should not be amended to c~ontrolit it.
Mr.. REESE: Mr.. Chairman.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Reese.

MR.. REESE: We'haVe an organization here-a club
without discrimination on the basis Of color or any
thing else. The name is Tau Club Tau Beta Alpha Fra
ternity). Tt has been in existence from way back in 1912,
ass remember. Most of us went into the service and
came back and agreed to operate a club. And we found
out that after having our club house that wa built by
the members and SO forth-everybody heard about Tau
and wanted to come into this building. Well, it is true
that in order to maintain the service and replenish the
drinks and food, we charged a reasonable fee; not like
selling in town making a profit. Many OF the Senators
have been there and know what Pm talking about. And
then we found out that a lot OF people from town were
were coming down, getting service and not being mem
bers. And we found that if we were given a license to
dispense liquor to the public and collected a fee or
charge, we would have to open our doors to the public.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, we had attorney Francisco Cor
metro, Woh is also a member OF the club, check the law
and he advised us that that is correct. But you will find
that if you make a complaint to the Police department
Department of Public Safety about any Beachcomber
Beach or Sapphire Beach, for collecting a charge, max
ing you do something that you have never done, they'll
tell you that it's a private beach and they have a license
and they never do anything about it.
THE PRESIDENT dnterrupting): The Police off
Gals don't know any better.
MR.. REESE: 1t might seem SO! But you can some
times find some of the highest officials out there. What's
good for the goose should be good for the gander.
SENATOR DE LUGO qnterrupting): T. believe that
the law is adequate, but believe it's not being enforced,
| think that these clubs that set themselves up as pri-
vate clubs once they get the liquor license, they can't
operate that way. And / think that it should be chal-
lenged, and if they are not going to operate according
to law their license should be revoked. And let them
show cause why their license should not be revoked.
And may say, too, Mr.. President, that | was amused
by a statement by Senator Moorehead regarding the
open door" in st. John, and 1.-THE fact that they petitioned
the immigration officials and they can't get anything
out Of immigration officials. Well, ! think that after the
hard time we got before the Congress and the hard time
they're always giving the Territorial Government and
the Legislature, perhaps we might find out here that
the Federal Government is not doing the job it is sup
posed to do, and give them a little poke back.
THU PRESIDENT: Is there any other member
wanting to speak under privileges of the floor?
MR.. DE LUGO:.I would suggest, Mr.. President,
that the statements made here today should be q part Of
the record.
T-HEPREsIDENT: Without objections, the remarks

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Continued from Monday
Chairman. An alien was working to a garage in town
and he got injured in an automobile accident. He was
laid up in the hospital for about six weeks, and on COM
ing out of the hospital he received a settlement Of over
$4,000 from his employer. And when he got the bill
for around $4,000 he said his employer was supposed
to pay the hospital bill. The employer decided that. in
the compensation he had included everything. Now,
that man has left the islands, receiving $4,000 from
his employer, and leaving our hospital with this large
debt.
We have to do as in other countries such as making
them put down a deposit before going into the hospital,
or making somebody responsible for them.
Well, Mr.. Chairman, what / have felt around town,
and what we have been talking about today, not only
on the alien problem, but also our own people with
whomfwe the members of the Legislature have sat down
to encourage in new business and industry. We nave
given them tax exemption for ten years in beach clubs,
cottages on the beaches and so forth, and they now have
started to erect barriers against the natives OF these Is
lands. To 60 into certain places you have to pay a dollar
entrance fee without receiving anything. Some who
don't want you to come in will tell you that if you,are
a guest of the hotel, you can use the facilities; even to
to get a drink or a sandwich. After some OF the natives
have challenged this policy by paying the dollar, they be
gin to tell you that in order to use the facilities you have
to become a member OF this beach facility or develop
ment. And the fee is $4,000. Now, Mr.. Chairman, Tor
me to pay 100000 to use a beach it will take me ten
years when compared with Brewers Beach or Lindberg
Beach. But those are things that are things that are hap
pening right under our noses on beaches and-other facil-
tiles in these islands that are receiving tax exemption.
We should be prepared to put teeth in the law to stop
this type of discrimination against us.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, the Legislature is in ses-
sion, and there's no better place to do it than here.
MR.. MOOREHEAD: Mr.. Chairman.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Moorhead.
MR.. MOORHEAD: Mr.. Chairman, | want to agree
with what you said about Waht the committee should
delve into when they go into this matter. But one OF
the things they should not overlook is the open door,
we have in ST. John.
an immigration officer over there?
Mr.. MOORHEAD (Answering): There is one, but
without authority. For a long time we have been trying
to get a regular officer and the immigration people gave
all sorts Of reasons why we couldn't have one. In the

ate candidates retained a mar
row spending margin over
Democratic candidates, CO re-
ported. COP. congressional
candidates reported spending
$2.5 million, while their Dem
ocratic counterparts reported
$2.3 million. Labor expendi-
lures on behalf of congression-
al candidates, however, may
have pushed spending for Dem
ocrats up to the Republican
totals. The spottinesS of re-
ports from local congressional
campaign groups made it diff
cult to make any real judg-
ments on the extent Of con-
gressional spending, said CO.
AS usual, Washington and its
suburbs were a source of SUBJ
Stantial. contributions for both
parties, with some local people
enriching both Democratic and
Republican treasures.
According to the CO liStings:
Floyd D. AkerS, businessman
and civic leader, gave $500 to
each party.
William c. Doherty, presi-
dent of the National Associa-
ton of Letter Carriers, gave

million from the previous high
in 1856, according to Congress
sional Quarterly. a Washing
ton news-research service.
The official reports fall far
short of the actual spending.
CO estimated the real figure
may be as high as SITS million.
"a good example of how full
information on campaign con-
tributions is lost under the
existing regulations" the news
service said. "is seen in the fact
that not one member of the
Kennedy family appears in the
long list of contributors of $500
or more AS the Kennedys
are very wealthy and had a
considerable interest in the
1860 campaign, it is incon-
ceivable that such contributions
were not made by members of
the family"
Some Funds Exempted
Existing regulations do not
require reports to Congress on
spending in primaries or in
cmpaigns for convention nom
inations. Also exempted from
the reporting requirements are
political committees that func-
tion in only one State.
So far as the official reports
are concerned, the gap between
the financial resources Of Re-
publicans and Democrats mar
rowed significantly in 1860.
Republican campaign COM
mittees' share of total reported
spending fell from So per cent
in 1852 and 1856 to 46 per cent
in 1860. At the same time, the
Democrats share rose from a
low of Is per cent in 1852 to
AZ per cent in 1860.
Reported spending by labor
committees - most of which
benefits Democratic candidates
accounted for almost 8 per
cent of the total in 1860.
Miscellaneous political groups
spent 8 per cent Of the total.
Democratic outlays in 1860
would have been far smaller if
the party had not incurred a
substantial campaign debt. The
Democrats reported actually
spending only SO million in bills
paid during 1860, leaving $3.S.
million in debts at the end of
the year.
Republicans paid all but
$750,000 of their reported total
1860 obligations of $12.2 million
by years end.

Hoffo Seeking Raise
In SoIory to $4,000

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, July 1
(AP).-James r. Hoffa was re-
ported today seeking to raise
his annual salary as president
of the Teamsters Union to
$4,000 and increase union
headquarters dues allotments
by more than $40 million a
year.
The salary increase would
make the head of the Nations
largest labor union also the
highest paid. Mr.. Hoffa now
gets $4,000, a sum matched by
Presidents David j. Mcdonald
Of the Steelworkers and
Thomas Kennedy of the Mine
Workers as well as retired
Transfers boss Dave Beck.
Mr.. Hoffa formally an
nounced, on the eve of a spe-
cial Teamsters Union conven-
ton, that the unions execu-
tive board wanted to double the
amount of member dues al
lotted to run Teamsters ma
tional headquarters in Wash
ingotn.
This would raise the per
capita dues allotment from 40
cents a month now to 80 cents.
It would mean over $14 million
a year to run the headquarters
instead of about 81 million now.
Mr.. Hoffa, however, re-
portedly persuaded fellow union
chiefs to raise the per capita
allotment still higher-to 81
monthly. This would raise the
annual yield to the national
union to around $18 million.
Average union membership is
is million, but it climbs sea-
sonally to IL million.
An increased per capita al
lotment of this size would
probably require local unions
Evening star., 1961-07-02

to raise monthly dues collection
amounts from individual union
members.
The special convention was
summoned to tlect Mr.. Hoffa
as head of the Nations biggest
labor union for a new five-year
term.
Getting himself reelected, a
matter regarded as a mere for
mality, is the final step neces-
sary for the 48-year-old former
Detroit grocery warehouSeman
to extricate himself from a legal
moraSs resulting from his chal-
lenged initial election here four
years ago as top Teamsters
boss.
Mr.. Hoffa, charged with rig
ring the earlier election, is try
ing to make sure nobody will
have a basis for challenging
this one. Accordingly. he has
arranged for full movie and
tape recordings of all conven-
ton proceedings next week.
The T e a m sterS president
greeted the more than 1000
incoming delegates from all
sections Of the Nation and Can
ada in a hospitality suite in the
plush Carlton Hotel.
A squad of Federal agents
was reported on hand to keep a
watchful eye for any possible
law violations. One of Mr..
Hoffa's aides, 300-pound Rob-
ert (Barney) Baker, was taken
in custody for return to Penn
sylvania for an alleged bail
bond violation.
The hospitality suite is being
paid for out of a $4,000 Hoffa
reelection fund raised from
$25 contributions from subor-
dinate union officials and
employees.
