Outlook!
Hogs

Watch for some unsettled
prices on the hog market for
the next week or so. After that
further strength is in sight.
Spring farrowings. which had
previously been reported as a
II per cent cutback. materially
ed into a Is per cent decrease.
This Is 10 per cent below aver
age. Fall farrowings. based on
breeding intentions. are now re-
ported at four per cent less than
last year but nine per cent great
er than average.
The corn belt states reported
a pig inventory on March |
COMPARED to a year earlier of
one per cent less in the three
to six months age group and IS
per cent less in those under
three months. This latter group
will be moving to market this
summer.
Looking ahead there is a note
of optimism for the man pro-
ducing hogs. But there will also
be some stiffening competition
from other meats.
And keep this in mind too
rushing underweight PCS to
market doesn't pay and it's
definitely to your disadvantage
now. Hold until they reach the
1870 to 225 range.
In Virginia last week hog
prices were unchanged to Is
cents higher than the previous
week. Richmond hogs were
ranging from SITS to $l825.
Southeastern Virginia hogs were
mostly SIPS to SITS. Western
markets ranged from $3.50 to
$3.50 and Baltimore hogs were
$18.25 to $18.75.
Tomatoes
Prospects for Virginia toma-
toes on the fresh market look
better than last year. Florida
tomatoes which had been hitting
the market strong during tn
past several weeks are nearly
finished. States which are Vir-
ginia's main competitors have
cut their acreage rather sharply.

DEAR ABBY: Our pastors
wife died a few months ago
and the whole town is rum
ming after him to help him
replace her. He's in his early
fifties and seems interested
in a pretty little school
teacher who is 33. She has
never been married and
would make him a good wife.
The problem is she has an
older sister who has never
been married, either. She is
38 and gives piano lessons.
The 38'er wants this pastor
very much, but I think the
pastor prefers the 33'er. I'm
sure the 33'er would grab the
pastor fast if her sister
weren't in the running. The
town is divided. Who should
get him? Some say the 38'er,
as it may be her last chance.
We'd like your opinion.
FRIENDS OF BOTH
The town should stay out
Of it. The pastor should
court whom he wishes. And
the sisters should wait to see
which iii either he selects.

guy but he was tagged for
speeding twice and was cited

Nothing whatever of this nature has been done or APP
pears likely to be.
Pr. 4. flessee shall, with the APPROVAL OF THE
GOVERNMENT, have the right to assign any or all
of its rights etc.
Government approval was not solicited IN the pro-
posed assignment of lease.
PIP. 6. lessee. agrees that the total investment IN
the conversion and development of the property will
exceed $500, 900"
To date with practically no investment made during
a 5-year period, lessee's intentions hardly point to
ful6llment Of this provision.
PIP. 4. lessee further agree" to submit all plans for
the conversion of the hospital facilities to the Govern
ment for its approval, and the conversion shall begin
within 6 months from date Jan. &, 1859.
Plans were not submitted to the Government on the
conversion. Of the present dwellings. These CONVEX
sions were made by the tenants themselves, as requir-
ed in their leases. Further, up until our interest in the
property only 2 dwellings were leased.
1t would seem very much in the Governments inter-
est to re-appraise the situation and to weigh the fac
tors on the basis of what would be the best interest OF
st. Croix. We would certainly prefer to pay the
$4,000 plus $500 per month, or whatever is request
ed, to the Municipality. West Indies has defaulted not
only to us but to the Municipality. 1t would appear
that their only interest is to turn a fast, easy dollar.
In contrast, we are prepared to begin conversion at
once, and plan at the start, to spend approximately
100000 on rehabilitation Of present buildings and
general improvement OF the property. Additional
dwelling units would be added in the reasonable flu
ture. We can and would follow the provisions set by
the Government to the letter.
Under the circumstances we believe the Government
will wish to look into the matter. No embarrassment
to the Administration is intended but it has been
pointed out to our group that some irregularity is evi-
dent and we feel the matter warrants your attention.
Your consideration will be deeply appreciated.
Yours most sincerely,

Dear Senator Hodge:
AS President Of the Legislature, we respectfully bring q
situation to your attention which threatens to become 4
matter Of litigation and publicity that could reflect IN
favorably on the Islands Administration.
Let me identify ourselves. We are a group OF newspaper
people and other professionals who know the Islands and
enjoy them. We are interested not only in making a imam
cial investment in them, but intend to devote our not IN
considerable talents to the promotion OF tourlSm and bust
ness there. We hopet to contribute in many real ways to
civic and community life. The reason for this letter is to
acquaint you with our experience with a Company whose
business ethics are undeniably questionable.
In January 1855, on the premise that It would result In
conversion Of present buildings into apartments and new
dwelling construction, the Administrator OF st. Cro1x
leased the former Municipal Hospital Peters FARM and
GO acres Of adjacent land to the St. Croix Development
Corporation Irwin w. Silyerman, PRESIDENT. The lease
term was for 80 years at $500 per month.
In November 1858 we were advised the buildings and 10
acres of the land were for lease. The price was $4,000
cash plus 5000 per month, for. 26 years Lessor was Sidney
Lee, president of the West Indies Investment Co, OF Dallas,
Texas.
e paid West Indies $4,000 to secure the option early IN
January 1859. AT the stipulated date Of Decenber10,
1859, the remaining $4,000 was deposited in escrow BY
our attorney at a St. Croix bank. The lease with our no
tarized signatures was forwarded to Mr.. Lee in Texas.
Four months have passed and West Indies Corporation mas
no intention Of co~nsummating the transaction. La addition,
they refuse to refund the $4,000 we originally paid them.
We are preparing to bring suit.
In the light Of what has occurred, we respectfully petluon
the Government to review it's lease with the st. Cro1x
Development Corp. The Corporation has ignored the obi
cations it agreed to assume and it is surprising that no
investigation has ever been made in the 5 years they've
held the lease. The lack Of progress by the lessee is tanta-
mount to a breach Of contract.
SPECIFICALLY:
PIP. /. l) arehabiitate and convert the existing
structures into as many K~ITCHENETTE APART
MENT dwelling units as may be practicable"
By no stretch Of the imagination can the present
dwellings be called kitchenette apartments. In fact,
any one of the present dwellings could be made into
2, 3 or 4 apartments.

dual homes, for resale, and as many rental apartment
dwelling units on the land adjoining the Hospital
grounds as may be practicable

Former Federal Communica-

been about the extent of the
instructions sent down by Cape
Canaveral. The trip was later
cut to 31a hours by eliminating
a luncheon. and finally to 3H
hours by spinning the convoy's
wheels a little faster.
A prime purpose of the tour
seemed to be to secure photo
graphs Of Mr.. Eisenhower in
front Of some missiles.
In the original tour plan
photographers we're given am
pie opportunity to take pic
lures, but writer's were not
granted an equal chance to
observe. This plan broke down,
however.
Devil-May-Care Air
The whole thing had a gala,
devil-may-care air about it.
Had the President wished to
inspect a war-ready missile
base, Cape Canaveral is about
the last place in the world he
should have gone. No shot has
ever been-or will ever be
fired in anger from there. 1t
is a test base, pure and simple.
Its relationship to actual COM
bat bases is about equivalent to
General Motors test tracks
relationship to a great metro
politan freeway.
For a meaningful briefing
and an actual feel for missile
base operations, Mr.. Eisen-
hover should have gone to
some such place as Vanden-
berg Air Force Base. Calf. He
might have done so last month
while on the West Coast for
the Dinner With Ike" at Los
Angeles. It would have inter-
rupted his trip for less than
the 6 hours and Al minutes
total elapsed time of his
absence from Washington yes
terday.
At any event it is unthink-
able that the President needs

far as increasing his grasp Of
either science or missilery was
g concerned, Mr.. Eisenhower
could have learned as much by
staying at home and being
briefed, or by looking at any
Of a spate of recent picture
books on the Florida missile
site.
About the only thing Of any
national consequence that oc-
Cured was a breach Of mill
tary security. The effect OF
this was to spread among per-
haps two-score reporters in
formation about the Polaris
missile that had been known
earlier to a relative few on a
confidential basis.
Bobble Almost Inevitable
The security leak was Moth
ing more or less than a bobble
of the sort almost inevitable
In a hastily arranged trip like
that Mr.. Eisenhower took yes

tumble was covered up re-

its import is a matter OF
opinion.
But the leak was important
as a symptom characteristic Of
what happens when news is
created, or managed" for
reasons that apparently have
little to do with the national
welfare.
President Eisenhower's trip
to Canaveral was whipped up
on the spur of the moment.
Some Of the White House aides
who normally are "cut in" on
trips far in advance say they
did not know about this one
until "a hours before the Presi-
dent left for Florida.
This was just about the same
time officials at the Cape were
notified of the forthcoming
trip, and one hour before re-
porters were called in by White
