President Eisenhowers anniversary
S p ERTIM
dent Eisenhower anniversary

Today is the first anniversary of the Inauguration. of
General Dwight p. Eisenhower as President of the United
States. | am sure that the people of the Virgin Islands join
me in extending our respectful congratulations on the ac-
compltshments ofEhis administration, and in praying for
Divine guidance for our President and for our Nation.
Our own responsibilities
During the past two weeks, as we have heard the Pre-
sdant's speech to the Nation, his State of the Union message
to 1.-THE Congress, and his other messages to the Congress on
specific subjects, We are impre ssed with the weight of the
measures that are needed and the policies that must be fixed
to bring peace to the world and security to our people. Thus
we should realize more than ever that, even in this far-flung
outpost of the Nation. we as American citizens must willingly
and ably Undertake our responsibilities and share in the bur-
dens that are necessary in order that democracy may prevail.
freedom, although God-given, depends on us, too. It is
a fragile gift entrusted to us, which we must preserve and
fortify"
We can do our part in providing security for our own people
here in these small Islands by our own hard work, by honest
toll, by giving an honest days work for a days pay, by inn
proving our skilTs in whatever sphere of labor or of business
we may be, and by reducing our dependence on the National
Government and by colrespondingly Increasing our depend
ence on our own initiative and on our own industry.
The Governorship
guess many of you in my radio audience are puzzled
as l am as to my continuance as your Governor up to this
time. One Heterogeneous person has even stated publicly,
as I read in the papers, that I am serving on borrowed time.
He was ch~astisng me for exercising my constitutional right
to veto a bill. i
Well, let me say this: A year is a long time to con-
tinue as a shold-over".To me, it has some significance. That.
am still Governor Of the Virgin Islands is no fault Of mine
That / have been honored by the confidence of the new Adj
ministration in having kept me in office for a full year, am

Government-afte nearly IS and a half -ears--whenever the
sees fit to appoint my successor. Until that time
however, shall not waver in my duty nor finch in my res
possibility, as an officer Of the United States and as the
chief executive Of the Virgin Islands.
Budget call for next fiscal year
have just issued call to all department and agency
heads to prepare and submit their budget estimates for the
fiscal year which will begin on July ], 1854 The estimates
are to be in the hands Of the Governor by February 2Oth
and, according to the Organic Act, the Governors estimates
|of receipts and expenditures must be submitted to the two
Municipal Councils by April lst.
This year we have materially changed our budget estl-
mate for administrative use for the. whole Virgin Islands
Government, including all funds and all activities. We nave
asked for estimates too, from those independent authorities
which are not covered by the municipal budget for the reason
that this is the only way by which we can obtain q complete
fiscal picture of the operations Of the Government OF the
Virgin Islands.
We expect to construct our budget SO as to provide as
easily for requesting appropriations from the two Munlclpal
Councils as from a-single Legislature, should a new organic
act to be passed at this session Of the Congress. We shall al
$50 plan to recommend single appropriations for each depart
Iment or major division thereof, based on approved programs
SO as to eliminate the multitude of allotment accounts which
we are now required to maintain, as we'll as the curnber-

A Public Health Service ofiicer
fred for undisclosed reasons two
years ago has been ordered re-
instated by court action over the
Governments protest that only
the President can require such
reinstatement.
The case came to light today
In Q search Of court records
dealing with the discharge Of
George r. Weber, who served as
chief Of the sanitizing agents
unit Of the Health Service at
Cincinnati before his dismissal.
Catherine Kelly, assistant q.
8. attorney who handled the
Governments case. said the
Justice Department Is studying
the record with a view toward
possible appeal Of the ruling by
U. 8. District Judge Alexander
Holtzoff.
Order Issued December Is.
Judge Holtzoff's order to re-
instate Mr., Weber was issued
on December Is Of this year.
The judge directed that he be
reinstated in his former position
Of scientist, which is equivalent
to major In the military service.
Mr.. Weber was honorably dis
charged as of December 81, 1852,
and appealed one year later
He contended that he was
hired by the Health Service De-
eember 4. 1946, was advanced
In grade and that no adverse
reports on his work had been
made prior to notification In
April. 1852, that a board would
review his record
The review was made under q
law providing for such studies
at the end Of the first three
years Of employment. It is
aimed at determining whether a
worker is TO be continued in the
service.
Order Results From Review.
Court papers showed that as a
result Of the boards review. a
unanimous recommendation was
made that Mr.. Weber be sep
arated from the service.
Mr.. Weber contended the re-
view action was taken four years

Police 10 GET Course
On Gaming Evidence

Key members Of the Metro
politan Police Department will
get q '.refresher course" next
year In the correct procedures
for developing gambling cases
that will hold up In court.
This was decided at q meeting
conducted yesterday by United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover
with members Of the police de-
partment.
After q fashion, the refresher
will be q resumption Of a police
practice Of several years ago. It
was customary for police ofncers
to take six-week refreshers. on
various phases Of work ut the
Police Academy.
This was discontinued when
police administrators decided
they could not spare men OF
active duty. The new plan viii
not take so long, but will consist
of lectures by members Of the
United States Attorneys ofiice.
The fact that many gambling
cases have bounced" from the
appeals courts contributed to .
decision to tighten up on pro-
cedures for making cases.

He also contended that the

Miss Kelly argued that Mr.,

firmation by the Senate and not

ALICE AND-THE Big BAD WOLF
Continued from page mine

who touched him for a loan of
fifty dollars.
The next day Tony telephoned
Alice. interrupting her in the
task Of painting kitchen chair.
to tell her he was leaving on a
long business trip to Mexico. He
would be back at the end of the
year to ask her again. he said.
and Alice had to think a moment
to remember what he was talk
ing about. She was more con-
cerned with the dismaying fact
that she had got paint on the
telephone.
A WEEK later a portly little
man came to call on Joe and
Alice. His name, he said. was
Alfred Flanders. He was a Lon
don solicitor. He was in America.
he said, investigating a matter
that might possibly be of even
tual advantage to Joe, and he
wished to ask Joe a series of
questions.
All this was puzzling but in
triguing. and Joe was glad to
give what information he could.
Mr.. Flanders took a document
out of his briefcase. squeezed
pince-nez over his nose. and read
the questions.
Theyconcerned Joe's full lname
and place and date of birth. the
full names and places and dates
of birth of his mother and father.
his fathers profession. and the
full names and places and dates
of birth of his fathers parents.
MIR. Flanders carefully noted
Joe's answers on the margin of
the paper. writing with large.
old-fashioned fountain pen that
he shook before each use. Then
he put away his glasses and the
document, shook hands with
Alice and Joe. and said he would
return in due time.
Joe said. But what's this
about?"
II MAY only say at this point
it concerns a legacy" Mr.. Flan-
ders said. He held up a warning
finger. He said. ''But l must eau
ton you not to be inspired to
premature hopes" He put his
black homburg on the top of his
head and said good night.
