THE 81 cROIx AVIS

was called from Washington, {. q, BY local officials to
work as 4 dentist il the Virgin Islands. He was hired BY
the Government Of the Virgin Islands, and, up To now no
3 question has been raised about his ability. Isn't it strange
E that pr. Anduze has waited until now-years after the ar
9 rival Of DR.. Cordero-tO protest ABOUT his qualifications?
f This is dirty politicS-playing with & mans livelihood and
l~nsinuating that q man Of the integrity and honesty Of DR..
4 ONeal, the former Commissioner of Health, would make
political deal
we know Mr. Carrero to be 4 decent, law-abiding citi-
s zen, but Senator de Lugo-ln his desperation-S trying to
$ make him out as a dangerous criminal, completely unfit to-
hold a government job
DR.. Anduzeh asnev been thesaae since he failed to
get the presidency of the Legislature-and all Of us III
here know il. He spends practically all Of his time, during
the present session Of the legislature, reading, refusing to
z listen or to- participate in debate in formal or informal SEES
asionss He has been quietly plotting and making predictions
? that this session of the Legislature would be dismal fail
ure, completely non-productive. These wild accusations of
= his and de LugoS areFpart of a plot designed to wreck the
enviable record which the Third Legislature is presently
writing In the interest Of the people; and, repeat, we
! have passed over go pieces Of legislation BY unanimous
vote.
De8Lugo has taken us to task for not voting for him
! to be Chairman of theaO Organic Act Commission. This fail
ure Of US is a direct cause Of the latest attack. We could not
vote for q man for such an important position because of
incidents involving this gentleman, And, these incidents
] are probably known to the raenabersof the Congress; and,
] ISpeak Of inCidentS in Washington p. We do not choose
to mention these incidents in detail out Of charity for a
fellow legislator even though he has invited such an act
Of reprsal.
IN MI. Ottley's seven terms Of oface-and appearing Be-
fore many congressional committees here and in Washing
ton-Ottley made q good Impression on the members Of
the Congress. All of them respect him. IN fact. whenever
Senator Hodge goes to Washington. congressional leaders
always ask for him: To be remembered to him. Congress-
men like men who fight for whatever they believe in, and,
we should say that Ottley has had no incidents IN Washing
ton Of which he should be ashamed
AS one Of the most successful sessions Of the Is-
lands History comes to IA close, we are glad to have made
this success possible. There will be more attempts made by
vicious, Wifull and frustrated men to throw monkey
Wrenches into the legislative machinery and consequently
hurt the people
That is the statement that Senator Guadalupe and [
issued othe Press and Radio. noticed that the Press has
been filled Withvari0u headlines consistently blasting the
President Of the present Legislature. I would also like to-
Sideine' it says that Hodge has been doing out contracts
ito four newspapers. I would like the Record to show that
the cost Of the Contract to four newspapers including the
Daily News will be much less iii the long run than the
