to be "a striking parallel" be-
tween Mr.. Sobeloff's action in
this case and another in which
Senator Johnston said the JUS
tice Department charged a New
York law firm with abusing rules
of integrity in IAN alleged con-
flict-of-interest case"
Senator Johnston said that in
dividual Senators have very
limited" facilities for making
investigations of such matters,
adding he thought that "in fair
ness to Mr.. Sobeloff and in fair
ness to our committee members"
a special subcommittee should
be named to make an inquiry.
He suggested that the SUBJ
committee be empowered to en-
ploy a certified public account
ant, attorneys and such other
personnel "as are necessary to-
study with detail this case and
its many ramifications and any
other matters that may arise
concerning his nomination"

composed Of Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat Of Arkansas as chair
man and Senators Kefauver,
Democrat of Tennessee. and
Welker, Republican of Idaho,
was appointed by Senator Kill
gore to consider Mr.. Sobeloff's
nomination.
Senator Kilgore. asked about
the nomination before Senator
Johnston's letter was made pub

ASK YOURSELF SOME QUESTIONS
Overombition Kills Pleasure
OfOwning Beautiful Gorden
BY ALBERT S. PULLING
Associated Press Feature Writer

Spring is the time to ask your
self a few pertinent questions:
Do you feel put upon if your
wife reminds you that the
garden needs wedding when you
are checking over your collec-
ton of bass plugs?
Do you feel your wife is trying
to make a bum out of you in
front of all the neighbors when
she haulS out the lawn mower
and starts pushing it just when
you've comfortably settled in the
hammock?
Do you enjoy a Sunday after
noon Snooze and think you are
entitled to one after working all
week and resent anybody who
suggests you ought to spray the
roses before the bugs eat them?
A Eyes" answer to these ques-
tions will let you know you are a
normal guy and you'd better
limit yourself to a normal-sized
garden.

to make concrete, and the best
way to get it to where you are
mixing is in a barrow.
Then you get on the business
end of a hoe and start mixing
the dry stone, sand and cement.
Then in goes the water, and you
start mixing again. And the
more YOU mix. the heavier the
stuff gets.
After half an hour with the
hoe and shovel, if you haven't
poured in too much water, you
can start shoveling out the con-
crete into your form.
And chances are you haven't
mixed up enough, and you have
to hurry up with the wheelbar-
row and the mixing hoe so your
first batch won't begin to set
until you have the whole cover
poured.
When the job is done, you can
go back to the house and sit
on the porch in the shade-that
is, If you can walk that far.
