In view of the widespread
interest in the Comptrol-
ler's reports, | would like
to take this opportunity to
inform the people Of the
Virgin Islands of the proce-
dure that is followed upon
the completion of our
audits. incidentally, audits
usually take weeks and
weeks and even months to
be Completed.
The initial step after the
feld-Work is completedis to
prepare a rough draft of
the audit report. After this
is done, copies are submit
ted for comments to the
Governor and to the De-
partment of the Interior.
We then make ourselves
available for conferences
with the head of the depart
ment and the Honorable
Morris de Castro, who acts
Gnoctly TO- the Governor.
The purpose of the confer
ence is to discuss with the
persons concerned the find
ings of the audit and to give
them an opportunity to
make whatever suggestions
or corrections they may
consider advisable. After
the comments are received
from the local government
and the Department of the
Interior, the final report is
prepared. This report then
becomes a public document.
This procedure is based on
a long established similar
pattern in the audits con-

SENATOR DE LUGO URGES WEST END
NEWS TO GIVE "FACTUAL REPORT"

NGWO IN MI In
Senator Ron de Lugo has
written a letter to the edit
or OF the West End News,
Paul 4. Joseph, as follows:
ALLOW me to state that
/ was amazed at the front
page story appearing in
your newspaper Of Satur-
day, March 16, 1868, and
purporting to be a factual
report to your readers OF
recent events in the Legis-
lature Of the Virgin Islands.
Your reporter begins and
closes the article with the
highly imaginative state
ment that three minority
bloc senator's, Moorhead,
LaWaetz and de Lugo, went
for a Caribbean cruise on
Thursday OF last week
with some Of the most inn
portant pieces Of legislation
pending. The article then
proceeds to say that we
proceeds to say that we
were not for pay increases
and insinuates that the Pay
Plan had not been passed.
Regarding the Budget,
your reporter attempts to
chastise us for not compro-
missing or attempting to
find common ground with
the majority. For your in
formation, Sir, and the in
formation of your readers,
these are the facts.
I. No Democratic Sena-
tors have been on a Carib
bean cruise, to the best OF
my knowledge. It has been
many months since I have
been o ma boat. The story
Of the boat trip by the three
senator's was a Pigment OF
Senator ttley's over-active
Imagination, designed to
mislead and confuse. All
Democratic senators were

Then fill the trays and set
them back in the refrigera-

BY using a brown paper
bag instead Of a plastic bag,
the ice does not stick to-
gether. I try to put the ice
in the bag without wetting
it. This will help prevent
1t from sticking together,
and you will find that you
can take out one piece or
ten, whatever you need!
Reader
I never knew that ice
could be put in a brown
paper bag or sack, as she
calls them. I tried it and 1t

when you open your freez-

Four candidates for Post
No. 5 of Kinds County in the
Mississippi Legislature ap-
peared on WLBT last week
in a public affairs program
that turned out to be little
more than a vendetta against
the Kennedy administration.
The one candidate for the
post who did not appear on
the program, Mrs. Virginia
Potts (whom we do not hap
pen to know, apparently
showed good judgment in
having another engagement.
Among the questions asked
the candidates was did they
favor the Liberty Amend
ment; Federal aid to educa-
ton; prescribed testing of
school children on Citizen
ship" factors; the situation in
Cuba Chow they would alter
it,; the difference between
Rockefeller and Kennedy;
their position on the I'm

more important, domestic or
foreign relations; would they
favor re-evaluation of the

welfare rules on what con-
stitutes a needy person.;
how they would eyaluate the
situation at Tougaloo.
What authority these per-
sons could assume on the
foregoing matters if elected
to the Mississippi Legislature,
remains obscure, at least to
us.
Perhaps they could have a
say-so in the field to change
or maintain the present ar
rangement on liquor; token
migration; making the
Board of Institutions for
higher Learning a constitu-
tional board; less Federal mo-
ney coming into the state
(all favored cutting it DOWN;
indignation of schools or close
them Con which most said
they would take a mandate
from the people.) All OF
these were also asked.
The candidates who did ap-
pear were Mrs. Charles M.
Hills, wife of the Clarion
Ledger columnist; Ben John
son, Billy Mckinley and
Henry Thomas.
