In explaining the reasons
for the conference, Dean
Ruopp said, I'VE are sure that
we at the College have some
things to learn from the high
school teachers of English and
mathematics. They are able,
through their longer local ex-
perience, to define more accu-
rately the problems Of teach
ing communications skills in
the Virgin Islands. We are al
50 interested, Of course, in the
ideas and methods that seem
to them to hold some promise
for the solution Of these pro-
blems.. In turn, will share
with them some of our tenta-
tive observations, based on
two terms of teaching exper-
fence and the results of our
testing program.
Everything else in his high
er education depends on the
students proficiency in Eng

quently, it is in these areas
that the need for mutual I'M

Grain to Be Carried
In American Ships

a cOnS0rtium OF American ouSl-
nessmen went to Ottawa to
discuss possible sales Of United
States grain.
1t quickly became apparent
that the Russians were very
willing to buy, but wanted as
surances first that the Com
merce Department would not
forbid the issuance Of necessary
export licenses.
Mr. Kennedy said that basil
cally, the deal would be good
business. It would reduce the
vast American wheat surplus
that totals about one billion
bushels.
It would also, he said, help
this country's balance Of pay
ments problem. aid United
States gold reserves land SUD-
stantially strengthen the eco
nomic outlook for those en-
ployed in producing, trans
porting, handling. and loading
farm products"
Exporters Pleased
So far, no American business
man has applied for a license
to sell wheat to Russia, al
though a license application
has been received for a ship
ment to Hungary.
Several leading exporters ex-
pressed pleasure last night at
the Presidents long-awaited
policy announcement, since 1t
now allows them to get down
to terms with the Russians.
Mr.. Kennedy noted that the
wheat would be sold at the
world price, which is about So
cents a bushel lower than the
domestic price.
The domestic price yesterday
at Gulf ports for hard winter
wheat No. / (the port and type
that viii predominant in a Rus
sian sale) was s2.3S1a per
bushel.
The subsidy payment for ex-
port was Sc cents a bushel.
This means that any foreign
importer would pay Sl.771a per
bushel. The exporter would
keep the subsidy.
Although the Presidents de-
cision has opened the door to
the largest Soviet-American
transaction since world war II,
Mr.. Kennedy said that it does
not represent a new Soviet
American trade policy.
American trade with the
Soviet Union has amounted to
less than $40 million a year
recently.
Russia owes the United States
several billion dollars in debts
accumulated through the years,
and is denied tariff concessions
given friendly nations"
The wheat deal. however
might lead to expansion OF
trade with the Eastern coun-
tries.
The President said he de-
cided, with the advice of the
National Security Council and
congressional leaders, that sale
of wheat would not violate the
present Export Control Act
which bars shipment of stra-
tegic items to Communist
countries.
Some Congressman have said
that the Agriculture Act of 1861
bars the sale Of subsidized
products to Communist coun-
tries. But the administration
has argued that the act only
stated the intent of Congress
and did not put legal restraints
on such q deal.
The United States has never
had a policy against selling
