Customs Collections
In v. |. Howe Tripled
Governor Says

u. S. Customs collections in the
Virgin Islands-Which in turn are
paid back to the Virgin Islands
have scared to an all time high,
Governor Ralph Paiewonsky has
announced.
Accepting a check Friday for
$3.50, 900 from Mrs. Raymond Jones
Collector for the U. S. Treasury
in st. Thomas, the Governor said
this amount for one month was
nearly three times the total of the
entire year 10 years ago.
In Fiscal '52-'53, total collections
were only $53. 400.
The Governor also pointed out
in the last IL months the Virgin
Islands has received a grand total
of $780, 900 from Customs.
This is also an all time record.
The collections represent monies
from Customs dues, duties and
wharfage. The June payment was
$50, 900 over the month of May
and January and $4,000 more
than March of this year. Even
more striking was the fact that
the June payment was five times
greater than the July, 1861 pay
ment of $4,000.
The Governor hailed the rapidly
rising Customs collection as a sign
of a vastly strengthened island
economy, rejecting growth and

ST. Thomus Democrats
Gust Vic President
After One Week

Norman Chelquist, who was
elected vice president of the st.
Thomas Democratic Party only a
week ago, was voted out at an
emergency meeting last Thursday
July 18th. He held the Office less
than one week.
Mr.. Chelquist is said to have is
sued a statement without author
ization, in the Clubs name, that it
had always been my purpose and
intent, and it shall continue to be
so, to endeavor to amicably merge
these two groups (the Democratic
and Unity Parties) thus making
the Democratic Party truly the
peoples party"
The President, Leslie Moorhead,
said that Mr.. Chelquist was re-
moved after the members of the
Club said that he was not the
sort of person we want" for the
Office. He remains a member of
the Club, but had no comment.

port the stand on reapportionment
taken by National Committeeman
Ron de Lugo, State Chairman Jo-
seph Alexander and National Com
mitteewoman Lucinda Millin, that
re-apportionment should not be-
come effective before 1854.

PoolesviIIe Annexation

Poolesvlle voters in a town referendum on Oct 6
will approve disapprove bold plan being pushed by two
land developers have the town 1895 to per-
nit development of community OF to 600 persons
We hope they disapprove the plan
The proposal is designed obviously to crcumvent the
MarylandNational Capital Park and Planning Commission
and the Montgomery County Council who are jointly
charged with guiding the county's growth.
Backers of the plan went before the Planning Com
mission twice last year sound both the planning staff
members and the commission itself They were told the
proposal did not fit into present future plans for the
area involved
Faced with that initial setback, the developers then
proceeded to win approval through the back door to
speak, by pushing the Pooesve annexation pan knowing
that Pooesvle still-by aw-exercise the planning
and coming function if it chooses.
If the referendum carries the town of Pooesve will
hold full sway planning and land functions of the
to be annexed And massive existing governmental
machinery consisting of who have devoted lifetime
to studying the complex issues of orderly land and
planning will be baked
And if PoolesviIe which has population of $50 per-
sons, approves the proposal what is to prevent similar
situations from developing in other small owns-Barnes
vile, Washington Grove, and Laytonsve that possess
similar powers?
BY remaining silent and only grumbling about the
development the agencies that deeply concerned
performing sserice to both Pooesve and county vot-
The County Council and the M-NCPPC and the Wash
ngton Suburban Sanitary Commission should speak up
before the Oct referendum tell their stories to the
Pooesville voters.
The plan that being proposed by Bernard N Siege
and Charles H. Jamson may be good Or it may be
bad one We don't know And submit that the voters of
Pooesville probably don't know either.
is good plan it surely will be so recognized by
the duly constituted planning and coming agencies of the
county and, perhaps ultimately approved
Moreover the M-NCPPC will soon release its general
plan for the county, This plan needs deserves the ser
GUS study of all county residents including Pooesve resi-
dents and Messrs Siege and Jamison To approve
coming proposal of the magnitude of the Specialization
plan would be premature
We believe Poolesvle voters should vote mo" on Oct
both in their interests and the interests of Mongo

criminal case.

Gently read the transcript Of
the trial at which the Giles
brothers were condemned to
death for rape-a case report
ed clearly and faithfully by the
Montgomery Co. Sentinel and
ably summarized by the Wash

three of us agreed that, had
we been members of the jury,
none of us could in conscience
have rendered any verdict on
the basis of the evidence pre-
sented. For example:
The charge, you will recall,
was brought against the broth

the incident) by a 16-year-old
girl with some corroborative
evidence from her date-of-the-

From This Angle
Jesse James. La+in-S+yIe

In 1866 Jesse James formed a band Of
outlaws and for over Is years robbed banks
and trains Jesse was so successful in this
field that Missouri at one time offered re-
ward Of $4,000 for him, dead or alive. Jesse
was hard to catch for he received help from
lawabiding citizens. They hid him. fed him,
provided him with horses, and covered his
trail
When the authorities told the citizens
that Jesse and his gang were just a
bunch of bandits it made no difference
Because of divided lOyaIties and extreme
factiOnalism Of the time and through fear
or sympathy, the people continued to help
Jesse. He even had the reputation, not
really deserved, of taking from the rich
and giving to the poor.
Today another Jesse James rides. but
this Jesse is an international rider and he
sits astride an island named Cuba. This
modern jesse whose real name is Castro,
had good intentions, or so it seemed to some,
because he threw out tyranny to rise to
his present position of power. Castro built
schools divided up land among peasants,
and performed other apparently good deeds,
but with the cutting off of American sup.
plies and markets, the Cuban economy fall
tered.
Castro has replaced a dictatorship of the
right with dictatorship of the Communist
left. Unfortunately, people who have spent
most Of their lives under dictators cannot
readily distinguish between the lack of free
dom under Batista and that under Castro =
there probably isn't much difference. These
people do not understand that Communist
dictatorship is part OF, a worldwide system
that has worldwide system of support and
in many cases, control
Like the appeal of Jesse James to some
OF his fellow citizens, Castro has appeal not
only to Cubans, but also to some elements

There's An Obligation. Too!

Millions of words are being written this week-pro-
claimed by the President and Cities towns counties and
villages throughout the land Constitution Wee-as
reminder to citizens that the United States Constitution
was adopted It's years ago.
The document does, indeed contain the seeds which
grew srdiy over the years into form of government
doubtedy the best devised by And the citizens
OF this country should indeed pause for moment in their
busy rounds and reflect the tremendous influence the
Constitution has had-and will continue to have-on hui
man advancement.
The words we like best, however in connection with
such an observance those which remind that United
States citizenship carries with it not only inaienable
rights but also responsibilities
In time when assaults being made on demo-
crac government to increasing degree throughout the
world all citizens should be deeply concerned with the re-
SponslDlles inherent in being United States citizen
The way all of best fulfill this responsibility is
through our votes Montgomery County is now heading

He Disopproves

When l received today's
copy of your usually excellent
paper, 1 was appalled, to see
at the top of the front page
the headline: win Prizes! Do
Your Civic Duty! Register to
Vote NOW~
1t has come to a pretty hor-
rible state of affairs if people
must be bribed with gifts and
prizes to do their civic duty,
to live up to their RESPONSE
bilities as citizens of a free,
democratic republic.
We all know that not enough
people register and vote, but
l don't think your approach to
this program is very good. In
my opinion, If reminders and
appeals to peoples sense of
obligation as citizens are no
avail, we have really some
thing to worry about.
But bribery and ceremonial
prizes are not the answer! In
fact, I would be seriously con-
cerned about the ability to vote
tntelligently of people who can
only be persuaded to register
and vote by such prizes.
Paul S. Lederer
Editors N o { e: Agreed!
Things have come to "a pref
ty horrible state" when $4,000
county residents who are eligi.
bic to vote won't go to the
trouble of registering. Also
agreed: I'VE really have some
thing to worry about" If our
efforts are misguided, we're
sorry. But everything else
has been tried and - as far
as $4,000 people are concern
ed - hasn't worked. Maybe
this will help some. The i'm.
pOrtant thing, it seems to us,
is to get 'em registered.)
