WATER, NO.. l PROBLEM
0 MANY, ANY years, this paper, for one, has been
h%ammering away at the great need for a comprehensive pro-
gram OF water and soil conservation. In his first official trip to
Washington since his Inauguration, Governor Paiewonsky
announced that he would seek to contact Department Of Agri-
culture officials.
AT GREAT RISK Of being accused Of I told-you-so-ism
we nevertheless remind those serious readers that these points
were being hammered away years ago. If, for example, we had
carried out even a simple tree-planting program, the recent
flood would nothave caused such damage, the soil would have
retained its water, and there would therefore not have been
such extreme run-off.
FOR THESE VIRGIN Islands, agriculture, and allied
enterprises must become Of the highest possible importance.
For years it has been treated as a secondary matter, forgetting
that an entire population cannot live on the Government, di,
rectly or indirectly. Now that the tourist trade has come, we
continue to put all ourseggs in one basket, relying almost en-
trey on what the tourist will bring. That is dangerous, too
dangerous, to even think about. Tourism, while stable to a GER
tain extent, can change almost in an instant.
IS TIME THAT we get on with our business of trying
to be self-supporting in every way, and one of those ways is
providing all the food we can, and the water we need for hui
man use, on and off the farms. Imagine, that with the tourist
trade what ii til we are still far from announcing a master blue
print for the water solution.
IT is ALREADY late, but for heavens sake let it be no
later. Oldtmers tell us Of the time when Recovery Hill, for
example, produced fruits of all kinds, when the @gut" ran all
year, when boys fished in the streams running along Parade
Ground, when all the wells in this town were providing water.
Today all our hilsides are nothing but grass. The trees have
gone, and with them the water in the streams and springs. Yet,
in days gone by this Island had many more citizens than
today.
WE CAN WAIT no longer. True, We can import food
clothing, feed for animals, and even water. But the time is
running out, and unless some very serious effort is made we
shall find ourselves in a most precarious position one from
which we may not be able to wrest ourselves.

Lake George Breakup
 Floods Glenn Highway

ANCHORAGE tR - Through traffic on the Glenn Highway be- tween Anchorage and Palmer was shut down during the night due to flooding conditions of the Knik River.
 The highway was closed be- tween mile 30 and mile 39 after high water inundated the road way at four places.
 The high water was caused by the big run-off from the annual Lake George breakup. The high way closure was ordered by the State Highway Dept. in order to prevent any structural damage to the heavily travelled roadway.
 The crest of the run-off is ex- pected to be reached later today.

Nixon Urges US.
 To Support Kennedy On the Berlin Crisis

LOS ANGELES lR - Former Vice President Richard Nixon to- day asked all Americans to SUD- port President Kennedy's program for dealing with the Berlin crisis.
 Then he urged this four-point follow-up:
 l. Stop Castro's outlaw opera tions in the Americas"
 2. Break the Soviet filibuster on atomic testing"
 3. Put some backbone into Americas fight against admit ting Red China to the United Ma tions."
 4. "Shelve all new spending programs not directly necessary for national defense"
 Nixon, defeated by Kennedy in the last Presidential election, is now a Los Angeles lawyer. Many still regard him as the nations top Republican. His formal state ment today said:
 Only this kind of firm policy in dealing with the Communists has chance to keep the peace without surrender"
 He concluded:
 "Action on these fronts is es- sential to protect our security at home and will help regain the initiative for American leadership abroad"

JFK Wants S3.454 Billion More for Military Spending

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy today called on Congress for $3.454 billion of new military and home defense spending that will push this years red-ink bud get to a peace time record outlay of $8773 billion.
 If Congress approves - and legislators seemed to be in the mood to vote billions for defense - the deficit would rise to figure estimated officially at ''more than $5 billion"
 Kennedy's warning last night - that he will ask a tax increase next year if necessary to keep strictly in balance" the fiscal 1863 budget, starting next July 1 - was not repeated in today's brief, unadorned recital of fiscal bad news.
 There was a prospect the deficit will be ballooned into an even higher figure than Kennedy set.
 It was raised by the staff of the joint Senate-House Commit tee on internal revenue taxation in a report issued almost simul- taneously with Kennedy's new money request.
