Russia Issues
IF ormuI Edict
Freezing Debt

MOSCOW. April 20 (P.-The
Soviet Union yesterday issued q
decree freezing 260 billion rubles
in state bonds bought by Soviet
citizens over the past 80 years
The decree carries out the
plans announced April 10 by
Nikita Khrushchev. Communist
Party boss. Interest on the bonds
is stopped and repayment OF
principal is frozen for 20 to 25
years.
The debt thus frozen amounts
to s65 billion at the official rate
of exchange.
The decree also suspends fur
ther sales of state bonds which
in the past have taken at least
one months pay annually from
the pockets Of the citizens.
The bonds are held by wage
and salary earners and collective
farmers. They were purchased
through q payroll deduction
plan.
The effect OF the freeze order
is to make it impossible for So
Wet citizens to cash the state
bonds many had sailed away as
an extra retirement fund.

Customers in st. Croix
Most of you have been flying with us for many
years-some of you since the Airline began. We
appreciate your patronage and have always tried
to provide good and convenient service to each
of you.
AS YOU know, traffic has increased over the
old days and we have had to add more and more
flights in order to meet the increase. AS we added
flights, it meant that schedules had to be tight
ened SO that now there is very little time left be-
tween the arrival Of a plane on one flight and its
departure on another.
If we have a delay in a planes departure on
one flight, it means automatically that there will
be a delay on all the succeeding flights which are
to be flown by the same plane.
An ~airplane is different from your car-one
doesn't Just step in and drive away. All OF the
weight aboard the aircraft must be added-up and
distributed properly 50 that it flies smoothly and
safely. The compilation of the items aboard the
plane and their placement takes a few minutes OF
time and must take place before the flight de-
parts, The computations involved are important to
your safety and cannot be hurried,
Since vie are sure that each of you wants
your flight to go and come on time, you will un-
derstand why it is that we must insist that all
passengers arrive and be checked-in at least 81
minutes before departure time.
Our employees are instructed to '%close-out
flights according to this schedule and are not per-
mitted to accept passengers who arrive later tina"
80 minutes before departure Of our flights
We are sending this open letter to our friends
and customers SO that you will know why we
must take this action,
