GOV. PAIEWONSKYS INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Another matter that has receiv-
ed considerable attention recently
in the Senate of the United States
is the Virgin Islands Corporation.
The continuing puzzle of what to
do about the Virgin Islands Cor
poration must be solved. During
recent weeks, there has been re-
curing criticism of the operations
of the Corporation, and demands
in many quarters for its liquida-
ton. / hold no brief for VICORP
as such, but there are many es-
sential functions entrusted to this
Government corporation which
must be continued. IF there is to
be a liquidation, then it must be
effected on an orderly, we'll
planned basis which will not cause
distress to our citizens.
I hope that it will not prove
necessary to end the Corporations
life, for it is my belief that strong
administration can cut the fnan-
cial losses which have brought
criticism in Congressional quar-
tiers. Frankly, I do not think that
there is anything wrong with the
Virgin Islands Corporation that. a
good strong, on the scene manage
ment cannot cure / have pledged
myself to take a close look into
the affairs of this Corporation and
see whether it can, by proper
planning, be turned into a money
maker, rather than a drainson the
United States Treasury.
There are a number of other vi
tai problems to be solved and to
which immediate special attention
will be given. Among these are:
An adequate supply of pot
able water for st. Thomas,
st. Croix, and st. John This
will be given top priority.
2. Airport development to meet
the needs of the Jet Age for
both st. Croix and st. Tho
mas. ST. Croix can have a jet
airport in a matter of months
and for a relatively small in
vestment. The problem, in
st. Thomas is a different one,
but l am convinced that this,
too, can be solved,
8. Stun clearance and better
housing for the lower and
middle income groups will
receive immediate attention.
4. Harbor improvements in st.
Thomas and in st. Croix will
be carried forward. The St
Thomas Harbor needs to be
deepened to permit the large
cruise ships to come along

Kimble displayed quite a
knack for running the Southern
University team during the
fourth quarter, as he took over,
completing five of six passes for
79-yards, and scoring a touch
down on a one yard plunge mid
way the final period.
Quarterback Carroll Holman
had turned in a top effort for
the first half before Kimble took
over.
Grambling overcame South
ern's 80 lead, when Stone John
son put his toe into play to
notch a 39-yard field goal to tie
the score 3-3. The stalemate
held through the halftime inter-
mission.
Grambling broke the ice first
during the second half when
halfback MCGOWAN scampered "a
yards for a touchdown, the long
est run from scrimmage of the
afternoon.
Stone Johnson had his at
tempt at the conversion blocked
by Jaguar end Donnie Davis,
and the Tigers led by 9-3.
Doggedly in the 9O-degree
heat of Grambling stadium, the
Jaguars battled back, then the
break came which set up Sou
thern's first touchdown of the
game to send the National
Champions out front In the scor-
ing to stay.
Southern's big win over Gram
bling was the first of the sea-
son after the Jaguars had lost
two straight ball games-The
final game of the 1860 season to
Prairie View, and the first game
of the 1861 season to Texas Sou
thern by 14-6 last Saturday,.
Grambling had an eight game
winning streak stopped by the
loss to the Jaguars, and sent the
Tigers tumbling for the first
game time this season after
$50 win over Texas College last
week.

Edgar Chico"
Jordan JSC
Gridster Man
To Watch

Edgar "Chico" Jordan's 1O3-
yard kickoff return against the
Prairie View Ann Panthers
Saturday established him as the
man to beat this year in this
category. The free-wheeling,
175-pound former Oak Park
High School star reeled off his
record-breaking sprint midways
the first period after the Pan
theirs had gone ahead TO after
recovering a Tiger tumble on the
Tigers one-yard line. The re-
turn, longest ever made at
Blackshear Field, home of the
Panthers, completely frustrated
the Texans and tied the score at
TT when Jordan, adding insult
to injury, booted the extra point.
The versatile Jackson State
College sophomore took the ball
three yards deep in the end zone,
got key block out of Roy Cur
ry, hit the sideline, and scurried
untouched for the Tigers first
tally.

"Let nothing cause you to dis

President Jacob L. Reddix as he
welcomed new students to Jack

Reddix urged the students to
work at the job of getting an
education" Concerning the
changes that usually result when
a person gets an education, he
said: "a truly educated man is
a changed man. He cannot have
it and remain the same. Among
the marks of an educated man
are the following: u He is more
courteous, q He knows the fine
art of getting along with peo-
pie, 81 He knows how to say
Good morning gracefully. AL
though people may have differ
ent cultural backgrounds, this is
an important part of a persons
training regardless of his cul-
ture."
Also on hand to greet the 1861

Itta Bena, Miss. = The pow

about had their own way, last
Saturday as the ran roughshod
over Mississippi Vocational 39-
O. The scoring began early in
the first quarter when Roy
Curry, Tiger quarterback, pas
sed to Willie Richardson and
covered 33 yards. Percy Butler,
halfback, kicked the extra point.
1t was this same passing COM
bination which set the second
tally and saw Leslie Duncan,
halfback, skirting his right end
for nine yards and a second
score. Richardson kicked the
extra point.
In the third quarter, Curry
went four yeards on a keeper
for the third score. The extra
point try by Richardson failed.
Later, before the half, Curry
hit Richardson with a touch
down pass which carried 38
yards to score. When Buffers
kick was then good, the Tig-
ers led 27-0 at the midway
mark.
A pass interception by Louis
McRae, Tiger fullback, set the
stage for the fifth score early
in the 3rd quarter. Later, Ralph
Burns, Tiger substitute quarter
back, passed to McRae for the
score which covered 55 yards.
The point after attempt failed.

Nashville, Tenn, Mar. 13.-The
following is an article by DR..
Caesar Clark, Editor of the Ma
tional Baptist Convention in an
swer to questions growing out of
the current controversy regarding
the presidency of the National
Baptist Convention, USA, Inc.
Says DR.. Clark: In the February
issue of the Pittsburgh Courier
there appeared an article under
the above caption. I A pauper can
insist that he is a millionaire
but that hardly makes him so! l
could insist that I am president
of the United States-But how
far would that get me?' Be it
known unto all men-There is at
present one legally constituted,
chartered, functioning, National
Baptist Convention, U. S. A., Inc.
And Doctor Joseph Harrison Jack
son is the President! DR.. Jackson
is not as the article claims the
alleged President of one body"

vention. DR.. Gardner c. Taylor

does not speak for the National
Baptist Convention, U. S. A., Inc.
DR.. Taylor is head of the National
Taylor Team" which is an organ
lied, independent, functioning
body which is something quite
other than and apart from the Ma
tiOnal Baptist Convention!
The meeting held in Atlanta
was reported to have brought to-
gether "some 200 or 300 minis
ters." Was it 200? Was it 300?
Which Say it was 300. What's
happening to the "team?" The
team" held a meeting in Novem-
Der and reported an attendance
of 800. Are we to understand
that from November to January
the "team" lost 500 of it's follow
ers?
Regardless of what may be said
or thought or done-a mock cleo
tion in a trump" assembly can
never make man President of
the National Baptist Convention.
Regarding the suits: Injunctions
were gotten out both by the Con-
vention and the team. The Con-
vention sued to get order so as to
be able to carry on its business.

Faced with the information that
the states forest lands are produc-

the group formed the new associa-

Forests and forest industries are
