Soviet Remains Silent

Russia kept silent during
yesterdays debate on the APP
peal put forth by Canada, Den
mark. Sweden. Japan, Iceland
and Norway. Diplomats spec
ulated. however. that the So
VETS might reject it on grounds
that the tests concerned only
the Soviet Union.
That's about the only way
they could oppose it." said one
delegate. The sponsors called
for top priority on the appeal
: to get it to Premier Khru-
shchev before Russia goes
through with plans for the So
megaton blast scheduled by &C.
tober 81.
A group Of Asian-African
nations. including Ethiopia.
Ghana. Sudan and Nepal is be-
hind the move to broaden the
resolution into an appeal to
all atomic powers to refrain
from tests.
Some delegates opposed
widening the scope of the reso-
luton to embrace all tests for
fear it would lose its impact.
Others felt it would remove the
sting from the original draft
and lessen chances of Commu-
mist opposition.
Refused to Accept II
Canadian Foreign Minister
Howard Green said his office
had tried to deliver a protest
against the blast plan to the
Soviet Embassy in Ottawa. He
said Soviet officials refused to
accept it. asserting the ques-
ton was an internal one.
Mr.. Green asserted that fall
out knows no boundaries and if
the explosion takes place. 1T
will signify contempt for the
resolutions of the United Ma
tions."
Per Haekkerup of Denmark
told the Political Committee.
which is debating nuclear tests,
that Mr.. KhruShchev an
nounced the super bomb plan
for one purpose: ITO enhance
the fears and concern of our
already harassed peoples"
Can any statesmen take the
responsibility for carrying out
such a test explosion with the
risk it involves to mankind
only in order to offer unneces-
sary proof of his country's
strength" he demanded.
Mr.. Haekkerup declared So
Wet fears of Western aggression
could never justify the explo-
sion of this monster bomb"
That would serve no scien-
tific or defensive purpose" he
said,
midas B. N. Chakravarty,
who opposed placing a priority
label on the resolution, said he
saw a loophole in it. Mr.. Chalk
ravarty noted that it covered
only 50-megaton bombs and
questioned whether the commit
tee would approve if the So
Wet Union set off 49-megaton
device.

Dual Role

POINT ARGUELLO, Calf,
Oct. 81 (AP) "A Midas missile
alarm satellite rocketed into a
2,100-mile-high orbit today and
Spewed out $50 million tiny
copper needles designed to
spread into a giant radio-re-
Elective belt around the earth.
If successful, the experiment
will place in space a smile
wide band of hair-like reflectors
which scientists can use to
bounce radio waves half way
around the world on frequen-
cies not now available.
The Air Force said Midas 4
elected the needles shortly,
after going into an almost cir
cular orbit 2,100 miles high,
completing the 30,OOO-mile cir
cult once every two hours So
minutes.
1t may be three to four days
before radar can determine
how we'll the needles, invisible
from the ground, followed the
planned pattern of dispersal in
space
Infra Red Eve
The Midas satellites carry an
mira red eye able to detect the
the heat of a ballistic missiles
exhaust seconds after launch.
Some astronomers have OPP
posed the experiment on the
grounds that if the needles 60
awry in space they could inter-
fere with optical and radio OBJ
servations Of the stars, or even
damage satellites.
Despite the controversy, APP
proval for the test was given
earlier this month by President
Kennedy's scientific adviser,
Dr.. Jerome B. Wiesner.
The tiny needles, each TO
OF an inch long and one third
the thickness Of a human hair,
were in a 6-by-20-inch cylinder
in the tail section of the 30
foot long Midas.
The 98-foot Atlas Aeena
combination roared upward at
1888 a m. edit. Ground OBJ
servers lost it seconds later in
the 500-foot overcast.
The firing was a spectacular
one as the missiles flames re-
Elected from the overcast and
lighted up the countryside.
Small Portion of Load
The can of needles was
small portion of the payload Of
the Midas satellite, fourth
launched in an effort to per-
feet a means of detecting mis-
sile firings from space. Only
Midas III was successful.
Officials said there was no
relation between the Midas and
the needle experiment, called
Project West Ford. The pack
age was put in Midas simply
because the satellite was going
into a high orbit and had space
available.
After one successful expert
ment, scientists may try to put
up another radio-reflective
band around the equator.
These two bands, officials said,
would permit worldwide radio
transmission on frequencies

ANSWER MAY certainly lie in a master plan. In

are going what is our ultimate goal and how to achieve that

WHAT ABOUT H MASTER PLANP
Blythe WAY, WHAT ever happened to the master plan
for the Virgin Islands?
AT THE RISK o. repeating ourselves, this column has
long cIamored for a blueprint for the social and economic de-
v~elopment of these Islands. 1t is one thing for officials to come
and 90, each putting in his ideas bit by bit. It is another
thing, however, to have a genuine plan to which each official
could make a real contribution.
SOMETIME ACC there was talk about a master plan
Where is it? Who has iP What does it say? What does it pro-
pose to do? IF these questions can be answered, then, for hea-
ven sake, let thereSbe some word about il, and the earlier the
better.
BUT WHY ORR or even talk about a master plant
The answer should be clear. As Of now, these Islands do not
support themselves the way they should. Our standard OF iv
ing leaves much to be desired, and there is a tremendous
amount Of work to be done in practically every area of our
public life. Hit-andmiss measures will never work. We have
tried that many years, and the proof is right before our eyes
A FOR EXAMPLE, the water situation. As every
one either knows personally, or has been told, or has read
about, st. Croix once had streams. There were wells. Why!
1t does not requirea scientist to know that what has happened
is the result Of lack of planning, Or poor planning First, we
cut down the big trees, and burned them in the furnaces OF
sugar factories. Then we dug out the rest, and allowed grass
to grow for cattle. We did little or nothing about conserving
We built two reservoirs, but they were inadequate, also be-
cause of poor planning.
THIRTY YEARS G if there had been a real program
of conservation we would today have been reaping the bene
fits. And what would that program have beenP It would have
started with a careful study Of the needs : the water needs
Of this Island. In that study would have been included popu,
lahon trends and the need to meet it, coupled with provision
for tourist development and the water needs in such q situa-
ton.
THE NEXT STEP, once the study had been made,
would have been program Of augmentation. In other words

Most certainly, these plans would have included an extensive

sion that in 1902 became Of

most certainly was a
graceful setting Of the finest
furnishings of the time from

men. Those same furnish
ings, without doubt, were del
icately combined in the Pres

are still on view in his Vir-

Further perusai of White
House furnishings and usage
of the historic rooms as re-
vealed in President Thomas
Jefferson's 1909 inventory
brings one to the oval Blue
Room where the renowned
painting of George Wash
ington (rescued in the 1914
fire. was hung while he lived
there.
The Stars series 1.-THE
Presidents House-The Early
Years" (articles four and
five), yesterday and Wednes-
day, also dealt with Mr.. JEFF
ferSon's selection of White
House furnishings circa 1902.
The Blue Room or oval
room in the White House
was the Presidents Drawing
Room in JefferSon'S day.
There were five suits of
Chints window curtains with
cornice" at the five windows.
There were four large ma
hogany sofas covered with
hair cloth, which was con-
sidered a fashionable cover
cloth of the time and was
highly favored by Hepple-
white. 1t was made in a
variety of patterns and col
orings including white, red,
green, blue and bla ck.
American Antique Furni-
ture" states that horsehair
was the proper upholstery on
sofas in Hepplewhite, Shera-
ton and Empire styles.
"a Chairs
Twenty four fashionable
chairs in blue and gold were
placed about the room where
a full-length portrait of
George Washington in a huge
gilt frame was hung.
Two large mahogany card
tables and two square ma
hogany tables with leaves
rested on IAN elegant Brus-
sells carpet" There was a
large chandelier, three ala
baster ornaments on the
mantelpiece. two china and
silver ornaments placed
about and "a elegant Giran-
doles and Glass lustres.
The Red Room adjoining
the Blue Room of today was
in JefferSon's occupany
known as the Presidents Sit
ting Room. We have little
intimation to the color
scheme except for the three
sofas covered with black hair
cloth and 16 fashionable
chairs Of black and gold.
There were two mantel or
naments and an elegant time
piece which probably were Of
French origin, two elaborate
girandoleS, two glass shades,
a looking glass, at the win
dows elegant curtains with
cornice," an elegant Brus-
sells carpet and fire rug"
In this sitting room where
the President visited with
personal friends there was
listed an elegant mahogany
drink table with a marble top,

forerunner Of the modern
bar.
The drinking table came
into being near the end of
the 18th century to be used
for after-dinner drinking.
On such type as described
in THE Complete Guide to
Furniture Styles" was about
6 feet in length and con-
structed with a horseshoe
shaped top. A metal rod at
tached across the center por-
ton was fitted with coasters
to hold wine bottles.
Lady's Drawing Room
Upstairs in the White
House was the Lady's Draw
ing Room where Abigail Ad-
ans, in her early letters from
the Presidents House set up
the crimson upholstered sofas
and chairs brought from
Philadelphia.
In Abigail'S day this draw
ing room was the upstairs
oval room which may have
remained the same in Jeffer-
sons time. 1t is most prob
able as his inventory of the
Lady's Drawing Room would
appear to have been un-
changed since then.
1t still held % mahogany
chairs with crimson damask
bottoms and the two match
ing mahogany sofas with
their crimson upholstery and
the five crimson damask win
dow curtains with cornice.
Mrs. Adams prediction that
the drawing room would
someday be a lovely setting
when completed seems to be
borne out in the further
furnishings. There was an
elaborate glass chandelier, an
imported Brussels carpet, two
large looking glasses and a
pair Of mahogany card ia

tory also noted four gran
doles with elegant brass
