Postwar Job
After the war Miss Woods
got a job with the Interna-
tional Training Administra-
ton. a non-proflt organiza-
ton which brought foreign
students to this country to
study technical subjects.
The organization had office
space in the quarters of the
School Of Advanced Studies,
which had been started by
Christian Herter. When Mr..
Herter, then a freshman
member Of Congress. was
made chairman Of q special
committee to investigate
Europe's need for postwar
economic aid, he found his
committee Office space in the
school too.
Miss Woods switched tenn
porarily to working for the
committee, and it was here
that she eventually met Mr..
Nixon, also q freshman House
member.
II remember being i'm
pressed by him, even before

he was. Our job was to handle

she says.
Then, even if he doesn't
dictate a complete text, the
speech rolls out neatly, still
carefully in order by topics"
She has all his speech dia-
grams carefully saved in the
files, she says, including the
notes for his famous 1852
address answering charges of
financial irregularities.
None of us knew what he
was going to say until he
went on the air" she said.

figures for him. but that was
all. He was working on his

minute he left the hotel to

Miss Woods went with the
Nixons to the Far East twice,
and on their recent African
trip this February. Her in
clusion on the latter journey
was a last-minute decision.
The originally-planned SIM
pie excursion to Ghana had
bloomed into a major expe-
dition, as more and more
African nations invited the
Vice President to visit them,
and Miss Woods co-ordinat-
ing talents were needed. She
didn't even have time to ex-
hume her summer clothes,
and had to hastily purchase
an entire wardrobe Of cruise
clothes.

Herter committee.

the committee who sent us
so much as a card" she said.
Impressed Nixon
Mr.. Nixon apparently was
impressed by Miss Woods,
too, because when he was
elected to the Senate in 1850
one Of his first acts was to
hire her for his expanded
staff.
She has had few calm
moments since. It seemed to
her that they barely had the
office machinery ticking
smoothly when the rapidly
rising Mr.. Nixon was tapped
for the COP vice presidential
nomination, in the summer of
1852.
She remained in Washing
ton during the convention,
and she spent the night Of
the nomination out at the
Nixons house in Spring VAL

The Office staff all refer to

the Senator" Miss Woods
says. But the vice president
was kind of long and awk-
ward. so we settled for the
boss"

Roses for Landscape Border
The use Of roses in the land
scape borders is almost endless
because Of the many good spe-
cies available. However, there
are some that might well be
avoided for one reason or an
other. Harrison's Yellow is a
lovely early spring bloomer but
1t spreads by underground sto-
Ions and is a problem to keep
within bounds. The Rugosa
species are similarly difficult, but
there are a number of rugosa
hybrids with long seasons of
bloom that are not spreaders.
A rose with a handicap Of a
name has been growing un-
tended in my border for many
years and is seldom without
bloom during the summer. It

ering shrubs which are patiently
awaiting another spring time
display. 1t is also true that the
hybrid teas in such a situation
are Of the untroubled by black
spot.
Polyanthas for Low Hedges
For the low hedges there is
nothing better than the poly
anthas, those hardy little bushes
with the season-long display Of
flowers in clusters. Some will
regularly grow to 3 feet, a few
to 4.
The floribundas have many
characteristics in common with
the polyanthas, but as a rule are
taller growing.
The range in color Of these
two groups is from white,
through pink. red and yellow to
the various shades within and
between. We have not had a too
satisfactory yellow but a new one
is being introduced. 1t is hoped
that it will be better than Goldi-
locks.
Interestingly. many of the

for the low foundation plant
ing.
Roses may be used in many
parts of the landscape planting
from the foundation to the
moderately tall background.
Rows of polyanthas or fiori-
bundas may be used as hedge
plants along the border or the
driveway. The husky Golden
Rose of China. Rosa hugonis, is
excellent in the shrub border
where its dainty foliage fits in
well with either evergreens or
deciduous shrubs. The rough
textured Rugosa roses as well as
their hybrids belong in the shrub
border where their stout thorns
will repell all invaders.
The tall-growing Rosa icae
(primula) is an excellent shrub
for the taller background; and
for brightly colored hips we
should not overlook the rugosas
and the English sweetbrier, Rosa
eglanteria, among others.
Sites for Hybrid Teas
The lovely hybrid teas are
more commonly left for the rose
garden than for landscape plant
ing largely because of the never
ending fight to control insects
and diseases. However. an oc-
casional hybrid tea might well
be planted in the shrub border
where its summer bloom will
give color to an otherwise sea-
sonally drab row of spring flow.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-12

subject to blackspot. The Father
Hugo rose, on the other hand
is untroubled by disease.
Roses for the landscape should
not require much spraying or
special attention. If they do,
they should be avoided because
sooner or later they will be
neglected and. If disease or in
sect ridden. they will be an eye
sore rather than an addition
to the landscape. Most roses
do benefit by mulch. but then
most shrubs need one for best
results. Certainly they are as
hardy as any shrubs that we
use. Even in the past winter
when so many shrubs suffered
winter injury. those mentioned
here came through with no DAM
age.
Keep Them in Full Sun

IScape remember that without
