morrow at the invitation of

the jungle Casino, use Of
which was donated free of all
costs, will defray the expenses
of the others.

at 8 o'clock Sunday morning;
the second at 8 and the third
at 10. At 1890 the performers
will be taken TO the Theatre
to familiarize themselves with
the stage. At 11:30 they will
be taken to the restaurant
known as Queens Quarter
and one of the finest in St.
Thomas, where they will be
fed at a special price.
DR.. James left today with
Rudi Shulterbrandt and his
orchestra. They also took a

Senators Threaten to
Investigate. Curb
Police Powers
Senators leveled their criti-
cism at Acting Commissioner
Of Public Safety George A.
Matthias, for prohibiting park
ing in a street adjoining Pete's
Taxi Station which is causing
hardships on the thirteen driv
ers attached to the station,
according to an article from
the Home Journal. It con-
tinues:
"The driver were not given
any notice, or even given the
chance to discuss the new re-
gulations; it was said.
Senator Rhymer, who
brought the matter to the Lee
gi~slature's attention, moved
that Mr.. Matthias and Police
Chief Felix be invited to a
conference on Tuesday to dis
cuss the matter. The motion
was unanimously adopted.
Other members suggested
that because of the manner
in which traffic regulations
were being issued that legis-
lation be adopted curbing the
powers of the police in this
respect. One member charged
that the police department
H-
was being run by the execu-
tive committee of the (St.
Thomas) Chamber of Com
merce, and said that thus far
all recommendations of the
Chamber have been accepted
except the one to halt mid
night to 6 am. dances.

nifty, impartiality and with
full regard for the laws, the
resolution stated. His strong
stand for constitutional govern
ment, his firm belief in the
orderly administration of the
law and his fairness and JUS
tice to all have inspired the

highly their American way of
life, to the exclusion of any
and all foreign ideologies, the
measure stated.

Asks Retiring
Of PoweII's
Appointees

The Ministers National Civil
Rights Conference this week called
upon Reps. Francis Walter and
Emanuel Celler for the reappoint-
ment of two appointees Of Rep.
Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., who
were dismissed following his sup
port of President Eisenhower in
the last election.
Since one of Congressman
Powell's appointees-Robert Flem-
ing-worked for more than a year,
and the other-Theodore Richard
son-worked for more than two
years, il addition to the fact that
all Capitol jobs are temporary, we
cannot accept your public explana
ton of the reason for dismissal"
the group wired Representative
Walter after an executive meeting
here today.
The MNCRC then called upon
Representative Walter to restore
the dismissed appointees or give
assurance that they would be re

Greenwood Lake, n. Y, Dec. 26
Sugar Ray Robinson conceded
today he lost his "battle of the
electronics" with Gene Fullmer but
predicted he'll still win their Jan. 2
battle for the middle weight champ
ionship.
"He wins the machine but how
about the fight ?" quipped Robin
son after electronics tests showed
he threw a punch as hard but not
at fast as Fuller, Pm not sur
prised at the result. Pm older"
The tests, made by the Lavoia

Staying of 3O-year-old Robert Lee
Conner, 1921 w. Oakley Street,
and the wounding of his wife, Min
ME Lee Conner, at the VS. Club.
Chief of Detectives M. B. Pierce
said Conner and his wife entered
the club about 10 pm. Friday and
Conner asked the Negro woman if
she had change for dollar.
Cora Lee told Detectives B. Cock
rell and L. Tullos that Conner
started cursing her after she told
him she didn't have change.
Conner repeatedly asked for the
change again and called Cora Lee
a bad name.
During the argument, Chief
Pierce said, Conner was supposed
to have reached for a beer bottle,
which he knocked to the floor.
"He picked the bottle up and
put one knee on the counter and
that is when Cora Lee shot. He
was shot once in the chest and once
in the hip and died instantly"
Chief Pierce said.
Minnie was shot in the left arm
just below the shoulder and the
bullet broke the bone.
She was taken to University Hos
pital. Police were not able to
question her about the shooting
because of her condition.
Chief Pierce said she was drunk.
He said Minnie was supposed to
have had a knife in her hand when
Cora Lee shot.
Cora Lee stayed at the club un-
til officers arrived and handed
them the .32 caliber pistol.
This was the first murder re-
ported in Jackson since August 5,
when Homer Walker was shot to
death.

AS for St Therese OF The Roses the Iyrcist would
have done well to check with Roman Catholic theolO-

for phonograph records. The fact that the text goes
way beyond what the Roman Catholic Church expects
of Saints when the crooner beseccheS The Little
Flower to give your blessings" and guide u.s. and
protect u.s. It's God who does those things. All
Christian theology is pretty firm on that.

Hymns VS.. Hits
Now about the tunes. There are some pretty soupy
melodies in longstanding use right in the churches.
Even in the hymnas of such relatively dgnied churches
as the Presbyterian and Episcopal have the familiar
tunes for HE Leadeth Me Just AS AM and what
Friend We Have In Jesus. And somewhat less than
elegant is the music for the Roman Catholic Good

to popular pressure and patrOnizng view of the rector
