u. 5. Urged TO Plant
.0wn Roses Instead
OF European Types
Flower Society Members
Open Annual Meeting
At Smithsonian

Lest war lay its b1iehting hand
on the American garden, this ceun-
try's 100 varieties of wild roses should
be developed and rebed to replace
European varieties.
This proposal was made to the
opening session of TIE 43d annual
meeting of the American Rose So
ciety at the Smithsonian Institution
this morning by DR.. J. A. Gamble,
chairman of the local Potomac Rose
s,ociety's Show Committee.
For many years, DR.. Gamble said,
thousands of Americans have been
attracted by new roses imported
from Europe and featured in seed
( catalogues and magazines. They
have planted these varieties, while
neglecting standard brands more
| fitted to American soil, he went on
Now ships plying to and from Eu-
rope have no room for roses in theii
cargoes and standard American wilc
roses should come into their own.
Testing Ground Proposed.
An American rosarium anc
regional testing ground should bt
set up, DR.. Gamble proposed, as ar
"energizing center" for the move
ment back to the American rose
About 25,000,000 more roses could be
grown every year, he estimated, il
the testing garden could find the
section in which each variety OF
rose would grow best. the limits OF
each type and in what combinations
| they would be most effective.
The roses which bloom along
American country roads, he said
could be the vanguard of a rose
army of occupation for North Amer
ica' if tested for their most pro-
ductive growing region.
About $50 society members from
all over the country also heard DR.
Charles E. Resser, curator of strait
graphic paleontology of the United
States National Museum, discuss
Earliest Records of Roses in North
America" and DR.. T. M. Little, as
| sistant geneticist at the Agriculture
| Departments BeltSville (Md) lab
oratory. speak on Area Spread of
the Wild Rose Species in North

Gardens Are Visited.
After luncheon at the Hotel
Raleigh, the group visited gardens
of DR.. and Mrs. Whitman Cross
BIookville road and East Kirke
street, Chevy Chase, Md, and of Mr.
and Mrs. R. L. Ruffner, LOG Rose
mont avenue, Alexandria, Va. To-
night at 8 o'clock they will attend
round table discussions at Hotel
Raleigh on rose culture in different
parts of the country.
Tomorrow after a business meet
ing at 10 am. members will view
a rose exhibit at the Smithsonian,
which will be open to the public from
2 pm. to 4:30 pm, and pm. to 10
pm. tomorrow, and from 80 to 10
pm. Sunday.
After an informal dinner at 7 pm
tomorrow members will return to the
rose exhibit to learn who won entry
prizes. DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin
president of George Washington
University. will be toastmaster. The
welcome will be given by w. H
Youngman. president of the Poto-

Also speaking will be DR.. L. M
Massey. president of the American
Rose Society. and A. F. Truck of
Tulsa, Okla, trustee of the society.

One Of them, especially platinum blonde
did not hesitate 10 show her feelings. Over

Leaning on the bar. the Baron" watched
! and listened Through half-closed eyes he
looked at these girls. and he inhaled deeply
of their subtle and exciting perfume He
seemed to be reveling in the thought that
here he was conqueror-in the most beau
tiful city in the world.
The platinum blonde was saying it again
No don't want to go with any Fridolin -
And the young officer who had been
pleading with her now made great effort
10 make himself perfectly clear in French.

face away from him. from his lips. With
sudden strength, she pushed him away.
Caught off balance, the officer almost fell
off his stool He was angry, now; really
angry He snarled at her:
You don't want to, you don't want to

that's 1t. A dirty Anglophile, that's what you
are. And what are you doing here. anyway?
Spying on us? You just wait, I'll mention
your name to the Gestapo. You know what
happened to your friend Marguerite, don't
you She was trying to pull this act, too Very
fastidious Very fnicky. We took care of her,
yesterday. TIN be your turn tonight"
The Baron" did not quite approve of this
He was going to try to stop it.
: But, at that moment, things began to
happen. The girl had had too much TO drink,
surely. Now she let herself go completely
her temper and her reason.
She suddenly picked up her glass and
crushed IL against the officers face. Then
they cried out-both of them-the Oberleu-
tnant because the glass had severely cut him
just under his eye, and the girl because the
broken fragments of glass had cut her and
had somehow fastened her hand to the bleed
ing face.
Officers came rushing up and headwaiters

ner of Illicit transactions between Frenehmen
and wealthy foreigners on the one hand and
corrupt Nazi officials and military on the
other.
All this began almost Immediately after
the occupation and was inevitable, of course.
A NaZi officer-let's call him Colonel Won
Reschnecker-soon graciously granted per-
mission for the restaurant TO be reopened and
to resume business heretofore. At the
same time he made 1t quite clear to certain
of the headwaiters that he, the colonel was
in position to grant all manner of favors-
in return of course for substantial sums of
money; the headwaiters who were willing to
cooperate were to receive commissions for all
transactions submitted by them.
In short, the under-cover organization was
soon running smoothly.
A definite scale of prices was established.
Every evening a different officer came to
Maxirns the personal representative of
Colonel Won Reischnecker. This officer always
identified himself by saying that he was The
Baron" The walters who had Joined the
under-cover organization then knew of
course with whom they had to deal on this
given evening.
Monsieur Alfred found himself in the posi-
ton of being able to be of great service to
his clients, on occasion; and, incidentally, of

ingratiating himself with an increasing num-
Der of German officers.
Some care had to be taken however: the
organization could not operate too openly for
the officers of the Kommandatur were con-
stantly being sped on by the Gestapo agents,
and all of them were more or less under
observation by Embassy representatives.
Alfred knew, however, that he need never
worry too much. He had good reason to be-
eve that all these shady transactions went
on with the tacit consent of the highest Nazi
authorities; and that at least a part of all
this money was destined to go directly into
the Golfers of National Socialist Party The
Treasury of the German Reich it gen.
orally known could not substitute the Party
directly.
Alfred, surely, had no occasion to be con-
cerned. But he was shrewd enough not to
reveal that he understood the true state of
affairs; he proceeded with great caution and
discretion. The one thing that mattered of
course. was that Maxim's continued to be the
one outstanding night-spot in Paris; the one
place where people who really counted auto
matically drifted to at nightfall. AS in the
good old days, the wealthy and the power
full flocked to Maxim's-to forget, to amuse
themselves. to flirt. Now a certain number
came, regularly to conspire.

In less than a minute, the two
principals of the drama had disap-
peared, together with the four officers
who had been detailed to escort them.
The Baron now sat down one
of the vacated stools of the bar. The
bartender. conscientiously, was remov-
