Commission D smisses
Charge Of BrutulitY
Against Putrolmun

A charge of brutality
against Patrolman Jesus
Colon of the st. Thomas
Police Force was dismissed
last Thursday by the Police
and Fire Commission. 1t
found, however, that the
officer used undue force in
subduing Fred Steinman,
one night during the carni-
val season. Charges of dis
orderly conduct and assault
and battery against Stein
man will be heard in the
Saint Thomas Municipal
Court today.
The Commission ordered
the patrolman reinstated to
duty, with the only punish
ment being the loss of the
weeks pay for which he
was suspended by Commits
sioner Jack Monsanto.
Witnesses testified that
Steinman abused the Police
man, made insulting re
marks about his race, and
according to Colon, hit him
under the eye, inflicting a

wound.
Steinman said that the
patrolman beat him in the
back with his club, without
provocation when he was
leading him to a cell.
Members of the Commits

Aubrey Ottley and Mr..

the charges against the Off

~~A0 VA
Budget to June
Governor Ralph PaieWon-
sky has ordered a screening
OF all expenditures from
until the end of June, as
revenues in the Virgin Is
lands took a decided dip.
Only items which cannot
be postponed until the next
fiscal year will be bought.
All departmental requisi-
tions are now being scruti-
nized.
Although April is Income
Tax month, the increase in
income taxes this year
dropped from 1888 per
cent at the end of March to
$500 per cent at the end Of
April, Budget Director Nor
ris F, de Castro reported.
This is the trend which in
dicates that revenues this
year will not come up to ex-
pectations." Mr.. de Castro
stated. Real property taxes,
trade and excise taxes and
customs dues are down. At
April 80, the islands gov
eminent h a d collected
SIS, $4,000 in revenue.
Mr.. de Castro said with
April Income taxes now in,
it appears that we will not
reach our previously esti-
mated revenues Of SO, 2OO,-
900. This estimate should
be revised downward to
anywhere between So, 8OO,-
600 and SO, 100000.

A group of faculty mem

H. Engqvist, arrived in st.
Thomas Sunday.
The group, which con-
sists of architects a n d
specialists in interior arts,
furniture and town plan

material in the form of
photographs, surveys and
measured drawings of the
towns, buildings, monu-
ments and furniture of the
Virgin Islands for a COM
prehensive study of the
history and planning of the
towns of Charlotte Amalie,
Christiansted and Frederik-
sted and the architectural
and cultural history Of the
former Danish West Indies.
Although there has long
been an interest and appre-
citation amongst residents
as well as visitors to the Is
lands of the quality and
richness Of the Virgin Is
lands architectural tradi-
ton there is little available
literature on the subject.
The study in published

be a means to spread and
deepen the understanding
of a valuable cultural asset

ApOlnL. our steel DanQS were sDIOuSlIs III lIOLl Dt MUS
and Antigua, and these four steel bands q should like to
exclude atthis point Tortola because Tortola is one of
the Virgin Islands; they are British Virgin Islanders but
they are neighbors and whenever the Tortola steel bands
come here they make a definite contribution to Carni-
vaD; but these four other steel bands that came down
made an agreement with the Carnival Committee and it
was agreed upon they would receive SO much money for
taking part in the Carnival, leading the tranps and
competing in the steel band competition. Their trans
~portaton was paid. But when they got here they had
their own union leader that they brought from down the
Islands. And no sooner than they had arrived here, they
started to lay down a lot Of demands; they refused to go
on tramps; and threatened to strike. They came all the
way to the Virgin Islands to pull a strike. Have you ever
heard worse? Then, when the time came for the steel
band competition, they decided that they were not going
to take part in any steel band competition unless each
man received so much flat salary for taking part, plus
whatever prizes they win.
Nh. Chairman, / believe that we have enough steel
bands here in the Virgin Islands, including Tortola and
ST. John, to have a fine Carnival; no trouble Of any kind.
In fact, / believe, that our steel bands here in the Virgin
Islands, and particularly those in ST. Croix land / think
everybody will agree to thls) are the finest steel bands
that exist here in the Caribbean Area from here all the
way down to Trinidad at the present time. So why
should we bring these people in to harrass the Carnival
Committee and take advantage of the Virgin Islands
Carnival as we know it? Personally, if / had been run
ming the Carnival as have in the past, when they had
pulled that would have put them on the boat and they
would have been leaving before they had finished the
argument; because I don't think that that is the spirit
of Carnival.
also think that our Carnival is becoming too COM
mercialized. lot Of people are in it for the buck. don't
think we started Carnival for the buck. Carnival was
started for the Virgin Islanders to have a good time; it
was to be a healthy outlet, and we had some wonderful
Carnivals. At the same time, / don't think that in Carni-
val you also have to have a pagan bacchanal with a lot
of rudeness; disgusting rudeness. / agree with what has
been said in the newspaper about what went on in that
Calypso Tent. The calypsos were bad enough, but the
~gyrations and the actions Of the people on the stage there
well have never seen anything like it except in the
cheapest n~ightclubs that are only frequented by men;
certainly not in a public place such as our ball park
which was built for the use Of our community, and then
we hold it there that virtually gives the stamp Of APP
proval of this Territory to what goes on in there. And
when you have fifteen hundred people of which the
majority are ~teenagers and women, I think it is dis
graceful. Ond I'm not a "blue-nose" Butt say that that's
going a little too far.

PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any Privileges Of the
Floor AT thiS timer
Mr.. DE LUGO: Mr.. Chairman

Mr.. DE LUGO: Mr.. Chairman.
H PRESIDENT: Senator De Lugo.
Mr.. DE LUGO: First of all, / would ike to call to
the attention Of this Body that the Democratic Senators
intend to introduce legislation which + believe will get
the full support Of this Body. ! believe we are all aware
Of the fact that perhaps the personnel laws OF the Virgin
Islands Territory are a bit stringent and from time to
time may hamper the efficient operation of various de-
~partments. We propose legislation to remedy a portion
of this problem.
Many times, Mr.. President, you will find that there
is a vacancy in a department and the department. head
orCommissioner applies to Personnel and the Personnel
Department does not have anyone available on the list
for the position and they cannot find anyone and there
fore the position is filled on an emergency basis. And
under our laws you can have an emergency appoint
ment for up to sixty days. But then the person cannot
be kept on after that. And manyt times you will find that
these people that are taken on on an emergency basis
serve we'll, with complete satisfaction of everyone con-
cerned. And they are an asset to the department that
they served in and they should be kept there, but the
law does not allow the Commissioner to keep these peo-i
pie on.
We propose to amend the law so that any govern
ment employee who serves for sixty days, II his service
is considered satisfactory by the Commissioner, the
Commissioner will be empowered to certify them to give
them a permanent appointment with the consent OF the
Governor. believe that this will be a big help in many
departments.
Another point that / should like to raise at this
moment, has to do with our Virgin Islands Carnival.
believe that | speak for many in our community
when | say that there is serious concern over many
events that rose out Of our recent Virgin Islands Car
nival. Many Of us who have known and loved Carnival
fora long time are concerned over the fact that it seems
to be getting away from it's original purpose, and that
perhaps Virgin Islanders are losing control OF their Car
nival.
We have had a shocking amount Of violence during
this Carnival; a shocking amount OF vandalism land
when / say shocking / do not mean that it compares in
any way with other communities that have such festivi-I
ties, but shocking to u.s. For nine years ago when we
started our first Carnival, for the first few carnivals we
had none Of that. And | can safely say that most Of this
does not originate with people who live and make their
homes here in the Virgin Islands.
There seems to be an attitude growing up in the
islands to the South Of US that people can come here at
Carnival Time and do virtually whatever they will. And

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BUCK ROGERS
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: Do you know the
origin Of "lukewarm"? Was the
Apostle Luke less enthusiastic
than the others? Could it be a
corruption of like warm?
What do you say?-Helen L.
Kaufman, Hampton, N. j.
Answer: Both your theories
are ingenious. but neither quite
hits the mark. Actually luke"
is simply the modern spelling
Of the Middle English "louke,"
meaning tepid, which in turn
came from the Dutch "leuk."
Since tepid itself means bare
ly warm, "lukewarm" certainly
seems redundant - but that
won't diminish its popularity
after all these centuries.
Question: On that cheese
program that Perry Como
graces, they seem to be hav-
ing trouble between the word
people and the music people.
Anyway that's what it sounded
like last night because the an
nouncer kept plugging MIN-ee-
uh-choor (miniature) marsh
mallows, while the chorus kept
insisting that they were MIN
ih-qhoor. I guess q tsree syl-
labs pronunciation Is more

miniature" than a four-sylla-
BILE one, but If I count the
vowels correctly, the announcer
seems right and the chorus
wrong. What say?-L. p, Pitts
burgh.
Answer: Miniature" should
Evening star., 1961-11-23

be pronounced with all four
syllables heard: MIN-ee-uh-
cher mote that the last sylla-
BILE is Cher" not "choor")
However, a very substantial
percentage Of literate, WELL
educated people say it as MIN

nunciations.
VERDICT: MIN-ee-uh-c cher

uh-cher. This second pronun-
citation has become especially
common since the 1930's when

our lives. So all leading die
