Editorial
INTERVIEWS FOR BROADCAST

THE OFFICE OF Information has come IN with
something which has been not only a.glaring need. but
which should provide considerable aid to the Govern
ment and the public as whole. This matter Of conduct
ing interviews, and then having the tapes run off for
radio broadcasts is an idea which should be maintained
and developed. While it is by no means new, in other
parts OF the world, the interview technique has not been
used extensively here. It should prove valuable.
THERE IS SIMPLY not enough public participa-
ton in the affairs of our Government. The average citi-
zen is too content to GO about his daily living minding
his own business, and leaving everything else to some
body else. Of course, this is not peculiar to the Virgin
Islands. In the United States one of the big problems at
election time is getting the voters to vote. Some will not
even register. And when an election can show that over
go percent Of the people of a town or city have voted,
this result is considered very commendable.
UTTHIS SHOULD not be a problem with US. The
use of the ballot, wider participation in the affairs of our
government, and an active interest in community pro
grams should be most common in these Islands. Every
condition points favorably to sucha possible result.
THE OFFICE OF Information has a significant role
to play. It can SO conduct its affairs that contributes to
the overall good of both the Government and the people.
1T can create such a climate Of wholesomeness that the
population will be glad to cooperate in whatever way
1t can.
III FIRST OF these broadcast interviews related
to keeping the streets and cutters Of ST. Thomas clean.
This is just the beginning. There will be other matters,
perhaps of equal orleven greater Importance which will
attract the ideas Of leaders in many walks Of life. Their
point Of view, their expressions, and their participation
could be Of help. Something worthwhile has been start
ed. We hope it is kept going.

Can Be Used on
LocuI Bus Line

ALLENTOWN. Pa, July 30
(AP).-Money is losing out to
the credit cards-even on local
buses.
The Lehigh Valley Transit
Co. announced yesterday a
"charge-a fare" plan for bus
rides in this Northeastern
Pennsylvania area.
Passengers may use any of
three types of cards, depending
on the service they want. Each
card has 20 punches. At the
end of the month the rider is
billed for the entire card.
If he has used it all, he pays
81. If not, he can send in 81
and use the remainder, or send
in payment for the number of
rides he's used along with the
card.
A. M. Williams, company

will create bookkeeping prob

Disarmament
Review Set
ByPresident
By the Associated Press

The White House disclosed
yesterday a new study will be
made of this country's disarma-
ment policy.
Charles A. Coolidge, Boston
attorney, will head a joint re-
view of disarmament policy on
behalf of the State and Defense
Departments.
The White House said Mr.
Coolidge's appointment was
made by the State Department
with the approval of President
Eisenhower.
Mr.. Coolidge will be assisted
by a staff selected from the
State and Defense Departments
and other Federal agencies.
The White House said Mr..
Coolidge will consider com
prehensive and partial meas
ureS OF arms control and re-
duction which if internationally
agreed upon would contribute
to United States national secu-
rity detectives.
Pre-eminent among these
detectives, the announcement
said, are reducing the burden
of ornaments and contributing
to achievement of a Just and
durable peace.
THE study will draw on the
experience gained from previous
and current international eff
forts towards these aims" the
statement said.
Mr.. Coolidge, 81, has held
various Government posts in
the past. In 1851 he was
deputy director of interna-
-tional security affairs for the
State Department and in
1872 he served as Assistant
Secretary of Defense for legal
and legislative affairs. In 1855,
Sc and So he served as a spe-
cial assistant to the Secretary
of Defense.

Tire Cutter Tool
Stops Is Autos

ALBANY, Ill, July 80 (AP) il.
- After about Is motorists
pulled off State Route 80 with
fiat tires yesterday. deputy
sheriffs started an investiga-
ton.
They found a carefully
honed cutting tool planted on
the heavily Travelled highway.
The device was 3 inches long
and ~ inches wide. It was
solidly planted about 10 inches
from the highways center line
by a pair of sturdy rods driven
5 inches into the road surface.
Deputy Sheriff Boyd Kim
mel described the trap as "ab-
solutely diabolical."

giving at times the impression
of turning a cold shoulder to
proposals that Mr.. Khrushchev
be invited to visit this country.
This is because he does not
consider the time is right.
Actually, Mr.. Eisenhower is
reported to think it would be a
splendid idea for Mr.. Khru-
Shchev and all his associates in
the Soviet Presidium to come
here and see for themselves
how Americans live, and thus
perhaps correct false impress
sionS of America held by the
men in the Kremlin.
Visit Likely Eventually
1t is more likely than not
that a visit by Mr.. KhruShchev
and at least some other mem
bers of the Soviet ruling clique
will materialize eventually. But
it probably won't be any time
soon.
For one thing, Mr.. EiSen-
hover would not consider in
viting Mr.. Krushchev here at
"a time that would appear to
cut the ground from under
current East-West negotiations
over Berlin and Germany being
conducted by the Big Four
foreign ministers.
In Mr.. Eisenhower's reported
view, too, the way would have
to be prepared by making fully
clear in some tactful manner
to the whole world, including
Soviet satellites and So-called
neutral nations as well as
Americas allies, that a cour-
teouS welcome to the Soviet
Premier did not mean American
acquiescence to Soviet domina-
ton of Eastern Europe and her
lexpansionist policies generally.
The President also is re-
ported to feel that American
public opinion would have to
be prepared for a Khrushchev
