NEW POST OFFICE IN FREDERIKSTED
TO BE DEDICATED SUNDAY. MARCH 10TH


Frederiksted's new Post
Office will be dedicated at
400 pm. on Sunday March
10, 1868, Postmaster G.
Watson announced today.
The new facility, located
at the corner Of Fisher
Street and Center line Road
is part Of the Post Office De-
p~artment's lease construc-
zion program, the local post
master explained.
Under this program, in
vestment financing is used
to obtain needed facilities
which remain under private
ownership, pay local taxes
to this community, and arc
leased to the Federal Gov
eminent.
At the same time, the
need for large OUTLAWS OF
money from the Federal
Treasury for construction
purposes is eliminated.
Like most OF the new
postal buildings that are
going up across the country,
this post office is leased to
the Post Office Department.
This gives the Department
some fexibility in adapt
ing its building program to
changes in mail volume,
transportation and popula-
ton, C. Watson
said.
The Department is now
concentrating on construct
ing new postal units only
where they are most urgent
~ needed. In areas where
it is practical to do SO, exist
ing buildings are undergo
ing renovation.
THE fact that Frederik-
sted has been chosen for a

Retirement Bonus

The General Accounting Of

men extra retirement allow
ances for good conduct.
1t recommended repeal of a
1889 law authorizing the pay
ments. which are estimated at
about $4,000 over the retire.
ment period of an enlisted man
with 20 years service.
The bonus goes to about 90
per cent Of Coast Guard en-
listed men retiring after 20
years in the service, a GAO
report said yesterday. 1t puts
Coast Guard retirement pay
ION a more favorable basis than
that of the other military serv-
ices" which don't offer such
bonuses, the report said.
The GAO also called for re-
peal Of legislation limiting to
! per cent the number of en-
listed men who can retire each
year with 20 years service.
Many enlisted men, who
will otherwise become eligible
for retirement in the next few
years, will not be able to re-
tire because of the / per cent
limitation" the GAO said.

Russians Favored
Automatic Devices

said that negotiations for a test
ban treaty must be continued"
and promised first priority
would be given to that effort
when an 18-nation disarma-
ment committee, which in
cludes the three nuclear pow
ers, meets in Geneva.
A high United States official
reported in New York that in
suggesting the present talks
end, the Russians said they had
come to discuss only the num-
ber Of on-site inspections and
automatic seismic recording de-
vices needed to distinguish
underground nuclear tests from
earthquakes.
The automatic recording de-
vices, which would be removed
from the Soviet Union periodi-
cally and read at an interna-
tional center, had been pro-
posed by the Russians as a
substitute for op-site inspec-
tions.
A possible factor in the Soviet
thinking that led to collapse Of
the talks was suggested by a
high American source at U. N.
headquarters in New York. He
speculated that the Russians
wanted further discussion held
in Geneva so they could try to
mobilize pressure on the West
ern powers from the eight ron-
aligned nations who are
members of the Disarmament
Committee, the AP said.

Judge Convicts Shelton
But Withdrows Verdict

torney William Hitz said the
subcommittee did have prob
able cause to call Mr.. Shelton
because the subcommittee had
information that Communists
were infiltrating newspapers in
New York. He said that this
was sufficient cause to call an
employe of any metropolitan
newspaper and ask him if he
had information of the alleged
infiltration.
After the summation, Judge
Walsh ruled that the subcom-
mittee had properly called Mr.
Shelton and properly ques-
toned him. The Judge then
found Mr.. Shelton guilty as
charged in the indictment.
Agree on Delay
However, both Mr.. Rauh anc
Mr.. Hitz suggested that Judge
Walsh vacate his guilty verdict
until the judge has the oppor-
tunity to rule on l3 specific
findings submitted by Mr.
Rauh.
Court observers said that II
is rare for a judge to issue a
general finding of guilt before
deciding the specific findings,
and almost unheard of to de-
clare a defendant guilty and
then. within five minutes, to
vacate the verdict.
However, the retrial has been
marked by other unusual occur
rences. including the appear
ance on Wednesday Of Senator
Eastland, Democrat of Mis-

later withdrew the verdict.
District Court Judge Leonard
P. Walsh said he was withdraw
ing his general finding of guilt
until he decides on specific
findings submitted by the de-
fense.
Mr.. Shelton, a copyreader for
the New York Times, was con-
victed once for refusing to
answer questions in 1856 at a
Senate Internal Security Sub
committee hearing. He had been
asked whether he was a men,
ber of the Communist Party or
whether he knew a person the
subcommittee suspected of being
a Communist.
The conviction was overruled

ment was faulty.
