Selling Wave
Stocks
Down 7 Points

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 (P.-A
wave of selling drove already
lower stock market prices down
to a critical point early this
afternoon.
Leading stocks dropped frac-
tons to around 2 points in a
sinking spell but prices held
there as pressure eased.
Wall Street observers have
been expecting a valid test" OF
this low point on the average
which has held on several occa-
sions during the past year or so.
Whether the market would
rally from this, as it has before,
or penetrate the barrier to reach
lower ground from which to ad-
vance, was the question.
OF significance was the fact
that General Motors, the big
gest" stock on the exchange,
dropped below 40 for the first
time since this stock was split
3-for-l in 1855. Its decline,
however, was only fractional and
the stock was selling ex-dividend
which would automatically call
for lower price.
New lows were also reached by
Union Carbide, New York Gen.
trail. Southern Pacific. Textron
and Burlington Industries among
many others.
The decline was general, af-
fecting all major divisions.
The Associated Press average
of go stocks at noon was down
Sl.l0 to S172.00 with the indus
trials down $l.80, the rails down
Sl.00 and the utilities down 20
cents.

NEW YORK. Feb. S-What to
do about the rising cost of liv-
ing? Shoulder can-the Gov
eminent stop it? Or should we
wait for natural economic laws
to apply the brake - with the
possibility that a revolt by the
buying public will put an end to
rising prices and perhaps also
to full employment?
Federal controls over business
and labor would be widely un-
popular with both. Mere talk
about it by President Eisenhower
sent momentary shiver through
the stock market.

Cost Of Living Rising!
Who Is Going to Stop 1t?

Iful lot to hope for, human nature
being what it is.
And so. apparently. is restraint
in rising governmental spending
and taxes. Governmental spend
ing helps feed imitation. And high
taxes add to the cost of doing
business and make both manage
ment and labor want higher
prices and wages. respectively, to
help make ends meet.
All these gloomy prospects are
being discussed both in Wash
ington and in industrial centers.
along with some talk that the
present extent of imitation isn't
hurting many people too much
yet.
The fight against imitation isn't
just an American problem either.
France and England have been
battling with it-with the Suez
Canal backlash and the Algerian
revolt complicating matters for
them.
To fight growing imitation
there. the Bank of Englan d
raised its interest rate last
February to 5l2 per cent. (The
similar rate here is 3 per cent?
But the recent oil shortage there
has slowed down industry and
disturbed England's export mar
kets. Short of dollars to buy oil,
England got some on this side
OF the Atlantic. And this week
the Bank of England cut the
rate back to per cent. to en-
courage plant expansion in a
new drive for exports.
France. at the same time,
frightened its belt. 1t is plagued
by rising prices and the Algerian
war is increasing its Treasury
deflcit--a classic food for infla-
ton. The French government
has ordered all avoidable gov
eminent spending stopped.
Here, the budget is being held
in balance, although spending
has been rising. Getting most of
the blame for imitation here has
been the round of raising wages
and prices.
The Commerce Department
reports that last year the rise in
wages and salaries came to Z
per cent. adding. adding SIS bill
lion to personal income totals.
Out of that SIS billion, Ameri-
cans have been paying the higher
prices for goods and services that
have sent the cost of living up
3 per cent.

Always Other Fellow

1t is this rise in wages and
prices that the President says the
government must try to control
if business and labor don't do
the job themselves. But while
most people deplore the rise in
the cost of living. the individual
businessman will tell you he had
to raise prices on his own goods,
and the individual worker will
tell you he needs more money
and doesn't think that the rise in
his own paycheck should send
prices up.
It's always: the other fellow
should do 1t.
Talk of government, controls
always comes around to: /. Max
ing money tighter so there won't
be so much of a demand for it by
businessmen to spend-a demand
that tends to hike prices; 2.
Tightening credit terms so that
consumers won't buy so much on
time-a demand that also tends
TO keep prices firm.
Federal Reserve Chairman
Martin says that. If anything,
money hasn't been tight enough.
And he also says that the new
and higher Federal budget will
make the credit controlling job
more difficult"
Businessmen who sell more
and more items on time fear that
any tightening of terms will hurt
that business. It's quite a prob
lem the President has tossed out
for us.

QUEEN MELBA

QUEEN MELBA
ST. Thomians are known for
their hospitality. We have
had much experience in be-
ing host to visitors-to our
thousands of winter tour boat
and hotel vacationers, to some
of the greatest names in poll
tics, science, in art, literature,
in the realms Of business and
commerce, and statesmen and
royalty.
And we don't want, in any
measure, to abstract anything
from our vaunted position as
host in the reception all st.
Thomians will accord to Miss
Melba Canegata, t h e 81
Carnival Queen. Miss Cane
gaia is truly one of the come
ly representatives of the Vir-
gin Islands. We don't want
any incident 0 untoWard
event to mar or discredit the
reception we will give our
reigning queen.
She won the queenly dia-
dem in an election in which
10 participated, and came out
ahead. That, under all recog-
nized rules of law, order ana
democracy, entities the pri-
vileges, prerogatives a n d
rights Of her Office, and we
stand, in fact and in effect, as
good and loyal subjects OF
Queen Melba.
It has always been contend
ed that our high-jinks and

Islands Carnival. Here we
have a queen from our neigh
boring sister island. She is
much one of us; her back
ground is that of the Virgin
Islands, and let us all accord
her the honor and recognition
she deserves.
We truly expect everyone
to acclaim Miss Canegata the
representative Queen of all of
the Virgin Islands. She has
fulfilled all the requirements.
Let us all accept this graci-
ously and Fundamentally
and give to her the homage
due the queen Of our island
wide festival of spring.
Miss Canegata has much to
accredit h e r as Carnival
Queen, outside Of beauty,
poise, and stateliness Of pre-
sence. She was graduated as
valedictorian of her Christian
sted high school class, and as
a graduate of Howard Univer-
sity, came out with the high
est honors. She is now a
teacher of mathematics at
Christiansted, and her consort
is likewise linked as librarian
of the school.
Let us give due recognition
and honor to Queen Melba
who, is truly a Virgin Island
er and due the homage and
respect of all of us. Let no in
cident mar her triumphal
entry into st. Thomas to
claim the crown and to reign
