Thomas.
Mr.. Stevens, who worked
from late 1899 to 1941 in en-
ployment covered by the So
cial security haWs, is now re-
ceiving a monthly social secu-
rity check Of $4,000 for him
self. His wife, though not yet
65 years of age, receives $3.4O
per month, inasmuch as she
shas in her care minor chill
dren of the primary benefici-
airy. In addition, each of Mr..
Stevens minor children re-
ceives $3.4O per month until
attainment of age 18. The IA
mily will receive a total of
5000 per month.
Benefit payments to Mr..
Stevens, his wife and five chill
dren are retroactive six
months from the month in
which application was filed.
The initial payment therefore,
to Mr.. Stevens will be $4,000
to cover the period from Oc-
tober 1850 through May 1851.
Mrs. Stevens will receive
$3.50 and each of the five
children will receive $27,20;
making a total aggregate mi
tial payment to the Stevens
family Of $323.20
Under the old social secu-
rity laws, Mr.. Stevens was not
eligible for social security
benefits. With the passage of
the 1850 amendments to the
Social Security Act, which in
creased the amount of benefits
payable as well as reducing
the requirement qualifications,
Mr.. Stevens became eligible
TO rbenefits payments since he
had at least 6 quarters of
coverage, approximately one
and a half years on jobs COW
cred by the social security
laws, and was at least 65 years
of age.

ST. CROIX PLAYS HOST

NOW THAT it is known that St. Croix will play host to
the West Indian Conference no time should be lost in max
ing adequate and complete plans. The legislature might well
appoint a committee whose responsibility it would be to in
sure that nothing is left undone to make St. Croix the perfect
host. Since the first session of the Conference in Trinidad. the
delegates have enjoyed every courtesy from the host. The pur-
pose OF the conference being to take into account every fact
OF lite on a regional level, the delegates have enjoyed the
warmeSt hospitality wherever the conference has been held.
ONE OF H problems which no doubt will face this
place is housing. Another will be transportation, and still
another boarding facilities. But in each case timely planning
would go a long way towards meeting the situation. While it
might seem as if matters could take care of themselves, we
believe that a second thought by those in the position to make
policy will convince them that the need for planning cannot
be overemphasized.
IN A NUMBER of communities elsewhere a period is
set aside each year for what is known as Paint Up, Clean Up,
Fix Up. Such a period could well be used here before the
Conference actually gets under way. Many a well meaning
citizen just lets things slip by not because he lacks civic pride
but more because he needs a reminder. A week in which the
communities do a little f~ace-ifting might well be introduced
in connection with our overall plan preparatory to the Con-
ference in October.
BECAUSE OF our location and the not too favorable
harbor facilities, St. Croix has been considered little more
than a stop over. However, with the opportunity to play host
to the Caribbean Conference this place can do a good lob,
and become more active in the affairs Of the region. This Con
ference, almost more than anything else will help to bring this
about.

OPS Opposes Rate Increases Asked
 By Alaska Steam

WASHINGTON, (R = Freight rate increases proposed for the Alaska Steamship Company would "have a very great bearing upon the stablization program in its relation to Alaska" the Office of Price Stabilization said yester- day.
 OPS representatives, appearing before the Federal Maritime Board, gave this as one of the two reasons the agency opposes the rate hike. The OPS also feels the increases would be passed on to the consumer, spokesmen said.
 The steamship company told the board rates must be increased to match increased wage and operat- ing costs.
 "Without the benefit of in- creased rates," the company said, "the carriers property will be subjected to public use without compensation"

$50 License Tax on Fishermen Held Unconstitutional

SAN FRANCISCO, (P- In a two-to-one decision, the U. s. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held unconstitutional Monday a $50 license tax imposed on non- resident fishermen by the Alaska Legislature in 1929.
 The court ruled that a tax scale of $50 for non-residents and $5 for residents was discriminatory and discouraged, hampered and burdened interstate commerce"
 The action was brought by the Alaska Fishermen's Union repre- senting some 32,000 members re- siding in Washington, Oregon and California.
 They lost an attempt on April IS, 1850, to have the tax set aside when U. S. District Judge George w. Folta, sitting at Anchorage, ruled the tax law valid and dis missed the fishermen's complaint.
 In a second opinion, the court unanimously reversed Judge Fol ta's order of June ', 1949, in which he denied an injunction against the tax to Pacific Ameri- can Fisheries.
 Judge Folta, sitting at Juneau, ssued a summary judgment against the company, which en- ployed some 400 non resident fishermen. The fisheries ha claimed the Alaska Commissioner of Taxation and his agents had used "force, threats and coercion to collect the license tax.
