Section / of the Organic Act of July %, 1854 pro-
ides that the Governor shall appoint all officials and en-
ployees Of the executive branch Of the Government Of the
Virgin Islands. In my opinion, the powers of suspension,
dismissal and removal are corollary to the power Of ap-
~pointment. This being the case, the Legislature is without
authority to vest any Of these functions in any department,
board or commission.
The power Of appointment, as vested in the Governor
BY the Organic Act, is not a ministerial function and can
not be delegated. / know OF no treason whatsoever why the
Government Employees Service Commission should be
given the authority to suspend employees or to review
suspensions when made by the executive branch Of the
government.
Government employees in the Virgin Islands appear
to me to be well protected under the terms of existing Per
sonnet Merit System Laws. see no reason, therefore, to
c~omplicate and confuse administrative processes further
by imposing all sorts Of unnecessary restrictions and regu-
lations on the executive branch. Of the government.
For these reasons, | have no alternative but to dis
approve Bill No. 1114.

PRESIDENTS: just one moment, please. The
Chair would like to make one announcement under PR
vlleges OF the Floor and that is to let the Members Of the
Legislature know I'm sure that we will have unanimous
agreement on this &. that presently a subcommittee of
the House Of Representatives of the United States is CON
sldering the possibility Of extending to the island Of Puerto
RICO ft1A mortgage insurance to condominium buildings.
These are similar to cooperative apartments except that
each apartment would be owned outright by the indivi-
3ual family that occupies the apartment.
Accordingly, | am writing letters to some Of our
friends in Washington, as well as to our legislative repre-
sentative there, asking to have the Virgin Islands included
in this bill SO that FILA mortgages-for the purpose Of this
tg9e ct construction-could be extended to the islands.
The Chair would also like to announce that we have in
vited the Commissioner of Public Safety-Jack Monsanto
to discuss with US this afternoon Bill No. 1907.
should like to remind members Of the Public Hear
ing set for this evening on the Compulsory Automobile

Office of the Governor
Charlotte Amalie. ST. Thomas
May 27, 1860
The Honorable
The President Of the Legislature
Of the Virgin Islands
Charlotte. Amalie
ST. Thomas. Virgin Islands
Ny dear Mr.. President:
have the honor to return herewith, without my ap-
proval Bill No. 1853, Third Legislature Of the Virgin Is
lands Of the United States, Regular Session, 1860, Actlto
Amend Section 495, Title 3, Virgin Islands Code Relating
to Appeals to the Government Employees Service Com
mission Regarding ClaSsifcations or ALLEGATIONS in the
Classified Service, passed by the Legislature on May %
and presented to me for executive action on May "a, 1860
This bill proposes to amend the Personnel Merit Sys-
tenn Law by:
| Providing for appeal of classification and pay
to the Government Employees Service Com
! mission.
2. Making the decision Of the Commission
final in such cases.
3 Where funds are not available to take care
OF a change in pay due to Redistribution or
reallocation, such change may be deferred to
the beginning OF the next fiscal year.
4 offer no objection to the third feature Of the bill. In
'oot, it is its only redeeming feature. / object seriously,
ever, to the first and second changes In the Merit Sys-
Law mentioned above.
, 1961-02-17

know Of no adequate reason why public employees
should be permitted to take appeals of their classification
and pay to the Government Employees Service Commits
sion. Certainly the executive branch of the government,
which encompasses not only the department heads, but
also the Governor andlor Government Secretary, can be
relied upon to act with p~ropriety, integrity, and justice in
such cases.
Iobject most strongly to a law which would make de
cisions Of the Government Employees Service Commission
final and, in f~act.Would give a Commission, appointed by
the Governor, the right finally to. over-rule a decision Of
the Governor. The Organic Act clearly states that the
Governor shall appoint all officials and employees Of. the
executive branch of the Government Of the Virgin Islands.
The fixing 81 pay, in my opinion, is corollary to the power
of appointment.
Thus, the obvious and only purpose of this bill is to
encroach upon and diminish the prerogatives and respon-
abilities Of the Governor. It is therefore in direct conflict
with the intent Of the Revised Organic Act Of 1854.

cutive has served as a member

cipal Council in the Islands. For
20 years he was Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman for the Vir-
gin Islands.
The text of Mr.. Paiewonsky's
statement follows:
Mr.. Chairman and members of
the Committee, I first wish to
thank each of you for the cour-
tesy you have shown me and for
giving me such a prompt oppor-
tunity to refute certain charges.
During the open hearing last
Friday, March 10, / covered my in
tentions of divesting myself Of
certain holdings which might
raise the possibility of a conflict
of interest. The Committee then
graciously heard the testimony
of Governor De Castro, to accom-
modate his need to leave early.
On Saturday, the hearing was
primarily devoted to testimony
of other witnesses, particularly
those from the Virgin Islands. I
was naturally gratified to note
that all but one of these witness
es testified in favor of confirma-
ton Of nomination. The other wit
ness will, / am confident, be total
ly refuted by me here today.
However, before / proceed with
the rebuttal of his charges against
me, / think it is highly important
to state my views on the task
which faces me if this Commit
tee and the Senate consent to my
nomination.
! believe, with President Ken
nedy, that the Virgin Islands Of
fers America a splendid opportun-
ity to exhibit a true showcase Of
democracy at work. The total alb
sence of racial discrimina-
ton, and the friendly manner in
which all dealings on hte Islands
are handled is in itself a remark
able phenomenon, although we
who live there take it for grant
ed. 1t stands out, however, as an
important object lesson clearly
tabled made in America.

Making his second appearance
before the Senate group, Mr.. Pale
wonsky made a point-by-point re-
futation of charges by the lone cri
tic of his nomination, A. M. Brau-
er, a Virgin Islands distiller, and
told the Senate group that island
ers in all walks of life and va
rious political persuasions'' sup
port him and that leaders Of the
opposition political party consider
him to be "the man most capable
of working in harmony with all
groups involved"
This confidence, he said, "and
with the support Secretary of the
Interior Stewart Udall has assured
me that he will provide, / am con
fident l can undertake a success

A native-born resident of the
Virgin Islands who has spent
most of his So years there, MI.
Paiewonsky declared that the to-
tai lack of racial discrimination
in the Islands lis in itself a re-
markable phenomenon, although
we. who live there take it for
granted. It stands out, however,
as a n important object lesson
one clearly labeled Made In
America"
Principal needs in the Virgin
Islands are adequate supplies of
water, roads, housing, further inn
provement of schools, expanded
public utilities, and 4'time to ac-
accomplish these things, he told
the Senate group.
Mr.. Paiewonsky assured the Sc
majors that he would not carry
any "grudge" back to the Virgin
Islands, despite what he termed
savage, sensational and totally
unjustified charges" made against
him by the sole adverse witness
heard by the Committee.
Mr.. Paiewonsky commented
that it Seems to me an unfortun-
ate part of the democratic pro-
cess that those who offer to
serve public trusts, are targets
of abuse.
In his earlier appearance be-
fore the Committee, Mr.. PaieWon-
sky made complete disclosure
of his commercial interest in the

Proposals to cut the case

Juvenile Court judges and a
House proposal to make the

Senator Hartke's referee plan
is seen as a possible compro-

Seats on recently acquired

were designed to give the pas

they reclined more and have
higher backs.
This, he said, means they
tend to overlap and leave less

For Dinner

I ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 4 CAP) -
Gov. Tawes said yesterday he
does not approve of attempts to
sell tickets to testimonial din
ner for him because of his back
ing of savings and loan regula-
tory legislation.
/ Gov. Tawes was asked for
comment on, published reports
that tickets to the Sl00-a plate
dinner are being promoted
among savings and loan Of
! ficials on the grounds that the
Governor strongly backed legis-
lation to regulate the industry.
Gov. Tawes said:
II have had no part whatso-
ever in the sale of tickets for
the testimonial dinner. But
since it is a testimonial dinner
for me, I would not approve of
any attempt to sell tickets on
the basis of my actions as Gov
ernor-for the savings and loan
bill or anything else"
William C. Rogers, president
of the Security Title Guaranty
Corp. of Baltimore, said a let
ter had been mailed to savings
and loan company officials
urging them to buy tickets for
the September Il affair in
Baltimore.
Mr.. Rogers said the industry
officials should give credit to
Gov. Tawes for his part in the
passage of the regulatory bill.
Mr.. Rogers, a member of the
commission which drafted the
savings and loan bill, stated in
his letter:
my first approach in serv-
ing on this committee is to
call on you to be good enough
to take table. If not a table,
several tickets at 500 each so
that we may be assured of a
fine turnout
Many of us disagreed as to
the effectiveness of a savings
and loan bill signed by the
Governor. However, it now
appears that it is possibly the
best bill that could have been
passed by the recent Assembly
and we must give credit to the
Governor for the work he did
in getting the bill through"
