Reforesting Idle
Lands Continuing

The Department of Forests and
Parks will continue its plans to re
forest idle lands this spring when
seedlings are delivered to land
owners throughout the county.
K. Thomas Thaycr, assistant dis
trict forester said the planting pro
gram destined to get underway in
March will include the setting of
approximately 100000 seedlings on
private and state-owncd lands.
Species will include red pine,
white pine, scotch pine and spruce.
To date around It's private land
owners have signed orders to re-
ccivc trees. One of the largest
orders was signed by the Western
Maryland railway which will have
planted 10000 trees by machine
ON its lands in the Kempton sec
ton. The Mayor and Council of
Oakland will continue its rcforcst-
alton program on the town water
shed, with the setting of $4,000 ad-
ditional seedlings.
Last year over 300 landowners
participated in the program. As in
past years Thaycr said tree plant
ing machines would be available
for landowners with larger tracts
to plant. The state rate is $40 per
acre with Il minimum Of five acres
or $50 pen, day. all labor and ma
tcrialS included. In addition, for
those persons owning tractors who
wish TO do their own planting, the
planting machine alone will be
available at the rate Of so cents
per thousand trees.
Thaycr also stated that a check
of the million trees planted in the
county last year shows a high sur
vival in spite of the drought. Trees
Of the pine species lived in excess
of so percent, while the spruce
which requires more moisture, was
somewhat lower. He said the con-
tinuing dry weather has prompted
many landowners to plan on plant
ing the areas around their springs
to protect the water supply.
Seedlings arc still available for
planting this spring and Rundown

The Girl Scout International
party was seasoned with tclevision
and it doesn't seem to be hindcrng
originality.
For instance when Janet jackson
put on her commercial about
Handy-Dandy dog food she brought
out her big Blackie to demonstrates

the dogs refusal to cat it, after

Mcleod 10 Campaign
For 6. 0. P.-LegaIIy
BY the Associated Press

Scott Mcleod, the State De-
partment's chief of security, has
embarked on the political wars,
fortified by legal opinion that
it is lawful for him to do so
under the Hatch Act.
Aides of Mr.. Mcleod. who is
q former administrative assistant
to Senator Bridges, Republican
of New Hampshire, said today
that recently he received a letter
from the Republican National
Committee asking if he would
make political speeches, designed
to elect a Republican Congress
in November.
Mr.. Mcleod checked with the
State Department legal adviser,
Herman Phleger. He was in
formed that while the Hatch
Act bans political activity by
civil service workers in general,
it does not apply to him because
he is a presidential appointee
and holds post equivalent to
assistant secretary.
Mr.. Mcleod also got clear
ance from the Civil Service Com
mission, his Office said. So he
is planning to make a number
of speeches including several
next week in South Dakota.

The House Committee on I'm

deleted the name of the Con-

subverSive organizations and in
vited other cited groups to clear
themselves as the testing Or

But the committee did not say
how Consumers Union did it.
The committee originally cited
Consumers Union. which pub
fishes reports on products for the
guidance of buyers, in 1914. It
said the organization then took
steps "too clarity the situation"
After hearings and thorough
study" the committee said in its
annual report, "the committee
finds that there is no present
justification for continuing this
organization as one that is cited,
and future reports and publica-
tions will reflect that this or
ganization has been deleted from
the list of subversive organiza-
tions and publications"

"A nation that does no walk

VATICAN CITY. Feb. 6.-Pope
Plus XII was able to maintain
today a flicker of renewed

ious night, but doctors kept up
a constant bedside vigil over the
stricken 77-year-old Pontiff.

general weakness persisted. Later
the Vatican press Office an
nounced the slight improvement
continued during the day.
These words kindled hope
among millions of Roman Cath
olics who offered up prayers in
many parts of the world for
their ailing spiritual leader.
Confers With Aide.
From his simple wooden bed
in his Apostolic Palace apart
ment the pale and gaunt Pontiff
painfully gave instructions and
conferred for an hour with his
faithful pro-secretary of state,
MSgr. Giovanni BatiSta Montini.
The Pope has been confined to
his bed for Is days with a stub
born and not fully explained in
ternal ailment. 1t attacked him
at a time when he was weary
and worn from prolonged over
work.
Unable to hold down his usual
meager diet, his condition has
grown dangerously feeble. In
travenous feeding has become
necessary. The Pope's inability
to keep down fluids has made it
impossible to conduct further
X-ray examinations of his con-
dition, described at first as a
persistent gastric ailment.
A source close to the Pope said
the next five days were believed
important in the outcome of his
illness.
Spent Fair" Night.
There had been particular
worry as to how the Pope would
get through last night. DR..
Galeazzi Lisi said this morning
it had been a moderately fair"
night.
DR.. Paul Niehans, a Swiss Spe-
cialist called in for consultation,
apparently spent the entire night
at the Pope's apartment. DR..
Niehans is noted for his opera
lions on the prostate gland and
research on glandular disturb
.ances in the aged.
Late in the day. the Pope's
| 73-year-old widowed sister, Elisa
BETA, visited him for nearly an
hour. Two nephews. Carlo and
Marc Antonio Pacelli, also spent
a short time with the Pope.

Second-Choice
Tax Boost LIST
To Have Doto Ready
If Works Program
Change Is Needed
BY George Beveridee

The District Commissioners
are working up an informal
Secord-choice list of tax boosts
IN the event Substitutions are
needed for the revenue proposals
they favor to help pay for the
city's $305 million public works
program.
Such list by no means would
constitute a one-package sub
stitute for the $4.5 million in
general fund tax increases the
city heads already have pro-
posed.
But they want to have such
data on hand for a closed-door
meeting at 2 pm. Tuesday with
a joint House Senate subcom-
mittee studying revenue sources
for the works program.
Last night on the Report to
the People" radio program over
Station WWDC Commissioner
Samuel Spencer said he per-
sonaly felt there was "a good
deal to be said" for removing
the SIPS sales tax exemption on
meals eaten in restaurants.
Makes One Exception.
He made the statement in an
sWer to questions. and added he
would rather not see the sales
tax extended to groceries.
Both these sales tax expansion
proposals have been suggested by
subcommittee members as pos
sible revenue sources. Applying
the present 2 per cent tax on
groceries would bring ST million
more a year and removing the
meal exemption would raise SIS
million.
Win one exception, however,
Mr.. Spencer generally defended
the Commissioners original pro-
posals AS those which would
cause "less hardship than other
suggestions.
The exception he noted is a
proposed boost in the tax on pre-
miums paid to insurance COM
panies, which has come in for
heavier criticism than any other
proposal made by the city heads.
Mr.. Spencer said the insurance
proposal must be considered fur
Their and that perhaps we can't
continue TO recommend it any
longer.
Probe Rejected.
Variations of the tax proposal
have engaged the interest of or
ganized citizens for several days,
but without decisive action.
Last night motion was in
troduced at the Federation of
Citizens Associations calling for
an investigation by economic
advisers to the President of the
fiscal relationship between the
District and Federal Govern
ments. 1t also would have placed
the Federation in opposition to
any new or increased taxes until
the investigation was complete.
The motion was tabled. 20 to
%, after members said it would
be contrary to the groups APP
proval of the public works pro-
gram at its January meeting.
For the last few days, District
officials have been reviewing
criticisms of the tax boosts
which they have proposed as be-
ing the least harmful" to the
city's economy. At the same
time. they have restudied all
other city taxes.

The tional Committee
adopted a resolution acclaiming
the record of the Eisenhower adj
ministration and pledging its
loyalty and devotion to the pr,n-
ciples for which it stands. The
committee asserted in its resolu-
ton that honor. dignity and in
tegrity in the administration of
the peoples affairs have bnen re-
stored and the American people
once more have confidence il
their government"
The resolution specified:
"A new defense policy of mas.
sive retaliation against agrees
sion at places and by means Of
the Nations own choosing is now
in operation"
1t said, too, that new high
security standards for Govern
ment employees have been set:
that an inherited staggering
deficit" has been courageously
attacked. and that Federal
spending has been reduced by
billions of dollars.

On the subject of Federal pa
tronage-which has agitated Re-

assured them. however. that CO.
operation was the watchword at
the White House. 1T is a phil
osophy we are practicing under
one of the great leaders of all
time-President Eisenhower.
Picture Now Different.
Mr.. Adams said he had at
tended all the Cabinet meetings
since Mr.. Eisenhower became
President. II have seen how the
President and the members of
the Cabinet work together. 1t is
very different picture from that
we have been given recently by
a member of another Presidents
Cabinet che apparently referred
to the diary of the late Harold
IckeS. Secretary of the Interior
under President Roosevelt and
Truman). Here we have mutual
self-respect."
Mr.. Adams said there had
been criticism of the President
because sometimes he takes a
little time Off" The fact is, Mr..
Adams said. the President is a
prodigious worker. starting at an
early breakfast and ending when
he goes to bed at 1870 pm. or
midnight.
What gives the President the
lift to 60 through with such a

were ready to write off any pos
slbllity Of compromise or agree
ment on the big thing that
brought them to Berlin-reuni-
f1cation of Germany. AS French
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault
put it at the close of today'S
session:
I'VE must recognize that our
efforts at Cancellation have been
made in vain. There has been
no response from the Soviet
delegation
Dulles Sums Up.
In the spirit of a man writing
an epitaph. Secretary of State
Dulles summed up the positions
of West and East on the main
point of discussion. The allies
had submitted a detailed plan
calling for free, supervised cleo
tons as the first step toward
German Identification. The Rus
slams had countered with their
own terms: Proposals which
could end only in extension of
the Soviet system of "democra-
cy" throughout Germany and
bar the new state for all time
from associating itself with the
collective security effort of the
West.
AS a final gesture, Mr.. Dulles
pleaded with Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov to withdraw
these terms, or at least reshape
them to conform to the general
outlines of the Western plan.
Even Mr.. Molotov seemed to
agree with British Foreign Sec
rotary Anthony Eden that
there is little more to say on
either side. without repetition,
on the subject of German reuni-
fication." Said the Soviet Min
lister:
"A peace treaty seems post
poned for an indefinite period"
Old Proposal Revived.
His reply to the last-ditch
Western appeals was to revive a
proposal made originally by the
Soviet government last August
that reparations payments by
the Germans should be ended
and that the German taxpayers
contribution to allied occupation
costs should be drastically
slashed.
In its final attempt to work
out a compromise, the West had
offered three concessions to the
Russians. These were:
l. A proposal to scrap Big
Four supervision of alderman
elections and substitute three
man advisory commissions COM
posed of an East German, a
West German and a neutral UNI

2. An offer to abide by the
