D. {. Heads Seek 10 Buy
Buses 10 Serve Glenn Dale

The Commissioners today author
lied Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Joseph D. Arthur, jr., to ne
gotiate for. the purchase, rent or
charter Of buses to provide service
for Glenn Dale Sanatorium at the
earliest possible moment.
The matter came before the Com
missioners because seven bus COM
panies failed Saturday to submit
bids for the Glenn Dale bus service.
The Districts original terms pro-
vided for leased buses to be operated
by District drivers, which the pri-
vate companies said was objection
able because of the question of liza
bility In accidents.
The 1945 District supply bill au-
thorized the Commissioners to in
augurate the bus service to the In
stitution as an incentive in the re-
cruitment of permanent and volun-
teer workers. Because of the acute
personnel shortage admissions have
been limited to emergency cases.

British Economist Gloomy
Over Postwar Employment
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, July 17.-Harold Laski
economist and professor at the Uni
versity OF London, said yesterday he
was gloomy" about the future of
the world because 1 do not see how
the free enterprise system in Amer
lea can lead to full employment"
Speaking on a special short-wave
broadcast by Freedom Forum, a
presentation of the University of
Chicago Round Table, Prof. Laski
added that the hope of avoiding an
American postwar depression was
not great because the philosophy
OF the American businessman TODAY
seems to be exactly like it was in
1922
He agreed with Geoffrey Growth
er, editor of the Economist, who de-
clared that American listeners
should realize that we are more
frightened of an American depres-
sion after the war than we are of
a British depression. We want to
be sure that America will not allow
another gigantic depression"

Rare Black Orchid Discovered
Growing in Fairfax County
6. n. KernodIe Finds
Specimen Sought
Long by Botonists

The black color phase of the
terrestrial orchid has been found
for the first time growing in nearby
Fairfax County, Va, by a wild
flower lobbyist who feels q little
"sheepish" about having stumbled
upon an important discovery in the
province of trained botanists.
George H. Kernodle, 1927 Wis
consin avenue NV, discovered the
new color phase of the moccasin
flower while searching for specimens
for his wild garden, which is devoted
largely to native orchids.
Black orchids occur infrequently
in the arboreal group-those that
grow in the hollows Of trees in
the South American jungles-but
until now the black phase of the
terrestrial group-those that grow
on the ground-had never been 1e-
ported.
The color actually is very deep
wine red. This saturation of color
is the exact opposite of the also
rare white, or albino phase. Mr.
Kernodle interprets the occurrence
according to Mendelism, which rec
ognizes a latent tendency in propa-
cation toward albinism, or, on the
other hand, a saturation of color.
Mr.. Kernodle has found four of
the rare flowers in the same area,
in different clumps of plants. In
the normal flower, the pouch is
pink with darker veining and the
petals are shaded with green or
brown. while in the black specimen
the pouch is so dark that the veining
appears light in contrast, and the
petals are a dense red.
To the scientific name of this
species-Cypripedium Acaule-would
be added "atro rubra" (dense red)
in describing the black color phase.
After finding the first two speci-
mems, Mr.. Kernodle called the Belts
vile (Mdo Research Center, which
sent over for one of the flowers. The
National Geographic Society photo
graphed the other blossom for a
feature article. and then it also was
sent to Beltsville.
Nine. Charles Bruggemann, wife
of the Swiss Minister, became in
terested' in the discovery when she
happened to pass Mr. Kernodle's
home as the orchid was being sent
out to the research center. She
turned back to inquire about it, and

then visited Mr.. Kernodle to learn
more of the details.
Mr.. Kernodle took the Brugge-
manns to the site of his find the
next time he went, and they found
two more black orchids in the same
area.
These plants will continue to bear
black blooms as long as they live,
but a strain Of the black variety
could be established only by cross
fertilizing black with black" Mr..
Kernodle said. "Botanists have
never succeeded in growing these
plants from seed and until the
method of doing this is discovered,
black specimens will remain ex-
tremely rare" The tendency among
plants toward distinct color varia-
ton from normal would occur in
the approximate ratio of one to 500,
he added.
There are as many as 1000 vari-
eties of wild flowers east of the
Rockies and among them is every
significant nothing you see growing
in the fields" he declared. 1T
hardly seems fair to have an anna
