introduced three measures for
the Virgin Islands, and at 4
hearings on the measures
would be held in the Islands
during the recess Of the
Senate.
The text Of the Nebraska
Senator's statement made on
the Floor Of the Senate in in
PRODUCING the bills as follows:
Mr.. President:
/ send forward for appro-
pirate reference 3 measures
which lam introducing by re
quest. Each Of these bills
deals with the same subject
matter, namely, revision Of
the Organic Act Of the Virgin
Islands of the United States.
One of these measures is Sug-
gested by the Department OF
the Interior; another by the
st. Thomas Chamber Of Com
merce Of the Virgin Islands;
and the third was sent to me
by the Legislative Assembly Of
the Virgin Islands. The Legs
lative Assembly is composed
Of the popularity elected repre-
sentatives Of the people Of the
Islands.
It goes without saying that /
do not necessarily favor any
of these 8 measures in its en-
tirety. However, / think the
views of the groups sponsor
ing each are entitled to care
full consideration by t h e
Senate Interior and Insu1ar
Affairs Committee and by the
Members Of the Senate.
It is my firm intention, as
Chairman of the Committee
to hold hearings this fall in the
Virgin Islands on these meas
ures during the recess Of the

matter early consideration IN

FOLLOWING her through the
L doorway, he wondered at her
gravity. She had never been over
ly generous with her smiles, but
he had expected one tonight. A
man should rate that much well

Eve turned and closed the door
behind him and said, You

whats SO bad about it," he
asked, wholly puzzled.
Eve shrugged and said. "Tll ex-
plain it while you eat"
Then, as he took off his hat, she
demanded, SIS that blood on your
forehead?"
Rimbaud nodded and grinned
at her, his eyes frankly appraising.
She was, he decided, even lovelier
than she had been two years ago.
Her hair, richly russell and drawn
back to a braided bun at the nape
of her neck, framed an oval face
with high cheek bones. Her eyes,
he saw now, were some warm
shade between blue and gray, like
campfire smoke. There was an ex-
preston like smile in them now
Not smile, exactly, for it didn't
alter the composed fullness of her
lips; more like lingering refiec-
ton of something that had made
her smile a long time ago. Some
thing in the way she peered al

WASHINGTON Rs-Mustard gas
the poison of World War looks
to some Army medical men like a
promising prospect to eliminate
disease hazard involved in the use
of blood plasma.
An Army researcher said here
that recent tests, aided by volun-
teers among prisoners in several
federal penitentiaries, point to this
possibility:
That the poison war gas may be
used to sterilize blood plasma of
the virus responsible for a disease
known as ''serum hepatitis" - a
liver ailment usually marked by
jaundice.
This serum jaundice Is both q
military and a civilian problem.
A whole batch Of blood plasma
can be infected If any of 1t Is
made from the blood Of an unsus-
pected carrier of the virus.
Not all plasma is so infected, of
course, and thousands of persons
have received plasma without get.
ting serum jaundice. The disease
usually develops only among those
who receive repeated transfusions.
A major difficulty is that there
is no known way Of telling whether
supply Of plasma is infected.
So scientists have been seeking q
way to sterilize the blood deriva.
tive, widely used to treat shock,
against any contamination by the
virus.
Col. John r. Wood. the Army's
chief medical research administra-
tor, said in an interview the Army
Is interested even though there is
a possibility a sugar substance
called dextran may eventually re-
place plasma for certain impor-
tant uses.
Dextran Is known TO be free OF
the jaundice hazard. Wood said,
however. that the Army would still
need plasma for some uses even If
dextrzn should replace il for
others.
The mustard gas treatment. he
added. was one OF two plasma
sierilizing techniques which have
shown equal promise in Army.
supported research. The other in
wolves use Of q chemical called
beta-propiolactone" which is wide
ly used in the textile industry to
treat fabric fibers. Further study
Is needed to determine which is
better, he said.
But Wood declared that plasma
treated by either method has been
tried In only q few humans--and
in relatively small quantities.
He said the Army win soon pre-
sent all Its test evidence to the
National Research Council, and
that II the council approves the
Army would then prepare large
supplies Of plasma treated by one
Of the two methods. Then, he said.

Many Visitors
Expect To Call
On Eisenhower

WASHINGTON IA lot of for
eign leaders are coming to see
President Eisenhower in the next
few months, bringing their trou-
bles with them.
Many are old friends from his
days as commander of Atlantic
forces in Europe. Foreign Secre-
tary Anthony Eden Of Britain, Pre-
mier Rene Mayer Of France and
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of
West Germany head the list.
The first to arrive will be Hal
ward Lange, Norway's foreign min
lister. LANCE is coming for a
United Nations meeting, but he
will also visit Washington Feb. %.
Next come British Foreign Sec
rotary Eden and Chancellor of the
Exchequer R. A. Butler. They will
be in Washington March 4 to 6 for
what are officially called "explora-
tory talks"
The big issues are expected to
be economic: Can the pound ster-
ling be made freely convertible
with the dollar? Is the U. S. going
to do anything about removing
trade barriers?
Less than week later, on March
IL. Lord Ismay win arrive with
all of NATO's troubles in his bag
gage. He is the secretary general
chief civilian official-of the whole
14-nation body. He will undoubted-
ly have on his mind the problem
of each nations contribution to the
big program, which some of them
say can't be determined until they
know how much aid will be COM
ing from the u. S.
Mayor Ernest Reuter- of West
Berlin win be in New York March
10 to confer about refugees from
Soviet-dominated East Germany.
No doubt he viii also come to
Washington.
Before the month is out French
Premier Rene Mayer and Foreign
Minister Georges BIdault will be
in town. The French have even
tougher financial problems than
the British.
Early in April, Konrad Adenauer,
the aging West German chancel-
lor, will make his first trip to the
U. S.
He will talk about Germany's
contribution to Western defense
how much and in what form.
An invitation also has gone out
to the Princeton-educated foreign
minister Of Belgium, Paul Van
iceland. He too will have military
problems on his mind.
AS it stands now the last man
in the visitors list is Prime Min
lister Louis st. Laurent of Canada,
a country with which the u. S.
has no major problems. There has
been some trouble, though, about
the proposed st. Lawrence seaway,
with Canada unable to get U. S.
government cooperation and try
ing despite difficulties to got it
alone.
