Virgin Islands Offer Fine 'Loot' ST. THOMAS, V. I (INS) — The modern tourist can make more of a profit on the Spanish Main today than Henry Morgan and other pirates ever managed to find. The tourist collects his 1954 "loot” by smart shopping, because goods in a Caribbean free port, like St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, sell for fantastically low prices. Cognac is cheaper in St. Thomas than in Paris, cigarettes are about $1 the carton, the best brands of Scotch sell for $2.50 the fifth, and perfume, silver, and fine china sell for as much as 60 percent less than in U. S. stores. It’s cheap to get to the Virgin Islands, too. No passports, health certificates or visas are required of U. S. visitors, naturally. Tourists can take a Pan American "World Airways flight from New York to St. Thomas for less than $l5O .— and. get there in sever}, hours.

Begging Profitable Russian Occupation Many Complaints Voiced In Moscow MOSCOW (INS) — Begging is a profitable occupation in the Soviet Union. Wartime officer Victor Bartkevich, 32-year-old former Moscow draftsman-designer, hits passerski for a -few kopeks to buy *bread” though he gets a montbpension of figj) rubles ($225). Vassily Merkulov, another pensioned officer, begs “a ruble for carfare.” A one-legged man about 30 in a

tattered army uniform hobbled onto the front of a bus in which this correspondent was riding recently, passing down the aisle with his worn army cap in hand. The passehgers dug into their pockets and purses without urging and dropped coins in the cap. He had only to say “spassiba," thank you. The cripple left the bus by the rear ,door at the next stop, his cap jihgling with kopeks. Red Army Capt. I. Damaskin writes the newspaper "Literary Gazette” to demand authorities take a firm line with ex-service-inen and other beggars’ I 'who are thriving in the Soviet Union. Every time he boards a train for the suburbs, says Capt. Damaskin, some vodka-voiced bum staggers into .the car wailing an ancient

ballad about an old mother whose son is dying of wounds while her fatherless children whimper for something to eat. After singing, he "Sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers. Do not begrudge an old soldier a kopek. How about some spare change so a war vet can buy himself a pick-me-up.” Save Money The captain cites the cases of other crippled war veterans who have made outstanding careers since the war despite their handicaps. He urges the public and. the authorities to save their sympathy and their money for more worthwhile things. "When these fakers don’t receiee sympathy any longer," he asserts, "when they see the con-

tempt outlie citizenry and realize they can regain their self-respect only through honest work, we won’t hear their begging cries any longer.” The Soviet Union contends It has übolishwl unemployment, and

poverty. ' \ Therefore there is no excuse for begging as there is in "etfpitalist countries where unemployment and hunger drive people out of doors to beg or starve.” But thirsty ex-soldiers aren’t the only Russians taking advantage of the traditional generousity of their countrymen. A recent article in the 'Treningrad Pravda" reported profession al beggars have done well enough in the former 'Russian capital to rent summer houses, buy homes of their own in town and keep girlfriends. Beggars "brazenly swindle gullible people." the paper says, on street comers, buses, commuter trains and streetcars. . The Leningrad Pravda article quotes a professional beggar, P. Zhukov, as saying: "Where else could I earn up to 150 rubles ($37.50) a day? Why should I work ?” And the newspaper of the Moscow Young Communist League, "Moscow Komsomoletz”, reports children in one district of the capital have made a game of begging to get money for candy and movies.
