Three l7-year-old skaters
will be barred from performing
in the Ice Capades because beer
is sold on the premises of the
Coliseum, the District School
Board ruled yesterday.
Harry G. Lynn, owner of the
Coliseum, said he did not see
the logic of a law that pro-
hibits teen-agers from working
on the ice and backstage where
they do not come in contact
with the area where beer is
sold yet permits thousands of
youngsters in the audience
where beer is consumed openly
In a sense, Carl F. Hansen,
superintendent of District
schools, agreed with him. But
he felt it was unfortunate that
beer is sold at all to an audi
ence where children predomi-
nate.
Call for Prohibition?
Mr.. Lynn interpreted this
statement today as a call for
prohibition. And Supt. Hansen
answered, 1T is not a good at
mosphere to bring children to-
gether where beer is consumed
openly and without restraint
II that is interpreted as advo-
eating prohibition then I guess
I'm for prohibition"
He called on Mr.. Lynn as 6
businessman to take the lead
in banning the sale of beer ir
his establishment. Mr.. Lynr
said today that the superin.
tendent might as well be ask
ing him to give up making 6
profit.
The argument took on an.
other aspect today when Mr.
Lynn claimed he has obtained
special permission to have per-

PRESS RELEASE
REMARKS BY
OTIS L. FELIX
Commissioner Of Public Safety
U. S. Virgin Islands

Good Evening, ladies and
gentlemen. 1t is important, |
believe, that from time to
time those of us who are en-
trusted with important and
difficult assignments on behalf
Of the public, appear before
you and convey to you the
scene of the problems which
confront us as well as the man
ner in which we propose to
handle them. The Department
of Public Safety not only
needs, but deserves your con-
fdence in performing it's as
signed tasks.
The specific purpose OF this
chat this evening is to set the
record clear in your mind as
to what is being done about a
series of recent and unusual
criminal activities within these
Virgin Islands. 1t is important
that YOU be advised in this
scene because public coopera-
ton is essential to the opera
ton of any police department.
| have been in the police ser
vice since 1941. Since that
time I have been privileged to
study police administration
with the Institute for Mun1cl-
pal Administration of the City
of Chicago, and | hold a grad
uate degree from the Institute
Of Applied Science Of that
City. l have also attended the
Police Academy in the cities
Of New York and Cincinnati,
including as well the Ameri-
can Detective School and the
Bolcn Academy in New York.
1 have studied criminology
with the Boston School Of
Criminology and hold mem
bership in many professional

police organizations. Presently
| am the regional vice-presi-
dent for the International
Association for Identification.
/ mentioned these facts only
because it is important that
you realize that as head of the
Department of Public Safety
in these Virgin Islands, | am
a qualified police professional.
Therefore, I speak to you
from a background Of training
not only on the mainland OF
the United States but with an
intimate knowledge of police
problems in the Virgin Islands.
But whether or not you accept
these qualifications is beside
the point. I have got a job to
do, and l intend to do it and |
believe that this department
can dc the job.
On the night of April 20,
1868, a citizen on the island OF
St. Croix was the victim Of a
hold-up in the Christiansted
country area. While driving
on his way home, the victim
found the road blocked and he
got out to remove the obstacle.
He was then surrounded by a
trio Of armed, masked men,
who told him it was a hold-up.
In order to. show that they
meant business, they discharg-
ed several shots near the vic
tim, one of which struck his
heel. The trio then took off in
the victims car, after having
obtained only $1,000, which
was in the purse of the victims
wife, woh was also in the car.
This type of criminal acti-
WHY'S something new for our
community and perhaps be-
cause of this fact it may have
, 1963-05-23

given rise to all sorts of specu-
lations as to what ought to be
At this point let me en-
one important fact.
Efficient police action cannot
be based on the impulsive re-
actions of panic, nor can any
police department permit itself
to be affected by the excited
atmosphere of any crime or
series of crime. Sound and
sober police action can come
only from sound and sober
Judgment. Action must be
swift. It can be effective only
if based on a calm appraisal
of the situation.
What these recent outbursts
have resulted in then is, that
your Department Of Public
Safety has moved surely and
swiftly in certain ways:
/. Measures have been in
stituted throughout the entire
Virgin Islands based upon
knowledge available to this de-
partment and which are calcu-
lated to bring to a successful
solution these recent criminal
activities and to apprehend
the wrong doors involved.
You will understand that |
am not in a position to 60 into
details as to the careful conf
dental and undercover work
that has been instituted. You
may be assured in any event
that those Of us who are train
ed to handle these types Of
situation, require from the
public that our jobs not be
complicated by uncalled for
public alarm.
2. AS this Virgin Islands
community grows SO will the
complexities of its problems
in the field of crimes. We
should be prepared for the in
creasing oingenuity of criml-
nails. This is not something pc
culiar to our community but a
matter which plaques police
departments throughout the
nation and the world. With
the approval Of the Governor
I have already started to take
steps to beef-up our police
department in terms of OBJ
tanning the services of addi-
tional professional police in
vestigators.
