Macarthur Aide SAYS
Penfagon Is Retiring
ii
Generals Backers
BY the AssoSe,ed Press

NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Feb.
27.-The New Bedford Standard
Times quoted a former aide to
Gen. Macarthur as saying today
the Eisenhower administration
has not told the real story" of
the generals row with former
President Truman because. its
policies to meet Communist
aggression are similar to those
of the Truman administration.
Col. Laurence E. Bunker, a
member of Gen. MacArthur's
staff for nine years, said in an
interview at his home in WelleS-
ley that the administration is
avoiding the subject because
anti-MacArthur personnel con-
troll the Pentagon.
It is very conspicuous that
officers holding MacArthur's
views are being retired" Col.
Bunker said.
He said that Gen. James A.
Van Fleet went counter to the
Pentagon by saying the Korean
war was the right war at the
right time at the right place and
he was allowed to retire at co."
Col. Bunker said Gen. Mark
Clark repeated Gen. Mac
Arthur'S views there is no
substitute for victory" and che
went out at ST."
Gen. Macarthur was removed
as Far East commander in 1851
by President Truman.

Presumably on the theory they
have stuck out their necks far
enough by voting to increase
their pensions. House members
are going to let the Senate carry
the ball for a congressional pay
raise.
If the Senate doesn't act.
chances are there will be no pay
boost, despite the recommended
ton of special commission that
salaries be raised from $4,000
to $27,500 annually.
No Senate action is in pros
pect at this time.
An informal decision to have
the Senate act first on any pay
raise was disclosed by Chairman
Chauncey Reed of the House
Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Reed introduced q bill to
put into effect the commission
recommendation for higher SAL
aries for Congressman and Fed
eral judges. It was referred to his
committee.
But Mr.. Reed said the COM
mittee has an understanding It

The House took the initiative
in voting to liberalize the Con-
gresisonal pension program. The
Senate finished action on 1t yes
terday and sent the necessary
legislation to the White House
for President Eisenhower's sigma

Now House members figure It's
up to the Senate to make the
first move for a congressional
pay boost. They are reluctant
to vote for higher pay in this

less there is some certainty the
Senate will 60 along.
II the Senate does act, Mr..
Reed made plain there won't be
any difficulty about getting the

Even Peggy. who perhaps Is

first reply when the family was
asked how it was to be back.
Since tin cans are not as pre-
valiant in Europe, where they
took aboard the stores. most Of
their food was dried.

report to work at the Bureau Of

A year ago, Mr.. Solibakke took
leave of absence from his Navy

Life in the Country
Ounce Tree From Chino Has Fruit
So Lorge One Might Make Pie

We have been treated to q
supply of the largest ounces ]
have ever seen. So large. in
fact, that only one should make
a good pie. or perhaps q pint or
so Of ounce honey.
Mayo s. Stuntz of Vienna, Va,
came driving into The 40 Acres
the other day bringing a bag OF
ounces from a large tree in his
yard. Mr.. Stuntz wasn't sure,
but thought perhaps that his are
the only ounces Of the kind IN
the country.
Mr.. Stuntz' ounce tree is
about 80 years old now and about
the size Of a large apple tree. It
came from China. and was set
out by his father. Stephen Con-
rad Stuntz. who once worked
with David Fairchild in the Ag-
riculture Department.
Mr.. Stuntz says his ounces
make wonderful Jelly. preserves,
or even a pie. For pies. he said.
you prepare them like apples.
All I can say, is that If the
preserves taste as good as the
raw ounces smell, we really
will have something.

Among the peony flowered tu-

They are not well suited to

gracefully into the informal
border arrangements which are
in fashion now.
A group of late double tulips
placed at a focal point in the
garden will attract the attention
of garden visitors. They are

the same depth as Darwin tulips,

wins, have been introduced
since World War II.
They are called "peony flow

their flowers resemble peonies,
though never as large as real

Compared with the early flower

greenhouses or glassedsin porches
adequate to their needs, but for
every one there may be garden
in glass.
First let US consider the gar
den called q terrariuln. Use
any large glass container. A
large fish bowl or a tank ordi-
narily used as an aquarium will
be equally satisfactory. Either
kind should be covered at least
partially. by a sheet Of glass in
the daytime, but left open at
night.
In the bottom Of the container
put a layer of small rocks or
coarse gravel. Then add a layer
of sandy loan and peatmoss or
sandy loam and leafmold--half
Of each. Add bits Of charcoal
to keep the soil sweet.
Landscape in Miniature
If you wish all the plants to
show at one tirae it is possible
to establish q grade. Stones and
moss can be so arranged as to
create q miniature landscape
with trees, shrubs. a road. fences,
and even a lake. In a small
glass bowl you will certainly not
want to use so many ideas. A
very simple design with only one
focal point will almost surely be
more satisfactory.
Keep the. terrarium in a not
too-sunny place. Water very
sparingly. especially if a glass top
Is used. Use a fine spray or a
can with a long spout. Be careful
to keep the foliage dry.
Many plants are available for
l,use. If the terrarium is large,
Fuse ferns, crotons. peperomias,
dracaenaS and SaintpauliaS.
Other suggestions are small
palms, pellionias, begonias i'm
perialis. cryptanthus, small ivies.
marantas, saxifraga sarmentosa,
festuca glauca, and any other
plant that likes similar growing
conditions.
Wild Plonts Will Flourish
Some Of the most charming
gardens are made from the wild
plants which may be found in
our nearby woodlands. The
partridge berry, wintergreen,
pipsissewa, rattlesnake plantain,
l1epatica, ground pine. moss, the
lichens found growing on small
pieces of partially decayed wood
and tiny wild ferns may be chos-
en- according to what cam be
found and how many different
plants may be needed for a gar
den of the chosen size.
A bottle garden differs only in
two respects: "a The plant ma
terial must be small enough to
60 through the neck Of the bot
tie, and ca the planting must
be done with long wooden fol-
ceps and tamping sticks.
A desert type garden may be
made by using a sandy soil and
using cacti, small punches of
grass and some Western wild
flowers such as the California
poppy which you will grow from
seed.
Whatever kind Of material is
used, and in whatever sort of
container, the simpler the plant
ing and the more natural the
scene created. the more satisfac-
tory the garden will be.

early spring will repay you with
more and larger bloom.
Put only light materials in the
compost pile. The numerous
branches blown down by Hazel
will need to be burned.
The recent hurricane gave a
good indication of the trees best
suited to our area. The Siberian
or Chinese elm certainly showed
its weakness. Many branches
are broken and left hanging by
a few strands, as 1t were, and
numerous smaller branches cover
the ground.
II you have insecticides and
weed killers left over, be sure
that they are well labeled and
stored so that children cannot
reach them. Sometimes even
adults are careless.
