No one was injured when q
tanker and freighter collided
off a Staten Island pier in New
York Harbor, but both ships
we're slightly damaged.
A Port Of New York Authority
spokesman said he could recall
only six other times in the last
IA years that Idlewild, La Guar
dia and Newark Airports were
all shut down because Of bad
weather.
The only aircraft to take off
from Idlewild last night was a
specially equipped Navy Con-
stellation used as a radar picket.
There were no landings.
The heavy fog blanket over
Idlewild was similar to one
which prevailed last Friday
night when an Eastern Air
Lines DC-7B crashed at the
airport on arrival from Char
lotte. N. c. OF the 81 aboard,
rs were killed.
The fog In New York Har-
Dor was so thick that q Coast
Guard patrol boat was forced
to return to its dock before
1t could locate the spot where
the British freighter Sarah
Bowater and the American
tanker Chemical Transporter
had collided.
The Coast Guard later dis
patched a cutter equipped with
ra6ar to the collision scene.
Damage to both vessels was
about IL feet above the water
line. the Coast Guard reported.
The Sarah Bowater is a 419-
foot, 6,641-ton freighter which
was believed bound for Alex
andria, Egypt. The Chemical
Transporter is a 523-foot, TO-
000-ton tanker which had Just
arrived from Gulf Of Mexico

undergo repair before depart

In this New Year 1862 we face big changes in our
territory. Events are coming in the near future which
will affect the lives Of all the people Of these Virgin Is
lands. In deed, history is here In the making-a history
winch will be written in political and economic eman.
cipation. This will come to us because Of the TACT that
the peopleao Of our islandsihave shown themselves capable

and our islands are as much a part Of America as certain
other islands such as Hawaii, Staten Island and Man
haitian Island. Fifty years ago it took much longer to
get from Washington, our nations capitol TO Manhattan
than than it does now to get to the VirginIslands.
It is quite true that we are a younger part Of the
United States than any OF those islands. We only came

history of every territory Of the United States. But in
recent weeks we have had cabinet officers Of the Wash
mgUon government publicly state that they think we
have passed that stage. They have. favored our election
of our own governor. Such a drastic change In our status
will take time to achieve through the congressional pro-

All business transactions

Stevenson Pleads Case
For u. N. Bond Issue

try'S view that disarmament
requires full inspection.
Although the independence
movement has increased U. N.
membership from 81 to 104,
there may be 20 more new ma
tions born in the next decade.
The Congo situation gave the
U. N. its greatest challenge,
but U. N. Intervention IN 1860
prevented a direct conflict be-
tween the great powers.
Mr.. Stevenson said it would
be foolish to contend the U. N.
has not made mistakes. But
he said it serves no useful end
to judge the agency solely on
its failures.
Mr.. Stevenson agreed with
committee members that each
nation buying bonds could de-
duct from its regular annual
assessment to the U. N. the
amount the U. N. would be
returning to that nation in that
year toward liquidation of the
bonds.
But Senator Humphrey of
Minnesota and other Democrats
brought out that no nation
could deduct an unlimited part
of its bond purchase from its
annual assessment in any one
year.
This appeared to be in line
with a suggestion by Senator
Hickenlooper, Republican Of
Iowa, last night, that one way
insuring repayment would be to
deduct part Of the bond obliga-
ton from annual assessments.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat
of Alabama, acting chairman,
emphasized that the u. N. plan
is to liquidate the bond issue
at the rate of $40 million a year,
and that no one nation could
deduct more from its annual
assessment than its proportion
ate share Of that $40 million.

are trading shots with the Wet
Cong in self-defense.
So far two helicopters have
been lost and several others
damaged badly by gunfire.
There have been no casualties
among the American crewmen
or Wet Namese soldiers aboard,
but a United States source re-
ported the Communists "are
getting our range"
They're learning to aim
ahead Of us, to compensate for
the forward movement Of the
aircraft" the informant said
after one helicopter crashed
and two others were hit while
ferrying Vietnamese govern
ment troops into action yester-
day.
It was not determined
whether the plane that crashed
went down because of enemy
fire or mechanical trouble. But
one helicopter was shot down
and another hit in q similar
operation Sunday.
No official information was
disclosed on yesterdays mis-
sion, the third such operation
since the United States COM
mitted itself to the defense of
South Wet Nam and ordered a
major United States military
buildup here two months ago.
Wet Cong Escapes
However, sources said the
Communist Wet Cong guerrillas,
just as they did Sunday, escaped
before assault forces could sur
round them. The target area
was believed to have been 30
miles southeast Of Saigon.
Informants said is American
Army helicopters shuttled two
battalions of Vietnamese in
fantry-564 men-into the COM
bat area while three other bat
talions moved overland.
The helicopter crashed as it
was coming in to a rice field to
pick up a fresh load of troops
after having just unloaded one
group Of soldiers in the target
area.
