Creates Esteem Abroad

When Mr.. Anastasi Moutou-
ktas, a 79-year-old naturalized
American far from his family in
his native Greece, was buried
here one day last June, his
mourners were two workers from
the Travellers Aid Society, who
helped him through the last
journey of all.
He had dreams. Miss Frances
Mayse of Travellers Aid wrote his
family, in a gentle letter after
his death, "of finding job, saw
ing lot of money and one day
opening his own business. even
If it took him 20 years.
He had been tailor and
fine one, but now he was old and
his eyeSight was poor. He
couldn't admit he was not as
capable as ever. He had been
moving around a good bit look
ing for work and was on his way
from Florida to New York when
he came to Travellers Aid.
Mr.. Moutoukias was frail and
weak and had had two heart
attacks. but he didn't want pro-
tective housing.
A matter of real Importance
to him, Miss Mayse commented
IN her letter, was what he called
his freedom
He wanted to travel around
the country unhampered. So,
although the Travellers Aid felt
a nursing home was advisable. /
they did not force the issue and
arranged instead to pay for his
room and board until his next
pension check arrived.
Mr.. Moutoukias did not feel
well on May 30. The society
called doctor, who transferred 4
him to local hospital. He died 4
the next day of congestive heart |
failure.
Miss Mayse wrote the family:

st. Thomas Virgin Islands fI f
sirs:
have the honor to submit to you for consideration and
action a bill to provide for Low Rent Public Housing, Slum
Clearance and Urban Redevelopment, and to Establish a
Virgin Islands Housing and Renewal Authority.
"A Bill covering these matters was passed by the Legs-
lature in its Regular Session of 1855 but was vetoed by me
for the following reasons:
y In Section e. Of the Bill as passed by your honorable
body, Governing Body" is defined as meaning the Legisla-
ture. 1t is my belief that the term Governing Body" as used
throughout. this Bill connotes joint action and approval by
the Legislature and the Governor as is required by law
the legislative functions, to the Governor. No legislative ac-
ton is effective until submitted to and approved by the Gov
ernor.
In the draft submitted for your present consideration
wherever the term Governing Body" formerly vas used
it has been eliminated and the respective functions of the
Legislature and the Governor specifically set forth in the
Bill, thereby eliminating the necessity for definition and use
tof the term Governing Body. SECTIONS 10 () ~; 10 f;
10 lg; 10 hl and SO.
D Section S Q) of the bill as passed by the Legislature
provides that within, fifteen days after the effective date
of the Act, the Governor, subject to the advice and consent
of the Legislature. shall appoint three commissioners"
This requirement for Legislative confirmation Of appoint
ments by the Governor, other than the heads of the major
departments of the Insular government is contrary to the
provisions of section IL of the Organic Act. It has therefore
~ ell ~ u Lie p4SoEuL III d4Ls
- Section 10 Cd of the Bill passed by the Legislature
required that the Governing Body" (the Legislature) should
act upon a plan submitted to it by the Authority within Thir-
ty days. This requirement was felt to indicate that in draft
ing the bill no thought was given to the fact that the Legis-
lature will not be in continuous session as was formerly the
case with the Municipal Council, but would meet yearly
for a period of so days.
This section has therefore been completely revised to pro
vide for consideration of such a plan in accordance with Law.
This legislation is recognized as being essential to the
economic development of the Virgin Islands and for meeting
a pressing need for providing decent and adequate housing
for its people. I share with you the desire to do everything
possible to accomplish this end l neither subscribe to nor
intend to be a party in making a political issue out of the
peoples welfare. I am not interested in who shall get the
credit for having improved living conditions for the Masses,
but rather view this as a joint responsibility of the Legsla-
ture and the Governor working through an Authority which
would be established for this purpose.
I believe the Bill as presented to you will accomplish
this purpose, and I Therefore respectfully request that you

Sirs:
i have the honor to submit for your consideration and
action Bill to authorize the issue of bonds for low cost house
ing in the Virgin Islands.
similar Bill Qo. 81 was passed by your honorable body
in the Regular Session Of 1855 but was vetoed by me for the
following reasons:
y The Bill as passed required joint approval of the
Governor and the Finance Committee of the Lee
gislature of an issue of bonds by the Virgin Islands
Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Gec. u ST.
milar joint approval was required in Section 3 and
Section A.
The American system of Government provides for
a separation Of the powers Of the executive, legis-
lative and judicial branches. This attempt to dele
gate to a committee of the legislature powers which
are purely administrative is held in violation of
this concept.
The power and authority to issue bonds is believed
to be essential to a program for the development
of low rent public housing, sum clearance and ur-
ban redevelopment.
/ am therefore resubmitting this Bill to you with its
Objectionable features deleted, and I respectfully request
that you give it your consideration and action.

Flip FIim-FIanl

Suspicious of something amiss in
the story of Herb Floyd's photo
graphing a monster in the Thames
near London, England, were con-
firmed on Monday, when Henry
Floyd, Herbs father, brought a
letter to the office.
The letter was from Herb, dat
ed February %, and contained an
account of the activities of cert
ain students prior to the sighting
OF the monster. 1t seems as
though the students of Reading
University, where Herb is stu
dent, have a tradition of obtaining
publicity for Rag Day, day set
aside for collection of funds for
children's charities in England.
Herb and five other students plant
ed the whole thing, and succeeded
in hoaXing the Daily Telegraph,
Britain's second largest paper, with
a circulation of 1,250,000 as well
as some of the. local papers. Their
plan was skillful and worked well,
so we're going to keep the secret.
Herb said the biggest charge"
they got was the spoofing of the
representatives of the British Mu-
scum of Natural History.
Editors note any resemblance
between father and son is much
more than purely eoincidental)
