OttleY Predicts Fight
for Presidency of
V. I. Legislature

Senator Earle Ottley, editor
and publisher of the Home
Journal, predicts a fight for
the presidency Of the Virgin
Islands Senate when it con-
venes in April of next year.
The Journal article states:
"A fight over the leadership
of the new legislature which
is converting in April shaped
up this week with Senators
Walter Hodge and John Mer-
win sharing the spotlight.
A majority of local Demo-
Gratis strongly supported Mer-
wins bid for the leadership,
but it was uncertain whether
the four candidates elected
under the Democratic banner
would all vote for him. If he
gets those four votes, he
would get the presidency,
since he can count on his own
and Senator Lawaetz's votes.

Political Group Urges

Rep. John Willio1ns

A political group on the
mainland known as the Anne
ricans for Democratic Action
called on the Patronage Com
mittee Of Congress to punish
Representative John Williams
also a Democrat of Mississip-
pi just as it did Rep. Adam
Clayton Powell retently, by
cutting off the latter from
all patronage.
The ADA pointed out that
Congressman Williams sup
ported a States Rights tic
ket in the recent Presidential
election.
The ADA Statement said;
that failure to withhold pa
tronage from Rep. Williams
would indicate that the De
mocratic Congressional major
ity views desertion Of the par
ty by a pro-civil-rights North
erner as a much more griev-
GUS sin than desertion of it
by an anti-civil-rights South
erner."

First Prize in X1nus
|Festivul Poster Con.
Stanley Jacobs, a student Of
the 10th grade in the Chris
tiansted High School is the
winner of the first prize in the
Christmas Festival Poster
Contest. Jan Henle of the Is
land School took End prize,
Anton R. Teytaud, also Of the
|Christiansted High school
won third prize and Barbara
|Pivar received Honorable
Mention.
There were forty-three en-
tries in all. Most of them were
good tries but were lacking
in original ideas, the judges
said. Many had Christmas mo-
tits but not many had the
spirit of carnival. This sort Of
competition in the schools
should be encouraged, they
urged.
The judges had the follow
ing to say Of the winning pos
tiers. The first prize had the
most original idea and was
easiest to reproduce; the Sc
cond was colorful and in car
nival mood; original in con-
ception but too hard to re-
produce. The third had good
local color and was well exc
cuted, and of the one that re-
ceived Honorable Mention, it
was colorful also but, as in the
case of the second prize win
ner, is hard to reproduce.
The value Of each prize has
not been announced as yet,
however, it is known that
the contestant who received
Honorable Mention would be
the Princess of the Carnival.
Judges were Cyril Marshall,
MorrelI E. Davis and Mrs.
Dora Giles. Mrs. Giles was
unable to attend due to ill
ness. The drawings were
judged in the office of Mr..

assures that each case on that
level will be decided on its
merits" The board is stated
with trained legal and security
advisers, who also serve full
time.
so Per Cent Of CIearances
All cases flow from the Army,
Navy and Air Force through the
screening board. To date, so per
cent of these cases have resulted
in clearances. whereas under the
old program, 1885, clearances
were issued in only 81 per cent.
And the boards decisions have
been sustained in so per cent
of the cases by hearing and re-
view panels as against the old
program figure of A per cent.
Mr.. Fenton gave the screening
board credit, too, for striking
progress" in the drawing of
specific and detailed Statements
Of reasons" why access to CLASH
fled information should be de-
MED an individual. Several typi-
cal Statements" were set out
| in the appendix to the report
to show the "fullness of disclo-
sure" of the Governments in
formation concerning the in
dividual.
The report defends the use
of confidential informants and
says experience shows that the
great bulk of the information
they give is true.
Mr.. Fenton asserted that cit
is an unusual case where the
truth" of the allegations are
not admitted.
Reduces Anonymous" Data
He said further: I'VE have
found methods to reduce the
amount Of information which
must remain anonymous, and
that "at all times we seek new
procedures which will have the
effect of minimizing reliance
upon unproduced and unproduc-
ible information"
According to Mr.. Fenton, a
continuing effort" is made to
induce confidential witnesses to
doff their cloak of anonymity
and to determine from investi-
gative agencies whether condi-
tons have not so changed as
to permit their special inform
ants to appear and testify"
Mr.. Fenton included 80 case
studies in the appendix to his
report. Most show a denial of
clearance because of Communist
associations. sex deviations and
prison records which had not
been disclosed by the individual.

director OF perSonneI security
policy, said that of Alb cases in
the year ending last July 81, the
Defense Departments central
screening board cleared $50 of
the persons involved for access
to classified information.
Mr.. Fenton said that in the
remaining 1863 cases, as persons
defaulted without requesting a
hearing, 81 were denied and 20
granted clearances, and 70 cases
are pending.
Private Employers Too Harsh
The purpose of the industrial
security program is to help
determine who shall not be per-
mitted access to defense secrets.
The Pentagon does not ask pri-
vate industry to fire a person
denied clearance. In fact, Mr..
Fenton asserted:
Our experience over the past
year indicates that a few De-
partment of Defense contractors
have been unnecessarily harsh
in treating adverse decisions at
any level as grounds for dis
missal, rather than as a man
date to limit such employees ac-
cess by transfer. another lob or
in other ways"
Mr.. Fenton said that while the
department could not intrude,
I'VE have at least an educational
role to play and we have
taken steps to carry out that
role" He cited Pentagon-in-
dustry conferences and a new
series of management courses in
security conducted by his Office.
Government Handicapped
Taking note of the intense
public interest" and the con-
troversies in the internal Secu-
rity field, Mr. Fenton said that
Informed public opinion in the
overall sense has been in
hibited" because the Govern
ment has been obligated to
withhold the information which
would justify its position.
Responsible men have no
quarrel with the purposes of the
program" he commended. But
controversy over method has
served to obscure and dilute
these purposes, and to dampen
this Nations resolution to protect
itself"
He said it was the Govern
ment'S duty to provide as much
information in the security area
as feasible.
Mr.. Fenton praise the mem
bers of the Pentagon's full time
central screening board. He said
they are specially trained and
have developed a degree of
proficiency and a level of under
standing and knowledge "which(

convinced the hearing board that

Life at the Club

NEW YORK.-Today almost
everybody belongs TO a club. You
join club so you can have a
three hour lunch while you put
over a big business deal and
charge 1t of to entertainment"
You join a club so you can meet
every bore you've been avoiding
all day long at the Office. Or
maybe you join club so you can
spend SO in round trip taxi fares
to get drunk at the CLUB bar in
stead of getting drunk in the
saloon downstairs. Whatever
reason, everybody joins a club.
To. my complete amazement, !
now discover that not only do
men join clubs. but some Of
them actually live in clubs.
Life in a mems club is life in
a world apart. The regulars, as
us prominent clubmen are called,
fall into three main classical
tions, There are the stubborn.
professional bachelors. There are
the lonely widowers whose kids
have married off and moved else
where. And there are the guys
whose wives have thrown them
out the front door and then
thrown their hats out the VIM
dow after them.
~
Whichever your classification

Immediately fall into a pattern.
You arrive at the club every
night at the same time just as
exactly as if you were living a
normal life you would catch the
