Tempers Rise. Even with these restrictions 80% of the voters in last July's Assembly election were Negro. But owing to the loyalty of many backlands Negroes to their white employers, P.L.P. got only six of 29 seats. P.L.P. tempers went higher three weeks ago over Governor Sir Oswald Raynor Arthur's annual appointments to the executive boards that help manage the islands. Negro appointees were in the minority and no Negro was named to the Development Board, which runs the key tourist industry.

Written by one of Father Oswald's Franciscans, Passion on Paradise Street concerns a vicar who pays an unaccustomed call on a nonchurchgoing family and is rudely rebuffed. Both the vicar and the head of the family die, and after death bicker bitterly about why they did not get along.
