Traces Life
In tracing the life Of the
Archbishop, Mr.. Coddington.
pointed out the great part he
played in this famous docu-
ment. even to the writing of
parts of it.
AT first King John was
violently against Stephen
Langton. mainly because he
had not been consulted by the
Vatican on his appointment
as Archbishop.
However, in 1918 the King
was having so much trouble
with the barons and the
Welsh that he decided to make
his peace with the church and
recognize the archbishop. The
latter until then had been liv-
ing in France since the King
forbade him to land in Eng
land.
1t was King Johns idea that
the archbishop would act as a
peace m aker between the
crown and the barons.
In this capacity, the arch
bishop phrased many of the
demands Of the barons when
he acted as the go-between
between the two factions. Sew

Annual flowers are one of the
few classes Of blooming plants
that can be started at this late
date and still produce results
during the season. While the
selection may now be somewhat
limited because of depleted
stocks, most Of the old favorites
are still available and in sizes
that promise early color.
Animals may be successfully
grown under conditions that
would discourage most other
towering plants. Their shallow
root systems do not demand the
deep, rich seed beds that are so
essential to perennial or rose
culture. Since the entire life
cycle takes place in a single
season, insect pests are not har-
bored over in their stems or
roots.
Relatively free from disease
and enjoying a long Towering
period, not many different kinds
are required for continuous color
IN the garden.
However. certain minimum
standards must be met If re-
suits are to justify even the
limited amount of effort ex-
pended. AS a class, ANIMALS are
sun-loving. While some will
grown in light shade, both bloom
and plant structure will de-
teriorate as a result. They need
good sub-drainage. To test
drainage, dig a hole about one
foot deep and one foot square
then fill it with water.
If the water has not soaked
away within eight hours you
must improve the drainage either
with tiles. layers of crushed
stone or gravel, or else by rails
ing the beds. Quick-growing
shallow-rooted ANIMALS are un-
able to compete with tree roots
for available plant food and
moisture. Extra feeding and
watering will not Offset this

condition: instead they will only
increase growth of the tree
roots.
Light Loan Best
Nearly any average garden
loan will grow ANIMALS al
though one on the lighter side
gives faster results. Five or six
inches of top soil, where the sub
soil has some degree Of fertility,
will promote satisfactory growth.
II yours is heavy or thin, spade
in either compost or a mixture
of peat moss and fertilizer.
II it is hard, when dry cover
the bed with about an inch of
sharp sand or finely crushed
stone before spading in the
organic material. Regardless of
soil conditions, a light feeding
of any balanced fertilizer every
month for the first part of the
season will encourage bloom and
healthy growth.
If you give ANIMALS a thorough
soaking once or twice a week
and If you meet the growing
conditions described above, it
will be impossible to prevent
their flowers from blooming in
a continuous mass until killed
by fall freezes.

.SuItonstuII Offers
Plan to Cut Debt
BY the Associated Press

Senator Saltonstall, Repub-
lican of Massachusetts,, has pro-
posed that Congress cut down
the national debt by ordering
yearly payments of specified
amounts.
The chairman of the Confer
ence of All Republican Senators
said If his bill were enacted il
would create a fiscal system
which will encourage a general
tax reduction" and go a lone
way toward controlling Federal
spending.
The measure he proposed
would require a debt payment
OF July l 1858. of 2 per cent
OF all the revenue the Govern
ment took in during the preced-
ing year.
This percentage of payment
would be stepped up one point
annually until debt payments
started averaging 5 per cent of
revenue. Al the same time. Con-
gress would order spending held
to IS per cent of total revenues
OF the previous year.
The bills provisions could be
suspended during time of war or
in a national economic crisis

Duff Is Reported
Firm onAbsence
BY the Associated Press

A source close to former Sena-
tor James H. Duff, counsel tc
lTeamsters President Dave Beck
said today Mr.. Duff still declines
to represent Beck in hearings OF
the Senate Rackets Committee.
This. the informant said, was
the gist of letter the Pennsyl-
vania Republican, now practic-
ing law here, sent the committee
yesterday in the midst Of its
stormy hearings on Beck. The
committee declined for the time
being to make the letter public
and Mr.. Duff's Office said the
former Senator would not do Sc
at this time.
Senators who had read the
letter confirmed privately to a
reporter the informant's descrip-
ton of the letter.
The source said the letter told
Chairman Mcclellan, Democrat
of Arkansas, that Mr.. Duff con-
sidered it would be "inappropri-
ate" and improper for him to
represent Beck before the COM
mittee. because the investigation
of Beck had started prior to Mr..
Duff's defeat last fall for re-
election.
Senator Mccarthy, Republic
can of Wisconsin, had let fly
some critical comment about Mr..
Duh's absence from the hear
ing room. Mr.. Duff has said
nothing for publication in reply
Senator Mundt. Republican of
South Dakota, also complained
about Beck having counsel in
absentia. particularly after
Beck testified that it was Mr..
Duff who advised him to invoke
the Fifth Amendment and re-
fuse to testify about alleged mis-
appropriation of 100000 of
union funds.

ex-senator was watching the

R.-Charges that Curtis r
Sims. secietary-treasurer of the
Bakery and Confectionery Work
ers Union, had discredited the
union by publicizing charges oil
misconduct against its president
were upheld yesterday by the
Executive Board.
Mr.. Sims Immediately pro-
tested that he had not been
given a fair trial and said the
decision would not affect his
determination Ito clean up the
unhappy mess in my union"
Mr.. Sims was suspended by
the board earlier this month
after making public charges
against James G. Cross, union
president, and George Stuart,
vice president. The board exon
Grated both Mr.. Cross and Mr..
Stuart.
The board said it would meet
again within three months to
decide what action will be taken
against Mr. Sims. In the mean
time. his suspension with full
pay OF $22.500 a year will con-
tinue in effect.
Mr.. Sims charged that Mr..
Cross had made personal use of
funds of the union, had been
paid unjustified expenses and
had maintained "close alliances"
with employers with whom the
union bargains.
The board said Mr.. Sims vio-
lated the union constitution by
revealing to the public press" his
charges Of gross misconduct and
moral turpitude against Mr..
Cross and Mr.. Stuart before they
had been received by the board.
These charges at present are
being investigated by the
Ethical Practices Committee of
the AFL-CIO.
