With her famous defense Of
her husband against the Pre-

and killed the legend that he
personally could do no wrong.

weapons available to every
loyal wife: Her honest tongue
and aller sense of justice.
The public promptly cast it
self in the image of the VIII

and Charlie a lucky fellow. The
President became a boss who
didn't treat the help right.

Secretorys Influence Believed Waning,

The question about whether
Secretary of Treasury George
Humphrey intends to resign.
and If so how soon. has bobbed
UP again as it has so often in
recent weeks during contro-
versy over the S71.8 billion Eli
senhower budget.
1t always excites great in
terest. The reason for that Is
the symbol that the Cleveland
industrialist has become in the
Eisenhower administration.
He is looked upon by con-
servative interests as their rep
resentative and champion in
the administration. and that
includes business and financial
interests as we'll as the con-
servative wing Of the Repub-
Lean Party. which is concen-
trated most heavily in the
Middle West whence he comes.
His withdrawal from the
Eisenhower Cabinet would be
a blow to the conservatives
who would feel out OF the pic
ture. AS long as George Hum
phrey is In the inner councils
and has the ear of the Presi-
dent they feel they have a
staunch spokesman for them
and an antidote to the mod
ern Republicans" who are re-
garded by many conservatives
as being little better than
! New Dealers
Consequently. every rumor
that the Secretary might get
out soon sends nervous tremors
through the conservative fra
ternity. Because conservatives
have so much influence in
Congress and in our economy

stantly been counteracted by
the inner group at the White
House. headed up by Sherman
Adams. Assistant TO the Pres
ident. especially in recent
months. There has been a tug
of-war between George Hum
phrey, on one side. and the
White House group. on the
other, for control Of the Pres
ident.
We saw this blaze up in the
controversy about the budget.
That gained unusual dramatic
effect because Of the indecision
Of the President about his own
budget. This was the first
time that Washington. and
the Nation, had heard a Pres
ident publicly express doubts
about his own budget recon-
mendations.
1t Is important to recall the
sequence OF events. You will
remember how Secretary
Humphrey. in a news confer
ence to explain the budget,
expressed dissatisfaction be-
cause Of its size. Immediately
thereafter, at a White House
news conference, the President
also was shaky about his bud
get, thought 1t might be cut.
and said the cutting Job was
up to Congress. A few days
later the President got back on
the other side. that is. he came
out in favor OF his budget
again.
Since then he has generally
been on his own side, though
he did suggest how some $l.8
billion in authorization for
new spending could be elm
mated the other day in his
reply to the House resolution
asking him to specify where
the budget might be cut. He
stuck by the major programs,
however, including those in
the social welfare field.
SO the White House group
seems to have won out over
George Humphrey.
The former naturally have
their sights on political effects,

What variety to buy: One

March or APRIL.
Preparing soil: Mix soil and
coarse peat in equal parts. A
quarter of mix could be sand,
leaf mold or old COW manure.
Make hole twice as large as the
size OF the ball.
How to plant: Not deep, en-
tire top area of burlap slightly

Mulching technique: After
thorough watering. lay on mulch
3 to 4 inches deep and keep it
on (pine needles. oak leaves,
sawdust. peat moss II kept moist,
or buckwheat hulls).
Watering: One soaking a week
adequate in hot dry weather. At
other times. water only Then

may cause root rot.
When to plant: March or early
April are ideal months. May
is a good time. and early
fall is also good. Balled and bur-

Plant Food to Feed Plants
Fights Soils Depletion

For centuries before the COM
ing of Europeans, the soil of the
United States was fertilized
naturally. the National Geo.
graphic Society says. Decaying
vegetable matter. lying where it
fell, built up inch after inch Of
fertile topsoil.
But as settlers moved across
the land. they often farmed it
to the point where it could sup
port no further crops. The
modern farmer knows he must
conserve his soil. With regular
fertilizing. some land has pro-
duced crops steadily for 300
years.
Factors other than crops can
reduce soil fertility. Water can
leach away nutrients, depositing
them In the sea. Potash. a vital
plant food. is now produced from
dried beds of ancient oceans,
completing the cycle.
To fight soil depletion, farmers
and gardeners in the United
States last year applied more
than % million tons of CONNER
cial fertilizer-chiey embody-
ing three basic elements. nitro
gen. phosphorus and potash. In
addition. calcium. magnesium,
sulfur. iron. manganese. zinc,
copper and molybdenum are
needed. and recent experiments
indicate that sodium. chlorine,
vanadium and cobalt may be
necessary.

For plants grow by putting
together blocks Of foodstuff from

can be used UP. leaving the soil
