AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT

NOTHING SHOULD be spared in getting the Admins.
tration to provide the necessary funds for extension Of the
Alexander Hamilton Airport runway This field is one of the
best in the entire West Indies, and its extension would fit it
to accommodate the Largest planes military and civilian,
which would fly this way.
IN THIS ACE OF air travel, and with that type Of tra-
vI developing in this area, ST Croix could become 4 vital
link ia the chain of fields leading from the United States to
Sohth America. Already one air line, which travels this route
sees the possibility Of using the local airport as an important
refuelng and stopping off spot.
THAT THIS extension is important is clear to al. What
is now needed is to get actionNin Washington. The govern
ment, the ST. Groix Council, and even the Legislative As
sembly ought TO be urged to Join in efforts to secure the ne
cessary funds to improve the airport. This is a matter which
goes beyond any given island. An airport Of that size and
capacity is important for the long runways are an asset to
any area, and if the largest planes could land just 40 miles
away, Alexander Hamilton Airport could be Of the greatest
value to ST. Thomas, which is but Is minutes away BY small
er plane,
WHAT TOOK place between the original plans and the
present is not for us to lament at the moment. Usually these
matters are allowed to take their course, or just to limp along
Al. factions fnt away both time and opportunity until il is
too late. Ii would be tragic if that were the case here. How
ever, there is still someopportunityy # the fright effort is made
BECAUSE BOTH Congress and the Administration are
economy-minded to the place where few new construction
projects are being undertaken, and yevenf ldiones are being
allowed to remain inactive, the task as1o the airport may be
more difficult, but effort is fully justified When il is realized
that at a moments notice the airport can be ready for military
use, any funds devoted to its improvementtcould be justified.
THEN assistance Of the airlnes using the airport
may be sought in this connection The Civil Aeronautics

the officer, the area was too
hot (radioactively) and the
'copters had to make a second
pass.
Some troops reached vantage
points where they could see
damage done to Marine equip
ment scattered around 1000 to
$500 yards from Ground Zero.
The exercise was a mock air
and ground assault on a theore-
tical beachhead which had been
subjected to the ravageS of
atomic bombardment.
Six Marines and six soldiers,
all volunteers, rode out the blast
in trenches well in advance Of the
main body of troops Location Of
these trenches was not disclosed,
but in a previous test volunteers
were stationed 2.500 yards from
Ground Zero.

there were no casualties. The

Ninety-f1ve planes, including a
dozen big B-50 bombers, were
aloft over the test area during
the detonation. Scheduled flight
of a Navy ADJ drone plane
during the maneuver was
Cancelled for undisclosed reasons.

tower. which observers said was
vaporized. Its binding flash
turned a beautiful rosy orange
which fingered unusually long.

Illuminated this city. IS miles

daylight. However, observers
here felt no shock wave and
heard no rumble from the de-
tonation, sixth of the spring
series.
The mushroom cloud which
formed atop the detonation at
first moved toward this resort
community, causing some alarm.
However. the radioactive cloud
was caught by~winds which car

Nearer Ground Zero than the
most advanced troops were live
sheep and rabbits, as well as an
assortment of dummies. weapons,
tanks, amphibious landing craft,

One of the most ambitious jobs
attempted for the fair missed a
prize because only half of it ar
rived at the school.
Fifteen-year-old Ted Carol Of
Takoma Park designed a huge
hydro electric plant, model dam
and valley but was unable to get
it out of his basement. Con-
structed in part Of solid clay, the
model weighed nearly 200 pounds.
Three boys. Ted said, tried to lift
it up the cellar stairs. When that
failed, the youthful engineer
could bring to the fair only his
dam and miniature turbine,
which mad actually produced
some current.
Remote Steering Device.
Jay Smith III, 13, an eighth

transformed a model train switch
into an intricate device for steer

which ran by remote wire con-

LAS VEGAS, New, April 49,
Twenty-Five hundred Marines
maneuvered today with an
atomic blast. the most brilliant
and spectacular of the spring
series, which set af1re hundreds
of Joshua trees across the desert.
"The desert looked like it was
sprouting Roman candles" said
a Marine officer in a 6-foot
trench 1000 yards from the det-
onation point. THE Joshua trees
. suddenly were in flames from
top to bottom. And the entire
desert seemed to erupt. The dust
and dirt were so terrific we
couldn't see more than so yards"
Marines Charge. Forward.
This was after the binding
flash of the detonation itself
and shortly before the battle
equipped Marines scrambled
from their trenches and charged
toward Ground Zero. The exer-
else teamed Marine assault tao
tics with nuclear force. b
AS for the explosion itself,
''the very dazzling light was al
most indescribable," said the Of
f1cer, who declined the use of
his name. He is a~public infor-
nation officer.
Even with our heads down
and our eyes closed, the ter
rifle white light seemed almost
to blind lis. The earth shook
Just like in an earthquake"
The officer said the boiling
f1reball shot skyward, although
it was hard to distinguish be-
cause of dust and dirt. THE
loudspeaker announced that in
a matter of seconds the atomic
cloud had shot up to 10000 feet
and was a mile wide" he added.
by the time we'd climbed out
of our trenches, the sight was
terrifyingly beautiful" he said.
About that time one of the
Joshua trees "a cactus-like tree)

LOOK AT YOUR
CREDIT RECORD
Social Security Credited Earn
ings Should Be Checked
Every Three Years
IMPORTANT TO YOU

"The opportunity for a wage
Garner or self-employed person to
check on earnings credited to his
account under social security is in
many instances unrealized or ig-
nored," Myron Milbouer, manager
of the social security field Office in
Wilmington, reports. "A common
by-word some years ago was, Let's
look at the record 1t was used
when one issued a challenge to go
back to the basic facts on an issue.
This admonition it look at the
record applies particularly today
to the millions of persons who have
worked and are working in en-
ployment covered by social secur-
ity," the local manager said.
MANY questions should enter
workers minds, such as, rs my
work covered? Am I being re-
ported correctly as to name and
social security number by my en-
ployer How much in wages is
reported and standing to my So
cial security credit now?'" Mil
bouer stated that the answers to
these questions can be secured by
the wage Garner if he mails a post
card form to the Social Security
Administration. An authenticated
statement of credited earnings will
be returned promptly. This action
can be taken every year and should
De taken at least every three years.
The cards may be obtained at any
social security field Office. To
measure effectively your earning
progress, Look AT Your Record.
It will be important to YOU at re-
,irement time. 1t will be import
ant to Your Family in the event of
your death at any time.
