flip Of a coin.
These were three strange
partners in testing a technique
against cancer. First indica-
tions are promising.
Signs Of success Of the tech
nique In treating breast cancer
were reported by DR.. Warren
Cole at this weeks American
Cancer Society seminar on con-
Ger research and progress.
The test was begun more than
three years ago. DR.. Cole and
his colleagues wanted to try
Q powerful poison. nitrogen
mustard, with surgery against

Nitrogen mustard, a cousin
to the poison gas Of World War

To control or compare the
method properly, Only half of
the women participating in the
test got nitrogen mustard treat

operation. A flip Of the coin

DR.. Cole said cancer has re-

Other chemical compounds

also can be used.

The appraisal Of our top

are busy trying to find ways
and means to avoid q clash

proceed methodically in tax
ing over the oil-rich Iraqi

sem became an easy tool in

The anti Communist Mosul
uprisings Of a few weeks ago

observers on the spot to the
work Of Soviet agents. gave
q perfect excuse to the Iraqi
Communists to establish in
that country a regime totally
subservient to the Kremlin.
But the eventual control Of
the rich oil resources in the
Kirkuk-Mosul area is only of
secondary Importance to the
Soviet rulers. They want to
take over Iran politically and
economically in the same way
they have taken over Iraq.
That republic is expected to
serve only as q springboard

There appears to be no

because it continues to be-

Looking At Washington
DEBT LIMIT UP

DEBT LIMIT UP
Congress recently sent President
Eisenhower, at his request, bill
which would increase the national
debt limit to $295 billion. The old
debt limit had been 1888 billion.
The new ceiling is temporary,
but this has meant little in past
years. For example, the 1888 bill
lion ceiling which was in effect UNI
Til the new limit was passed, would
have expired and the ceiling would
have dropped to $3.50 billion on
July LIST. t ~
Congress, instead of allowing the
ceiling to go back down, was fore
ed to increase it. The new debt
limit is the highest in the history
of the United States in peacetime,
and with interest rates what they
are, and with the government using
much short-term financing, means
that the American people will be
paying somewhere in the neigh
borhood of So billion interest an
nually.
We think every tax-paying citi-
zen should consider this huge i'm
terest burden and understand it. 1t
means that of our approximately
$40 billion budget, more than ten
percent of it, or So billion, must be
paid out just to carry the interest
load on the billions we have bor-
rowed, and still owe.
We are paying back nothing on
the national debt, most years, and
therefore this interest burden is
something which is a steady drain
and for which there Is no hope of
termination.
THE FLORIDA PRIMARY
The announcement-first made
by this newspapers Washington
bureau-that Senator John Ken
nedy had given the green light to
Senator George Smathers to run
in the Florida presidential pri-
mary is of more political impor-
lance than some may realize.
Only a short time ago Senator
Kennedy, long considered the from:
runner in the competition for the
Democratic presidential nomina
ton, had said. he would consider l.
a slap in the face If anyone came
out against him in Florida. Thi
was strong language. Kennedy hat
reason to think he would do vel
there, and he wanted to hang up al
impressive victory in the South t.
add momentum to his candidacy.
Kennedy's announcement make
it clear that the Massachusetts, Sen
ator realized he was losing hi
battle to keep a Florida native sol
of the ballot. Had not Smather
taken the post, perhaps Senate
Spessard Holland would have. Ant
Holland would have wound up sup
porting Lyndon Johnson, the onl,
Southerner who has chance to ge
the party's top nomination.
So Kennedy threw in the towe
on his effort to keep strong meI
out of the Florida primary. Sma

win the Florida primary, it seem:
all but certain. The Florida dele

VA Attorney Has
Been Appointed

He hasn't been named Father of
the Year yet, but William M. Eaton
who has just been appointed Chief
Attorney for the Wilmington reg
ional Veterans Administration Of
flee, has family" of approximate
ly 500 sons and daughters.
Like any dutiful father, he is
concerned with their spending
money.
His family" has quite a bit of
money-a little more than 1921, 10000.
His family" consists of incom-
peteDt veterans, as well as the
children and dependents of some
war veterans.
He has the very essential job of
making certain that nothing i'm
proper happens to these funds.
The sum represents savings as
well as disability compensation
payments accumulated over the
years.
Legally, the veterans and depen-
dents are his wards. His task is to
make certain that government
checks are used only for the per-
sonal needs of the veteran; or for
the welfare of his dependents.
He oversees the payment of the
household expenses of the families
of incompetent veterans. He APP
proves the spending OF funds to
provide shelter, food. fuel and
clothing.
The VA doesn't act in the capac-
ity Of a guardian. But 1t does take
a healthy interest in those appoint
ed to act in that capacity.
The guardian may be an individ-
ual, or bank.
They are permitted to make GER
tain investments from the estate
they are empowered to handle.
Periodic checks are made of the
holdings.
The guardian or bank is per-
mitted to earn as much as 5 per-
cent of the monies it administers
Veterans in institutions who have
dependents may have a member of
their family named as guardian.
These appointments, however,
are subject tf> the immediate SUI
pervision OF the VA chief attorney.
Mr.. Eaton's family gives him
little trouble. They stay within the
limits of the allowances he ap-
proves.
The newest staff member of the
VA Regional Office was born at
Hudson, New York on April 10,
1905. He received his primary edu-
cation at St. Mary's Academy,
Hudson and is a graduate OF Will
anova College and Albany Law
School. He was admitted to the
New York State Bar in 1929; Fed
eral Court, South District New
York in 1854 and North District
New York in 1947. He served as
City Judge and Corporation Coun-
sci for Hudson, New York.
Mr.. Eaton is married to the for
mer Louise X. Hester. He served
in the United States Army, from
1943 to 1916 and has been with the
Albany Regional Office of the Vet
Grams Administration since 1915.

WELCOME, SENATOR HUMPHREY

WELCOME, SENATOR HUMPHREY
THE PEOPLE OF St. Croix welcome Senator HUI
bert Humphrey Of Minnesota.
SENATOR HUMPHREY is not just another distin-
guished visitor. He is we'll known and widely travelled
member of the Senate, one whose voice has been raised
for right and justice, and who is considered one Of the
strongest candidates for the nomination for Presidency
from his Party. Nor is this accidental. Senator Hum
'phrey has won the respect and admiration of the people
of his home State, the Congress, and the world
LAST E. he visited at length with the Russian
Premier and received first hand a view and understand
ing Of the workings Of the Soviet mind. True, this could
not have been complete, or even extensive, but it was
more than had been had by many others. Proof Of the
fact that Senator Humphrey was on the right track
came when the Soviet press strongly attacked his inter
probation of things he had seen there.
BUT WE IN these Islands, and particularly
st. Croix, have an even closer tie to this distinguished
Senator. On his professional staff is a native of St. Croix
King. Starting on the secretarial level on the
Senator's staff, young King worked up to professional
status, and has sung the praises Of his boss through the
years. It is clear, therefore, that the people of these Is
lands would see IN Senator Humphrey the possibility OF
developing real friendship, and in knowing that when
the chips are down this man will stand up and be count
ed. Such friends in the Senate are worth more than
anything else.
IT IS THE HOPE Of everyone that the Senator will
see and enjoy as much Of st. Croix as possible, that
many will seek to meet the Senator, and give him first
hand an idea Of the picture here. While it is true that

shall be only less happy than he himself.
