lands met. On March 2, 1858, the Legislative Assembly Or
Iganic Act Committee was created to study the diverse as
poets of legislation; to draft a bill which would meet the
wishes and desires of all of the peoples of the islands; and
to submit such !. bill to the legislature for its consideration
and approval.
The committee consisted of leading Legislators, business
and professional people of theaislands. It held number Of
public meetings. It considered the wishes of all segrnents Of
the population on each of thesthree islands, and .afterp1nuch
|panstaking work and careful analysis Of the numerous pro
|posaIs and suggestions received by 1.-THE committee drafted
a bill substantially in the form SO kindly introduced, at our
request, by Congressman SayloF insthe House and by you
in the Senate. Hearings were held in the House just before
the Congress adjourned last summer. The testimony present
led by all Of the visiting Virgin Islanders was ~favorahly re-
,ceived by the House committee The. House members, were
very friendly, and we We're alLaaSslfedsby the committee
members that but for the little time left in that session of
Congress, the bill would have been reported out favorably
by the committee and would have been acted upon by the
House. Since SO little time was left in that session of Con-
gress, we thought it best not to press for hearings before your
committee at that time, especially since you indicated a de-
sire to come down to pay US a. visit during the recess and
before the Congress convened this coming winter.
We are all very pleased withdrawing you with us and very
happy that we have the opportunity of. discussing with you
at this time, here on our own grounds the problems SO VII
tally affecting the islands.

There is not another single factor that can so profoundly
affect the economic, political, and social conditions of the
Virgin Islands for generations to come as the immediate pas
sage of organic legislation. This, every man, woman, and
child in the Virgin Islands will attest to, whatever be the
character of his economic or political idealogy or social status.
If Virgin Islanders have ever agreed upon a single issue it
is that our organic act has long been outmoded and is sadly
in need of immediate revision. We therefore urge upon you,
Senator Butler, to give serious consideration to our sugges-l
tons. There is not another single living individual who has
it in his power to do SO much for a people SO completely de-
pendent upon him as you.@You, Senator Butler, exert tre=j
mendous influence in the Congress. You, and you alone as
chairman of the powerful Senate Interior Committee can
say "yea" or may" to s.The power is in your hands. / know
here all know-that you will use it wisely, kindly, and
and with the greatest consideration for each Of us. For this,
we, our children, and our childrens children shall be for
ever grateful to you.
/ should like now to tell you. why the revision. of the or
ganic act is Of such importance to us.
The present organic act has not been amended in any ma
ior respect since its enactment in 1886.
The Virgin Islands the former Danish West Indiesl were
coded to the United States by Denmark by treaty of January
25, 1917. From then until 1881 the affairs Of the islands were
administered by naval governors appointed by the President
of the United States. On. February q, 1891, Executive Order
5556 was issued, placing the islands under the Department
of the Interior. The Islands were governed largely by Execu-
tive orders and orders of the Secretary Of the Interior until
1886, when the present organic act was enacted into law.
The act of 1896 has served the people well, but it is now
completely outmoded and is in serious need of revision.
During the 82nd Congress a subcommittee Of this commit
tee, after holding hearings on the Virgin Islands, reported
favorably H. R. 1898. It passed the House but failed of pas
sage in the Senate.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-06-11
BY Harry Macarthur

Thomas Mitchell and Charl-
ton Heston are a pair of profess
Sional craftsmen and the see
mario hasn't yet been written
which would disgust either into
a slovenly performance. They
come through again in Secret
Of the Incas," now at the Metro
politan and Ambassador Thea
tiers. This is a film with some
excellent qualities and some ap-
pallingly bad ones.
Among the former are the
principal performances, some
songs by Yma Sumac, some of
the fortnight dialogue and some
mighty handsome Technicolor
photography of the Peruvian
Andes. The films major fault is
a plodding and sometimes aim
less screenplay by Ronald Mac
Dougall and Sydney Boehm. Di-
rector Jerry Hopper hasn't been
able to lash this into any sus-
tanned show of speed.
Heston, the hero of Secret of
the Incas," is a sort of semi
repugnant hero through most of
the footage. He's in Peru in pur-
suit of one of those legendary
Inca treasures, naturally, pass
ing the time by preying upon
visiting tourists. He uses a ter
rif1ed refugee lass to lure her
Communist pursuer after her so
he can steal an airplane. Then
he takes off with the refugee,
bat instead of going north to
safety, she winds up in an an
cient Incan village, where the
loot is.
Heston plays this disreputable
lad to the hilt without a bit of
softening. He even manages to
make it seem possible that the
inevitable reform of the hero
won't take place this time and
that is acting. Mitchell has a
high old time of his portrayal of
q completely repugnant adven-
tlfrer who also wants that mil
ion-dollar gold piece and doesn't
mind committing homicide to get
it. He revelS in depravity.
It's a pleasure to watch them
work and they make some
stretches of Secret of the Incas"
both creditable and dramatic.
Nicole Maurey. a French import
playing the refugee. makes a lot
of it worth the effort, too. And
you can add another assist from
Robert Young, cast in a some
what incidental role as an
archaeologiSt who doesn't get
the girl.
When these people are hard
aG work, Secret of the Incas"
gets along fine. There seem to
be great pauses, however, where
time passes and nothing much
happens to the plot. These are
more trying when urban and in
doors; those color landscapes of
the great, high Peruvian out
doors are often breathtaking.
The pauses aren't so bad, either,
when turned over to Yma Sumac
and that voice which ranges
from growl in the basement
to the supersonic levels where
only dogs and women can hear
her. She only sings two or three
songs, though.

is a disciplined group that goes
about its business with q pleas
antly visible conviction that Gil
bert and Sullivan knew theirs.
This was a sound premise.

At the National, where it made
it's first appearance in Wash
ington, one of the groups
charms was its lack Of pretenSe
to bigness. It is, in effect. Gill
bert and Sullivan In miniature,
but by no means lost on the
vast stage and in the hugenesS
of the amphitheater's bowl. =.
This sceneryless. but brill
liantly costumed 'Mikado" Is
sung, solo and ensemble. as It Is
supposed to be. And 1t is acted
as comic opera must be If 1t is
to avoid the mask Of claSsicisn.
Miss Raedler's staging Of '"The
Mikado" is promised on the fact
that it is a perfect blend Of fun
and lyrical loneliness.
It is an excellent company of
singing actors (Which always
comes out Shining actors" on
this typewriter), that she has
assembled and moulded during
the last five years.
Its outstanding performer, as
he is supposed to be in "The
Mikado," is Rue Knapp, a Ko-Ko
who is vocally the superior OF
Martyr Green. the most famous
Of Lord High Executioners, and
who has picked up so many OF
the tricks that made the. latter
one Of the periods great comedi-
ans. John Bridson is a Pooh
Bah with a properly thunderous
voice and the cascading JUNCTION
to make the character one OF
the funniest In the Gilbert and
Sullivan gallery.
Norman Paige is a gifted tenor
who has the surprising virtue OF
being young and handsome
enough to look as Nanki Poo
must have when THE Mikado'
was young. And he is properly
mated in Miss Raedler's COM
pany with Sally Knapp, aYum
Yum who clearly is what the
author had in mind when he
christened the character. Such
others as Ronald Bush as the
aweSome Mikado and Mary
Ellen Thompson as the even
more awesome Katisha are i'm
pressive assets to the company.
They make 1.-THE Mikado" a
happy choice to start the amphi-
theater season.

that has been said of it, which
is a towering lot of superlatives
It's 1000 columns of water, ris-
ing, falling, twisting, turning anC

ballet to comedy jitterbug. 1t is

under the inspiration of a special
musical score, proves that plumb

the possibility of a shower. But
this did not discourage the
largest first night crowd since
the amphitheater opened four
seasons ago with the first per-
Torrance of the SeSquicentennial

The crowd was discounted,
but brave, when the possible
shower became a sprinkle at, of
all appropriate times, when YUM

launched into Here's a How

quickly to the kind of "How-De-

shower, demanded two encores-
