Every one who decides on fence

Springtime work. next to cleaning

pansy bed or two, climbing roses. in

The rose vines. despite the groans

We stand in the shadow of a threat

High and unreasonable medical bills
are the commonest causes of ill will
between the public and the medical

been the custom publicly to assail sur
geonS for the worst instances of un-
reasonable fees. But it is my opinion
that others are no less culpable. The
physician who pays for new piece of
Office equipment by testing every pa
tient with the device. regardless OF
need for the test, is less obvious ex-
ample. People who derive income from
allied professions also may be tempted
to get their bite out of the public.

Back to Boston

Neither the comments Of Samuel P. Sears
nor those from the members Of the Senate
Investigations Subcommittee reveal the precise
reasons for Mr.. Sears decision to return to
Boston.
Mr. Sears spoke of having referred favorably
in the past to the work" Senator Mccarthy
has been doing. Perhaps there is distinction
between this and his earlier statement that he
had never taken a stand, either publicly or
privately, on Senator Mccarthy or McCarthyism.
If this was the intent, however, the distinction
is an exceedingly fine one-so fine, in fact, that
Mr.. Sears was wholly justified in stepping aside
so the public might have absolute confidence"
in the integrity Of the investigation OF the
dispute between Senator Mccarthy and the
Army.
Unfortunately, this again leaves the sub
committee without a counsel. And until
satisfactory counsel is chosen the committee
cannot proceed with this important investiga-
ton. But delay, and still more delay, is deadly.
1t should hardly be necessary to say that the
really serious issue which has been raised by
the McCarthy-Arnly clash is apt to be over
whelmed by boredom unless the committee
acts promptly to get its investigation under way.

Governor Stanley Of Virginia has signed
into law a bill which will halt the ruthless
destruction of dogwood trees by commercial
interests. The legislation was badly needed
to save the States official flower from the axes
and saws of timber firms seeking wood for OF
all things, spinning mill Shuttles
Wood of the dogwood tree, the General
Assembly was told by State Senator Harry F.
Byrd. jr.. is in great demand by manufacturers
of spinning machinery. Most of the shuttles
being made from Virginia dogwood are being
shipped abroad, it was stated. The Byrd BILL
actively supported by the Arlington County
delegation, makes it illegal to sell dogwood cut
from trees less than six inches in diameter at
the base.
Virginia has right to be proud of its dog
wood at this time of the year-and to save it
from systematic destruction by unSentimental
lumbermen.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-04-07

consideration is due to the following:
The building in question is estimated
to have floor area of about 2O0,O 900
square feet; working space for Gov
eminent employees is greatly needed
and the need might be increased if an
emergency should arise; pressure to
demollsh occupied but unSightly tenn
porary war buildings is being eXerted;
and while this movement has certainly
much to commend it, it would reduce
office space by many thousand square
feet; the cost of labor and material to
compensate for all these losses would
obviously be very great. All this makes
very poor reasoning for demolishing the
Patent Office Building, Government
owned, occupied, and in good condition.
Certainly it would be an anachronism
to apply the spirit of the Greek Revival
as a school of thought to express the
life of the goth century. But, on the
other hand, it is unfortunate that
parking automobiles should be confused
with the value of preserving historic
buildings.
AS to the question of values, the
preservation of the milestones of his
tory through the years points to no
nostalgia yearning for the past. Rather
does it raise the level of our sight and
give the upward lift to inspiration by
which to measure mans aims in the
long. long journey that ever remains
in the making.

Repairing the old fence sometimes
Is necessary spring job.
Let no one. positively no one. tell
you that yards should not have fences.
Fences and hedges have an ancient
lineage. Every race has resorted to
them, not so much to fence themselves
in, as to keep others out.
The fence says, as plainly as if it
carried big sign, Keep out"
That is what a fence means. 1t is
not piece of spite work, but an honest
and open effort to gain little peace
and quiet for growing things.
Even the best fence after 20 years
or SO tends to get baggy at the knees,
to sag in the middle, and to rot.
There is nothing to do then except
prop it up, mend it. fix it. Often it is
cheaper than a whole new fence. and
does not disturb vines so much.
To prop up vines, including climb
ing roses, is one of the main uses of
fencing of standard wood or wire. Iron
fences, as such, have gone out" but
in the ole days there were miles and
miles of them around front yards in
Washington.
The standard old-time back yard
fence in the National Capital was the
high board affair, dating to a time
when wood was more available, and
carpenters got lower wages.

Fixing the old fence, then, is best
done in the morning, so that the job
will be over by the time others arrive
on the scene.
There is a pleasure in getting such
work done. Do not be fooled by the
present Shibboleth, that one must do
it ones self. There are times and per-
sons that do not find it possible, or
expedient.
If you can find a good "fixer," often
he can do the job much better, and
the result will be satisfactory and pleas

The House has made a mistake in denying
funds to the State Department for the con-
tinuing compilation and publication Of Foreign
Relations of the United States" The cut,
covering fiscal 1855, is supposed to effect
savings of about 1927 900, but no economy
measure could seem more penny wise and

This is so because the Foreign Relations"
volumeS-which have been issued on con-
tinuouS annual basis ever since Secretary OF
State Seward began the series in 1861-are
indispensable to all branches of the Govern
ment, including Congress- They are indis-

to report on and interpret the course Of our
international policy both to the American
people and to the world at large.

away with long periods Of laborious and expen-
sive research that would otherwise be required
to find answers to pressing questions of policy.
Yet if the House cut is allowed to stand,
work on II Foreign Relations volumes leach
about 1000 pages will have to be suspended.
That is to say, there will be forced Interrupt
tion-a hiatus, blank space kind of black
out-in the recording of one of the most
important aspects of our national history. And
what makes the thing seem particularly absurd
is the fact that last year the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee urged that the compilation
and publication be speeded up to give the public
more data on the origins and diplomacy of the
Second World War.
Actually, 1t is hardly more sensible to pro-
pose a suspension of these volumes than to
propose that the Congressional Record"
(whose cost far exceeds $227,000 year, should
cease publication. The penny -pinching House
cut, in short. would not save money so much
as it would play hob with an essential historical
project. The Senate should correct the error.
