Lawmakers Agreed
On Sanitary Agency
Membership Of Seven
By a siur s,off corre,porden,


ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 12.-Mont-
gomery and Prince Georges
County legislators were reported
to be agreed today on increas-
ing the membership of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission to seven.
State Senator H. Winship
Wheatley, jr., Democrat, of
Prince Georges, said he was
drafting amendments to the SAN
itary commission reorganization
bill increasing the number of
commissioners from the six
originally proposed to seven.
The commission would have
seven members only for two
years, however-just long enough
to let all three of the present
Republican commissioners serve
out their six-year terms. Under
the bill first introduced by the
Democratic controlled Mont
gomery and Prince Georges del
egations. one of the incumbents
would have been legislated out
of a job.
In Line With Study.
Mr.. Wheatley said this and
other amendments agreed on
would bring the bill in line with
recommendations of the Gov
ernor's commission to study the
laws governing the Sanitary
Commission, which was headed
by County Circuit Court Judge
j. Raymond Fletcher, Mr..
Wheatley's predecessor in the
Senate.
The Fletcher commission
urged a five-member commits
sion. retaining the three present
commissioners.
Meanwhile, a majority of the
all-Democratic Prince Georges
House delegation was reported to
be in favor of giving the San
itary Commission power to reg
ulate private water and sewer
systems in areas of the county
not in the sanitary district.
Concerned about possible
problems caused by such big de-
velopments outside the sanitary
district as Hoffman City, Dele
gate Hervey G. Machen said he
and other county delegates were
drafting legislation to transfer
power to approve private water
and sewer system plans from
the State Board of Health to the
Sanitary Commission.
Won't Affect Homeowner.
He pointed out that the indi-
vidual homeowner with his priv
ate well and septic tank would
not be affected, nor would the
mean any additional
taxes for residents OF that part
of the county outside the sani-
tary district.
Mr.. Machen said he and Dele
gate Ernest A. LoveleSs are draft
ing legislation extending the
sanitary district to Clinton In
Prince Georges.

Bill 10 Block
DisfiIler Boycott
Montgomery Asks
Statewide Law
On Liquor Selling
By Gene Goodwin
Stor Stoff correspondenf

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 12.-Legis-
lation to block a threatened boy
colt Of the Montgomery County
dispensary system by liquor dis
tillers will be offered in the
Maryland General Assembly
Monday.
The seven Montgomery Coun-
ty members of the Legislature
announced today that "in order
to protect and maintain the dis
pensary systems operating in
Maryland" they will sponsor
legislation to provide that q
distiller who refuses to sell di-
rectly to a liquor control board
in the State automatically shall
forfeit his right to sell bever-
ages in Maryland.
Their statement said that in
the past six months seven dis
tillers have informed Montgom-
cry County that they will dis
continue selling directly to the
county.
Costly to Consumers.
If the distillers get away with
such a boycott, the statement
added. the county would have
to buy its beverages from whole
sale liquor distributors, which
would result in higher prices to
consumers and put the county
stores in a bad competitive posi-
ton with Virginia and the Dis
trict.
Montgomery's 81 million-a-
year dispensary system is one OF
eight such county systems oper-
ating in Maryland. All would be
affected by the Montgomery bill.
Other county dispensary systems
are operating in Caroline, Dor
chester. Hartford, Kent, Somer-
set. Wicomico and Worcester.
OF the eight counties that sell
liquor through county stores,
Montgomery is the only one hav-
ing a monopoly on the sale Of
beer. Beer retailers in Mont
gomery must buy their beer from
the county system at wholesale
prices.
The Montgomery delegations
statement. released by its chair
man, Blair Lee III, points out
that Montgomery is a member
Of the National Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Association, an asso-
citation of monopoly States and
municipalities. AS such, the
county is able to buy alcoholic
beverages directly from distillers
at the same price as that paid by
monopoly States. such as vir-
ginia.
Penalty Provided.
Last fiscal year, the dispensary
system brought the county reve-
nue. amounting to $622,720.
"The proposed legislation will
not force any distillers to sell to
Montgomery County," the state
ment said. "but it will penalize
those distillers attempting to
divert the liquor revenue OBJ
tained by Montgomery County
into private pockets. by pro-
hibiting them from selling any,
where in the State Of Maryland"
Today's statement could be the
harbinger of another bitter battle
between alcoholic beverage in
terests and the county dispensary
systems such as that staged in
the 1851 session when State
Controller ]. Millard Tawes tried
to push through legislation to
end Montgomery's beer monop-
oily. His campaign begged down |
IN Senate and House committees.

VIRGIN ISLANDS OF THE UNITED STATES
A PROCLAMATION
RED CROSS MONTH 1855

. The President of the United States has designated the
month of March, 1855 as RED CROSS MONTH, and has urg-
ed every citizen to respond as generously as possible to this
humanitarian cause.
In peace and war, at home and abroad, the work OF the
American Red Cross symbolizes American courage and COM
passion. Through its blood program for civilians and the
armed forces, services for American troops in foreign coun-
tries, relief work after flood, fire and hurricane, safety and
nursing services-in these and many other ways this organi-
zation tirelessly serves human need.
WHEREFORE, l. A. A. ALEXANDER, Governor Of the
Virgin Islands Of the United States, do call upon the people
of the Virgin Islands to support to the utmost extent the local
Red Cross Drive and to contribute fully to this organization.
IN WHEREOF / have hereunto set my hand
and caused the Seal of the Government of the Virgin Islands
Of the United States to be affixed at Charlotte Amalie, St.
Thomas, this twenty-third day of February, A. D., 1855.

Ieges and universities Of America must serve as the principal
training ground for this type Of leadership, to which must
be added that invaluable school Of experience.
OUR YOUNG E and women must take to the arts,
the sciences, government, and professions, and must have it
instilled into them at a very early age that they will some
day shoulder responsibility And they must be made aware
that it is to their credit to add hster to the standards Of these
Islands.
BUT WHILE all this is conceded merely for the sake
of argument, the glazing truth is that there are to be found,
at this very moment, men and women whose ability, honesty
tragic aspect of the commentary is that, SO far as IS known,
tragic aspect of the commentary is that, $50 far as is known,
no sincere effort was made to explore the situation fully and
to take advantage Of the training and ability Of more natives.
VIRG ISLANDERS are face to face with a most ser
ious problem, and it should by now be clear that if there is
to be such a place as the Virgin Islands, and any such people
as Virgin Islanders, then the time to start preparing to claim
either Of these is now. We sincerely urge that by the time the
next cabinet is appointed the situation will have 50 changed
that no reason whatever could be advanced for not appoint
ing more natives.

THE GOVERNORS CABINET
AS OF THIS writing Governor Alexander h

Virgin Islands, much as the Presidents cabinet is on the
mainland.
THE FACT THAT BUT three natives of the Virgin Is
lands were named to be cabinet members is a tragic com
mentary either on the Virgin Islands themselves or on the
processes of appointment. As to the former, it would be ira
gic indeed if no natives could be found to fill these positions
either within the confines Of these Islands or anywhere else.
On the other hand it would be tragic if the administration
had convinced itself that colohialsm must be perpetuated
and that one of the best ways to do this is to keep at a mini
mum the number of natives in responsible positions.
IN TODAYS world people are demanding their place
in the sun. They demand recognition and the right to a voice.
in their own destiny. It is the type of fermentation evident
since the turn of the century, which has seen the Philippines
get their independence, India freed from British rule, Israel
come into being as a nation, the British sail away from Egypt
and Suez, and Puerto Rico elevated to the status of common
wealth BY its own choosing.
IT A BE argued that the Virgin Islands, because Of
their size and economic limitations, cannot make similar de-
mands. However, be that as it may, this is no reason why
the same basic principle does not apply, and should not find
expression and fulfilment in the right to enjoy the largest
possible share in the actual administration Of our affairs, and
from the highest levels. Certainly, the cabinet which literal
" runs the Government under the Governor cannot be said
to- give credence to the principle of self government at its.
fuIlests and best.
49, IF IT rs. that the Virgin Islands have not yet produced
the type of men and women who can assume serious reSpon-
sibiity for conducting the affairs of their fellow Islanders
then the time has come to do something about it. The col
