Planting the grounds OF the
new home is apt to be an excit-
ing adventure for the owner,
especially If it's his first home.
The choice of plant material
is of course most important, but
is too involved for presentation
here. This discussion will be
limited to where to plant and
a few suggestions as to special
problems.
The first step in planting the
new home should be the selec-
ton Of trees to frame the house.
The type of house-its height
especially-should be taken into
consideration when selecting the
trees. A low rambler will need
trees of low to moderate height
and preferably those with hori-
zontal branching. They should
be placed on either side of the
house so that when they gain
size they will not hide it. Mar
row lots may make this placing
difficult but it should be fol-
lowed as far as possible. Trees
placed Immediately in front of
the house do not make much
difference in the appearance
while they are small but as they
gain in size they will completely
hide the home rather than give
it an attractive frame.
Doorway Is FoeoI Point
The doorway is the focal point
and the planting on either side
should be selected accordingly.
A grade entrance obviously needs
a smaller-growing shrub than
would a doorway reached by
several steps. The doorway
planting also should, be smaller
growing than that at the corners
of the house which are supposed
to soften the outline of the
building.
Keep Walk Paintings Small
The sidewalk leading up to the
house is usually marked by two
shrubs which should be small
ones so that they will never
screen the approaches from eth
er the house or the street. Some
consider it good taste to use
shrubs for this purpose that are
also used in the foundation
planting. This is to show that
the entire planting is related.
However, the important thing
is to keep them small and not
obvious.
Foundation Plontines
The planting in front of the
house between the entrance and
the corner should be composed
Of low-growing shrubs. In this
area we are inclined to use the
evergreens for their year-round
value. There are many dwarf
forms of the popular evergreens
that are suitable for this pur-
pose, but remember that they
should be dwarf enough not to
hide the windows. Those with
horizontal type of growth are
best adapted to the rambler type
of building. The planting around
the foundation need not be
crowded. In fact if there Is con-
siderable space between them
they will give the appearance
of spaciousness that is usually
desirable.
In placing shrubs in the foun-
dation planting it is desirable
that they be set about 3 feet
away from the wall. This is es-

the lawn will appear spacious.
A good lawn is essential to the
attractive appearance Of the
home. It need not be of the
finest turf, but it should be kept
trimmed and neat if it is to pro-
vide the proper setting for the
new home. The less it is clut-
tered up with shrubs, trees and
knick-nacks, the. easier it will
be to NOW and trim.
Use the -bladed grasses

New Housing Bill
Passes Committee;
Faces Floor Fichf
By ]. A. OLE

The Senate Banlin& Commit
tee today approved the 1854
housing bill extending with
changes the Governments wide
variety OF mortgage insurance
program and with new safe.
guards to prevent q repetition
Of irregularities recently exposed.
Although the committee was
united in reporting the bill. Il
will split sharply on the Senate
floor next week over the issue Of
reviving the public housing pro-
gram.
Senator Maybank, Democrat,
Of South Carolina, has an
nounced that in view of the SUI
preme Court decision against
segregation in housing projects,
he will lead q fight to kill the
amendment he sponsored in
committee only 10 days ago to
keep the public housing program
going.
Maybank Could End IL.
; The House already has killed
public housing after this year, so
that if Senator Maybank wins
his fight In the Senate it will
end public housing.
Senator Douglas. Democrat, Of
Illinois, called the public hous-
ing amendment the most COM
mendable feature of the bill and
expressed hope that a coalition
Of Democrats and liberal Repub-
licans will keep it in the bill. The
decisive factor may be whether
all of the Southerners follow
Senator Maybank on the segre-
cation issue.
Chairman Capehart, Republi-
can, Of Indiana, said the Bank
ing Committee believes it has
closed all of the loopholes re-
vealed in the scandals which
came to light recently.
To Make Further Study.
But the committee voted unan-
imously today to proceed with
a more thorough investigation
of the Irregularities, and report
in January any further safe
guards that may seem advisable.
Senator Capehart said that
when, the investigation is re-
sumed in a few weeks the hous-
ing situation in Alaska will be
gone into first. This investiga-
ton was begun by Senator Nc
Carthy's Government Operations
Committee, which turned its

conference that he had received
number of queries last night
and this morning about Senator
McCarthy's remarks yesterday.
In a f1are-up with Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat. of Arkan-
sas. Senator Mccarthy had said:
$50 far as I'm concerned, I
would like to notify those 2 mill
lion employees that I feel it is
their duty to give us any infor-
nation which they have about
graft, corruption. communists,
treason and that there is no
loyalty to a superior officer which
can tower above and beyond
their loyalty to their country"
The statements by the Sena-
tor were generally interpreted
in the press as attempting to
go over the head Of the Presi-
dent to induce Government en-
ployes to ignore White House
directives by supplying him with
information on security matters.
Mr.. Hagerty said he thought
the newspaper stories accurately
reflected the significance Of
Senator McCarthy's remarks.
Talked With Eisenhower.
AS a result Of the queries to
him, Mr.. Hagerty said, he had
talked this morning with both
President Eisenhower and At
torney General Brownell about
the matter. He added that "at
the direction Of the Attorney
General I would like to issue the
following statement in his name
with the approval of the PreSi-
dent" Then he read the state
ment to reporters.
The statement. coupled with
Mr.. Hagerty's remarks tying it
directly to Senator McCarthy's
statements yesterday, constituted
the most direct public clash yet
between the White House and
Senator Mccarthy. -
In his own news conferences,
Gen. Eisenhower has carefully
refrained from using the Sen.
ator's name in statements of
principle that made clear his
displeasure over some of Senator
McCarthy'S actions.
Doesn't Avoid Issue.
Mr.. Hagerty did not avoid the
personal issue this morning. He
said he could not elaborate on
the statement made in Mr..
Brownell'S name.
Asked to what the statement
referred specifically, Mr.. Hagerty
said he thought "you all know"
"But you should tell u.s." a
reporter said to Mr.. Hagerty.
MIR. Hagerty then pointed to
the part OF the transcript of
yesterdays hearing by the SEN
ate subcommittee investigating
the McCarthy-Army controversy
in which Senator Mccarthy
made his statement.
Above Secrecy Directive.
The following are Senator
McCarthy's remarks to which
today's White House statement
apparently referred:
