A record breaking number of
100 cases was listed for trial in
judge John d. Johnson's NUM-
cipal Court Monday morning. 1t
was the highest number of cases
heard in a single day since Judge
johnson has been presiding at the
local court.
Not too many highlight cases
were in the number, but there
seemed to be never ending line
of average cases coming and go
ing.
Amusing indeed was the case OF
J. c. Galloway, who was charged
with drunk and disorderly con-
duct, creating a disturbance. CAL
loway, who was arrested last Sat-
urday by Officer Maddox and his
partner in front of 6848 NV 18th
ave. for creating a disturbance
with his wife, who was trying to
get away from him, told a strange
story. Galloway told the court
that he does not drink. But he
admitted taking a little Shine
along with some rock candy for
a cold from which he had been
suffering. He insisted, however,
that the pastor of the church which
he attends regularly advised him
to take the shine and candy. The
officer said Calloway's breath was
smelling high with intoxicating
beverage at the time that they
arrested him. Somewhat amused
at the advice which Galloway said
his pastor gave him, Judge John
son fined Galloway $25 or 10 days
in Jail.
Willie Mays was also up for
trial Monday morning, on charges
of disorderly conduct by sleeping
on private property - BIT this
was not the star centerfelder OF
the New York Giants. This Willie
Mays said he lives at 144Ol jack
son St. in Richmond Heights. He
was found sleeping in car, the
owner of which was not known
by him. Aroused neighbors thought
at first that Mays was a dying
man, but when Officer Roy Hines
and his partner arrived on the
scene they found that Mays was
only sleeping off a drunk in front
Of 260 NV 7th ST., early Sunday
morning. Mays was fined $25 or
10 days.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:

Segregation Fight
Looms In Assembly

The House of Assembly was
literally on fire on Monday night,
January %, and had to adjourn
without completing the nights
agenda, or giving notice of its
next regular meeting. 1t all hap
pened when the resolution of Mr..
Etienne Dupuch against racial seq
regation was defeated by two
votes.
MIR. Dupuch spoke out loudly in
a protest against the Speaker for
the discriminatory way the latter
appointed the committees. The
Speaker ordered Mr.. Dupuch tc
be removed from the House by
the police. But Mr.. Dupuch said
that he would rather sleep be-
hind the prison bars than fail to
register his protest. Shouts of,
"We'll 60 wherever you CO." was
heard from the crowd. AS the
debate became more tense the
House adjourned pronto.
The following members of the
House voted against segregation:

Sawyer, Etienne Dupuch, B |
Cambridge, DR.. c. r. Walker,

WHAT'S BEHIND IT ALL?

HENEV ONE public official takes the witness
stand, or makes public statements tending to set up natives
Of St. Croix as lazy and unproductive and therefore not en-
titled to any increase in wages OF improved conditions the
hands Of the clock seem to turn back. What is behind it aNF
How much Of it is true and can stand scrutiny? Is there any
scientific or statistical basis for raising such claimSP
THE LAST OFFICIAL who contended that our people
were lazy and highly irresponsible, and therefore not entitled
either to have a greater voice in our affairs or more OF the
GOOD things of life was former Administrator Harry +. Taylor.
His statements were made before a Congressional commit
tee.
II Is SIGNIFICANT that none Of these officials see
fit to 90 beyond the matter Of sheer opinion, And perhaps
the time has come to undertake a real study of the question,
and if indeed, the people of St. Croix have not matured, then
to do something about it.
TWO IMPORTANT fact pattern must not be overlook
ed. There was a time when Americas most productive man
uaI labor came from Ireland and other parts Of Europe. The
great railroads Of the West were laid down largely by labor
imported from outside the United States. And what was be-
hind itP AS a general rule where population is heavy and liv-
ing conditions not favorable great numbers of people travel
to other areas. Coming in large number the new arrivals seek
employment wherever they can and usually produce more
than all others. That there may be imported labor which pro-
duces more than the local labor is not, therefore, a situation
peculiar to St. Croix.
SECONDLY, THE people Of the Virgin Islands, includ-
ing CruzianS, have developed a reputation for consistent,
hard work wherever they have gone, in New York and other
cities of the continent.
PERHAPS H time has come to get down to a real
study Of the situation and comeup with some answers which
are scientific as well as logical Perhaps thetime has come to
