molstened soil is easier to handle
and is not as likely to fall apart
during the moving.
2. AS soon as the plant is in
place thoroughly soak the area,
including the root ball and the
soil used in filling in the hole.
Also water adjacent soil to insure
that dry soil close by does not
absorb the moisture.
8. Mulch the surface of the
ground to reduce evaporation.
This is especially good for ever
green's, azaleas and rhododen-
drons-plants that need q cool
root-run if the roots are to func-
ton properly.
4. Reduce the loss Of moisture
through the leaves by erecting a
screen to cut off sun and wind, re-
moving a portion of the leaves of
the hollies and holly-grapes by
stripping and cutting back the tips
of limbs. or thinning the limbs for
others, as well as the narrow
leaved evergreens.
S. For large and valuable trees
and shrubs, it is good insurance to
syringe the foliage with clear
water two or three times a day
during the heat of the summer.
6. And. from time of setting out
until there is no doubt that the
plant is well established and on
it's way, the feeding area should
be kept moist. This means that
whenever the soil becomes dry
from lack of rainfall, the hose
should be turned on and the soil
moiStened to a good depth. Such
a watering will last a week or
more, even in periods of drought.
7. And, finally, the use of liquid
fertilizers - those prepared for
transplanting, is worthy of trial.
They supply plant elements in al
form readily assimilated. and more
contain higher per-
centage Of phosphates than the
ordinary plant foods. Newly set
out plants need an ample supply
OF phosphate. especially in this
area where phosphates are sol
commonly lacking in our soils.
Follow the manufacturers di-
rectlon and do not apply more
often than once a month on woody
plants. But. this should be termi-
mated in early summer so that the
new growth of the woody plants
will have time to mature before
winters freezes.

Senator Byrd Files
For denomination in
Primary on July IS
By the Associoisd Press

RICHMOND. Va. April 10
Senator Byrd today paid his filing
fee as a candidate for renomina-
ton to the Senate from Virginia
subject to the July Is Democratic
primary.
Payment of the $3.50 fee to the
State treasurer was the first def
mite public indication that the
senior Virginia Senator intended
to seek reelection. His friends.
however. regarded his candidacy
as a forgone conclusion.
The filing fee was mailed from
Washington and Senator Byrd,
himself, had no immediate COM
ment on his candidacy. Only last
week at Norfolk, he told reporter
he thought he would have to do
like President Truman and make
up his mind soon on whether to
run again.
No Opponent Yet.
No opponent for the Democratic
nomination has yet filed against
Senator Byrd although the anti
organization wing of the party has
indicated it intends to run a can
didate against him-probably Col.
Francis P. Miller of Charlottes-
vile, who unsuccessfully opposed
Gov. Battle in the 1949 guberna-
torial primary.
Senator Byrd. a member Of the
Senate since 1888, has been the
Senate's big voice of governmental
economy. His opposition to much
of the New Deal and Fair Deal
programs led to President Tru-
mans remark last year that there
"are too many B-Y-R-D-S in the
Senate"
Friend of Russell.
But it was the fight against
Mr.. Truman's civil rights program
that led to the Southern revolt in
which Senator Byrd was leader
He apparently played large part
in persuading his colleague, Sena-
tor Russell, Democrat. of Georgia
to become a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton before Mr.. Truman an
nounced that he did not intend to
seek reelection.
Senator Byrd was appointed to
the Senate to fill the unexpired
term of the late Claude A. Swan
son and was elected handily for
six-year terms in 1884, 1910 and
1916.
Senator Byrd is on the powerful
Finance Committee, the Armed
Services Committee and is chair
man of the Joint Committee on
Federal Expenditures.
Senator Byrd, now 64, publishes
newspapers at Winchester and
Harrisonburg, and is one Of the
Nations largest fruit growers, with
orchards in Virginia and West
Virginia. ..-.

Laborifes FiIibusfer
AGAINST Health Fee
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, April 10.-Filibuster-
ing Laborites threatened today to
log jam Winston Churchill's whole
Legislative program unless his
Government drops its plans to
charge fees for the State health
service and repeal Socialist state
ownership bills.
Led by determined Aneurin
Bevan, the Socialists forced the
House to sit into the early morn
ling hours for the third night in
a row to debate amendments to
the health service charges.
The Laborites have offered 130
amendments. After three nights
of increasingly angry argument
lis of them still face the House
Mr.. Bevan warned the same de-
laying tactics will be used against
every Conservative bill, including
the routine appropriation for ordi-
nary administrative functions, il
the government insists upor
forcing this legislation through
the House"
He specifically demanded the
government also drop it's bill:
to turn the steel industry anc
long-distance truck lines back te
private owners.
Mr.. Churchill earlier hac
quelled impatience among hi
Conservative followers by promis
ing quick action on these meas
ureS.
The bill now in the Hous'
would charge fees for dental work
false teeth, wigs and prescriptions
saving an estimated $58.8 milliol
a year in the cost of the healtl
service and leaving $1.120.000 ,00
to be met from payroll deduction
and general taxes.
The argument over it resume
later today.

|Biq Scale Medical Care
For G|s' Dependents
Held |nfeasibIe Now
By Wallace {. Clayton

Senator Lehman, Democrat. Of
New York. said today he doubted
if voluntary health insurance
plans are prepared now to handle
medical care of dependents of
servicemen on a national scale.
Mr.. Lehman, chairman of a
Senate Health subcommittee con-
sidering legislation to provide
Federal funds for maternal and
infant care of those dependents,
said, however. there should be no
encouragement of use of the VOL
untary plans on State levels.
II do not believe any plan can
say now that they are ready to
handle this on a national, uniform
level" he said.
Finish Hearings on Bills.
Senator Lehman's group, a sub
committee of the Senate Labor
Committee, concluded hearings or
bills introduced by him and by
Senator Humphrey, Democrat, OF
Minnesota. The SomeWhat-similar
bills would set up programs like
the Emergency Maternity and
Infant Care program of Worlo
War II.
Administration of the programs
would be by the separate States
after approval of the Federal
Government.
E. A. Van Steenwyk, a spokes-
man for the national Blue Cross
voluntary health insurance plans
recommended that any Fedora
funds earmarked for this care be
used to underwrite general health
insurance plans for servicemen.
However, he said he did moi
think it would be possible to sci
up two separate plans-one pro-
viding only for payment of ma.
ternal and infant care costs, anc
the other providing general med
ical care for dependents.
FavOrs CT Deductions.
Mr.. Van Steenwyk testified ir
favor of a proposal to the sub
committee two weeks ago by q
spokesman for the American Hos
pital Association. The A. H. A
suggested the Federal Government
allow payroll deductions from
servicemen to insure health care
for their dependents.
The association also suggested
that the Federal Government pay
a portion of the insurance pre-
miums as private industry does
now.
When Mr.. Van Steenwyk re-
marked that enrolment in the
Blue Cross plan had increased
from IS million at the end of the
last war to 40 million today, Sen
ator Humphrey said:
Possibly this furore around
the country about a nationa
health insurance program ha:
stimulated your subscriptions"
