Talk Business
On Rights Bill,
Martin Says
Democrats Asked
To Take Action
On Compromise

AAouoC IbCpuUllCdu LedQer
Martin today challenged Demo-
cratic leaders to talk business"
about a compromise to get an
effective" civil rights bill
through Congress.
Mr.. Martin made it clear
after a conference with Presi-
dent Eisenhower, however, that
House Republicans are stand
ing firm in their fight against
the jury trial amendment writ
ten by the Senate into the civil
rights measure.
With the bill now tied up
in the House Rules Committee.
@. o. P. leaders foresaw the
night going on for probably an
other week or two at least to
keep Congress in session into
September.
knOwIand Comments
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland told reporters there
would have to be some salts
factory breaks. If Congress is
ready to adjourn by the end
of next week.
While asserting that Repub-
licans are willing to compro-
mise in the civil rights fight.
Mr.. Martin insisted any COM
promise would have to provide
an effective" civil rights bill.
The House G. o. p. leader
has joined the President in as
sailing the Senate amend
ment providing for jury trials
in contempt cases growing out
OF injunction proceedings to
enforce voting rights as largely
destroying effectiveness of the
measure to protect the right
to vote.
Asked how the jury trial con-
troversy could be compromised.
Mr.. Martin said he was not
going to speculate about that
now but would do so when the
other fellows are ready to do
business" He charged that so
far there had been no spirit of
compromise from what he
called the Southern led
Northern liberals" in referring
TO Democrats in the House.
Celler's Compromise
Representative Celler, Dem
ocrat of New York, has pro-
posed one compromise that
would limit the jury trial pro-
vision to voting rights contempt
cases. AS adopted by the Sem
ate. the provision would re-
quire jury trials in all con-
tempt cases in Federal courts
a move which the President has
said would hamper the entire
Federal judiciary.
Asked If the Celler proposal
could be the compromise he
was talking about, Mr.. Martin
said lit is dead as far as l am
concerned" because he did not
believe it would provide an eff
fective civil rights bill.
Chairman Smith Of the
House Rules Committee, who is
opposed to any civil rights bill
at all. has so far refused to call
a meeting Of his committee to
consider a rule necessary to
bring the measure to the House
floor.
Move TO Force Session
Four Northern Democratic
members Of the committee
signed a formal request yester-
day for a meeting-the first of
a series Of steps under parlia-
mentary procedure in trying to
force a meeting over the CHAIR
mans objection.
Mr.. Martin said today that
House Speaker Rayburn had
not approached him at all in an
effort to work out some ar
rangement for winning some
Republican votes in the Rules

House Rejects
Bill to Permit
Stadium
BULLETIN

The House today rejected,
134 to 234, a conference re-
port authorizing a stadium
on East Capitol street near
the National Guard Aa'mory.
The action apparently killed
the measure. Although it
could be sent back to con-
ference. Clerk William N.
Mcleod. jr., Of the House
District Committee. said
that ends it."
A conference report on a bill
authorizing the construction of
a stadium here ran into stiff
opposition and was tentatively
rejected by the House this
afternoon.
A standing vote rejected the
report by a count of SO to 80.
Representative Mcmillan, DEM
ocrat of South Carolina. chair
man Of the House conferees,
asked for a roll call. The clerk
began calling the names about
l pm. Representative Multer,
Democrat of New York, asked
that the conference report be
rejected. Senate approval Of
the report was voted last Fri
day. The House conferees had
receded from three amend
ments in the report.
Mr.. Mcmillan declared that
the authorization measure was
necessary so that the Housing
and Home Finance Agency
could grant or loan $3.50 to
the District Armory Board for
a survey to determine the
feasibility of a stadium.
The IS million project, with
a capacity of up to $4,000 spec

The National Capital Garden
Club League has added a new
section to their division Of the
National Capital Flower and
Garden Show, March z to Is,
In a greenhouse set up on
the show floor they viii have
competitive classes for forced
bulbs, cacti and succulents, To-
liage plants. sprays of shrubs
and evergreens, orchids, African
violets, begonias. and other flow
ering plants, camellia blooms,
sprays Of holly. and ported and
cut specimens of herbs.
Gardeners planning to enter
these classes should begin to
groom their plants so as to have
them at the right stage of de-
velopment for judging. All of
these plants must have been in
the possession Of the exhibitor
for at least three months. Mrs.

Snowfall Keeps
Soil Worm

A moderate snowfall doesn't
necessarily mean that the ground
is unavoidable. More often thar
not. snow actually becomes Z
white blanket protecting the
earth against severe cold
weather. and trees and shrubs
may be transplanted.
The worst freezes usually occur
when the ground Is bare. Besides
being a good inSulator, snow
also serves as a mulch. But wet
weighty snow has its drawbacks
too. Accommodating on tree limbs,
it often snaps the boughs with
its weight or leaves them
grotesquely misshapened.
Experts advise sweeping OF
Ievergreens with the kitchen
broom after each heavy snow
or even during the storm. This
precaution may save the trees
and shrubs from serious injury
or permanent Disagreement.
To find out If the ground still
Is soft enough for tree moving
work. simply give it the summer
time shovel treatment. II the
shovel scoop bounces of tl1s
ground like hitting a rock, better
wait for warmer weather. But II
the earth shoveIs out easily, in
stead of in chunks, that's q good
sign winter paralysis hasn't yet
set in.
Evergreens are usually trans
planted in late summer. early
fall. or in April or May, but as
long as the ground remains I'M
frozen. winters a fine time for
shifting the shrubbery or for
removing overgrown or un-
wanted greenery.

want them to grow. Do not
try to prepare the ground, but
rather scatter the seed and let
the frost carry it into the ground.
Unless there is danger Of mice or
birds getting to the seed it need
not be covered.
How to Avoid Fungus
1t is not too early to get sup
plies on hand for the starting

|clude q package Of pulverized
spaghnum moss. It makes seed
growing much more certain than
soil, since there is practically
no danger Of the damping-off
fungus destroying the seeding
plants. Six-inch pots are ideal
for seed sowing since they are,
easy to move about and will
hold all Of the seed necessary
for the average garden.
Forcing Some Gay Blooms

why not cut a few branches from
the forsythia and bring them
indoors for forcing? Put them in

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

Last weeks ice and snow dis.
courayed outside gardening &C.
tivity but the low temperature:
and the snow cover were idea
for the garden. The snow cover
was excellent mulch protection
for our plants, and the relatively
stable cold would not harm the
more tender plants since they
had had ample opportunity ia
Iripen or mature. as it is more
commonly called. However, there
were plenty Of indoor Jobs to
keep the gardener well occupied
Planning the 1857 garden, II it is
not already taken care Of, should
be finished soon so that we may
|get our orders for seeds, plants,
bulbs. fertilizer, and ether sup
plies into the mail.
Watering Indoor Plants
One problem for the care of
indoor plants at this season of
the year is to keep them well
watered without OVERRIDING it.
Too much moisture in the soil
may cause sickness, loss Of roots,
or even death. There are flower
ing plants that we like to have
for winter bloom, the camellia
fort example. many varieties of
which will start to flower but
the buds win never really open.
This is a common result Of over
watering. The difficulty is that
there is no real guide. other than
experience that can teach how
often and how much water each
plant needs.
Extra Plant Food
Now that the days are begin
ming to be appreciably longer
and the house plants are begin
ming to show signs of active
growth, we might well give then
an extra application Of plant
food. Liquid or pill does not make
much difference as either one
will give the desired impetus.
Some Seeds TO Sow

sow the seeds Of the hardy an

LIFE IN a
THE COUNT RY
Birds Learn Where Food Abounds
BY JAMES BlRcHFlELD

The birds have gotten used
to our white bird feeding station,
but it took a snow and zero
temperature to dispel their
|timidity.
Now they hover around from
dawn to nightfall. and If this
sort Of thing keeps up. I'm going
to have to grow grain to feed
them.
So far we have had a great
variety--ranging rom a red
bellied woodpecker, which re-
NAMED on the nearby tree, to
sparrows. junkos and bluejays.
At one time there were five pairs
of cardinals all enjoying the
feast while the smaller birds
fretted about on the ground.
Cardinals. for the most part,
seem to enjoy most those red
cedar trees loaded with blue
berries. And the starlings that
come into the country from
Washington by day seem also to
like the cedar berries.
The quail have not been near
the house this winter, and I
have had to take feed out into
the pine woods. Which reminds
mellow does a bird know II
there is feed at a certain place
where there has been no feed
before?
/ first noticed this with our
guineas. About two minutes
after q grain truck would pass
our house along the highway,
the guineas would be down peck
ing away along the roadside.
So far as I could see, they
never missed. and as q result.
our guinea flock got smaller
and smaller. Now we have none
left, and It is quiet indeed with
out their voices.
They were always on hand
to give the alarm when someone
entered the place, and they
didn't differentiate between
friend and stranger. Guineas are
insect and seed eaters, and un-
like chickens. they never scratch
up the flower beds and the
garden. Certainly, we are going
to have to get some more,

treated to make it safe; anC
there is comparatively little odol
remaining. The nitrogen in the
activated sludges is generally ir
a form that is more readily
available to plants-40 to sc
per cent.
Supplementing Is Necessary
Thus it would appear that the
sludges have value for use or
lawns and gardens, but because
of the low plant food content
especially of potash, supplement
tai fertilizing is necessary If we
are to obtain the desired growth
of our plants. On the other hand
they are slow acting and so the
benefits from an application are
likely to extend over several
months.
The relative cost Of these
sludges compared to commercial
plant foods can only be evalu-
Iated on the basis Of the cost per
pound Of nitrogen. That basis is
not too satisfactory because the
nitrogen from ammonium sui
|phate is available to the plants
within q comparatively short
time while only 8 per cent Of
|digested sludge and 40 per cent
OF activated sludge is in a form
that the plants can take UP
within a few weeks. However, !
pound Of nitrogen from activated
|sludge. based upon prices in the
Washington area (1954), is over
three times as high as when
bought in the form Of ammo
MUM sulphate. The relative cost
of the digested sludge cannot be
computed since the only cost is
for the hauling.
One other point, the digester
sludge available from the WASH
ington sewage plant is only
slightly acid (6.0 PHI. The ac-
tivated sludges are more acid.
the one commonly sold is rated
at SO PHI.
