Tax Collector 0usfed
By Truman Acquitted
By San Francisco Jury
BY the Associoted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10
James G. Smyth, third OF the
Scandal-riddled Internal Revenue
Bureaus ousted collectors to be
tried, has been acquitted of back
dating his own 1945 income tax
returns to defraud the Govern
ment.
Two other ousted collectors
Dennis w. Delaney of Boston and
James P. Finnegan of st. Louis
were convicted earlier this year.
A Federal Court jury of eight
women and four men last night
freed Smyth after celebrating
seven hours. They acquitted him
of three charges after he and
others testified his returns were
duplicates. filed to replace lost
originals.
Two Indictments Remain.
The nattily dressed deposed col
lector for Northern California
commented:
I'm so happy. One OF those
trials is enough for a lifetime"
However, two other indictments
remain against Smyth. One, re-
turned in December, was called
vague" by Federal Judge Alber
Fee. A new indictment to replace
that one was the basis for the
trial at which Smyth was ac-
Quilted. However, the vague"
indictment has not formally been
dismissed.
Another indictment was re-
turned just before the Today trial
started. Judge Fee refused toI
consider it, but it still must be
disposed of.
This indictment, termed "cor-
rective" by Federal attorneys &C
cused Smyth and his ousted chief
deputy, Paul v. Doyle, of conspir-
ing to backdate Smyth's returns.
Fired by Truman.
Smyth was dismissed by Presi-
dent Truman November % on
charges of failing to manage his
Office properly after a Federal
grand jury was called to investi-
gate reputed scandals in his de-
partment.
He then was charged with
backdating returns for himself
and his wife in an effort to evade
$4O2 in penalties and interest.
The accusations OF an improp-
erly managed Office led to indict-
ments against several Smyth
aides. Doyle awaits trial on a
charge Of backdating returns for
three estates.
Two other former Smyth aides
and a stock Saleman were con-
victed recently of conspiring to
defraud the Government by
promising immunity from tax
fraud prosecution. They are Err
nest M. (Mike) Schino, dis
charged field deputy here; Pat
rick Mooney. retired chief field
deputy for Nevada, and Martin
M. Hartman, salesman.

Plan Your Garden on Paper

considered in drawing the plan:
/. Perennial crops such as
asparagus. strawberries and rhu-
barb should be located at one
side of the garden.
2. Tall-growing crops such as
corn must be kept away from
small crops like beets and carrots,
to avoid shading.
8. Provide for succession crops,
q fall garden, small fruits and
over-wintered crops to mature
early in the spring.
4. Early planted, fast-growing
cuick-maturing crops should be
grouped together. Examples
Radishes. lettuce. early cabbage
scallions, beets, etc.
5. Provide plenty Of vegetables
for canning. freezing and storing
6. Do not overplant new vari-
eties, vegetables which the family
does not like, or too much of any
one vegetable at one time.
z. Rows should follow across
the slope Con the contour) in hilly
areas.
8. Make sure the plan provides

Chrysonthenuns
Give Bright Color
Into Late Fall

Few blooming plants have as
much to offer in the garden as
the hardy chrysanthemum. It be-
comes their job. to carry color on
Into the late fall. At this time.
ANIMALS are usually straggly and
almost at the end of their bloom
and the garden is apt to need col
or badly. It is then the chrysan-
themum bursts forth with its rich
fall tones.
Chrysanthemums are one Of the
easiest of all plants to grow. Their
requirements are simple as any
average soil, normal moisture and
Sunshine meet their needs. The
only drawback to their greater
popularity has been the depend
able varieties available for the
garden.
The reliably hardy kinds. for
the most part, have been small
and insignificant in flower and
mot particularly striking In color.
Then, too, they have not been
early enough blooming to assure
their Towering before cold
weather.
But today. much improvement
and development has taken place
in crysanthemumS. Hybridizers
have been hard at work and the
results are beginning to show.
The flowers of new varieties are
large and brilliantly colored. The
plants are hardy in. any climate,
and strong vigorous growers. And
the blooming period has been
extended by breeding for earlier

Before the garden season starts,
a good gardener will plan his
garden on paper. Perhaps one Of
the most important reasons for
planning the garden is to stretch
the harvest season. You can get
a continuous supply Of vegetables
from early spring to late fall from
q well-planned garden. Spinach
planted in the fall will live over
winter and can be picked in the
spring. Careful planning win de-
crease the necessity Of canning,
freezing and storing great guam
titles Of food. Vegetables picked
fresh for three or eight months Of
the year not only decrease the
amount needed to be preserved,
but also provide a fresh source OF
vegetables for the family table.
A good family vegetable garden
will provide an economical and
continuous supply Of fresh, nutri-
tious vegetables throughout the
entire garden season. If you are
an urban gardener with a fairly
small plot. you should expect to
get at least $100 worth Of fresh
vegetables from a good garden. II
you are q farm gardener or urban
gardener with plenty of. space,
you should expect to get even
more. especially If you plan to can
freeze and store some vegetables
Your family garden should be
located as near the house as pos
sible. The following important

Woods Iris

The woods iris are dainty little
spring bloomers that thrive in a
poor sandy soil. Iris verna prefers
a heavier shade than the daintier
crested iris. Both like a we'll

like to be in a soil that has been
well enriched with leafmold-it
holds the moisture and keeps their
roots cool.
Iris verna. sometimes called
the vernal iris. has lavender blue,

The National Capital Flower and
Garden Show. which opened
Thursday at the National Guard
Armory, brought to Washington
flower lovers and gardeners q
wealth Of beauty and helpful in
formation. It would be hard for
any one visiting the show not to
get ideas, whether they are window
gardeners from an apartment
house or a plain dirt gardener
from the suburbs. Even the
rooming-houSe Government gal
will find new ideas in the handling
Of cutflowers. bouquet or corsage.
And, the fellow who has been
reading about Merton bluegrass,
that Kentucky bluegrass that, is
guaranteed to stay green all sum-
mer and fight the crabgrass, will
have an opportunity to see it
growing.
The backyard gardener seeking
ideas on how to plant his lot with
attractive shrubs will find them
growing and in, many cases. in
flower. One clever exhibit has q
foundation planting around a cot
tage-the one side shows the win
ter effect of the shrubbery, while
the other shows it in the spring
with Towering bulbs in bloom.
Most Of the shrubs in flower are
the early-Sprin bloomers, but
there are lovely 15-foot magnolia
trees on display and they normally
flower in June and July in the
Washington area.
Trees Make It Natural.
Among the unexpected plants on
display are two wistaria vines,
one Of them in flower. Several
camellia bushes are to be found
in the various exhibits. The Glen
wood Road Garden Club has a
camellia garden in the garden club
section.
Perhaps the most startling fea-
ture for the visitor will be the large
trees go to 40 feet high, which
have been used to carry out the
overall landscape plan. They
completely eliminate the vastness
Of the Armory'S floor space. OF
course, there are scores of dog
wood trees in flower that help
create a spring atmosphere.
Thousands Of azalea bushes pro-
vide a mass of color and beauty
that carries the visitor away with
the brilliance of it all.
While the garden designs and
paintings will take the attention
OF great many visitors, there are,
and will be throughout the show,
an outstanding display of artistic
arrangements. all in well-planned
settings. The furnished rooms,
which provide the background for
q number of different classes of
arrangements, all look out on at
tractively planted small gardens,

clubs in the 1850 show.

In addition to the many and
varied flower arrangements in the

to displays of their flowers en-
ployed in a multitude of ways.

Muscles Eused
By Mechanical Aid

The suburbanite is the man
who really is in need Of help.
After q week at his desk, he tries
to NOW the yard. cultivate the
garden and do the multitude Of
jobs about the place during his
Saturday and Sunday at home.
Admittedly. none Of the jobs is Of
such proportions that a normal.
healthy individual can not get
them done. but few will deny that
most suburbanites find chores
about the home putting kinks in
more kinds Of muscles than any
of us can name.
If the average home owner
could arrange his work so that q
part Of this exercise could be OBJ
tained each day, 1t Is doubtful
that it would prove burdensome.
But. since this is hardly practical
in modern living, the out-of-door
chores are usually piled high for
the week end. To tighten this
load and to avoid aching muscles,
many home owners are finding
the modern power equipment
most helpful. While some may
question the need for a garden
tractor for a 40 by so foot plot.
most gardeners who have them
swear never to be without one be-
cause they take the drudgery out
|of gardening. Other equipment Is
available which will make the
week end gardening chores much
lighter and far more enjoyable.
The choice Of equipment for the
suburban home should be guided
by the mechanical aid needed. If
the lawn is extensive. then a good
lawn mower is most important.
It should be light enough so that
the woman Of the house or the
youngsters can operate 1t. The
height of cut should be easily
regulated and with a minimum
not less than 2 inches.
Mower Must DO the Job.
Moreover. a lawnmower that
will cut only the center Of the
yard is hardly a help because
there is still the trimming around
the shrubbery, the terrace and
other hard-to-do spots. Unless the
lawnmower can do these jobs and
the height of cut is easily adjust
able, 1t is not giving the mechan-
Iical aid needed. Whether it has
"reel" type of cutter or q rotary
blade (rotaries are not self-pro-
pelled) Is not the point, but
rather, will 1t cut the buckhorn as
well as the crabgrass? If it won't.
then some one must go over the
yard again with a whip" to finish
the Job. Cutting the lawn is a Job
that lasts from April through Oc-
tober so make 1t as easy to do a.
possible.
Cultivating the garden is anoth-
er weekly job lasting from early
spring until late fall. The plow-
ling job needs doing only once or
twice a year. hence a tractor
heavy enough to turn q furrow is
Itoo heavy to push around for the
|rest Of the season. Weight is an
important consideration; heavy
tractors mean heavy loads to
handle. Big tractors require wider
spacing of the rows which does not
permit the maximum return from

sy GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK P-Ths pitchless
wonders of Brooklyn have put it
Squarely up to their wonderful
rookie reliever, Joe Black, to set
them off OH the right foot against
the favored Yankees in the World
Series opener tomorrow at Ebbets
Field.
Never before in big league his
tory has a champion of either cir
cult been forced to undertake such
a desperate gamble. Other rockies
have been called upon in the inn
portant first game. and there have
been bullpen specialists before.
But the combination of the two.
out there trying to turn back the
BomberS before the eyes of the
nation, will be unprecedented.
Manager Chuck Dresser took
calculated risk when he nominated
the 2S-year-old Negro freshman to
duel with the YankS' mighty Allie
Reynolds, as great money pitch
er as there is in the game today
He could have held his relief
ace back and been assured of late
inning insurance as long as the big
playoff lasts. He chose TO play II
bold. TO stake his hopes of world
championship on one throw of the
cubes.
If Black, an unperturable con-
troll specialist, pitches up TO his
brilliant form of the regular cam
paign, he will give Reynolds
mighty battle tomorrow If he
turns back the Yankees, the 8-tO 5
odds in favor of the American
LeaguerS will take an abrupt dip
and it could turn out to be a rip
roaring World Series
Should the gamble fail and Black
