Time Is Right
For Planting,
Transplanting

If you would like to dress up
your yard with some trees or
shrubs, now is a good time to
plant or transplant them.
Carl n. Johnson, University of
Maryland Extension landscape spe-
ciaist, says evergreens or almost
any Of the trees and shrubs COM
mon in Maryland can be planted or
transplanted more successfully in
the fall than in the spring.
That's because the ground is
more moist and warm in the fall,
which enables the plant to estab-
fish itself quickly" he explains.
The landscape specialist says
planting and transplanting is
usually done late in September,
but can be carried right through
October and November if the
weather stays mild.
A lot of people seem to think
that transplanting is a job for spe-
cialists, but Johnson thinks any
homeowner can do it by observing
a few simple rules:
l. Avoid damage to the roots by
moving the plant with a large ball
of earth around the roots, and
handle carefully so the ball does
not break.
2. Dig a hole big enough to ac-
commodate the ball of earth with
out crowding. If soil in the new To-
cation is poor, good top soil should
be used to fill in around the ball
of earth.
3. Give the transplanted plant a
good, deep soaking.
4. Some of the root system is
lost in moving, so balance this loss
by pruning back the top growth a
little.
5. Add a mulch to keep moisture
in the ground around the roots. In
most Of the State, mulch should be
added after the ground freezes to
prevent alternate freezing and

Martin Urges CoImness
In Drafting Security Measures

walls should be constructed be-
tween the galleries and the
House floor. He declared, how
ever. that this proposal was
among the suggestions that
should be studied thoroughly
and cautiously because. if adopt
ed, they would have to remain
permanently.
A well trained, professional
Capitol Police force also was to
be among recommendations laic
before congressional leaders to-
day.
Capt. Broderick said the group
favorS a trained force at the
Capitol. He said Chief Murray
offered to provide such training
at the school operated by the
Metropolitan Police. That was
the practice. Capt. Broderick
recalled. when he previously
headed the Capitol force in 1948.
He said he would like to pick
out about 40 recruits, place them
under the three-month training
course and then put them on
duty as vacancies occur on the
Capitol force. Many young men
appointed to the Capitol Police
under the present patronage
system. are students, he said,
and leave the force after only
short periods of service.
The committee favors install
lation of glass walls in front of
the visitors galleries in House
and Senate chambers, Capt.
Broderick said. The idea would
be to install heavy material as
nearly bullet-proof as possible
so high that no one in the gall
leries could aim a pistol at men,
berS on the floor. Above that
would be wire screen to prevent
visitors from throwing objects
onto the floor.
Special Precinct Suggested.
Among the many other sug-
gestions advanced are Capitol
Hill Precinct" to be stated by
either career force of trained
men or by a combination of the
Capitol and Metropolitan police.
Abolition of the patronage
system, under which police on
the Hill are appointed by mem
bers of Congress, has been pro-
posed for years. and has been
mentioned since the tragedy in
the House. when five members
were wounded. But this pro-
posal so far. has been met with
hesitant comment on the part
of congressional leaders.
Chief Murray said the con-
ference in his office studied all
possible phases of the security
problem from the viewpoint of
both the Capitol and Metropoli-
tan Police forces. He refrained
from giving his personal views
in the matter.

Reaches Run Bridge

Representative Saylor, Repub-
lican. of Pennsylvania urged
Congress today to give full
consideration" to the proposed
Reaches Run bridge. Just down
river from existing Fourteenth
street bridges.
He has introduced a bill to
authorize the span. which Is
backed by park officials and the
National Capital Planning Com
mission. 1t is proposed as an
alternative to the proposed E
street bridge.
A House District subcommittee,
headed by Representative Kearns,
Republican, of Pennsylvania is
limiting a current series of bridge
hearings to E street and Jones
Point proposals. Mr.. Kearns has
said, however. hearings will be
held on the Reaches Run project
later.
Mr.. Saylor. in a statement
inserted in the Congressional
Record. said the main reason for
introducing his bill was to give
the planners. park officials and
the Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
ton a chance to propose the E
street bridge alternative. Major
opposition to the E street bridge
will involve the fact that it
would cross a portion of Roose-
welt Memorial Island.
II am informed" Mr.. Saylor
said, that the E street bridge
location proposed by the District
Commissioners does violence to
all we'll accepted concepts for the
protection and enhancement of
the western terminus of our

+ Papers returned by the grand
jury Yesterday named the self
described ringleader of the plot,
Mrs. Lolita Lebron. 34-year-old
divorce, and three male COM
panions on 10 counts each, FIVE
of assault with intent to kill and
five of assault with a deadly
weapon.
The male defendants are An
dres F. Cordero. 90: Rafael C.

Rodriguez. Is. all of New York.
All but Rodriguez, who was cap
tured at bus station some time
after the shooting, were said by
police to have confessed.
Maximum punishment on the
assault to kill counts would
total IS years for each defend
ant. The other counts would add
up to so years. However. it is
considered likely a jury will con-

charges.

Principal witness before the

cause of his confidence he saw
four persons firing from the WIS.,

caught in the general confusion
Mr.. Shafer said he recognized a
'zoot suit" the man wore.
In case one of the shooting
victims should die, the grand
jury could indict the defendants
anew within a period of q yeal
and a day for murder.
