market, money made by Chiang Kai-Sheks relatives in selling tin to the Communists, and a phony gasoline deal attempted by the nationalist air force.
 Furthermore, Sen. Lyndon "ly- ing-doya" Johnson's Investigating committee has had some of these facts for months. But in keeping with his Texas nickname, he laid down on the job.
 Meanwhile, here are more facts showing how an American Admiral persuaded General MacArthur's headquarters to release 62,000 rounds of navy shells one month after the Korean war started with lush profit paid to s. G. Fassou!is and Miriam Aprahamian, the percenters for the China lob by.
 Fassoulis and Aprahamian, heads of the Commerce International Corporation, had hired Aoin. Charles M. Cooke, Jr., together with 10 other retired AmerSan officers who are stationed on For mosa, in the dual capacity of ad- visers to Fassoulis and Apraham- ian as well as advisers to Chiang Kai-Shek They include Gen. R. L. Peterson, Cooke's son-in-laY, Mai. c. F. Field; and did include Gen. o. T. Pfeifer and Adm. H. L. Grosskopf, all retired. The lat ter two have now withdrawn.

 One month after the Korean war started, and when the U. $. Navy needed to conserve all its ammunition, Admiral Cooke in- duced Macarthur headquarters to sell 22.O0O rounds of three-inch navy shells plus 40,000 rounds of 2O-mm. shells and 40-mm. shells.
 The story given out at the time was that the shells were scrap, about to be dumped into the sea. This, however, was not true. The price paid for the three-inch shells was $3 each-a bargain base ment rate, because the original list surplus price was S36 each.
 But the interesting thing is that Fassoulis and Aprahamian got 12 per cent commission on the deal.
 Significant also is the fact that it was the U. s. Navy, not the Chinese Navy, which was guarding Formosa at the time. In view of the long transport across the Pa cific. therefore, it was the U. 5. Navy. not the Chinese, who stood i to need reserve ammunition.
 s. G. Fassoulis, when queried by | this column, admitted the facts but claimed the shells were defec- tive
 Note-Admiral Cooke is the of- ficer who, while commander of U. s. Naval forces in the western Pacific at the end of the war, used an LST boat to transport his auto to Shanghai to sell it on the black market Naval enlisted men in Shanghai at that time were being jailed for selling cigarettes on the black market.

Businesses Slow Filing With OPS

Many business men are still delinquent in filing and other requirements of Office of Price Stabilization regulations, Neil s. Miller, Anchorage branch manager, said recently.
 Miller said most of those de- linquent are in the service trade. All businesses which sell a service at retail are re- quired to file a list of their ceiling prices with the OPS. Businesses in this category would be laundries, cleaners, gaaages, repair shops of all kinds and similar sellers.

Bar r anu Leauty shops are xempt.
 Ceiling prices are those that prevailed during the base period Dec. 19 to Jan. 26, last. Service sellers who increased since that time did so illegally, Miller said.
 Service sellers are required to post their prices in a con- spicious place in their place of business.
 Regarding retail business, Miller said all merchandise shipped in from outside the Territory for resale must be tagged or marked with the selling price.

 and play a piano group on the program. Miss Kanazawa was born in California and was first train ed in Hollywood by the best vocal teachers and later went to New York City for further teaching. While still in college she was awarded first prize among several hundred con- testants at the Young Artists competition of the San Fran cisco Worlds Fair in 1889. Since her first spectacular appearance she has appeared before audiences and critics in Budapest, Vienna, Stockholm, San Francisco, Cincinnati and New York.
 Cruzi began his operatic career when Director Gaetano Merola of the San Francisco Opera heard his broadcasts on the U. s. Army national radio programs and called him for an addition.
 His success was immediate and he was cast to sing oppo- site Lily Pons in Lucia. The critics were loud in their acclaim of Cesare for this pre- formance.
 The concert is scheduled to begin at 8:20 pm, Mrs. V. G. Ellis, chairman of the concert committee, announced yester- day. Following the concert a reception for the artists will be held at the Elk's Club, she added.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1851

The strength and the power of our
social order lie in the unselfish-
ness and in the inherent honesty
Of the men and the women who
omprise it.
This Municipal Council meets
in its inaugural sessions at a time
when the President of the United
States has declared a national
emergency. Our Country is being
forced to mobilize for the peace
and the security of the world. Our
Armed forces r engaged in bat
tie, under the banner of the Unit
ed Nations, in order to save the
world from Communist domino
ton. 1t behooves US, therefore, in
this serious hour, to offer our own
willing sacrifices, in order that
those forces which seek to corrupt
civilization may never be able to
find comfort or aid here on u
homefront. It is our freedom
which is at stake. It is our right
to worship God, to educate u
children, and to maintain our
faith and our institutions which
cannot be sacrificed.
The issue is the preservation of
the American tradition of freedom
and the democratic organization
OF society. In this outpost of
America, we can contribute our
little measure to the security of
our Country by making every eff
fort to solve u own insular prob
lens, by forgetting partisan in
terests, and by massing our best
intelligence in a united effort to
improve our social and economic
order. We shall never succeed if
we attempt to divide our citizens
against each other at the very
time when we should preserve our
national as well as our insular
unity.
In order to improve our social
and economic order, l find it ne
cessary to repeat that the obiec-
tive of my administration is the
attainment of greater self-support.
| have said before that l believe
this objective can be achieved by
long-term educational policies, by
increased local food production,
by the establishment of an all
year tourist program, by encour-
agement of industrial develop
ment, and by greater economy in
government. I should make it
clear, however, that even though
I am definitely not in favor of
any increases in our deficit appro

AID

OF Gov. Morris F. de Castro
at inaugural meeting of the
9th Municipal Council of
Saint Thomas & Saint John.
January IL. 1851
Mr.. Chairman and Members of
the Municipal Council of Saint
Thomas and st. John.
Permit me, on behalf of the Ad-
ministration, to extend ~congratu-
lations to six members of the Mu-
nicipal Council, on their re-elec-
ton, and to the seventh member
on his election to this high Office.
/ pledge to this legislative body
the Administrations full support
of all measures which are in the
public interest. The members of
my staff and I will cooperate with
you, the duly elected representa-
tives of the people, to the utmost
of our ability, consistent with the
announced policy of my Admin
istration which is to provide good
government within a framework
of greater self-dependence.
On January End, when l adj
dressed the 9th Municipal Coun-
Gil of st. Croix, at Christiansted,
/ assured the members of that
Council, and I now give you the
same assurance, that I shall ac-
cord to the members of the legis-
lative branch of our government,
the respect and the consideration
to which they are due l ask that,
in like manner, the members OF
this body accord to the members
of the executive branch OF the
government the same respect and
the same consideration. We may
disagree on policies. however, The
strength of a democratic govern
ment lies in the fact that the State
is not the supreme arbiter OF
mans economic & political think
ing. You and l, and all the people
of the Virgin Islands, have a right
to our own economic and political
opinions. In the public expression
of such opinions, and even IN
cases of violent disagreement,
however, / should like to see our
discussions conducted on the high
est plane of friendliness and OF
courtesy. The tasks which we
have to perform can be immeasur
ably accelerated if we should re-
tain faith in human brotherhood
and then, resolve to make that
faith nye,in our human relations.

United States, / shall continue to
urge that Congress give us all the
benefits which American citizens
in Puerto Rico and the several
States get from the federal
government.
Congress, l should point out,
acted clearly and emphatically
along this line during the past
year when it extended to the Vir-
gin Islands the public assistance
and the insurance titles of the So
cial Security Act, and the benefits
of the vocational education and
employment security programs.
Congress also made it possible for
US, during the past year, to en-
courage at least one industry to
come to these islands, namely a
button factory, when it amended
a 1917 Act which had certain res
trictive clauses which operated to
our detriment. l shall renew our
request to Congress to return the
US. internal revenue taxes on
products of the Virgin Islands. If
and when Congress shall have
acted favorably on this request,
we shall not need any more def
cit appropriations.
I shall also ask that Congress
establish the Office of Resident
Commissioner, authorize national
guard units for the Virgin Islands,
authorize federal credit unions,
and transfer our agricultural pro-
gram to the Department of Agri-
culture. The Assembly's Commit
tee should report on revisionS of
our Organic Act as soon as posi-
BILE, SO that you may present them
to Congress. These recommends
tons are fundamental for long
range stability and progress.
1t is necessary for us to continue
exhaustively to examine our bud
getary structure. Several such
surveys have already been start
ed. The survey in the field of edu-
cation which is now in process, as
a community undertaking, should
be an outstanding one. I hope to
ask Congress for funds to have an
impartial agency examine our
revenue laws and our department
tai operations. In the meantime
should increase our revenues
reduce our expenditures
wherever that is possible. This
Council has already enacted in
creaSes in trade taxes, gasoline
taxes, pilotage fees, corporation
fees, automobile registration fees,
and business license fees. I am
sending to the Council proposals
to authorize a small school lunch
fee for those who can afford to
pay for the same, a proposal for
an increased rate of real property
taxes, and increased hospital fees.
We shall need additional revenue
to liquidate our obligations and
our Indebtedness, as well as to pro

Home, Cd an amendment to our

dlnance to regulate shoeshining.
The Council should give immedi-
ate consideration to the measure
proposed to the last council to ap-
prove the application of the Vir-
gin Islands Corporation for funds
to acquire and operate our cleo
trio light and power. system, or to
approve an application to the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
for a loan for the expansion of
this utility. For the early consid-
Grafton of all these measures, |
shall hope for a series of inform
al discussions between the execu-
tive and this legislature.
We have been very fortunate to
attract at least two new industries
here through our tax exemption
laws. Arrangements are now be-
ing made for the establishment of
these industries in our commu-
nifty. Besides, there have been Sc
rlous inquiries from other indus
tries which r now giving consid
Grafton to coming to these islands.
The advent of this industrial or
der, l believe, might make it ne
cessary for us to re-examine our
labor policies, for the protection
OF both the industries and our
working people. At the time our
wages and hours act was adopted
no thought was given to the type
OF lndustrialization which is now
coming to our islands. Because of
this fact, l feel that our wages and
hours act may have to be revised.
Within the framework of
laws, we should consider, as the
federal government and MANY
states have done, the enactment
OF a provision IN our wage laws
which will create special industry
committees to make determine
lions for minimum wages in each
industry. Of course, we will have
to continue the protection Of a
single floor for all wages and a
ceiling for hours of work.
