Mr. DE UGO: Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator De Lugo.

4A4L - - 0SAN0 A@S @
Mr.. DE LUGO: Mr.. President, ! would just like to
remark briefly that I've never heard the statement-l
don't know where it came from-that the Public Hous-
ing Administration does not provide housing for large
establishments such as the Rockefellers at Cancel Bay.
think that it should be pointed out by the Legislature,
especially by the Senator from St. John, that there are
a lot of people living IN st. John that are not employees
of Cancel Bay. And perhaps they are in need Of housing.
But that was not my reason for asking for privileges Of
the floor.
MI. President, | would like to say something that
concerns me very deeply. | would like to call the Legisla+
lures attention to a bill that we passed and was approx
ed back in January 1860, and / would like to say this: I
am quite concerned about the committee that was set up.
Z spoke about it before, but would now like to back up
my feelings with Recommendation.
AS said, / felt that the composition Of the commit
tee that has been set up by the Administration to study
the Sandy Point situation leaves a lot to be desired. al
so say this: that there are distinguished men on the com
mittee, but my point was that there was only one person
from ST. Croix on the committee familiar with the area,
and that one Individual, although he is a personal friend
of mine, is certainly a very capable man, because voted
for him to continue as Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor (Mr. Louis Brown. However, he has gone on re
cord prior to today, publicly, and many many times, as
being opposed to Sandy Point acquisition. So, | believe
that he should have been disqualified onsthat point
alone, because you want people on that committee who
are going to be impartial and objective.
Tow, would like to point out that the BILL, the law
that has been approved-passed unanimously by the Lee
gislature-specifically says: The Governor is hereby au-
thorized through the Department of Property and Pro
curement to acquire by purchase, gift or condemnation,
an area not to exceed twenty acres Of land in the Two
Brothers, Sandy Point, area Of Frederiksted, St. Croix.
And then further on the bill says There is hereby created
a committee to be known as the Frederiksted Recreation
al Site Committee. The Committee shall consist Of the
Commissioner Of Property and Procurement as Chair
man. Nov, that, in this case would be Commissioner
Mario Lewis, who has been confirmed by this Legisla-
ture) He should have served as Chairman, and two residents
of Frederiksted, St. Croix, appointed by the Governor.
And the COMMITTEE shall select a site in the Two Broth
ers Sandy Point Area, that it shall determine to be most
appropriately suited for the purposes Of a public recrea-
tional area.
In other words, the law-its a law now-passed by
this Legislature and approved by the previous Governor,
confines the area under examination to c specific area
Two Borthers and Sandy Point. It spells out who shall

Sister M. Honora worked with
the early Franciscan missionaries,
Father Anselm. Father Marcellus.
Father Berard and others who have
died before her. The presence of so
many present day missionaries at
her funeral, at which His Excel

O.F.M. presided. was a proof OF the
esteem in which she was held.
Now Sister Nj. Honora has been
laid to rest in the country and
among the People she loved so much
and whom she will continue TO re-
member before the Throne of God.
She must have prayed especially
for the pail bearers. former Stu

LISBON, Portugal. May %
(AP). - About 1000 Portuguese
soldiers and sailors returned
home today from Goa. They
had been interned when India
Ioverran the Portuguese Indian
territories last December.
There was no special fam
fare or wecome for the army
men. who came aboard the liner
Vera Cruz from Karachi. They
were quickly moved off the de-
mobilization camps. Gen. David
dos Santos, deputy chief of the
army general staff, said all
woud be home with their fam
lilies within so hours.
About 300 officers and men
of the navy were given a warm
welcome. Their resistance from
a 35-year-old Portuguese sloop
won them praise at home and
Vice Admiral Quintanilha de
Mendonca, the Minister of Ma
rine. gave them a formal salute
as they marched ashore.
