Prefers Shovel to Office

Dwight D. Eisenhower. a gen.
tleman farmer who owns acreage
near Gettysburg, Pa, turned tree
planter briefly today on the
grounds Of his temporary Wash
ington residence at 1000 Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV.
The occasion for the tree
planting arose when Gov. Will
liam G. Stratton of Illinois sent
an American black walnut tree
from New Salem State Park in
Illinois to replace an old elm
which had succumbed to storms,
lightning and senility several
years ago.
The 6-foot 4-inch tree-the
same height as Abe Lincoln, in
whose honor New Salem Stat
Park was established-stood III
hole a few yards southwest of
the Presidents office. It's roots
were carefully packed in burlap.
Nearby lay a pile of soil.

Through the warm spring sun

was handed a brand-new shovel,
and remarked:
Let's get busy and do this
right"
After he had thrown two
shovel loads into the hole, he
turned to Secretary Benson and
said. How much Of this do !
have to do?"
Reassured by Secretary Ben
son that the job would be
finished for him. the President
decided to pour on a few more
skpvelfulS. He grinned and said,
Say. this is more fun than what
I've been doing in the Office"
Asks About Dirt
Then Farmer Eisenhower asked
Where do you get dirt like
this?' He referred to the rich,
black, loamy soil in which the
tree was being planted. Mr.. Ben
son said it was brought in, but
didn't say from where.
The whole ceremony-if cere-
mony it was-took exactly two
minutes. Then the President re-
turned to his Office for an hours
work before leaving for his Get

Fairfax Refuses
.ToHaIt Building
Along Freeway

A proposal to restrict build
ing within IS feet Of the Cabin
John-Jones Point circumferen-
tial highway through Fairfax
County was turned down yes
terday by the Board Of County
Supervisors.
The setback had been rec
commended by the county PLAN
ming commission. It was sug-
gested on the grounds that land
along the highway might be
needed for future widening, for
future service roads and be.
cause it would add TO the APP
pearance Of the highway not
70 have buildings close to the
right-of-way.
T. w. Ross. district right-of-
way engineer for the Virginia
Highway Department, said the
proposed setback would cost
an additional So to IS million
for rights-of-way. He said a
restriction on building would
increase the damage TO land
adjoining the highway and the
owners would have to be paid
for this damage.
Several landowners also spoke
in opposition to the proposed
setback.
With Mrs. Anne wilkins dis
senting, the board voted to re-
ject the 85-foot limitation. The
road will be subject to the same
setback requirements as along
other roads in the county,
which is IS feet in residential
zones and so feet in CONNER
cial zones.
