DiSagreeS With Ransom
Among the crowd welcoming
the prisoners was Miguel Cosio
26, a member Of the Cuban un'
deground and now a Miam
architect.
He said he did not agree
with the ransom of prisoners
but, what are you going to tel
the mothers, the wives and the
children?"
/ He. like most Of the other
100000 Cubans in this area
contributed to the fund for the
release of the prisoners, even
though. as he said, he did not
believe in international black
mail.

For many reasons Of eco
nomics and tradition, it is
easier to dramatize issues in
steel than in other industries
The administration will find
out soon whether it can main
tain wage and price stability in
such industries as aluminium
and aircraft.
If business executives do re-
solve to hold prices down,
their determination may lead
to industrial strife. They may
become tougher in negotiations
with labor unions, and the
unions may fight back hard.
The United Steelworkers oi
America signed a new contract
with leading steel companies
two weeks ago. The contract

September IA, 1861
Dear Senator Anderson:
This will refer to my letter to you of August IL.
1861, "a copy of which | attach for your convenience
and to our. conversation of this afternoon with respect
to the urgent need for expansion Of the power system in
the Virgin Islands which is operated by the Virgin Is
lands Corporation.
AS | pointed out to you, for the period from January l.,
1861 through August 81, 1861, the power growth rate,
KS compared with the same period for 1860, averaged
1920 for ST. Croix and 27% for st. Thomas. In view Of
the coming activity which | fully expect for the Virgin
Islands and further in view of the fact that the growth
which / cited took place at a time when power was still
restricted. I expect that even this very unusually high
rate of growth will continue to increase sharply.
In order to avert a serious power crisis in the Virgin
Islands, crisis which will bring to an abrupt halt our
burgeoning economic development, it is earnestly re-
quested that HR.4 1850 which is now pending before your
committee, be amended to provide that the current Dor
rowing authority of VICORP be increased by $5,000,000
from S11,000,OOO to $16,000,000, and that the bill be re-
ported out as thus amended.
Tie increase in borrowing authority set forth above will
enable VICORP to construct two 5000 XIV steam gener-
a4ng plants, one for 81. Thomas and one for ST. Croix, at
easGscmated cost Of $2.500.000 each.
AS / stated to you during our conference, the Govern
ment of the Virgin Islands guarantees that the $5,000,000
to be borrowed from the u. S. Treasury will be repaid.
TO reinforce this guarantee wish to assure you that,
whenever the Virgin Islands Corporation is ready to
sell its power system in the Virgin Islands, we stand
ready to purchase the same at full book value. You can
be further definitely assured of my active and continuing
interest in this matter.
Your cooperation in the above matter and that Of your com
mittee, is earnestly and respectfully solicited.

Honorable Frits LaWaetz
Member District Of st. Croix
Third Legislature Of the Virgin Islands
Frederiksted, St. Croix, y. i
Dear Mr.. Lawaetz:
In June of 1860 correspondence was exchanged con-
corning Bill No. ISL which you intended to introduce
10 tie Third Legislature of the Virgin Islands during the
Regular Session 1860, which was designed to promote
and regulate safety in the use and operation of motor
boats in the Virgin Islands. Our files do not indicate
what action was taken by the Legislature in this regard.
At that time the Virgin Islands were not included within
the scope Of the Federal Boating Act of 1858, but on 80
August 1861 the President ofthe United States approved
Public Law 87-17l, 87th Congress, which amended the
aforesaid Federal Boating Act so that the Virgin IS
lands are now included in the term STATE" as used IN
that Act. The effect Of this new law is to authorize the
establishment Of a system under the administration Of
the Government of the Virgin Islands, by which undoc-
unented vessels are numbered for Identification il prin-
cipally used in those waters. In the absence Of an approx
ed system established and administered by the local gov
ernnent, the Coast Guard must inaugurate and admins
ter the program 1t is noteworthy that under the Federal
Boating Act, if the Government Of the Virgin Islands
should assume these functions that Government would
prescribe and retain the numbering fees.
In view of these recent developments and the.necessity
Tor Coast Guard action inthe absence of a local number
ing program, information is particularly desired as to
the possibility offavorablec consideration now being given
by your Legislature to a Bill providing for the assump-
ttion Of these numbering functions. In view Of the import
ance Of this matter and the need for an early determines
ton regarding further planning, your reply will be
awaited with much interest.

Four Tan Players Star In
First 1862 AII-Stor Game

Washington CAMP - The tan
quartet of Maury Wills, Willie
Mays, Roberto Clemente and Juan
Marichal figured prominently in
the 8 to victory by the National
League over the American League
in the 32nd annual All-Star base
ball game viewed by 45,4SO fans,
including President Kennedy, in
the District of Columbia sparkling
new stadium here last Tuesday
July 1O).
The four heroes joined such
other stars as the veteran Stan
Musial and shortstop Dick Groat
in contributing toward the victory,
the fourth straight for the Ma
tional Leaguers in All-Star play.
The AL has not won an All-Star
game since 1859.
Ten Tan Players Saw Action
In all, a total of 10 Negro play
ers saw action on the two squads,
representing the best players in
both leagues. They included Mays,
Marichal, Orlando Cepeda and
Felip Alou of the San Francisco
Giants; Wills and Tommy Davis
of the Los Angeles Dodgers;
Clemente, of the Pittsburgh Pr
ates, and Ernie Banks of the Chi
cago Cubs, from the MI.
Battey and Wagner
Tan stars from the AL were
catcher Earl Battey of the Min
nesota Twins and outfielder Leon
Wagner Of the Los Angeles An
geles. Both went hitless in the
game, although Battey came
through with some fine defensive
work behind the plate.
Adroit base running by the
elusive Wills, who leads the ma
jors in stolen bases with 46, fig
ured in two of the three runs for
the senior loop, which has been
praised for its wise utilization of
Negro players.
Amazing MusiaI
Running for the amazing Mus
ial, who had smacked a single in
the sixth inning for his goth hit in
All-Star competition, Wills treated
the crowd to a dazzling display
of base running. With the cagey
Dick Groat at bat, Maury took
off for second base on the second
pitch of Camilo Pascual and made
it safely in a cloud of dust. Groat
who had thrown his bat at a bad
pitch to protect Wills on the play,
then singled Maury home for the
MI first tally.
Speedy Wills
Again in the eighth, Wills put
his speed on display. Dropping
single into short left centerfield,
Maury kept on going and thus
tricked outfielder Rocky Colavito
into throwing to second. AS the
latter fired the ball to second,
wills dashed for third and made 1t
headfirst. Jim Davenport then
singled him home with a single to
left, and the MI had its third and
final run. The National Leaguers
