duce legislation whereby the minimum retirement for
those who retired before the present act shall be not less
than at least $4,000 per month.
Our present Pay Plan does not afford our government
workers a living wage. It is unrealistic, unfair and intol
cradle.
We propose a major revision Of this law to bring the sal
aries of our governmental employees in line with the reali-
ties OF today's cost OF living.
Under the existing law there is no provision setting
forth a program for the disqualification and medical treat
ment of government workers and their families.
We propose the enactment Of legislation authorizing
the participation of such workers, on a purely voluntary
basis, in the Blue Cross plan. Under this tested system,
which has been in operation in many other states over a
considerable number of years, there will be made avail
able to our governmental personnel, at a fraction Of nor
NAL cost, a comprehensive form of health insurance.
Your Democratic Senators believe that one Of the
most neglected in the field of housing is that of middle in
come home construction. Throughout the Virgin Islands
there exists an alarming shortage OF adequate housing for
persons who fit neither in the category OF those eligible for
low cost public housing accommodations, on the one hand
nor, on the other hand, who are in the income group with
ability to construct their own homes. A very large seq
ment Of our population, which falls in between the stand
ards of high income ability or low income need for public
housing, thus find themselves in the position Of being COM
PEELED to live in sub-standard or crowded dwellings, or
compelled to pay extremely high r~entalsfor the relatively
few houses of adequate construction available from pi-
vate enterprise or owners.
Mr.. President, we propose legislation to permit the
cOnQucClnS Q rallies dLu SlLIIdI gaines II COlllGGIIJH
with church bazaars for charities which at present fall
within the general prohibition against games Of chance.
We also propose to authorize cockaghting, as a sports ach-
vity greatly favored by our many citizens OF Puerto Rican
origin. These sorts Of activities, we believe, under strict
governmental supervision and controlled by permits, will
have the support. -four overwhelming majority Of our c-
items who at the same time are opposed to large-scale
gambling.
Oar program for this session includes a number Of
specific proposals for the Individual islands.

building and expansion, roads development and other pub
lie improvements throughout our Virgin Islands.
For the island Of St. John we propose these items,
among others:
improvements to the Julius E. Sprauve School, in
Guiding construction of basket ball, tennis, and base
ball facilities.

THE ST. Ct
has on it as much as 3 percent tax, since it is taxed at
every transaction from its arrival in the island until it
meets the consumer. This means that much OF the food
consumed in paying a tax OF 3 cents on the dollar.
Now, in a community where food cost is already high
because Of high freight rates from the mainland, practical
~ at the present time no production OF food locally, and
the small buying. capacity of importers, it seems to US to
be almost criminal to Worsen the conditions for the poor
est people in the island, by aSsesSlngsthem an extra three
percent on their food bill
If the Treasury Of the Virgin Islands W + e
hard up for income, if the islands economy were on
the brink Of bankruptcy, then there might be
II g u m e mt to obtain income from almost
any kind Of taxation including a tax on food. How
ever, when there is a stable surplus IN the Treasury,
surely, then, it is time to withdraw a food tax. Some PEG
pie might argue that the islands are enjoying general pros
perity and that the people can afford to pay a tax on food.
This might very well be true for a certain part OF the popu-
lation, but since a tax on food hits the poorest people hard
est, then these arguments do not hold water. All our older
people who barely exist on their incomes, the country pop
ulation who have a low income, & families with many chill
dren really suffer from this tax on food. A major part OF
their expense is for their daily bread, and for this hard
earned bread, our Government taxes these poor people an
extra tax of up to three cents in the dollar, day ~ and day
QUIT amounts to quite a bit OF money at the end OF a
year. For each and every one OF them we feel that our
Government can well afford to do without taxing the daily
meal of its people-that the income for the Government
from. this tax amounts to only a small percent OF its total
budget income.
We are, therefore, Mr.. President proposing that the
Internal Revenue Bill be amended to eliminate complete
~ the tax on food in any shape or form.
The conditions under which our senior citizens who
must depend on a small monthly welfare check are forced
to live must be improved. We demand an increase OF that
portion Of the budget which goes to help the needy, the
burdened, and the helpless OF our islands. The conscience
Of our island citizenry must support US in this. We also
urge that the Administration move with all haste to secure
from the department Of agriculture in Washington those
surplus commodities such as flour, rice cornmeal' lara
and milk which are made available to the needy elsewhere
under our flag. If the Administration persists in the con
tention that the Virgin Islands government cannot afford
to give our needy enough to buy food, then, certainly the
least than the administration can do is secure that food
that is available for this purpose from the federal govern
ment. And, again, Mr.. President, regarding our senior cltl-
zens. we must raise the retirement benefits paid to those
faithful government employees who were retired prior 70
our present law. There are many who have served long

THAT'S LIFE

BERKELEY, Calf, R Frank Ziegler, 63, winner of a $140,000 Irish sweepstakes prize last June, didn't trust himself to handle a lot of money.
 So the janitor at the Oakland Tribune went before a Superior Court judge last July 20 to ask help in managing his $40,000 net after income taxes. The judge named the Crocker-Anglo Nation al Bank as his guardian.
 Sept. g Ziegler fell on a side walk and suffered a skull frac- ture. He developed bronchial pneumonia and died Thursday night.
 The $40,0O0 of which Ziegler had not spent penny, probably will go to three nieces, his only known survivors.

MIMI Hospital Holds Accredited Status

The Maynard-McDougall Mem orial Hospital which has held the distinction of being the only one doctor hospital in Alaska to be fully accredited since it was open ed with Dr. F. Langsam as admin istrator and doctor, received word yesterday that it has again quail fled for this distinct honor, stated the administrator Robert Reed.
 Since that time the doctor has been relieved of administering the hospital and a full-time adminis- trator placed in charge.
 Another improvement indicated for the needs of the people the hospital serves is increasing the staff to two doctors.
