BY B. Leroy GILBERT

There are several ways to bring
down to earth the house that is
perched high on a basement
wall. The method illustrated to-
day is neither novel nor uncom-
mon, but it is effective and econ
omcal. Too often, however. basic
principles Of good design are
ignored in construction and the
results are not equal to anticlpa-
ton.
One of the more common err
rors made in building raised
planting area is a tendency to
make it too narrow. If the fiat
space is not wide enough to form
good proportions with height of
the house or to allow adequate
paintings it will lack both horti-
cultural and architectural value.
The planting area Tor fiat space
should not be less than 3l2 feet
wide for even a one-story home
and for higher structures at least
six feet or more.
Ending the retaining wall in
exact alignment with the corner
of the house is another mistake
!. often made. Let it extend out at
least as far as the total width
of the bed and carry on around
the corner far enough to permit
some planting at the upper level
as illustrated. This breaks the
sharp basement wall corners and
reduces their apparent height.
The retaining walls should not

Head of Wards Denies
Deal With Teomsters

CARNATIONS. labor violence and
union picketing and boycotting
Most of the committees work
thus far has been concerned
with improper uses of union
funds.
May Affect Labor Act
The expanded program ap-
peared to be pointing toward
eventual specific recommends
tons for changes in the Taft
Hartley labor law.
The committees work, Sem
ator Mcclellan indicated, will
carry through most of the year.
Investigations are now under
way. it was said. in about 10
scattered sections of the coun-
try. These include the New
York area. Chicago. Washing
ton, D. c., California. Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina
and Tennessee.
Later today, the committee
will take another look into the
affairs of Beck and the Team
sterS Union and the Bakers
and Confectionery Workers
Union.
Nearby Homes Involved
Tomorrow, Senator McClel-
Ian said, the committee will
open a new round of hearings
involving the United Textile
Workers of America.
Senator Mcclellan said the
hearings would involve allega-
tons that Anthony Valente.
president, and Lloyd Klenert.
secretary, has misused the Tex
tile Unions funds in the pur-
chase of homes in Rock Greek
Hills in nearby Maryland. In
addition, the committee chair
man said there would be testi-
mony on the alleged use of
union funds by Mr.. Klenert in
the purchase of clothing and
furniture and for costly vaca-
lions in fashionable resort
areas"
In a statement for himself
and Mr.. Klenert. Mr.. Valente
told The Star some erroneous
statements" have been made
and that there is mo union
money" in the houses.
Trusts Against Houses
Mr.. Valente said the impress
sion was given that the houses
are paid for. Instead, he
added, there is a trust against
his house for $22,500, a little
more than half its value, and a
slightly larger one against the
other house.
In addition, Mr.. Valente said
they will show that all expendi-
lures of union funds have been
approved by the proper union
authorities.
1T is our belief" he added,
that this whole thing has been
inspired by union politics. He
said some of the top labor lead
ers have opposed him since a
jurisdiction fight in 1851.

eminent - the Constitution
Notwithstanding"
Senator Russell, Democrat
Georgia, leader of the Southern
opposition, told the Senate yes
terday he heard a rumor some
time ago that supporters of the
bill had traced the birthplaces
OF Southern judges. He said
he had heard it argued that it
is safe to deny jury trials un-
der the bill because a large
percentage of the Federal
judges in the South are South
ernerS.
The Georgian said he had
started to compile the birth
places of judges in the North,
but has abandoned the project
through fear that if it showed
they. too. were born in their
Judicial districts, it might be
used as an argument for abol-
iShing jury trials throughout
the country.

BY the Associated Press

Representatives Of three citi-
zens' organizations today OPP
posed any change in Senate
rules which would limit de-
bate.
The opposition came from
officials of the Citizens Con-
gressional Committee, the
United States Day Committee
and the Pennsylvania Branch
of For America before a special
Senate Rules Committee con-
sidering proposals for curbing
filibusters.
Bertrand L. Comparet, speak
ing for the citizens committee
contended the United States is
now undergoing a socialist rev.
olution through subversion of
the major political parties and
that part of this socialist revo-
luton is the class and race war
fare they are so desperately
tanning into flames"
w. L. Foster. chairman Of
the United States Day Com
mittee, said his group opposes
any further limitation on de-
bate because that would expe-
dite the passage of new laws.
The modern trend, Mr.. Foster
said. is toward the passage of
far too many. rather than
too few laws" and lit is but
reasonable and proper to place
upon advocates of new legisla-
ton the very heavy burden Of
showing both the need for
change and convincing evil
dence that the proposed new
way is better than the tried
and established old way"
Andrew Green of the For
America group said "propo-
nentS Of liberalization of SEN
ate rule % are not moved pri-
marily by any desire to improve
the procedure of the Senate,
but primarily by political con-
siderations and suspect that
this political consideration is
the desire to pass so-called
civil rights legislation"

Senator Knowland said passage
OF the Morse motion would de
feat any hope for a civil rights
bill this session"
Senator Morse has modified
his motion to require the COM
mNtee to report back in seven
days instead of two weeks.
There is a possibility this
motion also may be voted on
this evening, after the Know
land motion to take up the bill.
II the Senate acts as he pre-
dicted, Senator Knowland said
1t would mean encouraging
progress" on the civil rights
legislation although there still
may be a prolonged fight
against its final adoption. He
pointed out that adoption of
the motion to take up the
measure would mean that this
would be the first time a major
civil rights bill has been before
the Senate because such meas
ures in the past have been de-
ieated on motions to take UP.

right to do that.
He added that Mr.. Eisen-

ton on any legislation that
Congress should pass a bill
precisely as suggested by the
administration.
However. he said. the Presi-
dents general recommended

and he still is basically for all

the controversial Section 3. He
said the time for such discus
sion would be during debate
on the bill itself.
1t appeared likely today that
the moderates in both parties
who want a compromise bill
will offer a series of changes
rather than a one-package
substitute. The struggle will
reach a climax on these two
amendments:
/. The OMahoney proposal
to allow jury trials to persons
cited for contempt of civil
rights injunctions, If questions
Of fact are involved.
2. To limit the new injunc-
ton power to voting rights, by
striking out Part III. which
SouthernerS say would make
the injunction power available
to force the South to accept
racial indignation.
Byrd Raps Warren
Senator Byrd suggested that
President Eisenhower doesn't
know what is in this bill. But
he added:
Il strongly suspect that the
modern Thaddeus Stevens now
cloaked in the robes Of the
Chief Justice of the United
States has a thorough and
complete knowledge of what
could and would be done under
the bill"
The Senator recalled the re-
construction days, in which he
said Virginia suffered heavily
and contended that I'VE are on
the verge of return to Federal
political autocracy."
The Virginian charged that
the bill would interfere with
the constitutional reservation
to the States Of the fixing Of
voting qualifications. He added
that there is a clear indica-
ton that the Supreme Court
as presently constituted is GER

Bought 1880 Shares
According to evidence SUBJ
mitted to the committee the
union purchased about 1880
shares Of Ward stock at a
cost of Sill million. At the
time there were 6.5 million
shares outstanding. The unions
purchase, it was brought out
by Senator Ives, Republican OF
New York, was just "a drop
In the bucket"
Mr.. Barr, under other uues-
tioning. emphasized that the
unions stock purchase had no
influence whatsoever on the
labor negotiations. The con-
tract was signed three weeks
before the stockholders meet

agement retained control by
about three to one.
1t was the company's first
nationwide contract with the
union. The contract contained
maintenance of membership
clause which Mr.. Barr said was
q compromise on the Team
sters' demand for a union shop
which the company had re-
sisted Tor years. Mr.. Barr said
ne recommended this compro-
mise because of a threatened
strike which would have tied
up all Ward stores and ware
houses.
