Work or Pleasure?

Depending on the size Of
your project there are many
hours to be spent in your flower
garden. If this seems like a
burden to you, reduce the ex-
tent of the cultivated area. If
it still seems a chore then
maybe you shouldn't have a
garden at all, for gardens are
pleasure spots, and labor spent
there should be labor of love,
and nothing less.

A JOY OF GARDENING. BY
v. Sackville-W West. Harper)
This is a delightful book that
any real gardener will enjoy.
1t Is not all done I'D In tables
for quick reference but is the
sort of thing that one reads for
pleasure, primarily.
Although the authors expert
ence has been in English gar
dens she has selected those
plants which thrive in many
parts Of our own country. Ex-
cept for the Pacific Northwest
I doubt that many Of them will
do as well as they do in Miss
Sackville- Vests garden.
The book Is divided into the
four seasons. Under each sec
ton there are fascinating titles
such as-Very Small Gardens,
Water in the Making of a Gar
den. The Foam Of Wisteria, A
Ribbon Of a Path, and many
more.
If any gardener wishes to try
out these interesting sugges-
tions. he might we'll check with
Taylor's Encyclopedia of Gar
dening. Bailey's Manual Of Cul-
tivated Plants. and the Ameri-
can Rose Society's Modern
Roses.
Miss Sackville West closes
her book with the delightful
suggestion that we have an in
termediate season called fanci-
fully "wintpring." Her idea that
this short in-between season
should provide a garden "a cor
ner" in which a corner may be
stuffed with every sort of bulb
or CORN that blooms only for
that short-in-between season.
Winter aconite, narcissus mini
mus. Muscari aureus. Iris reti-
culata, Scilla biflora and the
many delightful species of
tulips.
Many Of us already grow
these lovely things. Perhaps
more of us would enjoy the ex-
perience.-W. H. Y.

From Asia came the lilscs-
Tibet their land of birth.
Memories sweet they stir in me.
Deep-rooted in the earth.
Lilac shrubs are warrants
Transplanted by strange hands.
Bringing one the fragrance
From far of Eastern lands.
Lilacs in the springtime
Beside nv cottage door.
A wealth of purple bells in chime
With caravans of yore.
Dropping in sweet fragrance
Around my rustic stairs,
The lilacs swing in cadence
With the lama's prayers.

new jobs. They have given a big
boost to the development of your

to use advance planning. That ! S
in line with the program of the
State Planning Board, and is
something we all must do, if we
are to reach our fullest possible
development in Montana.
IF we all join together, the job
can and will be done. Today we
are seeing an excellent example.
It is a great privilege for me to
officially dedicate this steam

"In view of all this, I'm certain

opment of our natural resources
under our free enterprise system.
This is definitely in keeping with
our American way of life, and it
is of great significance in keeping
our state and nation strong and
sound economically.
ut is a real pleasure for me to
be here with you today to help you
celebrate this occasion. l always
enjoy coming to Sidney, to Rich

tana. One of the reasons is that
you are a friendly people, and l
always enjoy seeing such people
as Glayde Yoder, who is doing an
excellent job serving as one of
my appointees on the Montana
Oil and Gas Commission. Another
outstanding public servant, who is
here today, is your State Senator,
Don Nutter, who has worked long

Vice President Seen Trying to Stem
An Anti-RepubIicon Trend There

With his customary energy
and foresight. Vice President
Nixon is hard at work in his
home State this week seeing
what can be done in the
apparently deteriorating Re-
publican situation there.
What moved him was not any
one spectacular piece of bad
news but the steady flow of
developments favorable to
Democrats.
Attorney General Pat
Brown is the overwhelming
favorite Of the professional
bookmakers to win the COVER
norship from Senate Leader
William F. Knowland. The
San Francisco News has in
dorsed Mr.. Brown, an unusual
honor for q Democrat. His
campaign chest is filling up.
Now the United Press has
come up with a poll showing
that the State legislators
think Governor Knight will
win the Republican nomina-
ton for the United States
Senate in the June 3 primary
but lose the election to Dem
ocratic Congressman Claire
Engle in November. There are
six more Republicans than
Democrats in the State Leg
islature.

The Soviet spokesman
pointed out that 1t would be
useless to take UP the ques-
ton Of the satellite countries,
since the USSR believes that
any such discussion would
mean interference with the
internal affairs Of these coun-
tries. Mr.. Dulles had always
insisted In the past that in
keeping with the platforms Of
the Republican Party the
administration must insist at
every opportunity that free
elections must be held in the
countries taken over by the
USSR after the war. Nobody
believes seriously that this
can be achieved. It could
constitute. however. Q use
full bargaining point at any
high level meetings with the
Kremiin bosses.
The leaders Of the Western
world have not-and do not
intend-to recognize the East
German puppet regime. The
only government we recog-
nize is that Of West Ger
many. We have insisted in
vain for several years that
there shall be a reunification
Of Germany by free elections.
But We have been put on
notice by Moscow. before q
final decision on a summit
conference, that the relaxa-
ton Of tension between East
and West by the unification
Of free and satellite Germany
will not be considered by
Comrade Khrushchev.
All we may expect out OF
such a parley is an intense
fication Of cultural and eco
nomic exchanges which the
USSR is seeking now. These
do not require the presence
Of President Eisenhower. They
can be agreed on by assistant
secretaries in the foreign
Offices Of the four countries.

Probers Get Nowhere
Influencing Schwartz

Representative Flynt, Demo-

himself of a CAB regulation

munication between any mem
Der Of the board and any per-
son on a pending case.
Question Of Legal Advice
Was it unusual. Representa-

Minnesota wanted to know, for
the CAB to grant a stay Of its
decision so that North Ameri-
can Airlines could keep oper-
ating. Find me the influence
there, he suggested.
DR.. Schwarz replied that had
Murray Chotiner merely wanted
legal advice. he would not have
gone to the White House.
Representative O'Hara asked
DR.. Schwartz If he knew how
many Congressman, how many
Senators had been interested in
the North American case.
But DR.. Schwartz had only a
question in reply: Are we To
assume that 1t is common prac-
tice for the Assistant to the
President to 60 over a case with
the then acting chairman Of the
CAB for q private litigant?"
Defeat Notwithstanding
Finally. Representative
O'Hara triumphantly preferred
defeat as proof Of purity.
Adams did not influence the
final decision" he said roundly
North American lost the case. "
But DR.. Schwartz was ada
mant. Murray Chotiner, he
said, wanted a delay. CAB
granted the delay. They lost
the final decision in the courts,
Representative Hale, Repub-
lican Of Maine, next attempted
the task Of introducing a more
tolerant note into DR.. Schwartz
convictions.

asked the ex-counsel II he really

Communication does SUBJ
stantially affect the oppor-
tunity Of a people to enjoy
a high standard Of living.
Russia has lots more wintry
weather than the United
States. What is occasional
here in the way Of storm
paralysis is frequent in Soviet
Russia.
There is, in other words,
a lot of progress the Soviet
rulers have to make before
their people can enjoy the
earthly things they should
have instead of being COM
PEELED to see billions Of rubles
spent on "Sputniks." It is
significant that. Of all the
published comment that came
out Of the United States
when the first "Sputnik" was
launched last autumn. the
criticism that all this was at
the expense of human suf-
fering in Soviet Russia was
singled out for extensive
treatment in the Soviet
propaganda organs. 1t evil
IDENTIFY got under the skin Of
the Communists. They have
been trying ever. since to
spread their rebuttals, but
these have a hollow sound.
For the people Of the vast
empire ruled by the Kremlin
are. day in and day out, suf-
fering privationS which are
intensified by primitive
transportation and insuffi-
cient means of communica-
ton. 1t takes a blizzard or
two in America to emphasize
what the people of Soviet
Russia are up against con-
Stantly-and such oppressed
people certainly do not want
another world war. They do
want the right to control
their own government, and
they'll get it some day-for
it's the only way to material
well being, too.

Knight, though widely viewed
as the underdog.
Senator Knowland'S cam
paign for Governor also has
collided with the economic
recession. AS almost his first
step, Senator Knowland an
nounced he would sign a rea-
sonable right to work bill.
Many observers pronounced
this a rash move even in
prosperity; with California
now suffering from unem-
ployment in aircraft and
many other industries 1t
seems even less desirable as a
political issue.
The working man may
turn away from unions or
feel Indifferent when jobs are
plentiful; when unemploy-
ment abounds the union
takes on the aspect of a storm
cellar. The right-to-work
issue also affects relatively
few people except labor,
which it tends to unite.

formed by Mr.. Dulles on
those who lavished him with

his supporters. Some Senators
fear his action may have adj
verse repercussions, not only
on the British and French
governments which supported
the Secretary's position but
also on American prestige in
the other free countries. Mr..
Dulles words have been in
terpreted by the Soviet prop
. uganda machine as meaning
that he has caved in and the
last obstacle to q summit
meeting has been removed.
One Of the chief Soviet
propagandists said on Febru-
airy IA: 1T, is a good thing
that the American and Soviet
governments now agree that
a summit conference would
be a good thing and a neces-
sary thing without any pre-
liminary conference at the

audiences that the Geneva
summit meeting in 1855 was
held without preliminarieS
and proved to be a great
success" It was indeed. but
only for Soviet propaganda
purposes. It cooled on tenn

1t makes one wonder, Incl

today with such inadequate

With a population. of more
than 200 million the Soviet
Union has only 72.400 miles
of railroad track, compared
to Americas 100000 miles.
Turning to ordinary high
ways, the Soviets have only
$4,000 miles of paved roads
compared to about 2.3 mil
lion miles in the United
States. This would ring the
earth more than 80 times.
AS for telephones, there are
only 861, 900 in the entire
Soviet Union, compared to
more than 60 million in the
United States. This means
that, in the Communist en-
pire. people have to spend a
lot of time going from place
to place to do what a tele-
phone call does for the aver
age American.
So far as automobiles are
concerned. the Soviets have
only about 100000 passenger
cars, in contrast to about Sc
million passenger cars regis
tered in the United States.

funds to run for Governor,
the big campaign contribu-

Governor Knight capitulated

Man may be talking big
about going to the moon. but
actually he hasn't conquered
his own problems of COM
munication on earth. The
reminder comes when bliz-
yards and freezing tempera-
lures in our big cities tie up
transportation and paralyze
communications so that work
stops, stores close. schools
suspend and whole regions
take on a primitive aspect
not unlike the 1905.
This is a time when facili-
ties like railroads, which
have had a hard time COM
peting with newer forms Of
travel, come into their own.
Over the week end when air.
lines were having trouble
landing their planes in many
places, buses were running
less frequently and individual
automobile riders were stalled
on the highways. the MAIN
stay Of American transporta-
tion--the railroads - came
through to carry a large Sec
ton of the travelling public
and to maintain the move
ment Of food supplies and
mail.
This correspondent on Sun
day was on the Afternoon
Congressional" of the Penn
Sylvania Railroad which usu-
ally makes the trip between
New York and Washington in
three hours and 35 minutes.
AS a result of the snarl in
traffic in the rail yards. the
train was more than an hour
delayed in leaving the sta
ton in New York and took
about six hours to make the
trip. The number of people
at each stop clamoring for a
chance to get on the train
was unprecedented. The rail
officials allowed passengers to
stand in all the aisles and
squeezed them into every
conceivable space - to give
