On the Air
Godfrey-Lo Rosa Tempest
Blew Up Storm of Apathy
By Harry Macarthur

One question remains unan-
swered in the wake of the Arthur
Godfrey Julius La Rosa affair,
which swept through the radio
TV world like a hurricane late
for an appointment with its wife.
The excitement has died some
what and talk often turns to
other things now, but that un-
answered question remains.
What, broadcasters often ask
each other over their afternoon
yogurt, will this do to Godfrey'S
career?
What the squabble will do for
La Rosa's career already has be-
come fairly apparent. It has
turned him into one of those
figures described by Eric Seva-
reid as publicity saints" He
probably wouldn't even have to
sing to fill a theater, Godfrey
having inadvertently made him
a sudden celebrity. He's as much
a curiosity as sextuplets and that
can't damage his solvency.,
AS for Godfrey himself, the
speculation on his future has
run a considerable gamut. At
one extreme were the hysterical
ones, who foresaw that this
might mean the end of Godfrey.
possibly the end of CHS and that
broadcasting itself might have
difficulty surviving. Varied views
ranged from this all the way
down to the belief that the storm
would blow over, moving God
frey about as far as a spring
zephyr would move the Penta-
gon.
The evidence hints that the
latter speculation seems closer to
the truth. This may not be the
last word on the Godfrey-La
Rosa affair, but it will have to
do until laster one comes along.
The latest Schwerin Research
Corp. Bulletin indicates how
things are going.
A couple of years ago the
Schwerin people had occasion to
assay Godfrey's popularity. This
gave them a fair comparison
when they checked his popular
ity again by asking the same
question about a week after La

Rosa forgot to wear his cloak
of humility to the studio.
The answers were these: Like
him very much: Before. rs per
cent; after. 73 per cent. Don't
like him at all: Before, 8 per
cent; after, 8 per cent. Don't
care either way: Before, Is per
cent; after, 19 per cent.
So. out Of all that tempest
came nothing more than an in
crease of 3 per cent in indiffer-
ence to Arthur Godfrey.
SPECIAL EVENT-A definite
date has been set for Maurice
Evans second Shakespearean
production on television. He will
do king Richard II" on NBC-
TVS Hall of Fame" expanded
from one to two hours for the
occasion, on January "a at 4 pm.
This will be the first production
of the play, which probably won
Evans more praise on the stage
than his Hamlet"
One of Shakespeare's more
difficult dramas from a staging
standpoint. Richard hadn't
been done in this country for so
years when Evans brought it to
Broadway in 1887. His reward
was lavish praise and successful
tour following the New York run.
Said Brooks Atkinson in the
New York Times of Mr.. Evans
Richard: "Mr. Evans and his
colleagues have plucked the heart
out Of it In one of the most
thorough, Illuminating and vivid
productions of Shakespeare in
recent memory" Added William
Hawkins, in the New York

To bring his vivid POM
pous, rip-snorting Richard" to
television, Evans has retained
virtually intact the unit which
worked with him on Hamlet"
last April. Albert McCleery
will be the executive producer
and director and a number of
others in key posts will be back

Two New Roses Are Chosen
For 1854 AN-Americo Award

Two new roses, a f1oribunda
and a hybrid tea, have been Sc
lected for the All-America Rose
Award for 1854.
The new selections, chosen
after two years of rigid testing,
are Lilibet, a dawn-pink flori-
bunda named in honor of Queen
Elizabeth II, and Mojave, a
warm, apricot-orange hybrid tea.
The new roses represent more
than six years work by hybridiz-
ers, who discarded thousands Of
seedlings in their search for the
new varieties.
The new roses are the 38th and
39th varieties to be given the
All-America award. the highest
honor in the rose world. This is
the 18th year of the awards.
During the two-year test pc
riod preceding the award, the
two roses were checked for
hardness, disease resistance, fra

other characteristics.

What to Do This Week in the Garden

excellent for aphids, thrips, red
spider mites and scale insects.
perhaps others. Lindane is a
potent material for many kinds
of insects. Follow the manu-
facturers' directions.
Yellow leaves with prominent
veins on azalea plants can mean
an iron deficiency. but it can also
mean a lack of air at the roots.
The remedy to the first is spray
ing with iron sulphate. The
second is not so easy, unless the
soil can be opened with a tool
that does not injure too many
roots "a pitchfrok). Once opened
it should be kept from COM
pacting with a good mulch.
The spring so far has favored
the activities of the "flea beetle"
a tiny insect that chews holes
in the foliage of a number OF
garden plants. Tomatoes, egg
plant, petunias, ETC., to mention
a few. Rotenone is one OF the
recommended remedies.
If the use of a poisoned bait
is not desirable for the control
of slugs and snails, the plants
may be busted with chlordane.
During rainy weather the poison
bats are not too effective, es-
pecially where the metaldehyde
is not fortified with arsenate or
a ~f1uoride, but the chlordane
will do the job if they come in
contact with it. This is the i'm
portant difference-metaldehyde
attracts the slugs; chlordane
must be placed where they will
come into contact with it.
Maple leaves seem to be pretty
we'll peppered with small raised
"pimples." These are caused by a
gall aphid." When the aphids
that make this growth get inside,
or rather are covered by the gall
like growth, they cannot be
reached with an insecticide. Con-
troll measures begin before the
leaves appear in the spring-a
dormant spray containing nico-
tine sulphate. But, outside of
the appearance there is no great
harm done by this pest.
The rainy weather is produc-
ing considerable mildew on gar
den plants-a gray mold on the
leaves. Sulphur is the best fungi
eide available for it's control.
Use either a wettable sulphur
powder or a paste for spraying;
use the busting grade for use in
a duSter.

Radioactive Pests
Aid Control Study

Entomologists of the Agricul-
ture Department are planning
new uses of radioactive insects
and insecticides to study better
methods of insect control.
The scientists want to learn
how far and fast insects fly, how
insecticides go about their kill
ing job, and how some insects
particularly houseflies and
roaches) develop resistance to
insecticides.
Since insects themselves do a
lot of damage, and often carry
diseases to humans, plants and
animals, knowing how far they
may travel in a given time will
help entomologists in control
work.
Insects tagged" with one of
the radioisotopes can be de-
tected with counting mechan-
ism, even when out of sight-for
example, under the bark of a
tree.
A tagged" insecticide can be
traced into an insects small
body to see what physiological
changes take place when the
insect contacts the insecticide.
Similarly. the scientists hope to
use the same procedure to find
out what doesn't happen when
insects become resistant to GER
tain insecticides.
Radioisotopes are already be-
ing used by scientists to study
minute physiological changes
within the bodies of insects.

cook them-they are young, ten
der and delicious.
Stake the tomato plants to in
sure clean sound fruit, also to
avoid having the green toma-
toes eaten by the box turtles
that seem to infest suburban
gardens. Staked plants do not
yield as much per plant. but
since they may be planted much
closer together than those al
lowed to sprawl upon the ground,
the yield per square foot of space
is about the same with much
higher quality fruit obtained
the staked and pruned plants.
With almost incessant rains
the tomatoes are not likely to
"set" well. The only solution is
to spray with one of the chemi-
Gals sold for seedless fruiting. A
small quantity of this material
in a spray gun will insure fruit
setting on a considerable number
of plants with just a few min
uteS work.
Unless the grass can be cut
regularly the clippings are likely
to be too heavy to leave-they
will smother the grass. Rake
them off and allow to dry, the
clippings make a good mulch but
should not be spread around
plants until dried. A pile of wet,
green clippings are likely to heat,
but the dried clippings make an
excellent mulch.
Now that the strawberries are
beginning to ripen it is import
ant that the berries be kept out
of the dirt and away from too
much moisture. Unmulched
berries will be dirty, and if al
lowed to touch the wet soil may
rot. Any loose open material
will protect the berries from rot
and help to keep them clean.
The mild winter seems to have
favored the insect pests, judging
by the numbers showing up in
the gardens. If an all-purpose
mixture is not proving fully ef-
fective, try using one of the
potent new materials, such as
methoxychlor, Malathon, Lind
ane, etc. The methoxychlor is
not effective for controlling
aphids and thrips. ! Malathon is

Grading Damages
Established Trees

The damaging effect Of grad
ing fills around trees in new
home developments is showing
up this spring in some areas.
The trees were healthy. many
of them mature, when the
houses were built a few years
ago. Even last year they looked
nice. Many of them are deteri-
Grating with startling sudden-
ness, according to tree experts.
It's most noticeable on naples,
oaks, dogwoods, hickories and
blrches. Leaves are smaller than
normal, and not such a deep
green. Twig dieback is quite
evident. Larger branches are
dying. Numerous suckers ap-
pear on the trunk.
Prompt corrective action must
be taken before these trees coll
lapse. Normally the trunk of an
established tree should flange
out just before it enters the soil
line. Where excessive fill has
been used-even two or three
inches of fine loan or clay are
harmful-the trunk enters the
soil in a straight line, like a
planted telegraph pole.
Excessive fill disturbs the re-
lationship between the root sys-
tenn and the air and water in
the soil. The roots need oxygen
just as leaves do, and altering
the water table is equally as
deleterious.
If trees are being suffocated
by fill, dig crowbar holes two
inches in diameter around the
root area. Fill these with sand
and charcoal. The sand permits
needed aeration. Charcoal abb
serbs toxic methane gases that
have been built up by the fill
and unable to escape.
Then feed the trees literally
to, promote better root develop
ment.
Trees that suffer from excess
sive fill more than three years
usually cannot be restored to
health. Once they deteriorate.
the end comes quickly. Elms.
poplars and willows will, how
ever, make the adjustment bet
ter than naples and oaks.

: Washington Couple to Restore Annapolis Mansion
By W. H. Shippen

|
A Georgian home, built in
Annapolis more than 200 years
ago, has been acquired by a
Washington couple who also took
title to a ghost and skeleton in
the closet.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley S.
Wohl are less impressed with
stories of rafting bones and
mysterious midnight prowlers
than their son and daughter,
who are seniors in college.
Mr.. Wohl, a retired political
and historical writer Of Raleigh.
Charlotte and Greensboro. N. c..
and his wife have purchased the
Brice House at East and Prince
George streets from st. Johns
College.
At the same time, the Wohls
sold their home in Washington
at 3107 Cleveland avenue NV.
They plan to take possession of
the central part of the historic
mansion July !.
In Colonial days, the Brice
home was place OF entertain
ment for George Washington and
other prominent persons Of the
surrounding area. The parties
were staged in royal style prior
to the Revolution.
During modern times the man
sion was used first as an annex
for Carvel Hall Hotel and later
as an apartment building for
professors and instructors at
st. Johns.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wohl, whose
hobby in the Is years of their
married life has been the study
of historic American sites and
the collection of period furni-
ture. are looking forward to re-
storing Brice House to it's orig
inal state of simple dignity.
Mr.. Wohl pointed out that
about SO per cent of the old
home remains as it was de-
signed in 1740 by Architect Will
liam Buckland. The central part
was completed a few years later.
and the two wings were finished
in 1745.
The home was built by Thomas
Jennings of Annapolis as a wed.
ding present for his daughter
Juliana and her bridegroom, Col.
Jennings Brice.
Thomas Jennings, born in
England, was a cousin Of the first
Dutchess of Marlboro. He came
to the New World at the age of
10 and was appointed attorney
general of the Province of Mary
land about the year of 1773.
Old history books describe Col.
Brice as a gallant soldier" of
the French and Indian Wars
which preceded the Revolution.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wohl, who are
members Of the National Trust
for Preservation of Historic Sites,
have been told that the mansion
contains a secret stairway lead
ing from a large bedroom on the
third floor to the basement.
Another concealed passageway,
they said. led from the base
