where he spent the entire
period Of the Cuban crisis.
He went down around Octo-
Der IL to report on the situ-
alton for his Swedish radio

tGld by the German Ambas-
sador, you're late. There's
no more to write about UNI
less you want to go into es-
pionage."
At that time, said Bjorn,
no one that he could find
knew for sure about any mis-
siles on Cuban soil. The Ger
mans had tried very eff
GENTLY to verify the rumors
but had failed. Nor did Bjorn
ever meet anyone who could
tell the difference between an
anti-aircraft missile and an
intermediate range missile,
between the Russian equiva-
Tents of our Sidewinder and
Nike zeus, which are still
there, and the missiles they
had to remove. Both are far
too complicated to be identi-
fled by the non-specialists.
HE THINKS THE CUBAN
REFUGEES dream up so
many things such as the
report that French-speaking
Negroes were being imported
TO invade Haiti, and English
speaking Ghanians were be-
ing imported to invade ia
maica-that they are bound
to hit it right once in q
while. But he completely
discounts the theory that
complicated missiles consist
ing Of $4,000 to 100000 parts
are disassembled and hidden
in caves for sudden reassem-
bling.
Despite stories to the con-
trary. Mr.. Ahlander who
broadcasted four or five
times daily in Swedish, Eng
lish and German to Europe,
was never under house ar

there with all his papers in

REAppoRT1oNMENT A sERIoUs MATTER

REA~PPORTIONMENT - A SERIOUS MATTER
CONGRESS MUST by now know that many in these Is
lands do not want to change the voting system at this time
kilograms and letters have been dispatched, and the Con-
gressmen directly connected have in their hands statements
requesting that no action be taken now.
IT is CONCEDED by everyone that there is need for
a change in voting by districts. That is one thing. 1t is an.
other thing, altogether, to hasten into a system which has glar-
ing disadvantages looking at everyone right in the taee. Under
circumstances it would be best to bide time tor further
Study, and exchange Of opinion and knowledge on this matter
Certainly, no one in these Islands, not even the advocates Of
change, could disagree with this.
H CRUX F THE MATTER lies in the disadvantages
to the voters Of ST. Croix. These Islands are a single political.
entity, that is true, but at the same time each section has its
own peculiar problems which must be faced and solved, and
it is therefore the responsibility Of the citizens in that section
to look after their own particular interests. If they do not then
who wilP Nor is this peculiar to these Islands. 1t is taking
place in every democratic country the world over.
THE PEOPLE who reside in St. Croix should have the
same right to vote for the same number of Representatives as the
people in any other island. The founding fathers of the great
American republic got around ~inequities by setting up two
houses of Congress, and designating that there shall be but
two Senators from each State, SO that Rhode Islands has the
same number of Senators, each with the same power, as 81 Texas.
REINFORCEMENT is not an easy matter. It is not to
be dismissed summariy, and treated lightly. Nor sit a matter
which should become the basis for a political football Ger
tainly, the Importance Of adequate and proper representation
is paramount and should not be tempered with. Our Senators
are knowledgeable men, who know their way, and under
stand what is involved and they have a great responsibility to
the voters of these Islands. They have the responsibility of
keeping the facts in their mind in proper perspective.
REAPPORTIONMENT is a serious matter. Let us not
rush into it before there is time to study all aspects of it.

Membefs of the Progressive
Citizens group, dating from

Both groups had to accept

One part he agreed to with

section commencing "the vision

NCPC staff last October.
The staff report proposed es-

the club and the employees.
Edward E. Bowden's suit was

Would Hear Citizens
At another point, Col. Shep-

urging NCPC to hear Sugges-

it proceeds with its study.
AS the resolution finally was
passed, it put the Committee
Of 100 on record as favoring
further NCPC studies so that
a comprehensive plan may be
drawn up in the near future,
thus forestalling incompatible
developments presently threat
ening the area"
The resolution also requested
the planning commission staff
TO develop boundaries "in such
a manner as to exempt all
presently occupied single
family swellings, and those
buildings fronting on M street
which already measure up to
the criteria established in the
proposal"
