Hotel Loan to Be Studied.
The final week of hearings will
begin with an inquiry into back
ground of a SIS million RFC loan
to George D. Sax of Chicago for
construction of the Saxony Hotel
at Miami Beach, Fla. The loan
was approved after the hotel was
built. the money was used to pay
off construction costs. and the
loan was repaid, subcommittee Of
f1cials said.
The subcommittee wants to de-
termine whether the loan to a
luxury hotel was in the public
interest and whether any Wash
ington Political personages or
others were free guests at the
hotel. Investigators have exam
ined some of the guest lists. They
said the inquiry centered only on
names that might have had some
influential connection with the
loan.
Wednesday and Thursday will
be given over to hearings on a
Central Iron & Steel Co. loan from
RFC. Shortly after that loan
was granted in September, 1949,
Joseph H. Rosenbaum, a Wash
ington attorney, and former Rep
resentative Joseph E. Casey, now
practicing law here, hired Hubert
B. Steele. a former RFC examiner
who had recommended the loan,
the subcommittee reported.

Irate criticism of high prices is
the common theme these days
when the readers write.
That fact stood out in an As
sociated Press survey this week
of Letters to the Editor" columns
in newspapers from Portland, Me-,
to Portland, Greg.
This was a typical remark:
"Prices of bare necessities SIM
ply stagger me-"
Here were the trends on major
home front topics:
/. Wages and prices
General agreement that controls
are necessary, but virtual unanim-
ity in blasting price levels as too
high. These expressions some
times were coupled with attacks
on the size of the tax program.
2. Mobilization
Much agreement that mobiliza-
ton is needed, but considerable
belief it should apply mainly to
the other fellow-particularly on
the draft. Mothers are up in
arms against 18-year-old sons
bearing guns. But young wives
are just as opposed to a draft Of
husbands.
3. American troops for Europe
Wide diversion. along the lines
of "the great debate" with op-
position strongest in the Mid
West. Those in favor argue that
Russian aggression must be
stopped before it gobbles up West
Europe's resources and turns on
the United States. Those opposed
call for making America strong
and avoiding dispersion in "for-
eign entanglements."
Split on Korea War.
4. The Korean war
A sharp split on the wisdom of
getting into it in the first place
and on staying there now, with
the opposition strongest again in
the midwest. Those in favor of
seeking the war through, includ-
ing a number of veterans, say it
may prevent bigger war later.
Opponents ask whether the cost
in lives is worthwhile. Some &C
cuse the other United Nations of
sharing too little of the burden.
Some express vagueness as to
what the fighting is Ill about.

1t was learned that the two men
had an earlier private exchange of
views which left Mr.. Dulles with
the impression that Mr.. Malik was
willing to continue their conversa-

This exchange was before real

GRETNA, Va.-E. w. Cooke OF
Gretna this year grew what is
probably the first irrigated bright
tobacco in the Old Belt.
Because of his ingenuity and
knowledge of conservation prac.
Itices. he was able to get water for
his crop when the farmers around
him were looking at the skies
hoping for rain.
But the small amounts of rain
which fell on Virginia soils this
summer didn't pose a serious
problem for Cooke. He had built
a farm pond on his place for rec
lreation and fishing.
Soil Conservation Service tech
nicians examined the soil ano
measured the distance and ele-
ivations. They found how fast
the soil would take up water ano
how much and what size pipe
would be needed to cover the
fields. They determined that he
had enough water in the pond tc
do the job.
Mr.. Cooke then bought a pump
with a 25-horsepower gasoline mo-
tor. He used aluminium pipe TO,
his main lateral.
His irrigation equipment was
designed to cover IL acres in 5L
days by moving the laterals three
tlmes daily. The water was an.
pied at the rate of fourteenth,
inches per hour. He used hi,

applied 4 inches of supplemental,

Fall Planting Factors
There Are Reasons Why Deciduous
Shrubs Are Better Planted Now
By w. n. Younomdn

There are a number of factors
which should influence the gar
deners in fall planting Of shrubs
and trees besides the nurserymen's
desire to have a second selling
season. Some of these factors are
against the practice while others
point in favor, and, Of course.
there are the exceptions to the
rule.
In the first place most nursery
men dig their dormant deciduous
plants (they drop their leaves in
the falD and store them in ware
houses. Part of this stock is sold
in the fall and the rest in the
spring. Good warehouse storage
is generally safe and when well
handled. spring sold material is
just as good as freshly dug. Poor
storage conditions. however, will
weaken the plant so that in the
spring it is of little value for
planting.
Washington winters are gener-
ally mild and so fall planted
shrubs start root growth before
the soil is warm and dry enough
to be spaded. This early root
action thus gives a fall planted
deciduous shrub an advantage
over a spring planted one. Fur
ther, our falls are usually long
and mild. giving the gardener
ample time in which to do a thor
ough and painstaking job of soil
preparation and planting. In the
spring, however. the period be-
tween the time the soil is work
able and the beginning Of active
top growth is relatively short.
Also, the gardeners time is needed
for the sowing of seeds and other
spring jobs.
Handling in Dormant Period.
Deciduous shrubs and trees are
dormant, with little or no shock
during such a period. They be-
come dormant after a killing frost
and even though considered ten
der in this area, they mature the
wood so early. that they seldom
suffer freeze injury. During this
dormant period they may be han
died without soil on the roots, pro-
vided some other material is kept
on the roots to prevent drying
Exposing the roots to air and sun
is to allow the feeding roots to
be seriously injured if not killed.
This can happen at any season.
but too often the inexperienced
gardener. thinking that a dormant
plant may be handled with con-
siderable freedom, does not take
the necessary precaution to pre-
vent the roots drying. Keep them
covered with wet material at all
times, standing in a pail of water
is a good practice until placing
them in the planting hole. They
Evening star., 1951-10-28

should not be submerged in wa
ter for more than a few hours.
Spring planting is to the gar
dener's advantage if the soil can
not be properly leveled and pre-
pared in time for fall planting. It
is recommended for an exposed,
windswept situation where drying
winds will sap the moisture from
the twigs and branches before the
roots can start to function. CWhile
we are speaking of deciduous
shrubs, this factor Is the primary
reason why we do not recommend
planting Of evergreens after the
middle OF Octoher.)
There are few kinds of woody
plants which do not seem to with
stand fall planting as well as they
do spring planting. The tulip pop
lar. birch. dogwood, lilacs, etc,
are the more commonly grown
members of this group. They can
be, and often are. transplanted in
the fail and seemingly survive
without injury, but the chances
are that they will do better in
the spring.
Demand Is Great.
Another important considera-
tion favoring fall planting is the
rather commonplace experience
OF being unable to obtain the de-
sired kinds, varieties or sizes in
the spring. Urban expansion has
created terrific demand for trees
and shrubbery which cannot be
filled until the plants are grown.
The nurseryman with all of his
skill and know-how cannot create
stock overnight. 1t takes from
two to 10 years to grow a new
plant, depending upon the kind
and variety and the size.
With all fall planting it is de-
Sirable to mound the soil up about
the stem or trunk to prevent
standing water. The freshly
worked soil can easily become a
pocket of ice unless it is high
enough to turn water away. Even
a shallow pocket filled with water
will crust over during a freeze and
the ice collar may cut the bark,
particularly of large trees and
shrubs that are not securely
anchored. Severe cuts will stop
the flow of sap and the entire top
will die.
Fall planting in the Washing
ton area normally begins about
the middle of November. However,
nursery stock purchased from
Northern areas, is dormant earlier
than locally grown or Southern
grown and that determines the
planting date. Texas and Cali
fornia grown rose bushes do not
become dormant normally until
midwinter and hence are not
ready for planting here in the
fall unless forced into an artificial
dormancy.

While many people are talking
about the cool, almost frosty
weather, and the likelihood of
killing frosts, most gardeners are
more concerned with the pro-
longed drought. When is it going
to end? There are many fall gar
dening chores that we should like
to take care of but the ground
is so dry and hard that it takes
far more effort than normal to
dent the soil.
There are many planting chores
coming up-bulbs to be planted;
pansies to be tucked into beds,
dormant rose bushes should be
coming In a matter of three or
| four weeks, and all of the other
kinds of shrubs and trees that
can be planted in the fall. The
soil should be prepared as far in
advance as possible for them, but
it is dry and hard. If water is
available, the sprinkler can be
turned on for several hours to
moiSten the soil to a good depth
Where that is possible the soil
can be worked a day or two after
the soaking without undue effort
Where water is not available soil
preparation will require more ef-
fort, but it can be done, perhaps
not for as many plants as
planned for. The digging of the
soil and the mixing in of humus
(peatmoss. compost or other ma.
terials) to tighten the soil and in
|creasing its moisture holding ca
Ipacity. should be carried to a good
depth regardless of the soils dry
ness. The old saying of Its bet
ter to put a 25-cent plant in 9
50 hole than a So plant In a 25-
cent hole" still holds. You'll get
better results that way, even if
the soil is dry and hard.
