The House earlier had re-
fused to approve the additional
amount. It was not debated
again last night but was simply
lost In the adjournment rush.
Also bypassed in the House
was q measure cleared last
night by the Senate to bar
Washington courts from re-
quiring clergymen to testify as
to disclosures made them, ex-
cept when such testimony has
the consent of those involved.
Church leaders had been
hopeful Of favorable action.
However, the bill was not
brought UP on the House floor.
leaving 1t to further action at
the next session,
A series of maneuvers enabled
the stadium bill to pass despite
objections on the House floor
by Representative Gross, Re-
publican Of Iowa.
1t was passed by the Senate
at ll:15 pm. shortly after sur
viving Mr.. Gross attack in the
House.
Stripped from the measure
was a Senate amendment to re-
quire competitive bids on con-
struction contracts for the ac-
cess roads and parking facili-
ties.
Amendment Dropped
Early in the day. Senator
Bible, Democrat of Nevada, and
Representative Mcmillan, Dem
ocrat Of South Carolina. agreed
the am en- d m ent must be
dropped. Carrying the bid pro-
viso, the stadium bill, as passed
by the Senate, had to win
House approval.
Mr.. Gross. an old foe of the
stadium authorization,
was determined to object. And
one objection could kill any bill
yesterday.
Senate and House leaders
co-operated with the District
Committee chairmen to return
the complete bill, the bid pro-
vision included, from the House
to the Senate to escape Mr..
Gross.
The economy-minded Repub-
lican exhausted opposition tao
tics by objecting to the
transfer on grounds the House
lacked a quorum last night.
Speaker Rayburn counted 239
on the floor. more
than most spectators could see.
That sent the bill to the
Senate. On a motion of Sen
ator Bible, the Senate dropped
the amendment and passed the
stadium proposal as it origi-
nally cleared the House earlier
IN the session.
Hospital Raises Okd
The Senate took time out
last night to pass a bill to raise
salaries of three st. Elizabeth's
Hospital officers.
Three top officials would ben
eft from the legislation, which
failed to get any attention in
a House preoccup.ed with the
Federal foreign AID and civil
rights proposals.
Superintendent Winfre d
Overholser would draw $4,000
his assistant, $4,000. and his
chief physician, $17.500, under
the Senate-passed measure
Present salaries are $16.335
$14,910 and $l4,430 respec-
lively.
But allowances for domestic
help. foodstuffs. telephones
laundry and living quarters
were granted the hospital Of
ficials for many years in addi-
ton to their salaries.
The Controller General in
1856 ruled those allowances
we're greater than services rem
dered. The Health. Education
and Welfare Department then
proposed a substantial salary
adjustment to help offset the in
creased charges they would in
cur if they continued to live in

The President asked for a
Decentralization increase in
the gasoline tax to keep the
national superhighway pro-
gram going and meet a deficit
in the highway trust fund.
The Democrats at first re-
jected any gas tax hike but
finally reluctantly put through
a temporary 1-cent boost. But
even with this there will be a
showdown in the program.
The biggest blow dealt the
President was the Senate's
refusal to confirm the nomi-
nation of Lewis L. Strauss as
Secretary of Commerce. II
reluctantly approved appoint
ment of Mrs. Clare Booth Luce

raised such a fuss that Mrs

No one could ask for a more
comprehensive detailed study
of the whole subject than this
one by Peggy Schulz. a past
master at the art of turning
seeds into cash. But before you
get carried away with the
whole wonderful idea, take a
minute or two to assess your
stock Of patience and your will
ingness to be faithfully on the
job throughout the season.
Mrs. Schulz explains in de-
tail the erection of different
types Of greenhouses, their
comparative costs and values.
She explains the running or
maintaining of whatever type
you choose in reference to
heating, shading, ventilating
and the use of every inch Of
space.
Soil is discussed and water
ing problems and where to pur-
chase seed and then what to
raise for profit and how to

Dreory Look in Winter

green look" in winter.
Place your evergreenS so they
help tie the house to the ground,
blend into the view from the
street, or from your back door.
The more evergreens you plant,
of course, the more your home
will look the same in winter
and summer. Evergreens can
emphasize the winter beauty of
deciduous trees and shrubs that
shed their leaves and yet have
beautiful branching, or bark
colors. Strive for variation in
color in your evergreen plant
ings-color may run from the
grays to deep green's. Bright
red or orange berries add
warmth and cheerfulnesS.
Most homes can be far more
attractive in winter with gener-
GUS use of broad-leaved and
needed evergreens and berried
shrubs. And this fall is the
time to plant in order to re-
move that dreary look next
winter.

LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
To Make 1t Rain, Repair the Pump
By JAMES BlRcHFlELD

It took a lot of work to bring
q rain out here in the country,
and if it hadn't been for Bill
McCann fixing my little pump
after hours, we might not have
gotten the showers that finally
came along. ..-
don't know why it took so
long before I finally got around
to getting the pump out Of the
barn and down to the edge Of
the pond, for I might have
known that as soon as it got
pumping the rains would come.
I suppose one reason was that
since I had last used the pump,
I had used up most of the elec-
trio wiring that went with it
for other projects. But since
things seemed to be drying up,
finally got the pump out and
found that 1t wouldn't force
water from the pond to the
garden.
And that is where Bill Nc
Cam came in. He put in new
feathers that night, and next
morning we were in business.
OWe watered everything in
sight, and by evening the clouds
were beginning to gather.
That night we had a fine,
gentle rain, and all next day
there were showers. Then,
after a day of clear skies, an
other rain and things are look
ing better than they have
looked all summer.
The pump is still set up. and
1t needs only the flick of a
switch to give the flowers a last
fall soaking.
Watched a kingfisher the
other morning as he tried to
rob my pond. He spent most of
the morning making dives into
the water from the black gum
tree at the ponds edge, and I

couldn't see clearly enough to
tell if he caught any fish.
We had an osprey one time
and he f1shed from the same
tree, but this is the first king
fisher I've seen. I understand
you may find many along the
old canal, and I'm glad our
pond has attracted one inland.
After he left I found a dead
bass floating among the cat
tails, and it could be that the
fish was too large for him. I
meant to take the fish out of
the water and bury it, but for
got. And when I looked next
morning, some animal had done
my job for me.
There was nothing Of the fish
left but a few scales and the
tail. I haven't been able to
figure out what it was-whether
bird or beast-but it is good
to know that scavengers are
about to tidy up the place.

The colors are unusually long
in coming to our woods this
fall. The fall heat, I suppose,
has held back the triggering
process that shuts off the
chlorophyl supply to the leaves
and sets in motion the produc-
ton of the chemicals that paint
the leaves in tones Of rich reds
and yellows. Only the dogwoods
and sumacs have colored so far.
notice our dogwoods are
heavy with red berries, and all
day long you can hear the
crack of acorns hitting the tin
barn roof as they fall from our
big white oak.
There is a good acorn crop
this year, and Pierre Parker
tells met he has harvested over
a bushel of chestnuts from his
hybrid trees.
Looks like the wild life will
winter well.

Many home properties need
iessly look barren and dull in
the cold weather months. In
every area hit by heavy frost
and that includes most of the
country, the home owner can
provide beauty in winter with
a modest planting program
this fall.
A dozen evergreen trees and
shrubs can give the small
property a welcome green color
when everything else around
the home looks cold and dreary
Here is the minimum of ever
green plants required to
brighten the home in winter:
/. Two low-growing ever
green shrubs, one at each side
of the doorway.
2. Several low-growing ever
green's or more planted along
the foundation of the house.
Don't just plant them in a
row, use different foliages and
forms of growth.
