ant qualities of a plant be-
fore you invest your money
in it. If you find a plant you
like is very susceptible to
diseases, it may be wise to
consider substitutes. often
acceptable substitutions may
be found within the same
species.
AS an example. the Ameri-
can elm is highly susceptible
to the fatal Dutch elm dis
ease. If you plant one you
run a serious risk of losing
it. Because of its unique
beauty and gracefulness you
may be willing to make this
gamble.
Less risky is a Buisman
elm which is resistant to
the Dutch Elm disease, or
you can choose another men,
ber of the elm family, Jap
anese zelkova, which is also
resistant.
A simple planting can be
assembled from plants which
are completely satisfactory

point, yet relatively free from

1t is a sad fact that some
of our most desirable orna-
mental plants are especially
susceptible to disease. While
many diseases are mild in
their effects upon plants, and
are controllable. others are
extremely harmful to the ap-
pearance of the plant and
can. indeed. be quickly fatal.
This is not meant to dis
courage you from planting
worthwhile plants simply be-
cause they are susceptible to
disease. If you like roses. for
instance, you will be willing
to spend the time necessary
to spray and dust them to
prevent or control the many
diseases that can afhict them.
1t is the purpose. here, to
point out that there are many
fine flowers. shrubs and trees
which are relatively disease
free. In many cases, these
can serve your purposes salts
factorily with little need for
the kind of attention more
vulnerable plants demand.
1t is well, therefore, to in
quire into the disease resist

France Still Differs
On West's S Arms Plan

PARIS, Mar. 10 (AP).-A
flve-power Western disarma-
ment plan was presented to
the North Atlantic Council
today preliminary to East
West disarmament negotia-
tions opening in Geneva next
Tuesday.
Apparently France still did
not agree with the other four
nations-the United States,
Britain, Canada and Italy-on
all points of the plan. Sources
close to NATO said that a
spokesman for one of the five
nations presented a separate
view" OF the proposal to the
council.
A NATO spokesman said de-
tails of the plan would not be
revealed before the opening of
the negotiations in Geneva.
He called it "a serious plan
which does not contain propa-
ganda" and said it was sub
mitted to the council by all
five of the nations who will
represent the West at the &C.
neva talks with the Soviet
Union and four other Commu-
mist bloc members.
Evening star., 1960-03-10

Experts of the five Western
nations have been meeting
here for several days in an
effort to get full agreement.
but unofficial reports just prior
to the NATO Council meeting
said unity still had not been
achieved.
The French had been insist
ing that priority be given to
nuclear disarmament and de-
struction of stocks of nuclear
weapons. contending that they
presented the most serious
threat to world peace.
The United States, backed by
the other three nations, con-
tended this would rob the
Western world of its chief
deterrent to the Communist
bloc's superior manpower re-
serves. The United States
urged a STEP -by-Step disarma-
ment. with foolproof controls,
eliminating in destruction of
nuclear weapons.
The f1ve-power plan was pre-
sented to the NATO Council
by Frederick M. Eaton, head
of the United States delegation
of experts.

Builder Doubts Ability
Of 3 Negro Applicants

facilities for its program in
1854, when District schools
were integrated, rather than
face pressure for admitting
Negroes to the apprenticeship
courses"
The contractor replied, Mr..
DAILY said. that he would give
careful consideration" to the
Negro applicants. He said the
firm had only four to seven
electricians working on the
project now. but expected to
hire many more in about a
month, if weather permitted
progress on the building to 20
ahead on schedule.
Mr.. DAILY said he believed
the men have the necessary
training and skill" for the Job.
He said he would reserve judg-
ment on Mr.. Foley'S doubts
about their past experience un-
til he could consult with Leon
Chatelain, one of the archi-
tects on the project and the
head of the Commissioners
Council on Human Relations,
on which Mr.. Daily also serves.
Screening Applicants
Sterling Tucker, executive
director of the Washington Ur-
ban League, said today he was
afraid Mr.. Foley'S statement
would discourage qualified Ne
gro electricians from applying
for jobs with the firm. 1T
sounds as if the company is
not quite ready to divorce it
self from the union" he said.
The Foley Co. and three other
firms faced the threat of law
suit earlier in the week for
alleged violation of the nom
discrimination clause in their
Government construction con-
tracts.
The firms said they were
willing to hire Negro electri-
clans, but that none ever had
been referred to them by the
all-white Local 26. In a con-
ference with Federal officials
Tuesday, the four firms agreed
to consider qualified applicants.
regardless of race, from sources
outside Local 26.
The search for such appli-
cantS went on today. Mr..
Tucker said the Urban League
had begun careful screening
process and hoped to have a |
list of qualified and interested
applicants by next Thursday.
Urban League representatives
will meet with Negro con-
tractors this week end, he said.
to seek their cooperation and
expert advice on the best men
to refer for the jobs.
Mr.. Tucker said he would
also meet with AFL-CIO off,
cials, who are reported carry
ing out their own talent hunt"
in fulfillment of President
George Meany's pledge.
Mr.. DAILY said the United |
States Employment Service
also expected to refer addi-
tional applicants, but did not
want to go outside the Wash
ington area for them.
