A MINUTE
WITH MI

1t begins to look as If we can
pull out the long handles and
make ready for the real winter
weather ahead. We have no rea-
son to complain. however, as we
have had pleasant fall and
comparatively nice weather.
Reports from other parts of
the nation this week indicate that
the hand of winter has dealt a
cold blow and heaped heavy
snow high in several states thru.
out the midwest and east.
The fuel dealers have been
keeping close tabs on the Their.
momctcrs and barometers for
some weeks now and it looks now
as if they will be about the only
ones who will be happy with the
coming of winted.
The Spudnick and guided mis-.
slle program apparently is as
confusing as ever; even to those
who are in the high security
bracket where the brains are
supposed to be. Particularly
confusing to the public is the
fact that one high ranking ex.
pert will issue statement to
the effect that we have nothing
to worry about. other than pay.
ing the bills. He will say we
are on a par with Russia and on
the verge Of launching some kind
Of scientific device that will
make the Russians satellite look
like a youngsters toy. The next
day another expert comes up
with contrary fact that we are
five years behind the Russians
and that they can wipe out the
free nations any time they de.
eide to attack.
The whole thing boils down
TO the fact that inter.service ri.
valry in the weapons field has
begged the whole program down
and placed the whole nation in
the most dangerous position we
have been in since our birth.
Someone is going to have to
give. and give a lot. with the
realization that more than their
loyalty to their particular branch
of service is to be considered.

N.YSupp. 459, 461 1920 the court held: "There being no
constitutional inhibition upon the power Of the Senate and
Assembly to confer power upon the committee to sit during
the recess or after the adjournment Of the Legislature, the
contention of the defendant that such a power could not be
granted by concurrent resolution is, I think, without merit"
Chief Judge Cardozo, in what was perhaps a dictum, in
People ex rel. Hastings V. Hofstadter, 258 NY 5, 431 1892,
stated: "The great weight of judicial authority sustains the
power of the Legislature to invest its committees with power
to function though the session is over"
We do not stop to examine the state. court decisions
more in detail. They are not controlling here because we are
concerned with the construction of an Act of Congress,
namely, the Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands (68
Stat. 49D.
AS background to the passage of that Act, it is relevant
to refer to the situation as it existed under the Organic Act
of 1886 (9 Stat. 1907. Under that earlier Act, the legislative
power of the Virgin Islands was vested. in the Municipal
Council Of ST. Croix and the Municipal Council of ST. Thomas
and st. John, and in a so-called Legislative Assembly Of the
Virgin Islands" comprising the two municipal councils in
joint session, which legislative assembly was empowered to
enact legislation applicable to the Virgin Islands as a whole.
1t was the common practice of these legislative bodies, by
resolution, to authorize their respective committees to func-
ton in the interim between sessions, as well as during ses-
sions. For instance, a resolution Of the legislative assembly on
August Z, 1852, established certain standing committees OF
the legislative assembly, with full subpoena powers as pro-
vided in Section II of the Organic Act (49 Stat. 1909 Such
committees were instructed to make studies and investlga-
tions on their own motion or upon direction Of the assembly
and were empowered to recommend legislation from time to
time to the assembly. Further, it was provided that the
chairman of the assembly shall determine what legislation,
appointments, studies and other matters fall within the juris-
dichon of the respective committees and shall make appro-
pirate assignments to such committees whether or not the
Assembly is in session"
When the Congress came to revise the Organic Act IN
the spring of 1854, it had under consideration a~blH which,
m tbe whole. was thought to enlarge the degree OF local
autonomy delegated to the people of the Virgin Islands. A
few Of the provisions of the bill were more restrictive, IN

Damage, That Is
By PENNY BRANDENBURG

What does it mean to an ordi.
nary citizen to have a death-deal-
ing mass of machinery and alu-
minum come plummeting out of
the sky into his back yard?
To John Anderson and his fam
lily 1t has meant the complete dis
ruption of his quiet life on State
Route 355 formerly U. S. Rte.
240) between the little villages of
Clarksburg and Hyattstown.
One of a group of about a dozen
houses near the garage operated
by Mrs. Anderson's brother, Jesse
R1ppeon, the Anderson home
was miraculously missed by a
DEB twin-engined plane occupied
by three Capital Airhnes pilots
who were killed instantly in the
crash.
THE trunk of my car was up,
and l crouched behind it. This
was all that saved me from being
sprayed with gasoline or hit with
pieces of the plane" said Mr..
Anderson Saturday morning. The
plane missed Anderson by a few
feet.
The Anderson house and back
yard was sprayed with wreck
age, oil and gasoline.
First on the scene besides Mr.
Anderson was a neighbor, Mr.

mann. The sloping land, sur
rounding a vacant house, had
been used Saturday morning aft
ter the crash for landing by two
planes, an unexplained Army he
licopter and a Capital Airllnes
helicopter. BY Sunday, the rough
lane laid out by Mr.. Moentmann
had been widened into good
sized road.
Rippeon's Garage was SO
damned with autos Saturday
that Mr.. Rippeon decided to give
up trying to carry on his bust
ness. County Roads people lent
saw-horses to owners in the vi
cinity so that they could block
off their driveways to motorists
coming to view the wreckage.
Saturday afternoon police put
up mo parking" signs on both
sides of the narrow road, but no
one paid much attention to them,
or to the saw-horses, according to
spectators.
There was absolutely no con.
troll of the spectators" according
to John H. Davis, two doors away.
THE plane crash was bad enough,
but these people in the yard real
ly disturbed me-" he said Sun
day evening. He estimated at least
10000 spectators were on hand
through the day and night Satur-
day, and remarked that at least
some of them seemed to be inebri-
ated. Il had to put up my own
ropes Sunday morning" he said,

His wife, Alta, was in state

The Andersons spent the night

Saturday night hundreds of mo-
florists continued to lam the road
and mill about the scene, picking
out the wreck with flashlights in
the dark.
1t was not until Sunday morn
ing that Jesse Rippeon, president
of the Hyattstown Volunteer Fire
Department, realized that the
yards of the Andersons and their
neighbors were being slowly
ground to dust. Rope was Dor.
rowed from the Fire Department
and from neighbors, and the
three houses nearest the crash
were roped off completely, allow.

somebody was charging Csc park

going to give the money to the

Rippeon Monday.

The crash occurred at 9:04 am.
BY 10 am. Hyattstown firemen
had roped off the immediate area
of the wreck and saturated the
house and ground with water and
chemicals. County police were di-
recting traffic on the roadway
and keeping persons without Gre

the wreckage to enable rescue
workers to function. Detectives,
firemen, policemen, reporters and
cameramen milled about the
wrecked plane and the Anderson
house. Neighbors and passing mo.
florists were lined up three deep
behind the ropes. Cars were
parked for half a mile along Stale

In barring them, Kyle Ander-
