Civil Defense Gives
information for July
oath Alert

The Virgin Islands Civil De
Tense organization has submit
ted the following information
in connection with the Hur--
ricane Alert exercise planned
for July oath for the benefit
Of the public.
"The revised Civil Defense
Air Raid Instructions are as
follows:
The Take Cover Signal or
Warning that a hurricane is
iminent will be a wailing tone
for three minutes on the pub
lie sirens.
In the continental United
States where it is vitality ne
cessary to have an evacuation
signal they alert the popula-
ton for evacuation with q
steady blast Of 8 to 5 minutes
on the sirens, etc.
There is no longer an All
Clear Signal on the mainland.
However, we do not anticipate
the need for the use Of the
evacuation signal here IN the
Virgin Islands.
Since it is necessary for US
to have an AL Clear Signal;
IN the event Of q hurricane
and for the purpose Of the
Operation Hurricane Alert
exercise t. be held on July
24th, the All Clear Signal will
be a series Of short steady
blasts on the public sirens for
a duration Of about 2 minutes.

Corneiro coll Indep.
Threot by Rep. Engle|
International Goof
Francisco Corneiro. former
United States District Attor-
ney for the Virgin Islands,
called the threat Of Represen-
tative Clair Engle to give the
islands independence an In
ternational goof'. In q letter
to the editor Attorney Cornell
70 states:
Tuesday nights amazing re
port by one Of the Legisla-
lures Organic Act Commit
teemen just begs for COM
ment. Without reference to
any organization with which
I may be identified, permit
me to offer these observations
/. Obviously, Congressman
Engle's independence bill for
the Virgin Islands has been q
facetious gesture, provoked,
no doubt, by his disgust at the
way government is operating
here. Equally obvious, It is,
that no responsible group or
person including Mr.. Engle
HGtE
himself, takes any such pro-
position seriously. It is an in
suit to the Congress, and to
our intelligence, to suggest
that our national representa-
tives seriously contemplate
the commission Of an interna-
tional "goof" merely because
a California Congressman Is
irritated by the antics Of some
of our legislators. The most
charitable thing to say about
treating this matter with all
the trimmings Of panic is that
it reflects an alarming lack of
perspective.

loose talk that sometimes
achieves wide circulation is

British Paper Says
Missing Diver May
Be Captive of Reds

LONDON, May 4 (P.-London
newspapers speculated today
that a missing British frogman
may have been caught by Rus
sian sailors while engaged in
spying on the cruiser
which brought B. and K. to
London.
The Daily Sketch quoted an
unnamed royal navy officer as
saying the diver-Comdr. Lionel
Buster" Crabb-may have been
a prisoner on the OrdZhonikidze
when it sailed off last week with
Soviet Premier Bulganin and
Communist Party Boss Nikita
Khrushchev.
Comdr. Crabb, 40, disappeared
April 10. That was the day after
the cruiser arrived in Portsmouth
Harbor with the transforming
Kremlin chiefs.
The Admiralty announced last
week that Comdr. Crabb was
missing and presumed drowned
on a secret underwater expert
ment off Portsmouth, but his
body has not been found.
The Admiralty confirmed it
had hired Comdr. Crabb, a re-
tired member of the naval serv-
ice, but declined to say what
kind of work he was doing.

RICHMOND, Feb. "a (R.-
TIE big budget fights that have
characterized recent sessions of
the Virginia Legislature appar-
emily will be averted this year.
The House approved In record
four-hour time yesterday an
1896 million appropriations bill
for State agency and institution
functions for the two-year fiscal
period beginning July !.
This sum was $l0.657. 900
above the amount recommended
by Gov. Stanley and his fir1an-
cial advisers in the budget SUBJ
mitted to the General Assembly
early in January.
The additional money was In
serted by the House Appropria-
lions Committee. which was be-
sieeed with requests for sass
million above the Governors
total.
An attempt to swell the final
figure by an extra Si,s3o 900 70
help poorer localities meet their
teacher pay scales was beaten
down by q humping margin
during floor debate.
Rejects Compromise
Meanwhile House Speaker +.
Blackburn Moore apparently has
rejected any attempt ut compro-
mise on his resolution to declare
d State policy for continued
school segregation In ls56-57.
II do not understand how any
one who opposes the mixing Of
the races IN the public schools
could be against the resolution, |"
said Mr.. Moore In d statement
released late yesterday.
He issued the statement shortly
after an undercurTent Of oppo-
sition burgeoned into DEFINITE
form with two new resolutions
aimed ct having q special session
OF the Legislature before the
school year begins In September.
The special session would linz
plement legislation to carry out
proposals Of the Gray Commits
sion for avoiding compulsory In
tegration 10 vtrginia's public
schools.
/ Stirs Opposition
The Moore resolution has
aroused the ire Of some members
of the Gray Commission, as well
Jas other legislators. who view II
as q means OF sidetracking the
Gray program.
The feeling among this seq
ment Of lawmakers is that the
Moore resolution would be nc
court defense for localities which
may be called up for reckoning
on what plans are being made
to comply : with the Supreme
Courts 1854 decision outlawine
segregation in the schools.
They think the Gray program
should be adopted as a possible
legal tout" in the segregation
situation.
Nut Mr.. Moore, IN his state
ment yesterday, said he believed
the vast majority Of virginians"
don't want the Commonwealth
TO take any action that would
hasten the mixing Of the races
In our public schools by q single
day"
