Miss Peters is an easy, breezy

being a movie star, either.

of that body spoke out before there was really time to know
what was happening, and did it in a manner totally out Of
keeping with accepted practice.
THAT BODY HAS been known to pass legislation
which had but the remotest relationship to the general vel
fare, and even knowing that it would bring forth a veto.
But GREATEST Of the mistakes which members of
the Legislature make is to curse at the Governor. For any
number of years we have objected to this, in many instances
invoking the wrath Of the Legislature, Yet, the matter remains,
and all there is to show for it is lack of progress. 1t would
seem as if those in responsible positions would by now
learn.
WHEN MEMBERS of the local legislature resort to name
calling and spite action, then any rights whatever, regardless
of how mertorious they may be will be lost. In the realm of
relationship between the executive and legislative branches
the utmost respect and courtesy should be shown. In fact,
in our opinion, there is 50 much to be done that there is no
time whatever, and less opportunity, to get off the business
at hand to indulge in name calling and the like.
E US HOPE that this will serve as a reminder; that
there will be realization that nothing whatever of good can
come from dissention, and that the Islands themselves may
suffer because Of imprudence. AT least we can be courteous
and seek to maintain our s~elf-respect, and thereby create and
maintain the type of atmosphere in which those matters for
the greatest good of the Islands can thrive.

THIS SITUATION, or atmC

cause both the administration and the legislature have tailed
to see that patience and understanding are very necessary;
that sitting down to a bargaining table is a matter OF give
end take, and that wild rumors, regardless Of their source,
have no place in the high level relationships through which
the Virgin Islands as a whole must make progress and even
survive.
WE SAY BOTH sides because the facts are clear. And

Eisenhower Indicates
HeWon't Reappoint
CIapp as IVA Head

President Eisenhower today
described Gordon Clapp as a
fine administrator, but indicated
he does not intend to reappoint
him as chairman of the TenneS-
see Valley Authority.
Mr.. Clapp's term expired yes
terday. The President was asked
at his news conference today
when he will fill the position.
He replied that he will do so
as soon as he finds a man COM
pletely non-political in his posi-
ton and statements, profession
ally well-qualified, whose integ-
rity is above reproach and whose
general approach and philosophy
agrees with his.
Hard Job to Fill.
Gen. Eisenhower remarked
with a laugh that finding such
a man is a hard job. This was
taken as meaning that Mr..
Clapp. in his view, did not have
the necessary qualifications.
The President emphasized,
however, that all reports to him
are that Mr.. Clapp has operated
as a fine administrator, without
fear or favor for any faction.
Former President Truman
named Mr.. Clapp to the SIS, ,000-
a-year position in 1916. He has
been with iva in various posts
since the giant power agency
was created in 1893.
Several persons have been
mentioned as possible nominees
for Mr.. Clapp's post. Until a
successor is nominated and coma
f1rnled by the Senate, iva will
operate without a chairman and
with only two members of it's
normally three-member board.
Two Will Garry On.

members of the board will be

ident of the University of Ala

souri, College of Engineering.

age that will be proposed by
the committee remains to be

A great deal will depend on
the attitude of Federal employe
union leaders. who in the past
have opposed such joint cover
age. Kaplan committee mem
bers say, however. their plan will
be so beneficial to Federal en-
ployes that employe leaders
could not afford to oppose it
without incurring the wrath of
their rank-and-file membership.
The committee is expected to
recommend a new financing
plan for both civil service re-
tirement and social security
coverage of Federal employees,
with the maximum benefits of
each system in the way of pen
sions and family Survivorship
benefits given to Government
workers.
Under the Forthcoming pro-
poSal, the committee is expected
to report that the coordination
of both systems can be achieved
by actually reducing employe
contributions for the benefits.
Instead of the present 6 per cent
salary deductions, the increased
benefits can be achieved by only
assessing employees 512 per cent
Of their salaries, committee
members say. This, in effect,
would increase the take-home
pay Of Federal workers by half a
percentage point.
