Hartley Act was passed with
conservative Democratic support.
This act, in part. bans the
closed shop in which only union
members may be hired; makes
unions liable for unfair labor
practices and subject to suit for
violation of contract; outlaws
secondary boycotts by which a
union strikes indirectly at an
other employer; and puts re-
Srictions on the union shop in
which non-union worker may
be hired on agreement that he
will join the union shortly there
after.
Since the passage Of the Taft
Hartley law. a good many States
have passed their own restrictive
legislation aimed at curbing
union activities.
Now the unions are planning
their counteroffensive.

However. the Wet Namese army
took orders from Gen. Wy for
only a few hours and then
switched its loyalty back to Mr..
Diem.
Mr.. Diem's government an

Apparently backing down in

Dear Sir:
IN your issue Of October !
read with interest a letter
from a tourist who had made
a hasty evacuation of Chris
tiansted and ~retreated to An
tigua on account Of the fear
FIJI dog nuisance. / desire to
commend you for 50 forceful-
" bringing this subject to the
attention Of the citizens Of
the island.
So many Of our citizens are
becoming more and more de-
pendent upon the tourist

others through thoughtless-
ness, lack Of consideration, or
some other reasons better
known to themselves, CONT
nue. to perpetuate in this com
munity all manner Of fearful
nuisances.
In the two towns the peace
of the community is being dis
rupted BY all Of the follow

out Of his mind.
It is believed that the time
has come for some positive
and drastic action to be taken.
It does not resolve itself in
to 4 question Of legislation.
The present nuisance laws
are sufficient to cope with the
problem if properly enforced.
I believe that what is most
direly required IS an awaken
ed c-itizenry-people who are
aware Of both their rights as
well as their obligations as ci-
tizens Of a democratic, free
community.
Every citizen owes a duty
to his neighbor to be consider
ate Of his neighbours rights.
This is nothing new. It comes
to US from the ancient law Of
Moses. Thus, a citizen who
maintains within the city an
obnoxious braying donkey or
bowling dog and does not
"give a damn whether he
makes his neighbors' lives
miserable is a poor citizen
and is failing in his duties as
a citizen.
His neighbor, who may hap
pen to be law-abiding and
considerate, has a right to de-
mand a reasonable degree of
consideration from those
around him and can call in
the help Of the law to en-
force his rights.
, 1955-10-15

We can, as individuals,
start carrying out conscien-
tiously our duties as citizens
and reporting to the Police
authorities nuisances that are
otherwise uncomfortable. It
is entirely unreasonable to ex-
pect government officials Or
Police officers to spend their
nights running up and down
the towns trying to arrest
bowling dogs. But if each in
dividuaI citizen boldly faces
up to his civic responsibilities
it would not take long to
clear up these nocturnal nuis-
ances and transform this is
land into a truly peaceful
pnd pleasant place for all to
live.
Sincerely yours,

ORGANIC ACT HEARINGS

ST. r WELCOMES the distinguished members
Of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs OF the House
Of Representatives which will arrive here tomorrow to con-
duct hearings on the New Organic Act. It is most gratifying
to know that Congress considered the matter serious enough
to warrant hearings. These Islands had contended that the
Organic Act was j nsome respects unsatisfactory, and had
advanced the reasons.
DURING H brief hearings the Committee headed
by Representative Wayne Aspinall should be able to CLEAN
enough to offer the necessary amendments. 1t should be re-
called that the new Organic Act is our constitution. It not
only brought about a stable form of government for these.
Islands, but is in great detail much like the Constitution Of
the United States with respect to rights guaranteed, there
fore our serious concern for the Organic Act.
IT IS OOD too, that hearings are being conducted
so soon after the passage of the Act. While the Act
is in large measure satisfactory, one Of the reasons for its
existence is the fact that its author, the late Senator Butler
of Nebraska, was mostly concerned about expenditures and
the way things were going. No bit Of legislation, therefore,
which places 50 much emphasis upon correcting a condition
can in the end prove much else.
H NEW ORGANIC Act fails to give the Legislature
the powers that body should have, it gives the Governor too
much power, including too extensive veto powers, and it
touches somewhat of a tender spotin the way the comptrol
Ter is appointed, and his responsibilities.
THESE HEARINGS indicated that we are alert and
aware of what is going on, and it no doubt served to con
vince these Congressman that there was real purpose in their
trip in this direction.

The vocal works Of a number

virtually untapped for song re-
citals in this country. Especially
with Jos aatos null ois" OF
Sibelius and IT vassen" Of Palm
gren, Mr.. Holmstrom gave at
least some inkling of what must
be very fine vocal writing.
Mr.. Holmstrom was obviously
sincere in his efforts to convey
these unfamiliar works to his
audience. In the few instances
when he was able to sing in a
relaxed way, his voice was mod
estly pleasant, if hardly we'll con-
trolled in all degrees of volume.
Three-quarters of the time,
however, his throat frightened to
the point where he was able to
produce what has always seemed
to me almost a feat of voice

singer trying to do such a thing
would have a whopping problem
on his hands.
Mr.. Holmstrom's groups of
Italian baroque and Schubert
songs, as we'll as an aria from
Don Giovanni" of Mozart, were
endowed with varying degrees of
style of singing that has come
to be known, unfairly enough to
good Italian singers, as the Ital-
ian operatic style. Broad swoops
and portamentissimos were
punctuated periodically by
wrenchihg sobs, and, with every
vestige of rythm erased, all lines
were rendered in a caricature of
cantabile singing.
AS Mr.. Holmstrbmsreached the
last offering on his program. an
aria from Cilea'S "L'Arlesiana, I"
he seemed at last in a completely
comfortable style. If his. ripe
version of what an Italian aria
should resemble was devoid of
musical value. the gusto with
which he finally sang could
hardly be denied.
