LEGISLATIVE RECORD

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
We never got up here, under Privileges or issued any
statement saying that he as a member Of the Legislature
lWho had completely forgotten the peoples business was
not doing what the people elected him to do. We felt, Mr..
Chairman, that perhaps by reading a book OF that sort IT
may have been giving to him some insight into legislative
procedure so that when SO that when he
got back into the Chair some other time, ne might have
been able to use the valuable information he had picked
up.
Mr.. Chairman, naturally, Senator Anduze's state
ment was made for political purposes. But ! don't know
what effect he intends to get out OF it because 1t has been
NV experience-and the experience OF my colleagues-that
whenever we have been subjected to that type OF attack
the more votes we get. So, / would hope that he would
continue along those lines.
On the other hand, Mr.. Chairman, ! should like to
quote you by telling Senator Anduze this. That, perhaps,
If he would emulate some Of the things that we do here
for our constituents he might not be-as you Say-a passing
shadow in this Legislature.
DR. ANDUZE: Mr.. PRECEDENT, may / say a word
please.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Anduze:
DR.. ANDUZE: The President began his remarks by
refarring to the yeracity of statements made by me IN a
Release. But | am sure that if the Chairman were present,
during the First Regular Session OF the Second Legislature,
he would know the remarks that Senator Ottley have
made are NOT TRUE.
never once sulked here. AS a matter OF fact IN
fact. I'm not going to be put on the defensive.
Several things were done during that Regular Ses-
sion to humiliate me. This farce of a hearing with Or.
Cordero, for example, which left me just as cool and calm
as a cucumber, listening to the lies, but the Home Journal
came out saying how | was figeting.
Now, if I am going to be a passing shadow, at least, !
feel that as I pass one, there are things that have been
accomplishment the Second Legislature, as well as IN
this Legislature-of which / have had a hand and OF which
i am proud to have been a part. And, in passing | am sure
| will not be altogether forgotten.
Senator Ottley referred to doing things for his con-
stituents. I wonder what he thinks I've. done for mine.
So, getting back to the veracity OF statements, !
should ike to find out from the President whether he be-
lieves everything that Senator Ottley says.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I certainly have to believe
more Of what Senator Ottley says than what you have
said because in your release you told a brazen lie.

Senator Gomez said:

Senator Gomez said:
my Friends, through the efforts Of your
Unity Patty Senators, the sum of $250,O00 has
been passed for the dredging Of Saint Thomas
Harbor. You will remember that for many
years we have been begging Congress to pro-
vide federal money for this much-needed pro-
ject. Every year we have passed resolutions
begging Congress to pass the money. Delega-
tons to Washington personally pleaded with
congressman and Senator but all they receiv-
ed were light promises.
Now through your Unity Party Senators,
and Senators Hodge and Guadeloupe, one
quarter of a million dollars has been set aside
for this project"
five are going to talk about what is true and what is
not true, | would hardly say that that was true, Mr.. Pre-
sident.
Ihave here before me a copy Of the letter of tranernit-
al OF the bill which brought this about. It was sent ~
by one John David Merwin, Governor of the Virgin IS
lands. It is addressed to you, Mr.. President; and, it says:
Il am transmitting herewith a bill to amend Act
No. 430 Bill No. 944) Third Legislature, Regular Session,
1859, to transfer $780, 900 from the appropriation for con
of a pier at Frederiksted to a new appropriation
for harbor dredging and improvements at Saint Thomas
Harbor.
At the present moment, there is urgent need for
bringing a dredge to the Virgin Islands for the purpose
Of conducting dredging operations in the Harbor of Char
Amalie. This operation will prvide the added facil-
ity OF having a dredge assembled and available in st. Tho
as soon as the Harry S. Truman appropriations shall
been cleared"
And there is more to it, signed sincerely yours,
John D. MerWin." The bill Bill No. ga, introduced,
passed unanimously by the Legislature. 1t is not a Unity
Party Bill as my friend across the aisle, Senator. Gomez,
would have you believe. It was not introduced by the
Unity Party, in conjunction with Senate President Hodge
Senator Guadeloupe. It was the Governors bill. It
was voted upon by everybody.

FAMOUS FABLES

SURE-FIRE: Early in his
career. Will Rogers sailed for
Australia to play an engage
ment. On the voyage over,
he was laid low with sea-
sickness.
When the time came for
him to return to the States,
he dreaded to make the trip.
One Of his friends, a sea-
soned traveller. had q cure
fire method for conquering
seasickness. He told Rogers
to make sure he was asleep
when the boat sailed. When
he awoke, he would discover
that the ships motion did
not upset him.
Rogers boarded the ship
two hours before sailing time,
crawled into his bunk and
fell asleep. When he awoke,
he felt fine-for q moment.
Then he heard the creaking
Of the vessel and became i'll.
He dragged himself to the
door and opened it. The
steward was standing in the
corridor.
How far out to sea are
we?" groaned Rogers.

Opening lead: King of hearts.
West opens the king Of hearts
and leads the other heart to
East's ace. East can see from
dummy that the defenders can
defeat the contract only If they
can get two trump tricks.
The first step in East's cam
paign is to lead a third heart.
South must step up with the

Now South leads a club to

The defense now hinges on

he will play his low trump. If

See what happens If East
does play his low trump. South
wins with the king Of spades
and returns a trump, clanking
the ace and jack together.
South then claims the rest Of

The result is quite different
II East steps up with the ace
on the first round Of trumps.
East then leads another heart,
and Vests jack Of spades is

ruffs low, West over-ruffs, and
II South ruffs with the king,

eff you own stock in a corpora

be reported in your tax return.
Usually, dividends are paid in

or other property, they are taxable
at their fair market value.
"You must report those divi-
dends credited to your account as
well as those which you actually
receive.
"You also must report the divi-

in the name of your broker.
"Your distributable share Of
