My dear MI. Secretary:
This letter is being written to you in your capacity
as Chairman of the Board OF Directors, Virgin Islands
Corporation, and pertains to the electrical power sit
uation here in the Virgin Islands as it affects the future
development Of VICORP, the Government OF the Virgin
Islands, and the Virgin Islands as a whole.
On September IA, 1861 wrote to Senator Clinton /.
Anderson, Chairman, Committee on Interior ana lnsular
Affairs, outlining the situation here in the Virgin Is
lands. and requesting that the Congress, through Il. +
400, increase the borrowing auInorlty OF VlCORP by
SIS. 5000 from $llOOO,0O to $4,000, 600. q enclose a
copy OF my letter of September IA, 1861, to Senator An
derson0
AS YOU know, the Congress ultimately authorized
an increase Of $4,000, 900 from $11,000,OOO to $l5,OOO,-
900. The matter was then considered by the Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations which, however, deferred &C
ton on the bill until the next regular session OF the Con
gress. In addition to viewing the matter as one which
should be more properly considered in q regular appro-
~priation bill, the Committed | am informed, also re-
commendedthat the Department OF the Interior explore
the possibility OF interesting private industry IN under-
taking the necessary expansion OF power IaclnueS mere
in the Virgin Islands.
am seriously disturbed by the Committees recon-
mendation, inasmuch as / strongly hold the'view that
the best interest of the people of the Virgin Islands would
not>be served by turning the plant over to private IN
dLstry, andby having private industry undertake future
expansion and development. Adequate power IS an IN
dispensable need if we are to continue our economic
development, and is, in my view, a responsibility which
can be best handled by the Government.
deem it important, therefore, to repeat here the
commitment which / made to Senator Anderson in my
letter of September "A, 1861, viz: The Government OF
the Virgin Islands guarantees that the $~4,0OO,OOO to be
borrowed from the y. S. Treasury will be repaid. 10
reinforce this guarantee we commit ourselves TO pur-
chase, at full book value, the power system in the Vir-
gin Islands, whenever the Virgin Islands Corporation

I considered is useful to let you have my thoughts
this entire matter, and look forward to a full dis

The Honorable Clinton F. Anderson

Washington D. O..
Dear Senator Anderson:
It was a great pleasure and an honor for US to have
you visit the Virgin Islands even though your stay was
so short. am sure the impressions you got and took back
with YOU from this. short visit will be helpful to you
in policy decisions concerning these islands. Perhaps,
after the Congress adjourns youWillc come back and relax
in these restful islands and learn more about us and our
problems.
During our drive to the Airport from Mountain Top
[ mentioned to you the question. OF VICORPs Power,
and you suggested write to you about this matter.
Bill to amend Section 6 (a) Of the Virgin Islands
ICorporationsAc would increase the sum when the Cor
poration IS permitted to borrow from $ll,0OO,OOO to $2O,
100000. It is my understanding that this was introduced
in the House as HR 1850 and that the Bill has been pass
ed BY the House of Representatives. 1t was introduced
in the Senate as S 1743, and hearings were held by the
sSub-comraitte on Territories and lnsular Affairs on
June 10, 1861. If we could get this Bill passed by the
Senate we would then be in a position to request the
Budget Bureau to forward our request for SO, 100000 Tor
the construction of steam power plant both IN st. Crolx
and ST. Thomas. The Budget Bureau has already lndlcat-
ed that they favor this legislation but are seeking the ne
cessary enabling legislation, ! certainly hope that you
can be helpful in moving this Bill through the Senate
during this session. I intellectually ecommend favor
le consideration of this matter and urge its adoption
before the close of this session.
consider this matter of primary Importance be-
cause a reliable source Of power is essential to the eco
nomic development plans which we are now preparing
to embark upon for these islands.
Regardless Of the future Of VICORP, there is a dire
need for present and future planning for power expan-
sion. Any investment made or contradiction by the Fed
eral Government could be realized in full in the event Of
a sale.
At the last Board of Directors meeting of VICORP,
a new Rate Schedule was adopted and will go into eff
feet On September /, 1861. This new increased Rate Sche-
dule will produce additional revenues estimated to show
an annual profit of $250,000
Again, let me express my appreciation and thanks
to you for past and present favors.

Strange, Ambiguous Novel

VILLA MILO

VILLA MILO. BY Xavier
Domingo. Translated from

villa Milo" is a strange,
ambiguous. not quite COM
prehensible, but curiously ir-
resistible novel. It's telling is
as vivid as a dream, and it's
motivation and consequence
as beWildering. If, as it's pub
fishers suggest, it is an al
legory, its comparisons are
unclear to me, but I can &C
cept it as a surrealist ex-
travaganza.
Paca, the son of a prosti-
tute and a priest, is brought
up in the brothel operated
by Dona Fill. an aging beauty
who does not admit her ma
ternity of the boy. Paca loves
Blanca, one of the establish
ment's girls, but neither is
her lover nor feels jeal-
Gus or resentful of her mer-
cenary consorts. For him
the world of the brothel is
paradise from which he
wants never to be expelled.
But sin and guilt are un-
known in paradise and Paca's
serene existence is troubled
by both.
The most remarkable
character of the book is Dom
Vena, the local priest, who is
both customer and confessor
at Villa Milo. But while he
may be a sinful priest, he

is not an heretical or bias
phemous one, and he teaches
by exposing the razor-edge
dividing line between dogma
and reality. For example, his
sermon to a group of young
girls taking their first COM
munion is perhaps, in it's
exhortation to become the
beloved of Jesus, a carnal
excitement; perhaps, how
ever, 1t is a genuine spiritual
teaching. Certainly, if one
compares this sermon, a mag
nificent tour de force of
writing, with a genuine first
communion sermon, the SINH
larities are conspicuous and
the divergences extraordi-
narily subtle.

it will be is no more pre-

This is the story Of the

and for their devotion to the

Anya Seton has long been

been more successful than
she is in this story of family
faith and loyalty.
The fortunes of the various
Radcliffes take them from

finally to the New World.

end save her from the claims

The historical material out
of which Miss Seton has con-
structed the story is enor-

although most Of the events
of Jenny's life are based on
family tradition rather than
on documentary evidence.

THE SINO-SOVIET CON-
FLICT, 1956-1961. BY Dom
aid S. Zagoria. princeton;
$500
Unlike many others, Mr..
Zagoria does not profess to
know how the Well-publicized
Sino-Soviet feud will be re-
solved. Mr.. Zagoria is a
scholar who has been study
ing Communist bloc politics
for the past II years, but he
says that the conflict has too
many variables for him to
base a solid prediction.
He is more certain, how
ever of the origins of the
feud. And for the first time,
a scholar has pieced together
all the scattered articles from
the Soviet and Chinese press,
the various speeches by Mao
Tse-tung, Nikita Khrushchev
and others, and interpreted
the Communist jargon into
comprehensive English. To
keep the book within bounds,
he takes 1856 as his jump-off
year.
The result is a clearly
written, solid book of infor-
nation about the differences
that have shaken the Com
munist boat. The book covers
the theological rift that
evolved from Macs commune
system, the intra bloc rivalry
for prominence, and the diff
ferences over global strategy
that have evolved from Khru-
shchev's peaceful coexist-
ence" theory.
1t is not an easy book for
the uninitiated. but for any
student of world affairs, it is
a first class study of Com
munists in conflict.

Story Of the Birth and
Development of Races and

TRANSLATED from the Ger

(Houghton, Mifflin Co.;
$6.50)
This volume is a mish-
mash Of fact, fiction and
fancy. The title may lead the
reader to expect a work
on the development Of vari-
GUS languages, broadened in
the subtitle to races and
peoples" If so, he will be
surprised to find the first
chapter concerned with He

that this is a book on the
history of ethnology. But
soon we are dealing with the

and the Scythians. In fact,
three themes concerned with
ethnology, exploration and
human history are here as
sembled into an indescribable
confusion which ignores
chronology, geography and
rational exposition.
This volume seems to be
the reading notes of an
omnivorous and completely
uncritical reader thrown to-
