SOLO CONSPIRACY

We were more than somewhat surprised at the verdict returned by the Federal court jury at Fair banks in the governments recent antitrust suit against the coal operators
 The charges of conspiracy and collision in un- reasonable restraint of trade brought against five defendants-three firms and two individuals engaged in the production and marketing of coal Nearly two weeks taken up in lengthy and involved discussions revolving around Alaskan coal operations, in the of which one of the jurors fell asleep

IKE MERRY-GO-ROUND

The nations top newsmen, who covered General Eisenhower visit, were red-laced over his unexpected stop-over in New York City before taking of for Europe. They had all ready written that he was winging his way across the Atlantic when he suddenly showed up at New York's La Guardia Field. Actually, Eisenhower had planned all along to stop at La Guardia Field, so his wife could pick up some personal belongings from their New York home. .Eisenhower's escort offer ed to slip him in and out the back way of Washington offices in order to avoid photographers. How ever, he replied that he didn't want to "disappoint the boys" and shov- ed his way through the press mob. At the White House, all other digni- taries slipped out a side entrance except Eisenhower.

SUMMARY OF IKE'S PROBLEMS

The White House meeting was a digest of the previous Pentagon talks, show window for the Pre- sident. Everyone recited, for the Presidents benefit, what they had already discussed earlier in the day.
 While TO decisions were made, all problems were thoroughly aired. Here are some that came up:
 l. Most important, Eisenhower's speed-up plan calls ont only for more equipment, but also more manpower from this country. This, however, would be a stopgap plan to hold the fort until Europe could mobilize fully.
 2. Whereas we have been talking in terms of 60 divisions in Europe by the end of 1854. Eisenhower talked in terms of 20 divisions by the end of 1852. He plans to have Is divisions by the end of January and he indicated that he could or ganize and train 30 divisions by the end of '52-if he could get the equipment.
 3. Eisenhowers biggest problem has been getting Europe's own mili- tary production rolling. Reason is that the North Atlantic countries prefer to manufacture civilian goods and bolster their civilian economies. There is a growing attitude in Eu- rope that we are not doing Europe any favor by sending military aid, but are only preparing our own defenses by making Europe the front line.
 Hints also came to the surface of a controversy between Eisen- hover, the military commander, and Hartman, the new civilian admins trator, over who should allocate the military aid Neither one relish Ss taking tf.a responsibility for saying which country gets how much
 Concensus of the joint chiefs of staff seems to favor Eisenhower s plan for speedup, though no for nal decisions were made. This means we would be stripping our home defense in order to give Eu- rope the second priority on both manpower and equipment. Korea would continue to get first priority Tn other words, it looks as if Eis- enhower won his case.

The Washington Merry-Go-Round

looking brighter, it probably wasn't the cause of his somber mood. h. stead, Truman gave the impression that he was disturbed over some thing that had passed between him and Eisenhower. Several of those present couldn't help but wonder whether Ike had disclosed he plan ned to run on the COP ticket.
 The meeting convened in the cabinet room, and started with the usual pleasantries. President Tru- man beckoned Eisenhower to the seat Vice President Barkley usually occupies.
 You sit here where MT Barkley usually sits" directed the President.
 That is a pretty good job grim ned Ike.
 This was taken as subtle crack at Ike's White House ambitions, and got a laugh from the group.
 Except for this brief banter, how ever, the meeting was right to the point and lasted less than an hour. It was chiefly general summary of the talks that had been going on in the Pentagon earlier that day.
 Eisenhower presented his case in general terms He outlined his plan for building a minute-man force by the end of 1852, rather than con- tinuing the present. long-range, European mobilization program not scheduled for completion till the end of 1854 In explaining the need for a change Eisenhower dwelt chiefly on his needs in Europe and the tagging military shipments from this country. European military pro- duction is far behind schedule, he reported, and our North Atlantic allies are using our retarded ship ments as an excuse not to meet their own commitments.

IN THE HOLE AGAIN

Study of the tax bill passed by the recent ses- sion of Congress makes it clear that the pledges given last spring and summer have now been thrown overboard Promises to balance the Federal budget have gone with the wind.
 Latest available estimates put Federal expendi- lures for this fiscal year and next, combined, at roughly S157O0O 00O,O00. The Treasury is expected to collect about $l3O7OOOOOOoO in those two years That leaves Us facing deficit of $25,00OooOOOO or more for the two-year period It means an increase of roughly 10 per cent in the national debt That's a long way from pay-as-we-go.
 The blame lies with Federal executives who talk ed of economy while demanding enormous expendi- lures for non-war projects, and with legislators who voted to spend these huge sums without levying the taxes needed to raise the money.
 Such policies can spell ruin for the national economy.

REASONS FOR DELAY

The secretaries and chiefs of staff of the army, navy and air force re- piled to Eisenhower, each explaining why his particular service was too short of equipment to spare more for him. The general explanation was that oir own military produc- tion has begged down-due to crip- bling strikes, shortage of machine tools, and too much strategic ma- terial going into civilian production.
 When Eisenhower pleaded for more air power, Secretary for Air Finletter pointed out the trouble negotiating European bases, explain ed the bottleneck in jet production at home, and declared flatly that Korea must have first priority However, Secretary of the Navy Kimball thought he might be able to spare one Marine air wing for Europe .............--...
 Eisenhower also complained that an armored division had been prom ised him, but still hadn't been ship ed. Secretary of the Army Pace and Chief of Staff Collins replied blunt ly that they don't have certain types of equipment to spare.
 Only conflict at the White House meeting occurred between Eisen- hover and Chief Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson, and it was minor.
 Eisenhower kept emphasizing the vital need of getting equipment to Europe before next spring, and in this connection remarked: The greatest danger to the free world may come next spring"
 Wilson broke in and tried to as- sure him that production would be rolling by next spring" However,

FAINT death rate is one Of the more

ADDRESS
of
Governor Morris F. de Castro
to the Sixteenth Legislative
Assembly
October Is, 1851.
Continued from yesterday

Economic development & Tourism
Our tax exemption and indus
trial subsidy program for the
purpose of encouraging the estab-
llshment of new industries, is
moving along too slowly. The Mu-
nlclpal Council Of st. Thomas and
St. John has revised the law on
this subject SO that a more liberal
and practical approach may be
made to attain Jul goal. A similar
revision is before the Municipal
Council of St. Croix, and | hope
that 1t will take action shortly on
the proposal. On the agenda for
this session of the Assembly is an
important bill to set up an Econo-
mic Development Administration
OF the Virgin Islands which, in my
opinion, will be necessary if we
+ to integrate and push our pro-
gram of economic advancement. I
shall refer to this bill later in this
address.
We have experienced real pro-
gress in u tourist trade. During
the 1851 fiscal year, a large hotel
was opened in st. Thomas, and adj
d1tlons to other hotels were made,
increasing our facilities from some
800 beds to nearly 1000. In Saint
Croix, the bed capacity of hitels
and guest-houses was increased
from $50 to 200 during the past
year. This increase is due to the
opening of a hotel outside Fred
eriksted and additions to existing
hotels Tt is estimated by the Vir-
Gin Islands Tourist Development
Board that over $4,000 persons
visited the Islands as tourists dur
ing the last fiscal year and ex-
pended over 100000. In 1850,
over $4,000 persons visited Saint
Thomas No figures are available
for ST. Croix 70 rthe same period
due to the fact that the Tourist
DEVELOPMENT Board was not ex-
banded to include st. Croix until
1851. However, it is estimated that
nearlv 50 100000 was expended in
the islands by tourists during 1850.
Thus. a 33 1877 increase in tourist
expenditures was enjoyed in 1851.
The activities of the Tourist De-
velopment Board were stimulated
bv funds from various sources.
The VIRGIN Islands Corporation
made $4,000 available on a match
ing basis. A great deal of publicity
naafarial was prepared and distri-
hu+ed by the Biard. including 40
900 f~ull-co1or tourist folders 1900
travel agents, landlords, and five
