With No Relief in Sight
BY the Associoted Press

The winters worst storms
dumped more ice, snow and rain
on the Northeast section of the
Nation today in a blast that
left 80 persons dead, power out
over wide areas and traffic
snarled on major highways.
In other States another six
persons died in wintry gales.
Almost $4,000 homes were
without electric power in New
Jersey and $4,000 telephones
we're cut off. Kerosene lamps
and candles were used for IL
Elimination and meals were
cooked at fireplaces. Else
where in the Northeast, another
$4,000 homes were without
power, particularly in Con-
necticut.

ChysIer Building
Dumps Loads of Ice
On New Workers
By The Associcted Press


NEW YORK, Jan. To-
Sleet, rain and snow has
fallen on New York in the
last 48 hours. But when
chunks of ice began falling
onto 42d street today, pedes-
trians ran for cover.
Police peered up at the
Chrysler Building, one of
the worlds tallest, and then
roped of sidewalks near the
skyscraper at 42d street and
Lexington avenue. It de-
veloped that ice was forming
on the building and the wind
was blowing 1t of in chunks.

the end was not in sight. More
heavy snow and freezing rain
was forecast.
Westchester County Hit Hard.
Some 1900 homes were with
out power in Westchester Coun-
ty. N. Y. just north Of New York
City. The ice-laden shrubbery
and trees there made scenes of
rare beauty.
The picture was the same in
Rhode Island-beauty and dan
ger and inconvenience combined.
The coating of ice, worst in
years. wrecked telephone and
power lines.
Throughout the Northeast.
most of the highways were
treacherous. Only the main
arteries were being travelled.
Some air flights were stopped.
Trains ran late.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower today
tapped an old associate for one
of the top jobs of his admins
tration as he continued to study
the angles of the job ahead
including the always-touchy sub
ject of patronage.
Confirming reports prevalent
for several days, Gen. Eisen-

the man he fired as Far Eastern
Commander of United Nations
forces fighting in Korea.
Gen. Macarthur used the
most biting language he has yet
applied in answering President
Truman's charge that the Cen
eral, whom he called "insubor-
dinate," helped increase deser-
tionS.
The figure of desertions, ac-
cording to the statement at
tributed to the President, lately
has run to $4,000. Actually, the
Army said last Wednesday,, the
total was 1000 lower.
Gen. Macarthur said:
"If such desertions are indeed
excessive, despite the recent
denials by the Defense Depart
ment, they can more realistically
be ascribed to a lack of faith in
Presidentt Truman's policies of
appeasement. :"
Calls Attacks 'Puerile.'
And Gen. Macarthur termed
some of the Presidents attacks
on him as "puerile" 80. unjust
and arbitrary" obvious
spleen" completely untrue"
"unfounded and, indeed,
venomous Savage methods"
Perhaps, too, Gen. Macarthur
added in his blistering statement,
President Truman 'is animated
by pique" at President-elect
Eisenhower's interest in ascer-
tanning my views on Korea"
In Washington. the White
House withheld comment on
iGen. MacArthur's statement.
> Gen. Macarthur issued his Sec
ond blast in two weeks at Mr..
Truman-after months of rela-
tive reticence-as a reply to
statements attributed to the
President in a column by Doris
Fleeson of the Bell Syndicate.
(The column appeared Friday
on Page / of The Starr
White House Backs Interview.
Miss Fleeson said President
Truman blamed politically ia
spired attacks on his Korean war
policy for desertions. Her inter-
view with the Chief Executive
was described today by the White
House as an accurate one.
In the interview, Mr. Truman
called Gen. Macarthur "insub-
ordinate" and said he had set
a bad example. When he
didn't obey and wouldn't report
to his Commander-in-Chief -"
The President, Miss FleeSon
added, points an accusing fin
ger at the Chicago Tribune, the
Scripps-Howard and the Hearst
newspapers, together with their
hero, Gen. Macarthur. :"
In his statement issued tonight
through Maj. Gen. Courtney
Whitney, an aide, Gen. Mac
Arthur fired back his own round
of salvoes:
"Mr. Truman's obvious spleen
against me, giving mounting ex-
preston since the election, is
undoubtedly political, not mill
tary.
Points to Voters Action.
"It arises in my opinion from
his realization that his unjust
and arbitrary actions connected
with my relief and related in
cldents, coupled with the bank
ruptcy of his policies in the
Far East, played a large part
in his overwhelming reputation
by the American people at the
polls"
On desertions, he said. Mr.
Truman's policies had created
a lack of faith because they
forbade victory to our forces
committed to battle in Korea
when such victory was easily
within their grasp 20 months
ago" and created 1.-The growing
fear that such policies will in
evitably plunge us into another

The buildings leased from Vicorp have been changed
and repaired 50 as to turn them into satisfactory office and
laboratory space. not for the station staff. but also for several
other agencies.
Outside help has also been called in from other Govern
ment agencies to obtain information on livestock breeding
and raising, and on the economics Of agriculture in the Vir-
gin Islands, so that this information can be made available
to the public.
Land fol-. experimental plots has been cleared and pre-
pared; the planting of experimental forage grass and legume
species, VEGETABLES and fruits has been started, and a fence
to protect the area is partly completed.
Twenty-eight cooperative experiments OF various kinds
are already on the ground, though, Of course, it will take
"a year or more to- get the desired information from most OF
them. Four Of these are on Vicorp property and the rest on
private lands in all parts of the island except the east end.
Thirteen of the. perimen are to test varieties OF fruits
and nuts; ten are on control of weeds and brush; two are on
replacement of Hurricane grass by better grasses; two are
testing the use of fertilizer pastures. andsone is TO test diff
ferent fertilizers on sugar cane.
In four of the schools All clubs have been organized
and are being led and helped.
A cooperative program, in which Vicorp, Public Health,
Public Works, and most Importantly the villagers themselves
have taken part, has greatly changed New Works Village to
make it cleaner, better, more. attractive and more healthful
place to live. Take,a cookbook next time you drive by.

Virgin Islands Agricultural Program News
Contributed By The AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT. STATION
ONE YEARS WORK REVIEWED


Just about wear ago, operations were started at the new
experiment station by the Virgin Islands Agricultural Ex-
pertinent and Extension Program. It is interesting TO review
what has happened during this tine. However, before we 60
into details. it should be pointed out that agricultural expert
mentation is q slow process, thatcan hardly be hurried, no
matter how great the need.
Sugar cane IS a good example. No careful experiments
an cane have been madein st. Croix since 1882, and we have
been growing cane by guess and by gosh. ever since What we
think Is the best cane was developed 16 years ago. Since that
time hundreds Of new varieties have been developed IN all
parts Of the world. Somes of these have been outstandlng
where soils and climate are similar to. ours. and one more OF
them NAV be much better than any we now have. The only
way to tell is to grow them side by side lnrthe same held and
measure their tonnage and sugar content.
First we have to get the seed. Even Puerto Rico has cane
diseases we are free Of, so the seed must be expensfVely treat
ed and handled to make itsafe, and we can't get much. linen
we have to grow it on at least a year to get enough for an
ADEQUATE test. Then we plant the test and wait 10 months 70
harvest the plant cane. That harvest will tell US q good deal
which we will tell you, but we may have had a very wet or
very dry growing season, and the results may not be the same
in other years.
But the plant crop is only part of it. How well do the rat
toons stand UP? It takes us another 8 or Z years 70 Ild tnat
out. We have arranged for seed OF a dozen or SO varleues
that have done well in dry climates. They arrived ana were
set out September IS, 1858. The actual test will pc planted
about October i, 1854. Fhe first harvest will be about March
Is 1864 Rv the snring Of 1860 we should know enough about
the rattoons to be able to tell you with certainty what cane var
ieties will paw best. Once he process is sarted, we will have
additional information every year, but even with QUICK crops
like vegetables and papayas, it is painfully slow before re-
suits come n. So don't be disappointed if we haven't much
to report after the first II months OF operations.
In establishing a new agricultural program, a technical
and clerical staff had to be assembled to do the experiment
tai and extension work. AT present the ~tecfircal staff con-
sists of four Virgin Islanders and three continentals.
