GLASS SMILES
OVER BANK
VICTORY
International News Service

Peppery Senator Carter Glass,
Of Virginia, was chuckling today
q habit to which he has become
addicted in recent weeks.
Senator Glass was q distinct
victor in the newly settled Senate
House tug-of-war over 1885 bank
ing legislation. President RooSe-
welt ordered the bill in one form,
and it attained its final stage al
most exactly in the form desired
by the Senator from Virginia.
This form, incidentally. was far
from that demanded by Mr.. Roose-
welt. One word from the Presi-
dent, so to speak, and the Senate.
House conferees did as Carter
Glass pleased.
Delay Is Obviated
Acceptance Of the joint draft by
the House conferees today insured
that it would not delay adjourn
ment Of Congress, which leaders
are hoping for on Tuesday night.
Senate conferees, Of course, are
more than satisfied. In the main,
the bill represents the views they
expressed when they took the legls-
lation drafted and passed by the
House and moulded it to suit
themselves.
In the first place, the confer
ence report gives heads of the
Federal Reserve banks a voice in
open market operations. AS COM
promised by the conferees, the
seven members of the reserve
board, and five reserve bank
heads, will comprise the open
market committee. AS first passed
by the House, the legislation
placed this power completely in
the hands of the revised reserve
board.
Passage Due Monday
House leaders planned to bring
up the conference report for pas
sage Monday. The Senate will
follow suit with no delay at all.
Leaders said the new bill would
be on the way to President RooSe-
velt's desk for signature Tuesday.
A single change was made by
conferees in the original Senate
form governing open market OPP
erations. They directed that the
reserve bank heads who are mem.
bers of the open market commit
tee shall be appointed regionally,
one each from the following
areas: Richmond, Atlanta and
Dallas; Chicago and st. Louis;
Kansas City, Minneapolis and San
Francisco; Philadelphia and Cleve-
land; and Boston and New York.
This provision headed the pro
gram damned through by Senator
Glass, designed to prevent too
great concentration of monetary
and banking control in Washing
ton.
One for President
The conference bill revises the
Reserve Board entirely. The board
would include seven statutory
members instead of the present
six. The ex-officio members, Sec
rotary of the Treasury and the
Currency Comptroller, were re.
moved.
The much-disputed provision
permitting bank underwriting of
securities was stricken out at the
orders of the President, according
to Senator Glass. This was al.
most the only important conces.
sion made to the Executive in the
big bill.

WEALTHY BEAT
SUCCESS TAX
BY GIFTS

Several wea thy Americans,
faced with the tax cudgel Of the
Roosevelt Administration, have de.
cided to beat the Government to
the gun, it was revealed today at
the Securities and Exchange Com.
mission.
Shortly after President Roose.
welt sent his tax message to Con.
gress last month there was a mild,
albeit unmistakable, effort on the
part Of wealthy men, some Of
them representing vast fortunes,
to dispose Of part Of their holdings
by gifts. the commissions files
show.
Even before the Presidents tax
message was read to Congress
there had been a consistent
stream of gifts pouring out from
the Golfers of some of the richest
men in the country. Taxation
had been topic Of conversation
some time before the tax message
was actually read, and apparently
some of those who Invested them.
selves of part of their fortunes
had anticipated passage of the tax
program.
ROckefelIer's Gifts Biggest
Latest gift, and the largest, to be
reported to the Government, is
that Of John D. Rockefeller, jr.,
whose charitable donation Of $27,.
100000 caused a stir in Govern
ment circles.
The Governments "soak-the-Suc.
cessful" campaign acted as q
boomerang in this and other like
cases, for it will suffer q heavy
loss in revenue.
Other we'll known men in the
country who have made substan.
tial gifts since talk of the enact.
ment of taxes at this session of
| Congress became more crystal.
lized include w. K. Vanderbilt,
George H. Lorimer, editor of the
Saturday Evening Post, and John
N. WHY'S, automobile manufac.
turer.
Total near 30 Millions
Altogether the gifts reported TO
the Government since the Presi.
dents tax message was read ag.
gregate $28.724,370, most of which,
of course, is accounted for by Mr..
Rockefeller'S donation.
Under the securities act a per.
son holding 10 per cent of the
shares of a corporation is re-
quired to report whatever disposal
he makes of his holdings, and
the manner in which the trans
action was handled. It was in
this way that the Rockefeller gift
Of more than twenty-seven million
dollars became public.
Under some circumstances a
gift tax of $11,097,4 50 might be
levied on the gift of Mr.. Rookie
Teller under existing Federal tax
laws, but the exact amount will
not be known until the amounts
and recipients of the individual
gifts are known. Mr.. Rockefeller
announced his distribution was
made to individuals and chari-
table organizations"
There is no tax on gifts to
charitable organizations, and a
5000 exemption is made in gifts
to individuals.
Gifts made by Mr.. Lorimer, Mr..
Vanderbilt and Mr.. WHY'S were
not made public. Whether they
are liable to taxation, therefore,
and to what extent, is not known.
Prior to the Presidents tax
message of June 10 more than a
dozen gift transactions had been
reported to the Securities and Elk
change Commission.

Garden Notes

~ 5 one WORKS over the garden soil,
an occasional tulip bulb that was
inadvertently left in the soil comes to
light These bulbs are just now send
Ing forth their new roots and this fact
would indicate that it is time that
growers were busy planting their
bulbs. AS rule. massed paintings
Of single colors are much more attrac-
tive than mixed paintings. Tulip
bulbs put into the soil any time up
to Thanksgiving will do well but the
sooner planted the better.
Aquilegias or columbines generally
give fine performance for two years
and then weaken and disappear. A
writer in garden magazine indicates
that cutting away of flower stalks as
soon as they have bloomed will ma
terially lengthen the duration of aqui-
legia paintings. Certainly such pro-
cedure would prevent the growth of
the numerous seedlings. which always
appear in the border and which rarely
approximate their parents in beauty.
The long-spurred hybrids seem par
ticularly difficult to maintain.
Arborvitae plants have many dead
leaflets at this season but this Is
mostly a natural development In
Spring there will be an outburst of
new leaves that will restore the full
beauty of the plants. 1t is well to
examine the arborvitaes for bagworms
and to cut off and destroy all such
nests. Bagworms were very plentiful
this past Summer and it is likely
that nests should be more than usual
In number. Attempts to control this
insect by spraying showed one gar
dener that the usual lead arsenate
spray of one and one-half pounds of
powder to SO gallons Of water is not
strong enough for this vigorous pest.

With such supplements and an &C.
casional turning and wetting, much
Of the decomposition will be &C
complished by next Spring. Burning
Of leaves makes disagreeable smoke,
whereas decomposition in a compost
pile would take place without discom-
fort to anyone. One good quality in
decaying leaves is that they contain
no disease spores harmful to flower
and vegetable plants.
Winter MuIching.
A s A rule, Winter mulches are not
put on plant beds to keep the
bulbs or roots warm but rather to
keep them uniformly cool and to pre-
vent the soil from raising and lower
ing with alternate freezing and thaw-
ing. Some weeks ago, the value Of
mulching pansy beds. with rotted
manure was mentioned in this
column. In the case Of the pansy
no one would think of actually bury
ing the plants with the mulch, for
such procedure would kill them.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-10-19

The mulch simply keeps the frost
from lifting the plants out Of the soil.
Certain lilies, particularly the Regal,
often get started too early in the
Spring, so that the tender shoots get
nipped back.t With such plants. a ligh
mulch Of leaves. peat moss or grass
will keep the soil cool and delay their
start The same situation prevails
with narcissus, tulips and hyacinths.
Chickwed. often a pest in the tulip
beds, cannot get started under an inch
or so of peat moss and early Spring
rains are not so apt to spatter the
blooms with mud. Best of all, when
the bulbs are removed in late Spring,
the mulch works into the soil and
puts it in better condition for the sue
ceeding crops.
Heavy mulching with leaves is just
about as worthless as q light mulch
is worthwhile. What gardener Is
there who has not found this fact

comes to uncover plants such as

usually mild Winter, the plants Of the
more sturdy varieties, such as the two
Radiances, will come through I'M
scathed, but such years are exceptions
and the gardener cannot rely on their
occurrence. The rose does not have a
dormant period like the apple or for
est tree. If warm spell comes in
Midwinter. the buds start freely and
thereby increases the hazard Of in
jury Fortunately, the grower need
not be interested in the over-Winter-
ing Of the entire canes as he would be
in plants that bloom entirely on the
preceding years wood, such. for exam
pie, as the forsythia and Spirea Van
Houtte. In the rose, it matters lit
tic if the top half or even three -fourths
OF the canes are killed. Hence, in late
Autumn, the canes may be cut back
to two feet or more in lenth to pre-
vent whipping in the Winter storms
and loosening the root crown. Final
pruning should be deferred until the
middle of March. The plants should
be mounded with a cone of soil to
height Of eight or nine inches to pro-
tect the lower buds. In small beds.
this additional soil should not be dug
from the beds as such will partly I'M
cover the roots and leave pockets in
which water and ice will collect. Peat
moss may be used to advantage in
mounding but soil is the mos. stable
material. With such a mound, the
plants will survive hard Winters sue

Condition of the plant is vital fac
tor in its ability to pass the Winter.
If it has been frequently defoliated
with black spot, the chances for sur
vival are lessened and in such in
stances one is really not justified in
blaming the variety or the nursery
which supplied the plants. On the
whole. we'll sprayed and fortified

Lawn Care.
AN ENTERPRISING Ohio seed
firm specializing in lawn grass
seed and bent grass cuttings publishes
pamphlet under the above title for
the benefit of its customers and
friends. In one number there is an
article on late moving which suggests
that close cutting very late in the
growing season is not wise as it makes
the grass more subject to Winter
killing. This is sound advice but on
the other hand, those gardeners who
have to rake and re-rake their lawns
for leaves during the next few weeks
md long grass an intolerable handi-
cap. The question of permitting the
leaves to lie on the lawn as protec-
ton is discussed in the same paper
with the opinion expressed that it is
better to rake or sweep the leaves.
When wet and matted the leaves
actually may smother the grass. On
the whole, grass is a mighty sturdy
plant and even during the past two
severe Winters, came through in good

PWA IS HAILED
AS SAVIOR
Of RAILS
International News Service


The Public Works Administra.
ton, pouring almost 100000, 900
into railroad construction and
operation. stimulating 100000, 900
hours of employment, is now
looked to as the vital cog that
will start the wheels of that al
most motionless industry rolling
again.
Further improvement Of rail-
roads comes within the scheme of
enlarged public works to provide
more jobs and eliminate the dole
on which the President and Con-
gresS are now working. They
have concrete results in the rail
road industry to look back on.
Loans to 80 railroad companies
in the last year bit $193,276,500
out of the huge PWA fund.
Called Back To Jobs
More than 52,0OO,0OO Of the
hours of work caused by expendi-
ture of this money were worked
by men and women who we're
called back to work by the rail
road companies and equipment
manufacturers.
The remainder were worked by
persons recalled to employment by
the demand for production of
more than $100,000,000 of mate
rials and supplies purchased by
these concerns. Most important,
this indirect phase of railroad en-
ployment was created in the So
called heavy industries, where un-
employment was, and still is, most
acute.
When the railroad program was
at it's peak last summer, 10000
men and women were directly en-
ployed by the railroad companies
and equipment firms, and it is
estimated that about twice as
many had been called back to
work by industries in every sec.
tion of the country where both
raw and finished materials were
being produced and processed.
Many in Jobs
With $145, 100000 already paid
out by PWA to the railroads,
most of the program finished and
the balance nearing completion,
$4,000 still are directly employed
by the roads and many more
thousands are indirectly employed.
In addition to employment
benefits, the roads were enabled
to make badly needed and long
deferred improvements to their
properties, through which the
public will benefit by improved
service and greater safety.
Evidence indicative of the re-
generative effect of the PWA
loans lies in the figures that
while manufacturers of railroad
freight cars turned out only
1925 units from 1881 to 1888. over
$4,000 units were rolled out in
1894,
