Iteenth Legislative Assembly of the Virgin Islands, Fourth
Session 1854, requesting that a reliable firm be hired to pre-
pare, as soon as possible, an insular retirement plan based
upon present-day concepts or retirement planning, and en-
lbodying a plan of coordination with Social Security. Such
a retirement plan, when received and accepted, will be sub
United to the Legislature for formal acceptance.
Incidentally, l have been informally advised that under
our agreement with the Social Security Administration, De
partment of Health, Education and Welfare, as authorized by
Bill No. 10, Legislative Assembly of the Virgin Islands, Third
Session 1851, all employees of the two extinct municipalities
who are now employees of the Government Of the Virgin
Islands could be considered as covered under the atoremen-
toned agreement. / am therefore requesting the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare to review our agreement
so that the benefits of Social Security can be extended wher-
ever now applicable.
We would then be affording employees of the Govern
ment Of the Virgin Islands Social Security coverage as well
as the benefits of a well thought out and actuariaIly sound
retirement system.
Sincerely yours, x

Ny dear Mr.. President:
am returning herewith Executive approval, Bill No. 4
"To Provide for the Retirement Of the Officials and Employ

Agencies" as passed by the Legislature on March 10, 1855.
The Bill in its general intent is agreeable and indeed
worthwhile. I wish that it were possible to approve this i'm
mediately, as it is imperative that we have a retirement law
on our books for the benefit of our employees. However, in
Section 2, the Legislature has recommended the establish
ment Of a new board, the Retirement Board, with appoint
ment and membership therein subject to the approval Of the
Legislature. l should like to point out that Section 10 (a) OF
the Organic Act prohibits the creation of any new instru-
mentality without prior approval of the Secretary OF the In
terror. Rather than request such PERMISSION, Deneve Ina1

R-W Laws vicfimize
Wage Farmers, Says
Forrest Anderson

zone of labor's greatest enemies
is the rising menace of state-enacted
'right-to-work' laws which strike at
the heart of industrial democracy,
Forrest H. Anderson, Democratic
nominee for Attorney General, said
Monday.
Continuing, Anderson pointed out:
CAT present, seventeen states have
this type of anti-labor legislation.
Such laws forbid any form of union
security contracts, and they do NOT
give anyone the right to work. The
term right to work is misnomer
and is misleading to the general pub
lie. The so-called law merely gives a
person the right to seek employment
and at whatever wage the employer is
willing to pay. Let US not be fooled;
right to work laws do not create
jobs; they only victimize the worker
and make his labor union ineffective.
81 pledge to do my utmost to see
that Montana is not added to the list
of states where labor is legally ex-
plotted by the right to work laws"
the Democratic nominee concluded.

Senate on Tuesday, June 20. The high
dam at Hells Canyon, as proposed IN
the bill for federal construction, sis
the only method ever proposed to har-
ness the enormous potential of the
Middle Snake River for maximum
multi-purpose use in the national in
terest," the report asserted.
(The House Interior Committee by
a 1913 vote, has also approved fed
eral construction of Hells Canyon
Dam. One Republican, Rep. Edgar
Chenowith (Colo.), joined IA Demo-
Gratis in voting approval of the bill.
One Democrat, George Shuford On.
Co. voted with the Republican mi
nority in opposition.)
In appraising the benefits to be
derived from the project, the Senate
committee report listed the follow
ing:
Flood Control: s2,3OO,OOO annual
ly.
Navigation: $4,000 to s29O,OOO
annually.
Recreation. 100000 to $4,000 an
nual visitors.
Irrigation: Power revenues to help
finance future reclamation projects.
Phosphate Fertilizer: Low cost
power available to develop vast phos-
phate rock deposits in eastern Idaho
Wyoming Utah-Montana area.
Electro-process Industries: Low-cost
power available to expand these in
dustries in the whole Northwest.
Estimating the total cost of the
construction of Hells Canyon Dam
and the proposed transmission facili-
ties at 1886, 1872, 900, the majority de-
clared that the project would pay for
itself. Not only will consumers of
power pay all costs plus interest for

in wheat going into competition with corn and

would be around $1.05 bushel, the grain men
estimate.

The Wheat Referendum on July 20 is a demo-
cratic way for wheat farmers to keep some
troll over their wheat prices.
In this referendum the stake is the price you
will receive for your 1857 wheat.
You face a choice between marketing quotas
with a support price of at least rs per cent of
parity or no quotas and free market price
In terms of dollars and cents, this means a
choice between 1857 wheat at an average sup
ported price of $3.50 bushel or wheat without
price supports at estimated $1.05 bushe

revenues will be available to repay
the costs of non-reimbursable fea-

control, recreation, and navigation.
FPC MADE POLITICAL DECISION,
MAJORITY CHARGES
The report also severely criticized
the decision of the Federal Power
Commission to grant license to the
Idaho Power Company for the con-
struction of three dams in the Hells
Canyon reach of the Snake River. 1t
accused the commission of basing its
decision on political judgment
rather than upon any conviction that
the private development was techni-
cally superior.
The FPC examiner, declared the
majority, approved the Idaho Power
Company petition son the basis of
his determination that the Congress
would not act upon recommendation
by the commission to Congress F. :.
that the high dam be built" AS sup
porting evidence, they cite the ex-
aminer's admission that "the facts
seem to point to the unacceptable con-
clusion that with the marked and
substantial advantage of the govern
ment's credit, the high dam would be
dollar for dollar the better invest
ment and the more nearly ideal de-
velopment of the Middle Snake"
In spite of this conclusion, the eX-
aminer subsequently declared that
Gwen assuming that substantial ben
efits would accrue to the people of
the United States by federal develop
ment and that such benefits
would exceed by a substantial amount
those to be conferred by development
under private auspices there is
no reason to assume that if a recon-
mendation of federal development
were to be made ;. that development
of these water resources would be
by the United States
within a foreseeable time" Thus, on
the basis of "a purely political guess"
an invaluable resource belonging to
all of the American people was turned
over for private exploitation.
INTERNATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE
OF CONTROVERSY EMPHASIZED
Pointing to the international i'm
plications of the controversy, the
committee noted that other countries |
are in the process of developing gil |
yantic hydroelectric projects, includ
ng the 1.3 million XIV capacity AS
van Dam in Egypt and the 30 million
XIV Bratsk development in the USSR.
With the whole world moving in the
Erection of ''big projects" the Unit
ID States cannot afford to take a

If more than third of those farmers voting,

production would drop the price of wheat to
