ington. Since the Boyce-Jones recommendation have
proved of the highest usefulness in preparing the legis-
Ilation, / think it will be of real value if the members of
the legislature will study the report, so that the discus
sion OF the legislation may be as informed and thorough
as possible.
May I-say that we were fortunate indeed to have
the volunteered services Of two such eminent men, one
a professional educator of the highest standing, the other.
a leader of skill and experience in the field of the rapid
development of communities. Their enthusiasm for the
College is clear in the report, and may add that they
have become great boosters OF the Virgin Islands since
they have come to know our territory and our citizens.
In DR.. Jones and Mr.. Boyce our people have two real
and valuable friends.
You will find the report as interesting and exciting
as did, | am sure. You will also be as sobered as ]
was, | believe, by the solid presentation of just what
this effort involves. The authors have not pulled any
punches! We are now leaving the domain OF mere talk
with this report, and coming to grips with the facts.
think the report is self-explanatory, so will pass
it on to you with only a few brief comments. Upon my
return, l count on a thorough exploration Of this crucial
project by both the legislature and the executive branch,
working together, leading to legislation which will start
the College on the road to swift realization.
My first comment will be not on the College, but
on our primary and secondary schools. You will re-
member that a year ago, when the College was merely
an idealto be discussed and not the concrete project it
now has become, many critics of the idea insisted that
our lower schools needed drastic improvement before
any notion OF a college should be entertained. / fully
agreed with the first part of their argument; l just didn't
believe we ought to stand still on the college while inn
proving the lower schools. With the BoyceJones re-
port in hand, | am sure you will agree that it was wise
to get moving On the college at once. It is a long hard
road to the establishment of a college; and if we had
waited until our lower schools were fully up to the mark,
we might never have started at all. For when is per-
lection reached in a school system? The drastic pro-
gram for improving our lower schools is now quickly
gathering steam, under the dynamic leadership of DR.,
Sanchez. By next September we expect that forty-seven
new teachers will come into our schools, thus bringing
the pupil-teacher ratioin into line at last. This is not mere
ly a question of pumping in new blood. Even more i'm
portant, it will give our present teaching staff a decent
chance, at long last, to do their work properly.
DR.. Sanchez has reported to me that, in his iudg-
ment, we have in our present school system a very good

Villa Is Scene
Of Gay Party

RAVELLO, Italy, Aug. IL
(AP). - Champagne corks
popped last night in the villa
where Mrs. Jacqueline Ken
nedy is mentioning in this
village on the Amalfi coast
cliffs south of Naples.
The reason was a birthday
party in honor Of the pretty
blond wife of Robin Douglas
Home. nephew of British
Foreign Minister Lord Home.
Mr.. Home and his wife are
guests at the vacation villa
rented by Mrs. Kennedy's
sister, Princess Lee Radziwill.
Mrs. Kennedy took part in
the party, which lasted well
after midnight. Mr.. Home
played the piano while his
wife cut a huge chocolate
cake.
At. am. the party guests
watched from the windows
a fireworks display on the
other side Of the valley. The
fireworks were in honor of
Saint Laurence, patron saint
of the nearby village of Scala.
Meanwhile police frightened

wrangling that probably will
dump the matter at the door,
step Of the White House.
The week began with a re-
quest by five operating unions,
representing 10000 trainmen
affected by the railroad pro-
posals. for a permanent injunc-
ton barring the work rules re-
vision.
United States District Court
Judge Joseph Sam Perry re-
fused the injunction, but yes
terday granted a temporary re-
straining order against the re-
vision until the unions could
appeal his decision.
It is this restraining order
that the railroads will seek to
have vacated Monday.
No one involved in the COM
plicated negotiations expects
the railroads to be able to pro-
coed with their cutbacks even
if the appeals court vacates the
restraining order.
The five unions have served
notice that they will strike first,
a possibility that union and
management leaders fully ex-
pect to result in White House
action.
Says ]. E. Wolfe Of Chicago,
chief spokesman for the rail-
roads:
1--WE hope that because of
the existing situation we can
get the Appeals Court to vacate
the restraining order to prevent
any delay in bringing the mat
ter to a conclusion.
IF it is vacated, we are con-
WINGED that President Kennedy
will create an emergency
board"
Mr.. Wolfe was referring to
a procedure under the Railway
Labor Act whereby the Presi-
dent can set up a panel to
investigate the dispute and pre-
scribe a formula that presum-
ably would help expedite a
settlement.
Appointing an emergency
board by the President would
automatically freeze the situa-
ton and prevent any strike for
so days while the board made
its Investigations and prepared
a report.

Woman Slayer Granted
St. EIizobeths Release

A woman, whose appeal from
a second degree murder convic-
ton led to her commital to st.
Elizabeths Hospital, has been
granted a conditional release
from the institution.
Mrs. Helen Frigillana, Al,
was charged with first degree
murder in 1852 in the fatal
shooting of the wife of a man
who had rented a room in her
apartment.
The trial was delayed more
than eight years because Mrs.
Frigillana was mentally in
competent. In 1861, she recov-
cred and was convicted by a
jury Of second degree murder.
Judge Joseph R. jackson,
who later said he was shocked
that she was convicted, gave
her a minimum 2-to-20-year
sentence and set a low $4,000
appeal bond.
The bond was posted the
same day she was sentenced
and Mrs. Frigillana went to
New Orleans, where her family
lived, to await the outcome OF
an appeal Of her case.
Adjudged Not Guilty
Last June 10, the United
States Court of Appeals ruled
she would have been adjudged
not guilty because of insanity
and sent the case back to Dis
trict Court.
Judge jackson granted a mo-
ton for a finding of not guilty
because Of insanity on July %
and sent Mrs. Frigillana to St

Districts mandatory commit
ment law.
The judge recommended that
she be considered for ilnmedi-
