SCREENING ALIENS

A survey recently conclud-
ed of the inmates Of Rich
mond Penitentiary shows that
one fourth of the inmates are
aliens one fourth Puerto Ri
cans and the other half ma
tives. The cost of maintaining,
feeding and personnel of this
institution is for the most
part borne by the government
of the Virgin Islands despite
the fact that many federal
prisoners are serving jail
terms there. The Federal gov
eminent contributes only the
food consumed by these pri-
soners.
Because Of the heavy bur
den on the islands govern
ment it is becoming increas-
ingly necessary to seek ways
and means of reducing the
overhead cost of the institu-
ton. One of the ways under
consideration is that of at
tempting to reduce the
amountof aliens that the in
stitution is forced to carry,
many Of them for long terms.
There are several sugges-
tons as to the proper APP
proach to this problem. All
of them point up the fact that
the aliens who run afoul of
the law are for the most part
temporary visitors who make
#af&&eE
no direct contribution to the
welfare Of the island. One Of

the most feasible suggestions
to date is that of screening
aliens for admission. The
Idea is to require that these
aliens submit upon applying
for time a police record from
the place they reside and
from which they seek to en-
ter the American Virgins.
BY doing this it would be
possible to bar those persons
with criminal records from
entering the islands and as a
result eliminate this potential
source of crime. Within the
last year a number Of robber-
les and other crimes have
been committed by persons
admitted for % day visits and
it is only after the persons ap-
pretended are brought to trial
that the fact of long criminal
records in their homeland are
brought to the surface.
Aliens who apply for perma
nent residence are screened
in this manner ard the simp-
lest form Of police record is
enough to block approval of
applications. We know of no
reason why the same princi-
pie should not be initiated to
insure that undesirables be
barred from entry. They not
only create a menace to SOC
iety but by their actions tend
to create hardships for other
peaceful and law abiding
aliens, resulting in illwill
among inhabitants of the is
lands toward aliens as a
group.

Merger Is Approved
For First National,

NEW YORK, Mar. 80 (R.-
Stockholders of National City
Bank of New York and the First

day approved a merger agree
ment arranged by directors of

jorities.

thorized the merger by vote of

shares outstanding. Nearly So per
cent of First National shares ap-
proved the agreement.

Steel Output Peak
Expected in April
As Demand Expands

NEW YORK, Mar. 80 (P.-
The buildup in demand for steel
will hit its peak in April and
reach Sc to 81 per cent Of rated
capacity before leveling off, Iron
age, the national Woodworking
weekly, said today.
The steel ingot is scheduled at
94.5 per cent of capacity this
week. up a half point from last
weeks revised rate.
The magazine said the basis for
the current buildup is the terrific
demand" from automotive man
ufacturers in the critical pro-
duction period just ahead.
1.-The car markers underesti-
mated strength of the new car
market and are trying to make
up for lost time" it added.
Iron Age also reported as fol-
lows:
The pressure of demand from
the auto industry has created
tenseness among other steel
conusmers with the result that
every one is trying to get his
requirements on the books and
from the mills as fast as pro-
ducers can handle them.
This will pitch steel production
to near-record levels before the
seasonal downturn comes.
"A summer leveling-off can be
expected. but on a seasonally-
adjusted basis this will probably
indicate an improvement in the
recovery movement. After the
summer breathing spell there
will be another upturn and a
renewed surge in demand is vir-
tually certain in the last half
of the year.
Added to the demand from the
automotive, construction, oil and
gas, and container industries, the
farmer is now buying steel, too,
despite lower commodity prices
and reduced purchasing power.
He was practically out of the
steel market last year.

Communist-infiuenced govern

tuals, among them President
Figueres, formulated q political
party and philosophy for the

ment."
Shortly after the elections
in 1853. President-elect FL
gueres and Miss Olsen were
married.
Before attending Columbia.
Mrs. Figueres was graduated
from Mary Washington Col
lege Of the University Of Vir-
ginia In 1851, and also spent
a year studying at the UNI
verify Of Copenhagen in Dem
mark - the country OF her
parents.
She finds that these years
OF study in sociology and re-
lated fields now stand her in
good stead as a presidents
wife.
Women in Costa RIGA have
been on an equal legal footing
with men for many years."
she said. "And In recent years
they have gotten the vote.
They believe. as in most
countries. that a woman is q
wife and mother first. But
they also are becoming aware
OF the contributions they can
make and are beginning to
realize that they have a re-
Sponsibility to make these
contributions"
From College to First Lady
What was 1t like to go sud-
denly from a young college
girl to Q First Lady?
II couldn't have done it
had it not been for the warmth
and generous affection the
Costa Rican people have shown
me. It is natural that they
might have wanted their presi-
dent to marry one Of their own
people-but they have been 80
kind and helpful to me and
have made me feel as one of
them"
This is Mrs. Figures first
trip to the United States since
her marriage. The principal
reason for the expedition was
for her parents to see their
grandson, Jose. jr., age Z
months.
Mrs. Figueres says that in
Costa RIGA the Presidents
private life is not Q matter Of
great import to the press, 30
they are not constantly in the
lmelight-perSonally.
But politically, Of course
with a free press, my husband
and his policies are constantly
scrutinized," she said.
Proud of Husbands Program
She is very proud of her
husbands program for his
country and the group Of in
tellectuals around him.
Every person in Costa Rica
feels it Is their right to call on
my husband and express their
opinions. In fact, when he
walks along the street he con-
stantly stops and chats with
the people"
They never 60 out with a
security guard or escort and
in fact only a few sentinels
guard the presidential man
sion.
Since becoming First Lady,
Mrs. Figueres has played
hostess to the United States
Vice President and Mrs. Nixon
and Assistant Secretary of
State and Mrs. Holland.
