Police Department
S~upervises Removed
Of Bee Hive Over ST.

A bee hive that hung precari-
ously over Strand Street, near
Smith Street in Christiansted for
over two years, was removed I'M
der the personal direction of As
sistant Commissioner of Public
Safety, Clifford Plaskett, less than
two weeks after it was drawn to
his attention.
The hive which hung from the
limb of a mahogany tree, was
built up by bees to a length of
about three feet. Every once in a
while a bee would dive down and
sting a passing child, in one in
stance two attacked,
The matter vas reported to the
Department Of Sanitation which
was willing but unable to do any
thing; finally the matter was
brought to the attention Of As
sistant Commissioner Plaskett who
promptly investigated, saw the
danger to the nearby residents and
sought the aid of Deputy Commits
sioner Alfonso Paraliticci Of the
Public Works Department.
The services of Montgomery ST.
mon, an expert on bees was con-
tracted for. At 8 am. Tuesday,
about six officers under Lieuten-
ant Hoyer took up positions in
the area; the Fire Department put
up a ladder; the branch wa ex-
pertly cut and the hive let down.
The angry bees were soon brought
under control, thus permanently
removing the danger to nearby
residents and passersby.

Improvement has been made and
the following innovations were
cited:
The garbage and trash service in
Charlotte Amalie when compared
proportionately is more frequent
than in many other American Cit

Improvement.
The Sanitation Department this
year is moving four times as much
garbage out of the islands as last
year.
The new dumpster and packer
trucks have proved more efficient
and similar additional equipment
has been ordered.

'Mr. Marshall is eminently

unusual scrutiny of Mar

nature.
These sources predicted that
Marshall, who began work on
the U. S. Court of Appeals for
the Second Circuit last Oct.
%, would be confirmed even

War Vets Still
Have Chance for
Education

Projections prepared by the
Veterans Administration in
dicate that there are 10000
to 100000 Korean Conflict
veterans still eligible to take
advantage of the educational
provisions of the Korean CT
Bill. However, they have
only about tyo and a half
years in which to complete
their training or education.
The l a w provides that
all education and training of
non-disabled Korean veterans
will end by January 81, 1865.
Since the Korean CT Bill
program started, more than
2,372,000 Korean Conflict vet
Grams have either gone to col
lege or taken below-college-
level training or on the job
or on the farm courses. There
are about 100000 Korean vet
Grams still in training under
these programs now. How
ever, surveys of those eligible
and interested have indicated
that as many as 200, 900 addi-
tional veterans may enter the
program before it comes to
an end. VA officials said that
those planning to enter class
rooms shouts not delay. Those
already in class will have to
accelerate their courses if
they hope to finish their
studies before the close of the
program.

"HIGGS LEADING FIGHT
TO GUST JAMIE WHITTEN"
This week in Mississippi
a movement was underway to
remove Rep. Jamie Whitten
from Congress by means of
Negro petitions and the use of
an almost forgotten section of
the u. S. Constitution
William L. Higgs, white
lawyer from Jackson who is
pushing the plan, admits it's a
long shot, but said he hoped
to get some strong support.
AS legal advisor to the Rev.
Merrill w. Lindsey, Negro
minister of Holly Springs,
Miss, who lost in the June
5 congressional primary as a
candidate in the End Congress
sional District. Higgs esti-
mates that there are 100000
Negroes of voting age in the
Delta and north central Mis-
sissippi hill country who are
not registered to vote. Peti-
tions are being circulated a.
mong them, he said, with the
signers stating that they would
have voted for Lindsey if they
had voted. Higgs hopes to
get $4,000 signatures then
present them to President
Kennedy as testimony to
what's going on" The plan
is aimed at having the Sec
ond section of the 14th amend
ment to the Constitution put
to use the section that
says, There shall be a reduc-
tion in the congressional rep
resentation of any state which
denies the ballot to anyone on
the basis of race.
