fought over her. Every day
somebody borrowed her and
took her to a flower show, a

Mama confided to me that she

I had worried how she would
take the sights and sounds, the
alarums and excursions of New
York, but I needn't have. Yes,
the buildings were tall and the
streets were crowded, but Mama
had been told about those things
and when she found them as de-
scribed she accepted them in the
same matter-of-fact fashion
that she accepted life on the
farm.
In spite of the strict way she
had been brought up, nothing
seemed to shock her, either. On

Of a broadcasting system. I have
wondered about that a good
deal. Was it her seeming seren-
ity. her apparent forgetfulness
of self. her quiet friendliness and
concern for those with whom
she came in contact that made
her unforgetable?
With shame I recall that, after
/ came to New York, I worried
about what my city friends
would think of her. With the
first money I saved, I brought
her on for a visit, but I lay
awake most of the night before
her arrival in an agony of anx-
iety Might she be too bewildered
and miserable among skyscrapers
and skyScraper manners to en-
JOY herself? J knew her clothes
wouldn't be very nice, that she'd
never been in a great city in her
life and I remembered her
broken nails. her workworn
hands, her stopped shoulders.
Would my new city friends see
past all that and realize how
wonderful she really was?
I shouldn't have been afraid
about Mama. AS it turned out,
I was the bewildered one, not
she. First of all, I met the train
and Mama wasn't on it! The
redcaps hadn't seen her, nor the
Travellers Aid, nor the station
master. I sat right down in the
depot and cried. A sympathetic
bystander telephoned my apart
ment to see if a message had
come and reported that Mama
was there in person. I'd just
met the wrong train, and Mama,
who had never seen a taxicab in
her life, had taken her first one
to my apartment.
That was the startling begin
ming of an amazing experience.
Actually the more sophisticated
and city-bred my friends were.

The story of Virginia's new
dogwood law is a tribute to
the persistence of women.
About a year ago a company
was advertising for dogwood
trees in the Winchester area
and turning the fine-grained
wood into shuttlecocks for tex
tile looms. Today the company
is out of busineSs-closed I'M
der preSSure-and the State
has a new law curbing the
cutting of the lovely Towering
tree for commercial purposes.
All because Of women.
It was the garden clubs that
first called attention to the
wanton destruction of the dog
wood. They enlisted the aid
of other women's clubs.
State Senator Charles r.
Fenwick, transforming in pur-
suit of the governorship,
sensed the groundswell and
raised the dogwood to a politi-
cal issue early last summer.
State Senator Harry F.
Byrd, jr.. Of Winchester took
over the leadership in the
Legislature. A bill was drafted.
modified and rewritten under
the ever-present eyes of lady
lobbyists. Some farmers OBJ
jected to the earlier drafts.
After all, a man had a right
to clear his property even if
it did involve cutting dog
wood. But they were showed
under in the avalanche of
changes and amendments. The
bill passed and was signed in
to law by Gov. Stanley the
other day.
Under the law no dogwood
of less than six inches in
diameter at ground level may
be sold for commercial purpose.
A leader in the fight was
Mrs. William F. Zarlock of
Berryville, president Of the
Winchester Clarke County
Garden Club.
And Senator Byrd doesn't
care If he ever sees, another
dogwood.

Works Bill
There is good news on the
$305 million works bill for the
District.
The Senate Republican Pol
icy Committee has given it o
green light for consideration
before the end Of this month.
Should the Senate complete
action on the bill by the end
of the month. there probably
will be enough time to iron out
differences with the House and
make it law In advance Of
House consideration Of the
next city budget some time in
May.
This Is important because
the two measures-the works

A Hanging Question
The Senator offered no an
swer. except the answer inn
plicit in a hanging question.
The Wisconsin f1rebrand's
first explosive venture into the
field of thermometer politics
turned out to be a dud. Within
"a hours every one in a posi-
ton to do so took the oppor-
tunity to discredit any notion
that Cd there had been I'M
due delay or 90 that Com
munists had caused the time
lag between decision on and
defamation of the hydrogen
bomb.
At his news conference
Wednesday. President Eisen-
hover had not heard of any
such delay. Representative w.
Sterling Cole. New York Re-
publican who heads the Joint
Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy, said that there
had been discussion between
September 1949 and January
1850 concerning the need of de-
veloping the hydrogen bomb"
But, he added, "this fact is
not of itself sinister. nor does
it imply that those who OPP
posed the Presidents Harry
Truman's) final decision were
motivated by a desire to lessen
our military strength"
Mr.. Truman himSelf-who
gave the original go-ahead on
the H-bomb early in 1850
said, "The order was issued
as soon as the scientists were
ready to go to work. I got
an appropriation of 81 billion
to proceed with it,"
A rather harsh, but quite
succinct, explanation of the
Senator's state m ut came
from Representative Price of
Illinois, Democratic member
of the Atomic Energy Com
mittee. Said Mr.. Price: "He
doesn't know what he's talk
ing about"

Statehood

While the House puzzled last
week over what to do with the
Senate-passed Hawaii-Alaska
statehood bill (the House had
approved statehood for Hawaii
only another proposal was
thrown into the arena which
might cut the problem in half.
It also would cut Alaska in
half.
The situation was this:
President Eisenhower wanted
Hawaii to be a State, but had
said Alaska was not ready.
The House follow ed his recon-
mendations. The Senate, how
ever, added Alaska to the
statehood bill. Now the House
must decide whether to go
along with the Senate, get the
Senate to recede from its posi-
ton or quietly bury the whole
thing for another year.
But last week Alaska's Gov.
B. Frank Heintzleman, an Eli
senhower appolntee, suggested
that only the populous south
eastern half of Alaska be made
a State. The northwestern
half, he said, could wait.
All eyes Immediately focused
on the President. If he backed
that proposal, the House most
likely would go along.
In his press conference,
