from st. Thomas discussed the
merits and dement's of the then
proposed act. They pointed out at
that time that a little more mon
ey might be available, but that
Virgin Islanders would lose some
Of their autonomy.
Al Crucian Councilman, from
the same platform, on the same
night ridiculed the speakers and
told the people in a voice filled
with exhuberance that under the
new Act we will be getting TEN
MILLION DOLLARS EVERY
JUNE: our financial worries will
be over. For that price he was
willing to surrender some auto
nomy. That argument sounded
reasonable to some
The audience was assured that
the little things we worried about
would be ironed out "in confer
ences'.
People in these parts generally
forget very quickly. However
time was too short on this one.

Thomas, in a letter published in
one newspaper here called this
Councilman the hero of the Or
ganic Act and limited that genera

only ONE MILLION DOLLARS

this year and ONE MILLION next
year. And. tbs reports further in

going TO be easy.
Of course the aim here is not
to criticize; but to point out that
no man in these parts can predict
what the Congress of the u. S.
will do. No Councilman can push
any type Of legislation through
the Senate or House.

Improved Production
OF Steel Predicted in
Second Half Of Year
Bv The A,soeiassd Press

CLEVELAND. June 28.-Metal-
working executives and mill
bosses predict the steel business
viii improve during the second
half Of this year. Steel magazine
said Saturday.
The magazine said some steel
executives predict ingot opera
tons will advance above 80 per
cent Of capacity before year
end"
The rate during the first half
year averaged II per cent Of
the Nations rated capacity Of
about IL million tons annually.
Summarizing returns from a
QUESTIONABLE it sent to 5000
Woodworking executives, tn e
magazine said that "49 per cent
of those returning the question
naire see an increase in volume
in last half as against GAS per
cent who anticipate q decrease
and 27.5 expecting no change. !"
Any increase. however, would
not be immediate. The magazine
predicted that for the next few
weeks the market will remain
sluggish because of the July 4
holiday and the start of mass
vacations in industry.
One of the main reasons exec
