Referred to as ADA

I hold in my hand copies of
the ADA World, the official
publication of the Americans
for Democratic Action. They re-
fer to Stevenson as: Stevenson,

Refers to Trigger CoT
Prior to Nixon Smear

Some light is shed upon the
Importance of this man in the
Stevenson camp by the list Of
long distance phone calls be-
tween the Governors mansion
in Springfield and Wechsler.
This list is available to any
member Of the press who cares
to see it. Perhaps the most i'm
portant of those calls was on
September 16. This call might
be referred to as the trigger
CALI which was made inn
mediately prior to the smear
which Wechsler and two others
launched against Vice Presi-
Dental Candidate Nixon.
Another of the men in the
Democrat candidates camp is
Archibald MacLeish. Stevenson's
biography on page AT, states
that MacLeish was the man who
brought him into the State De-
partment. MacLeish has been
affiliated with as vast q num-
ber of Communist fronts, ac-
cording to the Un- American
Activities Committee, as any
other individual whom I have
ever named. This is the man
who brought Stevenson into the
State Department. This is the
man whom Stevenson now has
helping him on his campaign.
The Democrat candidate says:
Judge me by my friends and
advisers.
I would like to tell you more
about the people who are ad-
vising and guiding the Demo-
crat candidate. but we must
get on to other things.
In his biography. we find on
page 73 that in the summer of
1943, after Mussolini's govern
ment had fallen, Stevenson was
given the task of formulating
Americas postwar policy
toward Italy. Truman, in speak,
ing before an Italian group in
New York on Columbus Day of
this year confirmed this fact.
Gen. Bedell Smith, head of the
Central Intelligence Agency. in
his book and on page IS and 81
Of his sworn testimony, told
what that policy for Italy was
namely to "connive" to bring
Communists into the Italian
government and to bring the
Italian Communist leader. Tog-
liatti. back from Moscow. Smith
did not take any part in formu-
lating that policy.
Evening star., 1952-10-28

ana Inc American people KNOW
that Gen. Eisenhower was as
signed the task of winning the
war in Europe. That was his
job. And he did that job we'll.
He had nothing to do with
establishing State Department
policy.
Now. let us pick up another
piece of the jigsaw puzzle of
StevenSon's history. On Sep
tember % of this year, Admiral
Station, who is a holder of the
Medal of Honor. signed q state
ment covering his experience
with Stevenson after he had
been assigned the task of en-
forcing the law, which ordered
the removal of Communists as
radio operators aboard United
States ships.
Stevenson, who was a special
assistant in the Navy Depart
ment, called Admiral Adolphus
Station to his Office. I quote
Station:
"On arrival, Stevenson told
me he had received six or eight
of the Communist cases which
my board had recommended for
removal and that he wanted to
discuss them with me. Steven
son said that he could not see
that we had anything at all
against them and stated that
we should not be hard on the
Communists. The conference
ended with Stevenson disagree
ing with our recommendations
to fire the Communists.
Admiral Station was shortly
thereafter retired from active
duty.
Another part of the jigsaw of
Stevenson's history is his men,
bership over many years on the
central committee of the World
Citizens Association.
Now Adlai Stevenson was not
a lowly member of this group.
He was on the policy forming
central committee.
This is quite an outfit and
would like to tell you good deal
about it but time runs out so
I shall give you plank S in this
platform, which I hold in my
hand.
Here's what it says, National
States must be subordinate to
world civilization; their jurisdic-
ton must be limited by world
law, and any local legislation
contrary to world law must be
null and void"
What does this mean? 1t
means that world organization
such as the United Nations
could veto any State of Federal
law or any part of our Constitu-
ton. This becomes double
significant in view of the recent
revelations that II of the men
recommended by the State De-
partment to the United Nations
to represent us in that world or
ganization have been suspended
from their jobs because they
refuse to answer whether or not
they are or were members of
the Communist Party.

State Department Policy
Not Eisenhower's Job

And I know what their de-
fense Of Stevenson's plans for
foisting the Communists upon
the Italians will be. They will
say. "Oh, but Gen. Eisenhower
was in command of the Euro
pean armies at that time {.
that he was charged with the
administration of affairs in
Italy" They know, and I know,

large enough to permit the roots
to spread wide. Before setting in
the roots, cut off Clearly any
broken or bruised portions. When
planting bushes in the spring cut
the tops back to about six inches
from the ground, leaving, if pos
slble. a bud on the outside. In
planting make certain the union
point is an inch or so below the
ground in most climates.
Use water plentifully to settle
the soil so there are no air pockets
around the roots, and then fill the
rest OF the hole. For the first

American gardens are hybrid
teas. They come in a variety of
colors from pure whites and yell
lows to deepest reds. The bushes
grow two to three feet in height
and. except in the deep South,
need protection from winter cold.
They like very rich, well-drained
soil and resent competition from
other plants. If you're going to
grow roses, it's best to have a rose
bed. Don't try to blend them in
with a variety of other plants.
Floribunda roses have been ris-
ing in popularity lately. particu-
larly for hedging, bedding and
for providing a flash of color in
a dull spot. They are bush roses,
bearing large flowers in clusters,
bloom for a lengthy period, and
are hearty eaters and drinkers.
Polyanthas are small howered
roses in clusters and the bushes
require approximately the same
care and are used for the same
purposes as the floribundas. Hy-
brid perpetuals produce their big
crop in June. They are close rela-
tives of hybrid teas.
Ramblers are cane roses bear
ing clusters of small roses; climb
ers are canes bearing larger flow-
ers. Rambler canes are plant:
climber canes are stiff.

by the planting instructions. Some
kinds are stem roofing, i.e., have
roots along the stem above the
bulb as well as roots that come
from the base. Such bulbs should
be planted deeply enough, so that
there is plenty of space on the
stem above the bulb and below
the surface of the ground for an
ample number of roots.

The other type have roots only
at the base of the bulb. They
should be planted quite shallow
with not more than 2 inches of
soil over the top of the bulb. This
latter group include the commonly
planted Madonna and the Turk
Cap lilies. The group requiring
deep planting include the Regal,
the Speciesum and Elegeans.
Asparagus roots may be planted
as shallowly as inches or as rec
commended, 8 to 10 inches. When
deeply planted they enjoy a better
supply of moisture, are not in
competition with the shallow
rooted grasses and the crowns are
not injured by deep-cutting. This
indicates that asparagus is not
sensitive to depth of planting, al

seeds dropped on the surface of
the soil develop into strong roots
which in an average soil develop
at depth of 3 to inches below
the surface of the ground.
| How do seeds get down to such
a depth is common question.
The first root sent out by sprout-
ing seed is called the "tractile"
root. 1t takes a firm grip on the
lsoil and contracts, drawing the
seed down into the soil to the
proper depth. Unfortunately. our
woody plants are not so equipped
and do not move about. There
fore. it is up to the gardener to
follow the recommended depth of
planting so that the plants will
flourish.

8 or 10 inches is likely to settle
from to 2 inches. If we try to
allow for settling it is possible to
place the plants in newly worked
soil high enough to offset it. But
some soils will settle more than
others. A soil we'll supplied with
humus certainly will be more open
and porous after working.
| Most kinds of trees and shrubs
have soil line" on the trunk
that marks the depth at which
they grew in the nursery. BY
observing this line and allowing
for settling, it is comparatively
easy to place them at the proper
level. For many kinds this may
be varied an inch either way with
out severe injury. These kinds
mentioned above are the most
particular.
Keep Union Above Ground.
Dwarf fruit trees should be
placed so that the union" is
slightly above or at the ground
level. If planted with the union
below the level of the ground and
covered with soil there is a pos
sibility that the top will grow its
own set of roots and will no longer
be dwarf. If the tree was
planted too deeply, then it be-
comes necessary to uncover the
union each year and remove any
roots that may have developed,
or the soil may be lowered to the
proper level even though that
leaves the tree growing in a de-
preston.
Holly and hemlock trees are
shallow rooted, and we try to OBJ
serve the planting depth, but in
a different fashion. Because they
need an ample supply of moisture
they should be planted in a slight
This catches the sur
face run off and allows it to soak

center of the depression.

to be tolerant to depth of plant

3 MetuseQuoius Planted in .. G.

Three Metasequoia trees. be-
lieved for centuries to have been
extinct, have been planted by
National Capital Parks, Supt.
Edward T. Kelly reports. The
species is the ancestor of the
famed giant Sequoia on the Pacific
Coast and was not known to exist
until 1916, when a Chinese
forester reported discovery in a
central province of China. The
trees are about four feet tall and
were propagated in Sequoia and
Kings Canyon National Parks
from seed imported from China.
One of the trees has been plant
ed in Dumbarton Oaks Park, one
in Lafayette Park and one at the
northeast corner of Twelfth street
and Madison drive in the Mall.

Watch the Planting Depth
Some Plants Are More Sensitive Than
Others-Ponted Too Deep, They Die
By W. n. Younamon
Corden Editor

The instructions say dig tn.
hole larger and deeper than tn.
plant root system, but they seldom
stress the Importance of thu
proper planting depth. Some
plants are so sensitive that il
planted an inch too deep they
will be given a severe setback
The simple task of digging a hole
and parking plant or tree OF
shrub in it is not so simple.
No doubt a part of this con-
fusion comes from working plant
food and humuS into the soil be.
low where the plant is to be set
AS rule we should dig the hole
and then spade compost or other
humus into the area which is
below the planting depth. If this
can be done in advance of plant
ing it will reduce the problem OF
soil settling and carrying the
plant to a greater depth than it
should be.
This settling of the soil is one
OF the major. reasons why peonies
do not bloom-they are planted
too deep. The buds. or eyes, at
the top of the crown should not
have more than 2 inches of soil
over them after the settling has
taken place. Too deep planting
only prevents Towering. For
strawberries it means the loss of
the plants. Strawberry plants
when flrmed into the soil should
have the crown or neck of the
plant level with the surface of the
ground.
Allow for Soil Settling.
With lockwood, camellias and
many other shallow rooted plants.
to set them an inch too deep is
to give them a severe setback.
Two inches to deep is to kill them.
II we work a quantity of humus
into the soil at the bottom of the
planting hole and then set them
at what appears to be the proper
depth, there is a strong likelihood
that when settling mas taken place
the plants will be 700 deep and
suffer from suffocation.
