The British Embassy has
acquired a beauty as its
chatelaine.
Lady Ormsby-Gore has
. lustrous dark brown hair,
hazel eyes with violet shad-
. ows above them and that
= lovely translucent complexion
for which the isles she comes
from are so famous. Hence
no picture can really do her
h. justice.
Nor can the term beauty"
This aDsurdly young look
. ing mother of five offspring,
ranging from 7 to 81. has
such a ma tura fresh
ness and sympathetic man
ner that she is at once easy
to approach and delightful
to talk to.
She has a soft voice, a
ready smile. an interested
ear and an enthusiastic re-
sponse. She has presided over
her first ambaSsadorial resi-
dence for a mere 10 days but
has already merited such ac-
colades from her co-workerS
as completely cooperative"
and very understanding"
Wearing a tailored navy
blue wool suit. the coat
thrown over her shoulders
contrasting attractively with
the pale pink Of her feminine
blouse, she poured tea in the
embasSy's informal sitting
room yesterday afternoon.
An embassy footman in blue
livery, one of the IA inside
domestic staff, brought in
thin slices of buttered bread,
brown and white, and a plate
of cookies. AS she slipped her
tea she replied with modesty
and ease to a barrage OF
questions.

homes built by s~ublessees, would be tax upon property
Belonging to the United States and no state or territory has
he legal right to levy such a tax.
AT the time the lease was drawn, in ordert to make it
lclear that otaxes were to be levied upon the property or
Water Island, the United States inserted Section 5 (c1
which reads as follows: The Lessee and its sublessees
shall notbe liable for any taxes or assessments levied upon
the denised premises or the improvements thereon
This exemption from taxes was one Of the principal
inducements offered to Water Island, Inc. to build a hotel
and to prospective home seekers to build houses on Water
Island.
AT the time the lease was made Water Island was in a
state Of desolation and the buildings and improvements
were deteriorating rapidly. The United States Govern
|ment was interested in having the Island developed and
made this deal whereby a hotel would be built and private
homes would be constructed. The United States inserted
the clause in the lease guaranteeing that the property
would renan-tax free. Any attempt to levy taxes on this
property is trying to 60 against the guarantee OF the Unit
ed States.
From a practical standpoint, the leasing Of Water IS
land has been of great benefit to the economy of the Virgin
Islands. An attractive hotel has been putt into operation
which has attracted several thousand tourists to this area.
number of homes have been and will be built, which are
part of the cottage type hotel and are available for rental
when the owners are not in residence. These operations
have provided employment for many workers and addi-
tional business for every segment of the business commu-
nifty.
The United States Government made it clear that per
sons living on Water Island and the hotel located here
could not expect many of the services which are provided
in ST. Thomas. For example, we maintain our own roads,
repair our own docks, provide our own sewer system,
water system, and handle our own garbage collection, fire
protection, mosquito and sand fly control. Also, the Fed
eral Government pays to the Department Of Education
many thousands Of dollars covering contributions to the
schooling Of children living on Water Island or who work
on Water Island or whose parents live here or work here.
The cost Of these probably far exceeds any real estate
taxes which would normally be levied on property on
Water Island.
Webelieve it highly important not only that no tax be
passed but that any question as to the t~axabiity Of pro-
perty on Water Island should be settled. Since it is evident
that the Attorney General was not aware Of the provisions
Inc. we suggest the matter be referred back to him for fur
Their study.

We wish to thank the Legislature for making avail
able a copy Of the letter Of May 24th from Governor Mer-

Apparently the Governor and the Attorney General
were not aware that such a proposal is directly contrary to

Dear Mr.. President:

It is hereby respectfully brought to the attention OF
the members Of the Legislature of the Virgin Islands that
the Franchise granted to the Manassah Bus Line, Inc,
will expire on June 4, 1861. In ordert to continue safe and
efficient bus service to the people Of St. Thomas, it is ne
cessary to acknowledgment about a year ahead for the
purchasing Of new buses. .
We have tried our best during the. past ten years to
render safe, prompt and efficient service to the public. We
have had, recently, the added responsibility Of transport
ing school children daily to and from the public schools in
the rural areas. We have conducted this service in a safe
manner, to- the satisfaction Of all concerned.
In view of the fact that we are now planning for the
purchase Of buses to arrive in 1861, it necessary that
we be assured Of a new Franchise. Accordingly, it is re-
s~pectfully requested that the Legislature of the Virgin Is
lands authorize the granting Of another Franchise to the
Manassah Bus Line, Inc. for a period Of not less than 10
wears from June i, 1861.

Backing for u. N.

The United States has backed
the U. N. operations generally
but has decried the use of vio-
lence. Ambassador Adlai E. Ste
venson suggested last week that
a small but effective air force"
be given Leopoldville to help ex-
pei the Katanga mercenaries. He
added, though, that Katanga was
only one aspect of the problem.
He asked for action also against
the Gizenga forces.
The Soviet Union supported
the Gizenga regime, and called
this an attempt to becloud the
issue.
Whatever the U. N. decides will
have important repercusSions
within and beyond the Congo
borders. An about attack on
Katanga could unite the country,
but it could also lead to pro-
longed instability. 1t could also
ALLEVIATE many Western nations
whose support the U. N. vitality
needs.
Hesitation, however, could re-
duce the U. Ms stature through
out the underdeveloped areas of
the world, and bring a resur-
gence of Soviet influence in
Africa. 1t could also cause a full
scale civil war and undesirable
big power intervention.
With the Berlin situation al
ready aggravated by developments
in Southeast Asia, the Western

precedent for underdeveloped
areas Of the world.
Last February, the U. N. passed
a strong resolution authorizing
the Congo command to use force
II necessary to prevent q civil
war and to expel foreign mer-
cenaries.
In September, the q. N. at
tempted to head off a threatened
invasion Of Katanga by forcing
Katanga to rejoin the Congo. The
action failed, however.
Many Western nations criti-
cized the U. N. offensive, stating
that the U. MS function is to
prevent bloodshed, not to insti-
gate it.
The African nations, however,
continue to press for an about
offensive by U. N. forces, and
they have not reduced their de-
mands in the light of the recent
disorders elsewhere in the
Congo.

Guerrilla Tactics

American experts agree that If
the South Wet Nam army adopts
the necessary guerrilla tactics,
and is given such equipment as
helicopters and light submachine
guns, it will be in a better posi-
ton to attack the enemy.
American airplanes, primarily
for reconnaissance and training
missions, have been sent in re-
cent weeks to bolster the thin
South Wet Nam air force. It is
expected that helicopters will
bolster the guerilla force.
At his press conference, Friday,
Secretary of State Rusk reaf-
firmed the United States major
and serious concern" with de-
velopments in that country. Mr..
RuSk indicated that he hoped the
up-to-now ineffective Interna-
tional Control Commission (set UP
after the 1854 Geneva talks)
would be strengthened, and be-
gin a serious investigation of the
Communist violations of the &C.
neva agreement.

On the Wall

One issue regards the Wall. In
Bonn, Mr.. Adenauer said that be-
fore any negotiations are held, the
Wall must come down in Berlin.
The United States takes a more
flexible attitude and probably
would only insist on the Wallis
being removed if the Russians
pressed for a new arrangement
in Berlin, such as an interna-
tionally controlled free city.
At the heart of the problem,
however, is the question of East
Germany's sovereignty" If the
United States, Great Britain and
France agree to recognizing East
Germany's legitimacy, it will for
ever raise cries in West Germany
Of "sell-out" by it's allies.
s. Most likely, some sort of COM
promise may be in order, involving
Western pledges of support for a
united Germany, with temporary
de facto recognition of the Com
muniSt regime.
The Russians, for the most part,
remained silent last week about
Berlin. They directed their dip
lomatic guns again to the north
at Finland, demanding immediate
defense consultations, due to rising
West German militarism" in the
Baltic.
This is thinly disguised attack
on Norway and Denmark, both
NATO members, as well as an
apparent prelude to a demand
for bases on Finnish soil.
