States, through the Virgin Islands, spurious products orr
glnating in foreign countries and under existing DAVIS, will
be Labelled as a product of the Virgin Islands which, in
fact, it will not be. This procedure, while technically le-
gal, threatens to destroy our present bona fide rum in
dustry as well as many Of the small industries which
have been established under the above cited laws.
Indeed, more is at stake than our rum industry and
our Industrial incentive program. The future economic
development Of the Virgin Islands rests in the balance.
The present situation therefore calls for Immediate
and bold action on the part of the local government. It
should not be difficult for the Legislature to envisage
what drastic steps the rum industry in neighboring Puer-
to Rico, as well as their related interests in the industry
on the Continent, will take to insure the adoption Of
stringent federal regulations designed to curtail the
threat which this traffic poses to their large rum industry.
Il we stand idle and wait for action to be taken at a level
where we havetno control, we will be obliged to hold
ourselves responsible for any resultant misfortunes suf-
Tered by the people Of the Virgin Islands.
For the reason set forth above, / believe that it is
imperative that we take immediate steps to clearly es-
tabllsh that Virgin Islands rum will be known and re-
garded as a genuine product Of the Virgin Islands, and
one which we here and all others who have relied upon
us IN the past can fully depend on as being truly repre-
sentative Of the Virgin Islands. The proposed legislation
which hand you herewith is designed to accomplish
this end. | urge that you give it your prompt and favor
able consideration.

MESSAGES rom THE GOVERNOR
GOVERNMENT HOUSE
Charlotte Amalie. ST. Thomas
Virgin Islands Of the United States
May II. 1860
The Honorable
The President Of the Legislature
Charlotte Amalie
ST. Thomas, Virgin Islands
Ny dear Mr.. President:
have the honor to transmit herewith a proposed bill
to regulate the production and labelling OF rum in the Vir-j
gin Islands.
It is hardly necessary for me to tell you how vital the
rum industry is to the economic ~well-being Of the Virgin
Islands. As you know, the entire financial structure Of the
Government is closely tied in with the excise taxes on
rum imported into the United States from the Virgin IS
lands. All Of our Public Works program which now
amounts to 100000 per year is entirely dependent up
on the continued healthy growth Of the rum industry.
The existing Virgin Islands rum industry, in addition
to generating the above government revenue, pays sub
stantial local taxes and, probably even more important,
provides considerable employment to our people both d-
rectly through their payrolls and indirectly through the
end use Of the final b%y-product (molassesl of our main
agricultural crop 3sugar cane)
Unfortunately, q situation has now developed wher-
in a method has been devised for using the fifty per cen
tum provision Of Section 28(d) Of the Revised Organic
Act together with the preferential Customs duty status
Of the Virgin Islands for funnelling into the United

Dupont Tunnel
Still Considered
For Bus Use

District highway officials are
still considering the possibilities
of using the Dupont circle
streetcar underpass for buses.
Harold L. Aitken. the city's
highway director, hasn't any
idea. he said, as to the cost
involved in rebuilding the
streetcar entrances to the tun-
mel but he is having a study
made to determine all the fac
tors.
Buses cannot now use the
underpass because the turns are
too narrow at the entrances
which were designed for street.
cars.
Another costly factor that
would be involved in converting
the underpass for bus use is the
need for air blowers to ventilate
the tunnel.
An additional study is under
way by District civil defense Of
ficials to determine if the
streetcar tunnel can be con-
verted into a fallout shelter.
After conversion of the Mount
Pleasant streetcar line to bus
operation the streetcar under
pass was closed.

Assembly to Receive
II VALC Proposals

RICHMOND, Dec. 26 (AP) -
The 1862 General Assembly will
be asked to consider II pro-
posals from the Virginia Ad-
vlsory Legislative Council.
The subjects range from
sterilization to game laws. Many
of the suggested bills probably
will be enacted into law since
the VALC usually Sits out most
of the controversial proposals.
Gov. Almond has already re-
ceived l3 of the II recon-
mendations. Reports still to be
presented include those on self
insurance. atomic energy, rail-
road passenger traffic and food
financing.
Here are some of the VALC
proposals:
Drunk Driving-An implied
consent statute providing that
drivers shall be deemed to have
consented to permit an alcohol
blood test if they are arrested
for driving while under the in
fluence of intoXicants. Persons
refusing would be subject to
suspension of their license for
80 days on first refusal and six
months for a second or subse-
quent refusal.
Game Laws - The VALC
recommends a sweeping re-
vision to simplify existing stat
utes, strengthen protection for
property owners and give
added safety for non-hunters.
ZOning - Simplification of
the patchwork of zoning, plan
ming an subdivision control
laws. State Board of Con-
servation and Economic De-
velopment would be given
limited zoning powers to pro-
tect places and areas of his
.toric significance by imposing
restrictions on changes of near
by lands.
Convict LabOr-No changes
in the 55-year State policy of
working convicts on State high
ways.
Architects and Engineers -
The VALC said it was not in
a position to recommend the
adoption of any statutory defi-
milton of the professions of
architecture and professional
engineering"
State Records - Retention.
storage and disposal - The
State librarian would be author
lied to microfilm and store
records.
Accounting and Bookkeeping
- Recommended against ad-
ditional laws to regulate the
practice of bookkeeping and
accountancy below the level of
certified public accountant.
SterilizatiOn-The VALC rec
commended a State law provid-
ing for voluntary sexual ster-

miles and slightly more than
1000 persons.
The city is expected to argue
that it would be impractical to
provide a government for the
small and scattered population
that would remain. 1t will sug-
gest that the court permit an
nexation Of the entire county
Court action against Henrico
will begin late In January. No
action against Chesterfield is
expected until this suit is set
tied.
The ordinance against Ches-
terfield calls for the annexa-
ton Of 81 square miles and
1000 persons.
Each of the cases will be
heard by a three-judge court
consisting of the circuit court
judge of the affected county
and two judges from ether dis
tricts.

required not only of the pa
tient but of the spouse. if the
patient is married, given after

Further safeguards we're set up
for minors.
| LabOr-Modernization of la
Dor laws to provide, among
other things, for regulation of
employment agencies and for
establishment of a safety codes
commission.
Milk InspectiOn-Responsibil-
ity for milk inspection would
be split between the State De-
partment of Agriculture and
State and local health agencies.
The VALC recommended that
the agriculture department be
given exclusive responsibility
for inspecting from farm to
milk processing plant and the
local health departments from
delivery point to consumer.
Motor Fuels - Recommended
against granting service station
operators an allowance for
gasoline shrinkage and evapora-
ton. The council cited the high
administrative and inveStiga-
tive cost and expressed doubt
the individual operator would
be materially helped.
| Eminent Domain - Recon-
mended revision of the States
laws on the subject with en-
phasis on clarification.
HOSpita lizatiOn - Recon-
mended several steps to ease
pressure of increasing cost of
prepaid disqualification plans
and added a warning that the
costs might go even higher.
Blue Shield and Blue Cross
plans would continue to be
exempt from taxes on annual
gross premiums, dues or
charges; the medical profess
sion. health insurers and Blue
Cross, and Blue Shield were
urged to clamp down on abuses;
Blue Cross was advised to un-
dertake a vigorous public edu-
cation program to explain
fully its program and costs.
