NEW YORK R - Did Yuri Gagarin really orbit the earth to become the worlds first space man?
 U. $. officials and scientists in the best position to know say they are sure he did, and on that basis President Kennedy cabled con- gratulationS
 But skeptics raise a chorus of doubts, and cite numerous req sons.
 Moscow itself could stifle all skepticism, by supplying records, witnesses, and details of the flight to the Federation Aeronau- tique Internationale FIA in Paris which authenticates avia- tion and space world records.
 On April 12, Moscow wired the FLA the names of the pilot and spaceship, the Vostok, and said a space flight had been made.
 The telegram gave no other de- tails but did say supporting evi- dence would be forwarded within the required time limit of two months and eight days, said an FLA official who asked not to be quoted by name.
 But to have claims authenti- cated, says aviation experts, Mos cow would have to describe the model and type of spacecraft, the engine or engines, special appa- ratus aboard, the landing controls and the date, time and place of lift-off and landing.
 Highly Debateable
 It is highly debatable whether Moscow, which always has kept such information secret, will put it on open record now.
 The United States, the FLA of ficial said, also quickly advised about the flight of Cmdr Alan B. Shepard Jr. He said the FLA ex- poets to receive the supporting data within the required time.
 Shepard's flight was held open ly, and Jacques Allez, FLA presi- dent, was witness at Cape Cana veral
 The Soviet Union can claim records for duration of manned orbital flight q hour and 29 min utes out of 108 total minutes from lift-off to landing; altitude CLIO to 180 miles,; and for the greatest mass five tons) lifted into orbit.
 The United States can claim records for altitude without earth orbit Q15 miles) and for greatest mass lifted without earth orbit (3,000 pounds).
 We'll, did Gagarin go, or go when he's said to have gone No Doubt Flight Was Made
 Looking at all available in- formation, including that from U. s. tracking stations, there's no doubt the flight was made, says James Webb, director of the Ma tional Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration.
 Still doubters talk on such points as these:
 l. The landing: Reports conflict whether Gagarin parachuted from his capsule, or landed inside the capsule. He said he returned to earth in his spaceship. The land ing spot is not pinpointed.
 2. Some London newspapers carried stories suggesting Gaga- rims flight was made several days before April 12. One, the Com nunist Daily Worker, said an as tronaut had orbited the earth three times on April ', and was under medical care

Advisory Committee to study the operations OF the Vir-
gin Islands Corporation.
As9the Resolution indicates, it is the. policy of this
Administration that the Government Of the Virgin Is
lands take an active interest," in the operations Of the Vir-
gin Islands Corporation. In view of the fact that the
Corporation was created by the Federal Government for
the basic purpose Of improving the economy Of these IS
lands, it is imperative that we take a closer look into its
activities and make recommendations for improvement,
when necessary.
Tt is recommended in this Resolution that the advi-
sorry committee be comprised of members of the Legisla-
ture, members of the Executive Branch Of Government,
and publicspirited citizens in order that the operations
Of the corporation may be reviewed from various points
Of view.

My dear MI. President:
There is transmitted herewith for consideration by
the legislature a Bill to Amend Section 7O9, Title s, OF
the Virgin Islands Code, relating to Payment to Minors
or Persons under Legal Disability OF Benefits under the
Employees Retirement System.
This simple amendment will solve the problem OF
making payments to minors by authorizing payment I'M
der the Employees Retirement System to the court-ap-
pointed or legal guardians of minors or, where no guard
ians have been appointed, to any person Who IN the
judgement Of the Board Of Trustees is responsible TOR the
care Of the minor regardless Of the amount involved.
The bill will accomplish two worthwhile results:
% In a case where there is no court-apponted
or legal guardian, payment to a person selected by the
Board of Trustees wiIlrelieve the Government OF Habi-
lily.
% Payment to a person responsible for the care
Of the minor, instead of to the minor himself, will pre-
vent dissipation Of the money by the minor.
Sincerely yours,
(Sgd) Ralph M. Paiewonsky

Dear Dan: I'm a 17-year-old
girl and have been going around
with a boy of 19 for more than a
year. My problem isn't about MY
boy friend but about his parents.
l always thought they approved
OF me because l used to be invited
10 their home many times and
always received a warm reception.
Lately, however, they have been
so inexcuSably rude toward me
that l feel like two cents. Now
when Johnny brings me over to
his house, his parents mutter two
or three words to me and continue
on with what they were doing be-
fore l came in, completely ig-
noring me.
How can I find out what I've
done to make them act the way
they are toward me? Johnny SAYS
It can't be very apparent because
he hasn't noticed ANYTHING.
Please help me. = Very Unhappy.
Dear Very Unhappy: If your
boy friend is 10 and you've been
going steady for more than a
year, the trouble isn't what you've
done but the simple fact the par
entS now realize their son is
serious about you, you're serious
about HIM and one of these days
they believe there may be we'd
ding bells.
They're going through a period
where they resent you because
they feel you're not good
enough for their Johnny. Any
girl would get the same treat
ment. Ignore the i'll manners be-
cause in time these parents will
have a change of heart and every
thing will be fine again.

one for the parents to solve. While

nevertheless, the kids would be
