By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, March 19.-B-- Senate Republican leaders seemed near agreement today on a plan to register-but delay drafting the nations young men for military service.
 The wait -and-see proposal under study by Senators Vandenberg tMieh) and Taft (Ohiol would call for speedy passage of laws to re- viye selective service in the face oi stepped up Communist pressure in Europe. Selectees would be chosen and put on notice.
 But Congress would not push the hutton for inductions unless or until: Q voluntary enlistments continued to lag or @ the world situation grew so grave as to call fer partial or full mobilization of citizen army.
 The prime object of such a law would be to spur immediate en- listments of those subject to call, this filling vacant ranks in line with President Truman's plea for strengthened armed forces.
 This Republican sanswer to MT. Truman's request for universal military training and a limited re- yiYal of selective service is known to lave the enthusiastic backing of. Vandenberg He is the Senate's presiding officer and heads it's Foreign Relations Committee.
 Taft told a reporter he is in- clined to support the plan, but has not made up his mind finally.

This Week in the Garden

Lack of fall rains makes the wa
tering of newly seeded lawns most
important. Frequent sprinklings keep
the sprouting seeds alive and thor
ough soakings will encourage deep
roofing. But avoid washing the soil
and seed away on slopes.
Poa trivialis Danish bluegrass)
also known as rough bluegrass,
should constitute 65 per cent of the
seed in a mixture for the shady
lawn. Kentucky bluegrass, IS per
cent, is the other principal grass
for this purpose. However, one may
well add small percentages of other
lawn grasses to insure good stand
with active growth both in sum-
mer and the cooler seasons. Such
grasses might we'll include Astoria
colonial bent, Chewings red fescue
and Alta fescue. Two pounds per
1000 square feet should produce a
good stand"
It Is possible to injure hedges
by pruning after mid-October, be-
cause this stimulates new growth
which may not harden sufficiently
before freezing weather. Mid-Sep-
tember or earlier is the usual time
for such pruning. Evergreen hedges
and shrubs are best pruned in late
August or mid-March, just before
new growth starts.

If a cold-frame is accessible, place
a few pansy plants in 1t to bloom
during the early winter and early
spring months. Suoh plants will
need water and food and on warm
sunny days the frames should be
opened slightly for ventilation.
Just before frost is expected, begin
withholding moisture from the tu-
berous rooted begonias. If dry they
will soon drop foliage and mature
AS soon as dry they should be stored
in dry sand or vermiculite. Store in
a cool but frost proof situation.
It is not too late to attack the
current weed crop. Weeds with
green seeds may be put in the COM
post pile. Those whose seeds are
ripe but have fallen can be con-
signed to the bonfire. However, If
