for the weary as Congress began
moving into the new session.
Hot on the heels of the civil
rights flare-up was the Presidents
controversial Middle East proposal.
AS the President addressed a
Joint session Saturday, Southern
Democrats sat grim faced.
The President had asked f. a
blank check, and the Democrats
were leary about signing some
thing that might bounce.
Many of them felt, as Senator
Scott feels, that Secretary of State
Dulles and the President himself
have been too wishy washy about
United States policy in that area
of the world. To a large degree,
Scott feels, the uncertainty of the
policy made it necessary for the
President to ask for what is really
unnecessary authority.

After Mr.. Daniels retire

Ulysses Howell of St. Croix,

Vicorp President Says
Drought Threatens
Sugurcune Crop

1ll6I ID oDAC PAH
lie concern and interest in the
serious drought which Saint
Croix is experiencing, particu-
larly with respect to its effect
on the forthcoming sugarcane
crop.
The President of the Virgin
Islands Corporation stated
that it was still far too early
to place a dollar value on the
probable loss to the Corpora
ton in its sugarcane operation
as a result of the drought. In
general, the crop is far behind
normal expectancy, and in
certain areas it will possibly
be a complete failure. Final
results will depend upon
weather conditions over the
next 6 to 8 weeks. Several
inches of well distributed rain
over this period would un
doubtedly do a lot to improve
the crop and might at least
prevent a disaster. Rainfall
has been deficient in a major
portion of the lands in sugar
cane cultivation by the Corpo-
ration. The drought has also
seriously affected the 1859
plant cane crop due to a scar
city of satisfactory planting
material d insufficient
moisture for good germina-
ton of plant seed.

TIME JAMS, members of an unortho-
Il dox Hindu sect, refuse to take life
of any kind. Many Of them even
wear masks so they will not breathe
in, and thereby kill. insects!
Jainism was founded in the 9Th
century BIC. by Vardhamana, royal
prince, who at the age of 80. COM
pletely abandoned his crown and
lived for the rest of his life poverty
stricken ascetic. Today there are
around million Jains in India. (The
picture below shows one of their tenn
piles in Calcutta
An interesting custom which has
developed: Many of the wealthy Jains
hire men to lie in their beds for a few
hours in the evening so that later
when they themselves retire the bed
bugs will no longer be hungry
