~ ELECTRIC POWER: Following Vicorp's announcement
that it intended to sell its electric power facilities, the Cham

~ SUGAR. Following the Governors and Vicorps an
nounced plan to replace our sugar industry here with oranges,
thereby destroying st. Croix's secondIargest industry and
replacing it with one virtually doomed to failure, the Cham
er marshalled all its forces to save our sugar industry. To
ward the end, we organized a petition campaign, devoted a
monthly meeting to the topic, issued reaDs Of publicity and

Anews release from the Vir-

Bureau today stated that Gov

Legislature six proposed bills
for consideration in the regu-

First on the list is a propose

Governor to purchase by ne

ent domain an extension on

both in Frederiksted. These
acquisitions, it is stated, are
necessary to implement q pro

During the Merwin Admin

formed Of Frederiksted resi-

public beach should be located
for the benefit Of the people
in Frederiksted.
The Committee, after long
elaboration & careful study,
recommended an area on Sam

Every missile is a compro-
mise between explosive power
and accuracy. The explosive
materials are heavy. and so are
the guidance instruments. The
Improved Minuteman will be
powerful enough to lift more
of both.
The warhead, then, will drop
closer to the target and go off
with a bigger bang. The
chances of the target being de-
Stroyed will be quadrupled, ac-
cording to Pentagon calcula-
tions.
Some day the bigger payload
could also include some special
target-locating devices which
are being researched.
The warhead might carry
electronic or infra-red gear
which would tell it precisely
where the undestroyed targets
are. The warhead could guide
itself with little puffs of rocket
power to the best target.
At the same time, the war;
head might carry a TV camera
which would take a picture OF
the spot it is about to hit. The
picture would be radioed back
to the United States, and
would tell American command
ers whether the warhead hit OF
missed.

Senator Humphrey accused
the Food and Drug Administra-
ton today Of moving with
"turtle-like pace" in banning
the use of a drug for pregnant
women.
The Minnesota Democrat
charged there was "a needless
loss of time at key junctures"
in FDA's year-long considera-
ton Of the use of Menadione-
vitamin KS in prenatal vita
min supplements.
In a speech prepared for
Senate delivery, Senator Hum
phrey also said the FDA was
tardy In securing the with
drawal of two antihistamines
which he identified as PRN
and Coldaid. PRN, he said, had
been used also as a form Of
tranQuilizer.
The three drugs were criti-
cized by DR.. John o. Nestor,
a medical officer with the FDA,
in testimony March 20 before
a Senate Government opera
lions subcommittee Of whic h
Senator Humphrey, a phar-
macist, is chairman.
The committees staff d.
rector, Julius N. Calm, in reply
to q question said Menadione
is @ Squibb product; Coldaid
a product Of Smith, Kline and
French, and PRN q product of
Bristol laboratories.
DR.. Nestor created something
OF q sensation-and a sharp
FDA denial-when he said the
FDA overruled medical experts
In permitting the sale Of some
drugs he commended were "im-
minently hazardous to the pub
lie health"
Senator Humphrey, calling
the FDA rebuttal unsuccessful,
told the Senate that since Dr.
Nestor's testimony:
/. The FDA rescinded the
right of the manufacturer to
include vitamin KS In prenatal
supplements on the ground the
company's petition did not
establish the safety Of Mena-
done for this use"
2. The day after DR.. Nestor's
testimony Coldaid. IAN anti
histamine which had never
been cleared as q new drug
application, was withdrawn BY
the company"
3. Also, the day after DR.
Nestor's testimony. the producer
of PRN voluntarily withdrew
It's new drug application"
''Dr. Nestor has strong doubts
over some rs new drug applica'
tons which also contain the
same chemical ingredient Ca

for greater range, greater &C
curacy, a larger nuclear ex-
plosion or for gadgets which
will permit it to slip past enemy
missile defenses.
Intelligence estimates say the
Russians probably will put a
substantial number of their
long range missiles into con-
crete-and-steef protected holes
in the ground. Also, they are
expected 10 install some kind
of anti-missile missile to pro-
tect their cities and military
bases.
Deceptive Decoys
The Improved Minuteman
will have a major role in beat
ing these enemy defenses.
In order to get to its target
the Improved Minuteman can
pack a large amount of "pene-
tration aids" into the warhead
without worrying about the
extra weight. For instance,
the warhead could carry decoyS
cardboard and tinfoil objects
which the warhead can scatter
in space as 1t descendS. and
which will look to enemy radar
like a mass attack of ICBM's
1t also could carry devices
which would jam enemy de-
fensive radar.
Other American missiles can
carry such devices, too, but not
without sacrificing a good
amount of their explosive
carrying capacity.
Once through the enemy de-
lenses, the Improved Minute
man will have a better chance
of digging out the buried
enemy ICBM'S than will the
present Minuteman.
The new missile will pack 8
greater weight of explosive ma.
terials into the warhead anc

The Senator emphasized that

does seek to raise the doubts

archaeological officers"

An improved ICBM - four
times as effective against the
toughest targets as existing
models--iS under development
in the Air Force.
Secretary of Defense McNa-
mara told the House Appro-
priations Committee recently
that the new missile should
provide the same jump in ICBM
performance as the B-52 heavy
bomber gave over the BAT
medium bomber.
The missile does not have Il
name yet. In the Pentagon they
call it the "WS133-B" or SIM
ply the Improved Minuteman. "
Officials say the Improvements
are such that it is almost a new
kind of missile.
An enemy missile site, for in
stance, that would be assigned
eight of the present Minute
man, would be handled by only
two of the new version.
The new model will cost 91a
per cent more per missile than
the original.
In Rackbone Role
Minuteman missiles will be
the backbone of the American
rocket force starting next year
Aliases and Titans will be
phased out gradually. They are
fast growing obsolete. The Po-
laris force, Submarine-carrieo
missiles, will expand, of course
but fewer than half as many
Polaris as Minuteman are
planned.
The first of the original
Minuteman are in operation
now; 800 of that model will be
installed through 1865. Severa,
hundred of the improved mode
are tentatively approved by the
Secretary of Defense for in
stallation through 1868
Pentagon officials say tn
new rocket will have a grea
deal more power than the ex
listing Minuteman. The Secont
stage will be both longer ant
fatter.
