Tc Statement Of Sen. OttleY
On Tree Port" Status
Continued from Saturday.

Senator Ottley recently be-
n1oaned the fact that there Were
not enough scholarships available
to Virgin Islands Students for
study abroad, but again, he and
his Party did nothing to remedy
the situation. Virgin Islands De-
mocratS were recently able to
have an amendment put into the
Multi-million dollar Scholarship
Bill which is presently before the
Senate Of the United States to
include the Virgin Islands. More
over, although the Unity Party
through its spokesman Earl B.
Ottley hac constantly bemoaned
the fact that the Harbor in Char
lotte Amalie has not be dredged
or improved in years they have
done nothing about it. The Free
Port Delegation which has just
returned from Washington has
been able to do something about
that and several other problems.

done Senator Ottley of course will
get on the air later and tell you
that we did not do it. and that I
am Just talking THROUGH nv kat.
But I am waiting for Senator
Ottley to do just that because,
Ladies and Gentlemen l have
with me the proof and it will be
released like a BOMBSHELL at
the proper time.
We have g frra commitment
from the Chairman of the Con-
gress;onal Committee on Appro-
pr atoms Congressman Mike Ker-
win of Ohio, who is also the Chair
man Of the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee, that
his Appropriations Comm. will ap
uropriate during the next Session
of CONGRESS moneys for the dredg-
ing and improvement of the Har-
Dor here in Saint Thomas and the
tFarbor in Christiansted, Saint
Croix. We also have a very firm
commitment from the Democratic
National Committee that during
the next Session of Congress,
when it is expected that the De-
mocratic Party will win over
Whelming control of both the
House and the Senate, that the
Democratic Party will put its
tremendous weight behind of Sc
curing for the People of the Vir-
gin Islands a RESIDENT COM

given to the Virgin Islands Dele
