measure, said Mr.. Griffith had
told him he favored the bill,

Mcleod said he had been told
Iby Mr.. Griffith that the historic

ing facilities.
Tax-Free Bonds Planned
Revenue bonds authorized by

The measure also provides that

held solely for that purpose. but
in any event not later than SO

The Harris bill provides that
the Secretary of the Interior
acquired all the so-called East
Capitol Street Site" outlined
officially by the National Plan
ming Commission report, and
turn it over to the Armory Board.
Mr.. Harris, during his press
conference explaining his bill,
said however that the Federal
Government already owns about
1877 acres of the 200 acres of the
site. Therefore he pointed out it
might not be necessary to ac-
quire the other three acres pri-
vately owned.

NEW ASSISTANT

BY NOW TOM N Governor Gordons newly
selected Administrative Assistant is settling down in his Job
and knowing his way about.
THIS APPOINTMENT is an interesting one, and serves
as an excellent object lesson of what has been pointed out
many times. MI. Cummings mquestioned abilities, SkiLS and
qualifications aside, the selection brings to mind a number of
points which appropriately can be pointed out at this time
GOOD, though not necessarily vital, that the Gov
ernor selected a public relations man. The Governorship OF
these Islands has been a job of public relations, and much Of
what has gone wrong might have been due to the need for
good relations = relations between the Governor and the
people as a whole, relations between the Governor and the
Senate, and between these Islands and Congress. 1t is there
fore natural to expect that the weight of this office will be
in the direction of which Mr.. Cunning is most skilled.
U THERE ARE other considerations. 1t is strange in
deed that after all the grandioSe talk of self-government, res
pect for the peoples wishes, and the like, that no native
could be found anywhere who could have done. well in that
position. Such a person would have brought a firsthand know
ledge and understanding of the mores and attitudes of the
people, and have been in a position to contribute in areas
where neither .formalzed training nor carefully worded du-
ties or responsibilities might suffice.
H APPOINTMENT also points up the fact that this
Administration, like the Archie Alexander administration,
seems to leave the impression that it is more concerned with
meeting political patronage than with putting into practice
some Of the basic elements of true sel-government. Lest
there should be any doubt whatever, a casual look at the
TOP officials will reveal that among all Territories under the
American flag the Virgin Islands have fewer top flight OIL
Gals than any other territory.
NOW THAT Mr.. Ginning is here we can at least expect
that his knowledge of, and influence in public affairs and

Let me ask you o question,
chief: You are perfectly will
ing to listen to any suggestions
whether from the NAACP or
what?
A. Or any other group, yes.
@. Now after having listened
to suggestions. If in your judy
ment something is wrong for
the police department and
wrong for the public. you are
not going to do it: right?
A. I am not going to do it
in spite of the fact that Mr..
Davidson testified here he
thought he could do a better
job in running the police de-
partment. ! have to disagree
with him.
@. Would you 60 ahead with
the last paragraph?
Calls for Instances
A. "The NAACP has alleged
that the manner of assigning
officers In the Metropolitan
Police Department breeds low
cred morale and efficiency.
Their statements In this point
have been in the nature of
general charges and have been
adequately answered in a gen.
eral manner. I submit that the
should state specific in
stances where they claim that
assignments made by this de-
partment have either lowered
morale or fostered inefiiciency."
I think. Mr.. Robb, that two
officers that testified here yes
terday. ! think it was testified
that they worked together be-
cause they wanted to work to-
gether. They studied for the
examinations together. Now,
no one has tried to break up
their association--either at
work or socially. That is
all right, if they want to do
that. And I think they are
both good officers.
I'm the matter of recruit
ment. I am glad to have any
qualified man as a member Of
the department, regardless of
race or color. Race or color
has nothing whatever to do
with our recruitment policies.
This has always been my posi-
ton and always will be. Since
my appointment as chief of
police, over 100 colored officers
have been appointed-more
than one-third of the total
colored members Of the de-
partment."

Stanley Dedicotes
Bridge-Tunn at
Hampton Roads
BY the Associa ted Press

Gov. Stanley of Virginia
dedicated the Hampton Roads
bridge-tunnel today and said
it will accelerate the indus
trial and economic advance
ment of this entire region"
while many immediate
benefits will accrue to the adj
jacent communities of the
Hampton Roads area, expert
ence has shown that any major
improvement in one region
represents a gain for every
other section Of the Common
wealth. Gov. Stanley said at
the opening Of the $50 million
project.
A northeast storm, bringing
20-mile -an-hour winds and rain,
caused some changes in the
ceremony plans. The speakers
spoke from radio station WVEC
in Hampton. which piped the
address to the roof garden of
the Hotel Chamberlin at Old
Point overlooking the northern
end or the 31a mile facility.

James A. Anderson, whose wife
cut the ribbon at the Norfolk
end, said with this bridge
tunnel we have destroyed dis

Take a long backsight and

squads or units. It may be
noted that within the last few
months. every colored member
|of q headquarters squad has
stated in writing that he does
not wish to be assigned to any
other unit"
@. Is that the robbery squad?
A. Yes.
THE NAACP alleges that !
have implied that / would
rather have an efficient police
force than to solve social prob
lens. I cannot deny that
charge.
II cannot, in good conscience,
order that efficiently operating
teams of partners be separated
and racially intermixed simply
to please the NAACP."
The NAACP implied I would
rather have q sufiicient police
force than to solve some Of
their problems. / cannot deny
that charge. I told Mr.. David
son in the presence Of Commits
sioner Mclaughlin that ! would
not direct any forced associa-
ton of either two white or two
colored officers together, or any
combination. ! was assigning
the men to the units and / ex-
pected the men to get the most
efficient service out Of them. I
don't care how they are used
as long as they get good police
results.
Has Responsibility
And Mr.. Davidson received
this and said that he felt it
should be done regardless of
whether the men wanted to
work together or not. ! cannot
agree with him, and ! will never
do it; the only way I will ever
do it is to be ordered by the
Board of Commissioners. 1 will
never do it becauses of the
NAACP. or because of any other
civic groups who want it.
AS long as I am chief of
police-I told Mr.. Davidson in
the presence Of Commissioner
Mclaughlin have the re-
sponsibility Of operating the
police department that I would
not be hit in the head by them,
the NAACP. or anybody else.
I am going to do the job the
way I think it should be done.
@. Now when you said you
weren't going to be influenced,
chief, would you explain that?
You. of course, are perfectly
willing to listen to suggestions.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-01

have colored officers. I have
not the slightest objection as
to where their commanding
officer uses them. If they want
to put them in the check squad,
or homicide, or auto squad,
that is perfectly all right with
me. There Is no reason why
they shouldn't work with those
squads as well as others.

But I am not going to take
the uniformed men or Of the

Now they mentioned No. 6

slightest objection If they put

we have enough colored officers
to take care of the duties down.
town where we need more.
@. Do you find, chief. that
in certain areas coming of they
are going to do better work
than white officers?
A. I think they can. / think
there is less chance Of the ten
sions and trouble where we do
have colored officers working In
the heavily populated colored
precinct.
@. That just makes common
sense, doesn't It?
A. It does. ! am not out to
change the whole setup or
social setup. I want the police
officers to do the best job.
@. Then you do find that
sometimes, some places, some
jobs, colored officers are super
ior to white officers?
A. OF course. We have many
more Of white officers than we
do Of colored officers: and we
have many more long years Of
service. Up until 1912 we had
very few colored police officers
in the department.
@. Would you continue, chief?
Assigned for Service
A. "All officers, both white
and colored. have been as

is felt they could render the
best possible police service. I
