Plant Carefully

Transplanting Of material
and this applies to seeding to-
matoes as well as to young oak
trees-is not so much a matter
of luck as It is a matter Of TAX
ing pains. Plants. to flourish
and even to survive, need soil
in which to put out their roots,
air, water and food. Heavy clay
soil withholds some Of these,
and very light sand cannot hold
some Of the others. The gar
dener must remedy and i'm
prove soil conditions-and this
involves. among other things,
digging. one activity which has
not at this reading been re.

Quiet Mrs. de GouI|e
Puts Home Life First

PARIS, May 81 (P).-The viii
layers of Colombey-les-Deux-
EgliSes know her simply as
Aunt Yvonne.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle met
her when he was a young cav
airy officer in World War I and
married her a year after thu
armiStice.
Placid and self -effacing, Mrs.
de Gaulle is the daughter of a
biscuit manufacturer who
emigrated from Canada and
settled in Calais. Her date of
birth was not known to readily
available sources.
The central interest of her
life is to insure that her hus-
bands routine runs like clock
work in their Colombey man
sion. She is helped by two
faithful woman servants in
running the generals home.
Spurns Political Talk
A perfect hostess, Mrs. de
Gaulle chats politely with visi-
tors over the teacups but never
joins in when the conversation
turns to politics.
Seldom does Yvonne leave
her husbands side. Villagers
see them together on the long,
frequent rambles which Gen. de
Gaulle loves to take in the
Colombey woods.
She has accompanied Gen.
de Gaulle on most of the 150-
mile trips to Paris which he
has made nearly every week
for the past IA years and on
journeys across the country.
For shopping trips she chugs
off alone to the village in the
little auto Gen. de Gaulle gave
her.

they couldn't afford it under
Title I (of the National Housing
Act).
Some property owners have
even greater difficulty. They
may be poor credit risks or may
own property in a particularly
undesirable section Of the city
and consequently cannot obtain
financing for even the most
necessary REPAIRS" he said.
The special fund for the
poorest risks could be called
the Fight the Blight" fund,
he said. A similar plan has
been developed in Baltimore.
ID. C. Tax Load
In connection with making
more funds available to finace
new construction in urban re-
newal areas, Col. yelling said:
"Redevelopers in Southwest
Project Area B had difficulty
obtaining financing for their
initial construction and only
recently obtained funds through
the John Hancock Life InsuN-
ance Co. to get the project
under way"
Col. yelling pointed to re-
cent congressional approval of
the Six-year public works pro-
gram, an increase in the Fed
eral payment to $32 million and
authority to borrow SIS mil
lion against the Districts gen.
eral fund.
The congressional action can
be interpreted as agreement
that the present tax load on
District residents and District
business is as high as the city
can stand" he said.
ANY increase at this time
would accelerate the fight to
the suburbs of business inter-
ests and the Washington fami-
lies in the high and middlA-
income groups. AS a corrolarS
of such action, there would be
an accelerated increase in the
number of lower-income fami-
lies moving into the city"

dent of Northwestern Savings

DeGauIIe Test
Has Algerian
Aides on Alert

ALGlERS, May 81 49,
Leaders of the Algerian insurg-
ent movement watched tensely
the political developments in
Paris today.
The dissident movement here
was launched to bring Gen.
Charles de Gaulle back to pow
er. The general was on the
threshold of the premier's post,
but distruSt of the politicians
in Paris is deep in Algeria and
the insurgents kept rein on
their reactions. o
The official spokesman for
the Algerian Public Safety
Committee dismissed any pos
sibility that the National AS
sembly might not approve Gen.
de Gaulle when he goes before
1t in Paris tomorrow.
We are not envisaging such a
possibility. We have given Gen.
de Gaulle our vote of confld-
ence." he declared.
A Junta official said yester-
day the Army-backed insurgent
movement would act to insure
Gen. de Gaulle's elevation.
Destiny on Seine
"our destiny is being decided
on the banks of the Seine, not
here" the spokesman told re-
porters. I'VE must wait and
see."
He reiterated that the insur-
gents will bow before any de
Gaulle decision, but he bitterly
criticized Paris newspaper re-
ports of what Gen. de Gaulle's
political program for Algeria
will be.
The reports are that Gen. de
Gaulle will visit Algeria, Tunis
and Morocco in an attempt to
set up a sort of North African
federation to work with France
and bring an end to the ma
tionalist rebellion in Algeria.
now almost four years old.
Gen. de Gaulle has said
nothing so far to anybody on
his eventual policy" the spokes-
man insisted.
He added without elaboration
that Gen. de Gaulle has been
in contact with some elements
in insurgent Algeria.
SOustelle Advises
Jacques Soustelle, once close
to Gen. de Gaulle and a prime
mover in the de Gaulle- to-
power campaign here, is the
political adviser to the safety
committees and is a member of
the triumvirate set up to CO.
ordinate their activities.
The all-Algeria committee
today approved resolutions
adopted by the original Com
mittee OF May 13"-date of the
Algiers move against the Paris
government-aimed at getting
Roman Catholic Church sup
port and migrating Algerian
and European populations.
The rallying cries of the
French rightist insurgents are
Algeria is French" and I'VE
are all Frenchmen." Algerians
by the thousands have rallied
in demonstrations under the
tricolor. But most of the 8 mil
lion Algerians are Indifferent,
silent an dexpresisonless when
the French Gaullists sing their
anthems and shout "de Gaulle
to power" The seeds of ma
tionaliSt rebellion have been
planted deep.
Mass demonstrations con-
tinued here today.
COMMITTEES May Linger
Despite the silence of the
spokesman on what the in
surgents plan, the safety COM
mitteeS may not die easily.

street en- the west. Benning
road on the east, Florida ave-
nue. on the North and Massa-

he said.
Presumably, District code
enforcement Ulcers would
furnish names of property
owners reporting difficulty or
inability to finance improve
ments to comply with the code.
Some Of these names would be
passed on to individual asso-
Citations for consideration and
action.
An undetermined number of
the most doubtful risks would
be financed by the pool with all
associations participating in
order to spread the risk, under
the program.
In his address, Col. yelling
said hundreds of property
owners who have to spend
money to meet code standards
are reporting difficulty in OBJ
tanning financing.
Many can only obtain short
term, high-rate Title l home
improvement loans which place
an unusually heavy monthly
premium on top of the normal
