Water Garden Plants Do Best
In Separate Containers
BY AMATEUR GARDENER

NOW THAT May is a week
old you will want TO get the
water garden started if you
have not already done SO.
Conditions under which water
lilies and other water plants
grow naturally are easily pro-
duced. Whether your pool be
large or small il is a good plan
10 have the plants growing in
separate containers as they are
much easier handled. although
this is not absolutely necessary.
Allow at least one cubic foot
o. soil for each water lily and
more if possible because TO OBJ
tain satisfactory growth in
boxes or containers there must
be enough room for sufficient
soil to supply plenty of food.
Just one plant in box about
Is inches square and about
foot deep and filled with the
proper soil will develop remark.
able blooms.
Mix the Soil
The best soil for water lilies
Is a mixture of three parts
fibrous loan or good garden soil
with one part of we'll rotted
COW manure. A heavier soil is
also satisfactory and gives good
results if mixed with manure
several months ahead of time.
Almost any kind of manure
may be used but not when it is
fresh as its fermentation will
foul the water and likely injure
the young plants.
In the place of the manure a
commercial fertilizer has been
developed especially for water
plants that gives satisfactory
results.
Keep Water Clean
Water lilies should be planted
so the crown is just even with
the surface of the soil. which is
then covered with an inch of
sand or gravel to keep the
water clean.

For Aircraft Labor Peace

The aircraft plan would call for
a national overall committee, with
separate agreements for various geo.
graphical areas.
Invitations to meetings on this
proposal will be issued within a
few days to both management and
unions.
The o. P. NJ official said that
the principal unions involved would
be the machinists, the c. I. o. Auto
mobile Workers and the pattern
makers.
One of the aims will be two
year contracts which would provide
stability in wages and no Interrupt

these developments at press con-
ference called to express his graft

labor during the 1rst year of the

A report sharply critical OF the

submitted to the House Military
Affairs Committee today by some,
of its members-but administration
forces temporarily blocked its pub
lication.
The study, prepared after weeks

presented for full committee ap-
proyal. but one administration
member of the committee was re-
ported to have raised the question
that less than half the 25 members
were present.
The meeting then ended abruptly,
but another was arranged for later
in the day and some Republicans
said that by that time they would
have the votes to force publication.
One Democratic member said the
report was "the most serious in,

Ramspeck Bill

BySenateUnit
Author of Measure
Believes Plan Will
Result in Savings
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

A Senate subcommittee late
today announced its approval of
the Ramspeck bill to establish a
uniform system of promotions
within grades for Government
employees covered by the ClasSi-
fication Act. The bill already has
been passed by the House.
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York announced the subcommittee S
action at the close of a hearing at
which the bill was indorsed by the
Budget Bureau, Civil Service Com
mission and employe organizations
Senator Mead expressed hope the
entire Civil Service Committee
would consider the bill in the next
few days to expedite its passage.
For the first year it would call
for an appropriation of s5,500,000
which would taper off gradually to
an average of S2,900,000 a year over
a 10-year period. Representative
Ramspeck, Democrat, of Georgia
said he has reason to believe the
House Appropriations Committee
will provide necessary funds if the
bill remains in substantially its pres
ent form.
Two Indorse Bill.
Luther c. Steward of the National
Federation of Federal Employees and
Charles 1. Stengle of the American
Federation of Government Employees
both Endorsed the Ramspeck- Mead
bill. Miss Eleanor Nelson of the
United Federal Workers of Amer
lea said that organization prefers
the Downey bill for automatic an
nual promotions, but takes the view
regarding the pending bill that
ANY raises are better than no
raises" If the pending bill is ap-
proved, she asked for a modifica-
ton of one section.
Representative RamSpeck told
the subcommittee that he believed
the bill would save the Government
money and improve employe morale
The bill seeks to lay down a uni
form rule for promtions as follows
Employees receiving less than $4,000
year could be advanced one step
within their grade every 18 months
depending on efficiency ratings.
Above $4,000, employees could be
advanced every 80 months.
The pending bill grew out a

in Mr.. RamSpeck's prediction the

He pointed out that while S2,900,-

a 10-year period, the cost neceSsar-

because of the back log" of en-
