Federal Court action in Omaha,
Nebr., where the National Asso-

Colored People is asking that
the leasing deal be temporarily

Resolution Adopted
The school board last night
said it would wait until $3.50
pm. (CST) today to make an
announcement about the leas-

But at a press conference
this morning, Board President
Wayne Upton read to reporters
a resolution adopted by the
board making the decision to
lease the schools. Then a few
minutes later he announced
the lease had been executed.

In the interval France has

Gen. de Gaulle's dramatic
victory was the worst electoral

suffered in postwar France.
The Communists formed the
largest bloc campaigning
against Gen. de Gaulle's con-

open the way to dictatorship.

President Chang Kai-shek said
today his Nationalist air force

He added he felt the United
States would back him If that
time came.
He said this moment would
come when the lives of the $780,

either from the effects of the
Communist artillery blockade

Under No Obligation
He emphasized Nationalist
China is under no obligations
to the United States that would
prevent it from taking action it
feels necessary for its own
defense.
Gen. Chang spoke at his
first open news conference since
February Z, 1855.
Alert and smiling, he also
made these points:
/. Nationalist China is fol-
lowing a policy Of restraint in
the face Of "heavy losses" by
Quemoy's civilians and soldiers.
2. It might agree to a United
Nations debate on the FormoSa
crisis under certain conditions.
8. The Red artillery blockade
has been rendered temporarily
ineffective by air drops and sea
supply efforts.
4. There will never be any
need for United States ground
troops to help defend Quemoy.

tillery assaults against the

IT'S YOUR LANDSCAPE
Taste in Foundation Planting
Is Largely a Matter Of Scale
BY GEORGE E. CREED
Special Writer for The Star


Suppose you awoke one morn
ing to find that during the
night your chimney had mys-
teriously increased in size so
that 1t stuck out 10 feet above
your roof top.
Even though it might work
better with the increased
height. you would lose little
time in having the chimney
cut down to its old size.
Why?
Because it wouldn't look
right.
It would be out Of scale with
your house.
Scale is the relative size Of
parts as compared with the
whole" One reason why so
many foundation paintings are
ugly or at least lacking in APP
peal is that they are out OF
scale with the house they are
supposed to embellish.
In sketch A it is obvious that
the plants are too small for
the size of the house. There is
nothing wrong with using small
plants; in fact, they are recon-
mended because they are more
economical and their chance OF
survival is greater than that Of
large ones.
In sketch B, another ex-
IRENE in scale is evident-the
plants are much too large for
the house. Instead of compile
mentirig the home and making
it look more attractive. the
planting hides it and prevents
light from entering the win
dows. When a planting grows
to this stage. it is time to take
it out and start all over. This
is both bothersome and expen-
sive.
