could be legislation which required owners Of houses to
provide for more adequate water supply. The question
of funds could be met by a special program which the
Government could underWrite on a long-term basis.
With each home having a more adequate supply of
water the demand on the public system would be.pro-
portionately lessened.
THEN COMES THE longrange, permanent plans
which would seek to solve the problems from the ground
up, and give us the type of supply which could stem the
tide. Items Of such a program would have to include the
planning, work, and coordination Of experts in forestry
and soil and water conservation. With the present rain
fall, could we conserve a greater amount of water, in
stead Of having so much run off into the sea? Could the
soil be so cultivated as to hold more of the water on. or
near the surface? Could the planting of trees and
III agriculture answer the problems for US?
These are the questions which must be %pondered more
leisurely and deliberately while the short, emergency
plans are being carried out.
AT N RATE, water is at the head Of the list.
That is what the Governor said, and we must take for
granted that he would start right here, and make sure
that water does get the priority. It is excellent planning,
and everyone wholly endorses it.

~WATER-NUMBER ONE ITEM

WAIER-NUMBE ONE ITEM
IN SETTING WATER as the number one item Of
concern for the welfare Of these Islands, Governor
MerWin hit the nail on the head. and shows that he has
an awareness Of the situation which should convince
one and all that the government is in good hands.
BUT WHAT ABOUT water2 It is the greatest sin
gle need, Of course. But what beyond that? How can we
secure an adequate supply of potable water? How can
we insure that the drought, or dry, season does not find
us in the same position year after year? What can be
done, and how, to guarantee that the tourist trade
does not suffer because Of this lack Of water which is
SO necessary for that trade?
HI ANSWERS R not easy, nor can they be
solved in short order. Of course, the problem is so ur-
gent that all possible time and effort should be given to
it. Any solution will have to be in two parts: ID the inn
mediate, and ~ the long-range, more thorough and
deliberate.
SINCE WATER WILL always be a problem, and
since its use is top priority, especially in St. Thomas, a
stop-gap, quickie program must be instituted and al
ways held in readiness to be pressed into service. Along
this line the distillation plan may be set up for emer-
gency or near emergency use. Already there are plans
afoot to have just such a plant in st. Thomas, with the
Virgin Islands Corporation being responsible for its
operation. Whether such a plant can be depended upon
to provide all the needs all the time may be question
which only careful planning can answer However, a
good, workable, and efficient plant, large enough to
meet this need could be the answer.
OTHER PLANS Q Immediate operation and
follow through might be the building Of larger catch
ment areas and reservoirs which could store greater
quantities, and thus have water for use when needed.
This could also ease the pressure on the distillation
plant.

rules minority rules and dozens
of special rules in between.
As a very general proposition.
though, landlords are under q
duty to warn tenants mainly
of latent dangers; i.e., dangers
the landlord knows about but
which are not discernible to
the tenant upon ordinary In
spection Of the premises. Other
wise tenants are expected to
look out for themselves. at
least to the extent Of making
a reasonable survey Of the
domicile and noting obvious
defects or dangers.
One important court deci-
sion has stated the law this
way: Where the condition Of
the premises Is as apparent 70

spection as to the lessor. there
Is no duty ton the lessor. or
landlord) Of disclosure" that
is, to call attention to possible
trouble-making features.
Sight Variations Important
AS a practical matter, while
a majority Of jurisdictions seem
to make it tough on tenants to
collect in such cases. a fair
sized minority are inclined to
be pretty stern with the land
lord too. Moreover. q slight
variation in the facts Of a case
may make a big difference in
the result.
None Of the foregoing is in
tended as commentary on the
Davis case itself nor to reflect
on its merits or dement's.
Neither are we talking about
cases Of intentional conceal
ment Of dangers or defects on
the part Of the landlord. That's
a horse Of another color. one
which often shows up as q
sickly green on sued landlords.

SECURITY
Health Plan
Opposed
BY ANA
By RAY HENRY


The American Medical Asso-
citation has told its members
to get ready to fight q proposal
to add q health insurance pro-
gram to social security.
The proposal, in q bill now
before Congress, has the strong
backing Of the AFL-CIO
Whether the bill has q chance
Of being passed this year il
strictly q guess.
The AMA's warning about the
bill went to its 10000 doctors
last week in q private letter
from President David B. ALI
man.
Every physician" DR.. ALI
man said. "must be prepared ia
oppose this bill vigorously and
be ready to make his views
known to Congress should that
become necessary"
Besides this alert, the letter
attacked the bill as ill-con-
ceived, bad legislation and not
In the public interest.
Sponsor Replies
Commenting on the letter,
Representative Forand, Demo-
crat Of Rhode Island, who put
the bill before Congress. said
II ind. as usual, that the
ANA is opposing health legis-
lation but offering nothing "a
an alternative to solve the medi-
cal problems of older people.
If DR.. Altman and his group
have any constructive criticism,
I hope they'll give it to Con-
greSs."
A hint. however. that the
ANA may be planning an
alternative was contained in
DR.. Allman's letter. He told the
doctors:
Some Of the most important
and respected organizations In
the health field are preparing
a program which will lead to-
ward solution Of the problems
Of health care for the aged.
Announcementof this construc-
tive plan will be made soon"
Committee to Consider Plan
No doubt the AAIA's letter
is designed to set the stage for
bringing the pressure Of the
country's doctors on the Ways
and Means Committee of the
House. The committee Is ex-
pected early next month to
start considering changes in
social security, including the
health insurance proposal.
And the letter Is no doubt
designed to try to offset the
pressure Of the AFL-CIO to get
the bill passed.
In attacking the specifics Of
Mr.. Forand's bill, DR.. Altman
said. among other things, that
the bill. If passed. would "even-
tually destroy private health
insurance; could bankrupt
the entire social security pro-
gram; would bring the aged
under Government controlled
and supervised health care"
and would mean higher taxes
and less take.home pay for all
wage earners for the benefit Of
a minority"
Provisions Of Bill
In general. Mr.. Forand's
health insurance proposal
would:S
!. Provide health insurance
to cover certain hospital. nurs-
ing home and surgical needs Of
persons collecting social secur-
ity. The coverage would 60 to

ity rolls as well as those who
