Not Enough .

E. in this period Of social tension, it is
not enough that whites understand the Ne
gro's contributions to the general well-be-
ing and to the deepening of freedoms. 1t is
utterly essential that Negroes, particularly
the younger generation understand and ap-
preciate the troubles and triumphs that are
part Of their heritage-that goes back a
century and a half in Minnesota. Every
Negro parent in Minnesota ought to see
that his children know something about

Skirts were long and trailing, so trailing that

All this, however, was

EDITORIAL
EXPERIMENTATION

Experimentation
IN THIS TIM of dramatic self-determination and ex-
citing nauonalsm, the matter of full and complete selEgov-
eminent keeps coming to the fore. And that focuses attention
on the future of these Islands. One of these days we shall be
governing ourselves in the truest sense OF the word, and we
should already be on our way with studies and programs lead
ing to that end.
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS it seems to JUS, has one Of four
choices, any one, Or all, Of these will depend upon how recep,
tive Congress and the President are to the proposals advanced
FIRST, WE MAY strike out and seek to become the fifty
first state. Second, we may like Puerto Rico, work towards
commonwealth status. Third, we may become aligned with,
or politically attached to a state, and finally, we may remain
one OF the non-self-governing territories Of the United States
1t is not necessary to even discuss the question of becoming
a new and independent nation because the feeling here is:
and as was aptly put by Attorney John de Jongh, Special As,
sistant to the Governor, we are American citizens, and proud
of it.
NEITHER TIM Q space will permit an extended
discussion Of each Of these possibilities, but the common
wealth status idea may be the most inviting and satisfactory
Under it we retain much Of the advantages of full citizenship,
direct contact with the mainland, and partake in many Of the
programs and activities.
BUT EFORE WE can seek to move in any direction
whatever, much groundwork has to be done. We must prove
a certain amount Of political maturity, and by that is meant
proof over and beyond a doubt. We must become fully self
supporting, and exercise a control over our affairs which con
vinces Congress that we are going places, know where we are
going, and how we are going,
TIL PAST FEW years have given a most satisfactory
indication Of what can take place when a legislative body
cognizant of its responsibilities, can put aside sheer dramatic
politics long enough to address itself to the serious tasks at
hand. And more, this body has shown that it can work with
an executive who demonstrates his willingness to lead in a
positive and constructive manner. At least we are on our way

MR.. MADURO Mr.. President.
THE PRESIDENT: MI. Maduro.
Mr.. MADURO: Mr.. President, l would ike to
suggest that the Legislature have a conference with the
Governor, and it necessary, bring in the Tax Assessor
or others who made the study, and have them explain
why is it that certain properties on the main street have
oeen reduced and in the country they have been increas-
ed, and why IS there a great disparity in assessment
throughout the island. | think that might be the better
approach. Mr.. Paiewonsky has been ushered into this
Government recently. What we are talking about, l
don't think he knows too much about; this thing was
done during the MerWin Administration; many ques-
tons have been raised whether or not the Governor can
go ahead and increase the taxes, the real property taxes,
without the sanction of the Legislature; whether or not
it isn't a function of the Legislature to tax the people, and
not the Executive. l think we'd better get together with
the Governor on it.
THE PRESIDENT: We have just requested Mr..
De Castro to call the Governor down. If he is available,
then we will go into Committee of the Wholeto discuss it.
MR.. GOMEZ: Mr.. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Gomez.
MIR. GOMEZ: Mr.. President, I'd like to make this
inquiry: Can the past Governor or the present Governor
impose taxes without the sanction of the Legislature?
The only thing we agreed with the old Governor about
was that taxes may be increased not more than 10 per
cent. Therefore, how could he go ahead and put in a new
tax structure without the consent OF the Legislature?
He seems to forget that there are three distinct branches
of government. And look upon it that he is just simply
interchangeable old Governor, not the new one-the new
one is simply inheriting the mistakes of the old Cover
nor. But | say this: that if this Legislature would be SO
foolish to accept this tax bill reassessment program) it
would be doing an injustice to every member Of this com
munity. Mr.. Chairman, this is something that we have
to be very careful with.
PRESIDENT: The only thing about that SIna-
tor, is this: that we're going to have to depend on the
good judgment Of the present Governor not to nipple
ment this program, because the existing law says la
per cent of the assessed valuation. And if an assessor re-
assesses a property, your only recourse is through the
Board of Tax Appeals and the Governor Of the Virgin
Islands. That is the law that has been in existence all of
the time.
Okay, gentlemen, we shall go into recess for five

}oW that seems to be quite mrealistic. How can you
lave q house unless you have the land with it? And then
The small piece of yard, I don't know at what rate they
have taxed the yard But in some cases the yard would
be assessed for more than the house.
H PRESIDENT qnterrupting): And another
thing thatWe should observe and that is that some Of the
yards are SO small that you cannot use them for building
anything.
MRS. MILLIN: That's just it! That has been my
contention. What, for instance, can you build in certain
of these yards around here?
MR.. MADURO: Mr.. President.

television station after all.

alton. long stymied in its ef-
forts to obtain a station
because Of lack of funds, yes
terday was awarded $4,000 by
the Old Dominion Foundation
Ito assure the early establish
ment Of such a station.
Spokesman for GWETA said
the gift means they'll begin
broadcasting In time for the
opening Of schools next fall.
Paul Mellon of Upperville
Va, is chairman Of the foun-
dation's board of trustees. An
nouncement Of the award was
made by Monroe Bush, foun.
dation vice president.
In making the announce
ment, Mr.. Bush hailed the as
sociation's efforts over q
period Of years to obtain q
station and made it plain the
foundation knew that the only
thing standing in the way was
money.
Need Is Cited
"There is an urgent need fol-
an educational television sta
tion in Washington" he said
"Old Dominion Foundation
recognizing this, congratulates
the Greater Washington Edu-
cational Television Association
for its careful persistence In
pursuing this goal. The ex-
perience gained by the aSsocia-
ton, through limited in-School
telecasting on commercial sta
tions. will prove invaluable"
Up to now, GWETA's strug-
giles have enabled it to present
only two programs in the last
three years, both broadcast on
commercial channels.
Supported this year by 1s
school systems in the area, plus
a number Of private and paro-
chial schools, the programs are
titled Time for Science" and
Time for the Arts" The school
systems this year contributed
100000.

ing the foundation gift, Mrs.

past cooperation among the
school systems, we expect that
they will be able to provide
support (when the GWETA

for which would be approxi-
mately $l50,000."

Lost, but Search
Results Negative

A supposedly "lost" airplane

storm yesterday, setting off an
extensive search that lasted
until midnight.
The reports flooded area po-
lice with telephone calls and
kept police radios buzzing until
the alert finally was lifted by
the Civil Air Patrol.
The best guess, according to
1t. Col. Nicholas j. Proferes,
CAP operations officer, was
that a low-flying helicopter or
two may have been what first
prompted the calls and after
that it was regular commercial
airliners and a plane sent up to
