Expulsion Set
For Tomorrow
By the Associated Press

The Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee has been informed
the expulsion of Soviet Diplo-
mat Konstantin Ekimov from
this country will take place to-
morrow.
! Senator Jenner, Republican of
Indiana, yesterday made public
a letter from the State Depart
ment stating Ekimov will sail for
home aboard the liner Queen
Mary. The Government had or
dered him on October 80 to leave
the country on grounds that he
had abused his position as First
Secretary of the Soviet delega-
ton to the United Nations.
The order was based on testi-
mony taken by the Senate sub
committee disclosing that Ext
NOV had played an important
role in the maneuverings by
which an American-bor child.
Tanya Chwastov, was spirited
out of the countryside aboard
the Queen Mary-on october 3
by her father who is seeking to
take her behind the Iron Curtain.
Her father, Alexei Chwastov,
has been blocked from taking
the child to Russia by a suit filed
in London by his former COM
mon-law wife, the mother of 21a-
lyear-old Tanya.

Endowed by Julius Garfinckel
as a memorial to his mother, for
whom the school is named. the
unique institution was set UP to
help worthy women under the
necessity of earning a livelihood
to fit themselves for vocations,
meanwhile having the comforts
of a good home, healthful meals
and requisite medical attention"
81 Million Endowment
Mr.. Garfinckel had been i'm
pressed in his department store
by the number of women who
came to him badly needing jobs,
yet lacking the necessary train
ing to get them. Under the
terms Of his will in 1886 an en-
dowment of nearly 81 million
was set aside to build a school
to help with this situation. He
left its management to the
YWCA Of Washington.
Over its six years Of operation,
the school has carried out Mr..
Garflnckel's wish. Open to all

indicated during a recent visit
that the people Of the islands
were so dumb that he seriously
doubled they would have the
ability to run their own affairs
during his lifetime. Mr.. Edwards
has referred to the people of the
Virgin Islands in terms that can
not be printed over the radio.
One is beginning to wonder
how much of the chaos, confusion
and maladministration of Cover
nor Alexander was the handi-
work of the Lausi- Edwards team.
Knowing how spiteful are the
men who WELD power in the Ter
ritories Division, we would not be
surprised if they recommend to
Congress that it abolish the Legs
-lature in the Virgin Islands. But
the present Organic Act has vir-
tually done that; so there is lit
tie left for them to do. But / want
to assure the people Of these is
lands that as long as the Legisla-
ture exists, whether in fact or fic-
ton, and we Of the Unity Party
have any say in the matter, no
amount Of pressure, intimidation,
strong-arm hold-up tactics will
convert us into a bunch of YES
men.
I should like to call your atten-
ton to the fact that at the same
time that Lausi was denouncing
US for not voting the full amount
of money recommended by the
Governor for tourism and the
Comptroller, the United States
House of Representatives was
severely trimming President Eli
senhower's foreign aid a%ppropria-
ton.
Naturally, there were bowls
of anguish from the White House
and the Republican side of the
aisle, but did we hear anybody
in the Department of Interior, in
the State Department OF any
where else accuse the Congress
of responsibility? Aren't legisla-

to exercise independent judge
ment to think for themselves, and
to vote as their conscience die
tate, without being insulted,
threatened, ridiculed and abused
and brow-beaten by officials in
the Department Of Interior?
We are very happy to know
that the people are wise to what
is happening. AS a member of the
Unity Party / am glad to see the
large number of citizens, here and
in St. Croix, from all walks of
life, who are joining our organiza-
ton. We realize that we r in a
tough fight. This fight did not
end with the resignation Of Gov
ernor Alexander. Governor Cor
don may be a better Governor,
but he can be no better than the
Department of Interior permits
him to be. The Organic Act was
rugged to make it easy for certain
cliques to gain control of the Lee
gislature. But it didn't work.
It is time that we face reality.
The mess in which we find our
selves will never be completely
cleaned up as long as the present
system of appointing governors
and having them pulled about
like marionettes on a string from
Washington continues.
We must fight and fight vigor-
ously and increasingly for the OPP
portunity to run our own affairs
and chart our own destiny. We
have the ability here.
This fight will not be won in a
short time. It will probably take
years. But the sooner we get up
and fight for the right to be first
class Americans the sooner the
victory will be won. AS loyal
Americans we are entitled to a
better deal. We are not satisfied
with this sad and apparently hope
less state of affairs.

It IS a universal rule wherever

Of the nearly ESQ bills considered
by the legislature there, more
than half came from Governor

Well, this Legislature OF ours
convened early in April, and II
members had not burned the
midnight oil and worked long
overtime hours to prepare bills
and drop them into the hopper,
the Legislature would not have
had a lick Of work to do. In all,
l45 bills were introduced, and
only ten, very belatedly, came
from the Administration.
Let me point out, also, that the
Legislature tried, twice during
the session, to hold confer
ences with the Governor. Motions
were made and passed that the
Governor be invited to the Legs
lature to discuss urgent educa-
tional problems and his proposals
to reorganize the Government.
The Governor refused on both
occasions, but said that if any. le-
gislators wanted to discuss those
matters with him they could call
at his office.
It seems to. us that Messrs.
