Herbert A. Sober, chief bio
chemist of the National Can

Sober said, "noW is believed
to be all-important. A slight
difference in sequence of units

to expect that there are diff

The researches to date have
shown, he said, that there
are only a few distinct kinds
of units in nucleic acids, but
thousands of them are as

molecule. Even one out of
its proper arrangement
might turn a cell from nor

sequence, however, has not
yet been worked out for any
single nucleic acid.
DR.. Sober and his COL
leagues have begun to attack
the problem by mixing nu-
cleic acids with engines that
split molecules at certain
places, thus breaking them
into smaller pieces. The data
obtained is expected to en-
able the researchers to ident-

Along this line, the consult
ant stated that the department
was requesting funds immedi-
ately for an additional 600 XIV
generator for st. Thomas to be
installed as soon as possible af-
ter completion Of the new salt
water distillation plant and
generator.
When questioned about the
rates if the department were
sold to a private firm, Mr..
Eardley stated that, lin all
probability, rates would go
even higher than the new rates
when you take into account
that the private firm would
probably have a $4,000 a year
president and other highly
paid officials h h VICorp
does not have.
The consultant w as also
asked if the new r were
comparable with rates found
in communities of equal size
and with like problems. He
stated that the new rates were
not only comparable with sim
liar Stateside rates in equal
municipal operations, but also
were about the same as found
on Guam and Samoa.
Following his rate explana-
ton, Mr.. Eardley stated h at
the island could expect a num-
Der of small, isolated outages
all over the island in the near
future. These will be caused by
the installation of some $50

Power will be off, he explain
ed, because VICorp does not
allow its men to work on "hot"

made in advance, however, SO

of Virginia learned from JEFF
ferson. They stand with him
now because his was a sound
liberalism developed from the
conservative base OF strong
Federal, State and local gov
ernments in their respective
areas.
These are not deterrentS to

it,"
Senator Byrd said he be-
lieved the recent national in
terest in Virginia's Democratic
primary election was the feel
ing that the result would
determine whether the State
would continue to adhere to
conservative principles.
The ticket backed by the
Byrd organization forces of the
party handily won the nomina- =
tionS for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and attorney general.
While expressing pride in
Virginia's governmental out
look which he has helped shape
for more than 80 years, Senator
Byrd went on to add:
"Virginians are not reaction
aries. We do not turn back the
hands of the clock. We do not
necessarily defend the status
quo. But neither do we assume
that change is necessarily prog
ress. We want progress, but
we want sound progress"
Senator Byrd ticked off
Virginia position among her
neighbors in growth, income,
highways and, especially, her
freedom Of debt at the State
level to show that conserva-

Against the State record he
put the Federal record and
