won House
agreement for even the restricted
35,O0O-unit public housing feature.
In other major respects, Cape
hart said, the new bill liberalizing
down payments and extending re.
payment periods on homes bought
with government-insured mort
cages followed closely the housing
proposals Eisenhower sent Con
gresS early this year.
Capehart said the new housing
bill is. certain to pump even
more activity into building in
duStry already operating at a far
higher rate than anticipated
year ago."
Under the bill, house with an
value of $4,000,
for instance, could have its down
payment lowered from the pres
ent 81, 400. to $1,000 if new and
81 $50 if old. Loans could run as
long as 80 years instead of the
present limits of 20 to 80 years.
The measure includes several

BY HAL COOPER

LONDON R - A serious Con-
sentative party rift over Brltaln'S
Suez Canal Zone pact with Egypt
handed the Laborite opposition a
tempting chance today to force the
resignation of Prime Minister
Churchill. 1t was doubtful the So
cialists would seize the chance.
The test comes in a House OF
Commons vote tonight on Church
ills motion demanding Parlia-
ment's approval of the agreement
to pull Britain's $4,000 troops out
of the strategic Canal Zone.
A group of 40 rebellious Con-
servatives, angered at seeing an
other bit of Britain's dwindling EN-
pire crumble away, have served
notice they will vote against the
government.
Nominal Majority
With only a nominal Conserva-
tive majority of 20 votes in the
625-member House, Churchill thus
was in the uncomfortable position
Of having to depend on his Socialist
opponents for the support neces-
sary to put his policy across.
The ticklish situation in Com
mons was one of several troubles
currently plaguing the old warrior
who has yet shown no inclination
to heed the urging of his wife and
doctors that he retire.
In the House of Lords there was
an almost unprecedented scene
last night as Lord Reading, min
lister Of state, for foreign affairs,
set forth the governments position
in support of the Suez agreement.
Angered peers, who normally sup
port the government, complained
they had no time to study the pact.
They became silent only after the
house leader. Lord Salisbury, one
OF Churchill's closest advisers,
withdrew the request.
Two Resign
Churchill was harassed also by
a Cabinet shakeup following the
resignation Of two of his Cabinet
ministers. A third also announced
he had submitted his resignation,
but there was no indication wheth-
er it would be accepted.
Abroad, Greece served notice
she would bring her demand for
Cyprus before the United Nations
despite Britain's decision to grant
the colony a constitution that would
advance it nearer to self-rule. The
Churchill government served no.
tice yesterday Britain plans to
hold on to the fortress island in
the Mediterranean, to which she
plans to shift troops from the
Suez.
Laborite members of Commons
were thoroughly enjoying the Con-
servatives' dilemma but they kept
their plans to themselves. !
Most observers thought the So
cialists could not vote Churchill out
on the Suez issue without compro-
missing their own principles. The
official policy of the Labor party
has long been in favor of pulling
British troops out of the Canal
Zone.

Researchers went to work, and the discovery of
Dramamine's potency against the travellers bugaboo
led to thorough examination of similar compounds

unmedicated men became violently sick while

was only 1874 per cent.

Again the results were highly significant. On one
voyage one preparation reduced violent illness from

no medication were thoroughly unhappy but only 9.6

Side Effects Slight
DR CHINN and his associates watched carefully for
side effects and concluded that they were slight in
all cases.

afford significant protection" are Marezne, Bona
