do not have to go into the
question of the need for addi-
tional water and power on the
Island of st. Thomas. We are
all too well acquainted with
these problems. This new in
s.allation viii not solve all of
them, but it is certainly a big step
in the right direction.
I'VE in the Virgin Islands can
be proud Of the fact that we will
have the largest land-based Sea
Water Distillation Plant ever con-
structed in the United States for
the commercial production Of po-
table water. There are several
larger plants constructed by the
Office Of Saline Water of the De-
partment of the Interior for ex-
perimental purposes, but there is
no larger commercial plant in
operation at this time. This plant
is also the only flash distillation
plant ever constructed as an inte-
grail part of a steam power opera
ton. AS such the plant will pro-
duce 275,000 gallons of water per
day, at an approximate cost OF
$1.75 per thousand gallons. This
is substantially lower than the
present cost Of barging water from
Puerto Rico. 1t also provides a
permanent and secure source OF
potable water for the future right
here on the island.
The Steam Turbine will gener-
ate $3.50 Kilowatts of electricity,
of which $500 will be net to the
system--the remainder being used
for the operation of station auxil-
iaries such as pumps, etc. The
plant has been so designed that it
may be operated to produce pow

combination. It was also designed
SO that additional salt water dis

and capacity could be added with

Contract Talk
Pace Boosts
Steel Demand

CLEVELAND, Mar. IL (AP) j..
Demand for steel will pick
up during April now that con-
sumerS are convinced that the
United Steel Workers and
management are far apart in
bargaining on a new contract,
Steel Magazine said today.
The Woodworking weekly said
small consumers which resisted
building inventories in January
and February hold the clue to
steel orders in the second quar-
ter, pointing out that big users
such as auto and appliance
manufacturers started to beef
up stocks months ago.
It's too early to predict the
size of the increase, but smaller
consumers will have to decide
which is WorSe-paying for in
surance that may not be needed
or suffering the penalties that
a strike might impose" Steel
said.
"They can't play the waiting
game much longer. Orders for
May deliveries Of the most
wanted products should
be in this week. Orders for
June delivery should be in by
April IS"
The magazine said prospects
still favor a peaceful labor set
tlement but it won't come as
quickly or as easily as hoped
when negotiations were started.
Pointing out that delay can
do the union no harm, Steel
added:
President David Mcdonald
has political fences to keep in
repair. He still has about three
months to do battle for his men
and now that President Ken
nedy has urged resumption of
bargaining, Mr.. Mcdonald can
claim the Government forced
him to terms and can silence
any critics"
Interruption in the formal
contract negotiations is ex-
pected to check the curtailment
in Steelmaking operation S
which has been underway for
three weeks. Steel said produc-
tion this week will be about the
same as the 1850, 900 tons it es-
