10 a shorter work week Tor the
entire service.
The various craft unions at
GPO have been asking Public
Printer Raymond Blattenberger
for a IS or 3712 hour week.
They based their request on
the fact that most Of the print
Ing industry in this country
have similar work weeks.
Under the law the Public
Printer is authorized to ap-
prove a shorter week for his
employees, subject to approval
by the Joint Congressional
Committee on Printing. Mr.
Blattenberger has denied the
request in previous years.
This year he denied the re-
quest again in contract nego-
tiations with the first group Of
GPO craft unions. However,
Mr.. Blattenberger did not close
the door. He promised that If
he subsequently approved a
shorter week for the craft en-
ploye groups with which he
still has contract negotiations
this year, the shorter work
week would be made to apply
10 all GPO craft employees. Con-
tract negotiations with GPO
printers. preSsmen and otner
craft units are due to start
soon.
Top GPO officials declare
that a shorter work week there
is inevitable" They say il
could come this year. If not this
year, then in the near future
they predict.
If and when the GPO gets
q shorter work week, it un-
doubtedly will provide the i'm
petus for Federal employe
leaders to seek legislation to
provide shorter working hours
for the rest of the Government
service.
Actually, it was this factor
that caused the Civil Service
Commission several years ago
to urge the Public Printer to
consider carefully the Govern
ment-wide implications of a
shorter GPO work week on the
rest of the Federal service be-
fore making his decision.
KENNEDY NOMINATION.
Although they cannot say so
publicly, most Federal and
postal employe union leaders
look with favor on Senator
Kennedy's nomination as the
Democratic presidential candi-
date.
They point to his favorable
voting record in Congress on
behalf of Federal employe legis-
lation. They also feel that he
would be sympathetic to their
objectives for the future.
incidentally, William c. Do
.herty. president of the Nation
al Association Of Letter Car
riers, who supported Senator
johnson for the Democratic
nomination, will be found sup
porting the Kennedy johnson
ticket within the limitations of
the Hatch Act.
Actually, Mr.. Doherty'S sup
port of Senator Johnson is in
-terpreted by many Capitol Hill
observers as a move that in
sured enactment of the Federal
and postal employe pay raise

Senator johnson was anxious
ITO secure labor support and
welcomed the support of Mr.
Doherty. who is also a vice
president Of the AFL-CIO.

How Big Is Container?
Potted plants will thrive If

the roots will obtain the needed
food and moisture. The size of
pot will depend upon the kind
of plant: roses. azaleas and ca

in the container than win zin-
MAS, alysSum. marigolds, Pc

should be well supplied with
humus, peatmoSs or compost,
and 1t should also contain sand
so that excess moisture will
quickly drain away. The humus

it for the roots. but excess
water will exclude the air and
the plants will soon suffer.
Watering is a must for the
potted plants whether indoors
or out. If in the open rainfall

but otherwise they will need a
daily watering. A liquid ferti-
lizer should be given every few

Starting the Season
Our season could easily start

fodils, then the tulips and other
kinds could follow if the plant

Azaleas in pots could well move

at their prime. And, If the

could be brought to the front
while in bloom.

A recent press release by the
American Association of Nurs-
erymen reminded me of the
intriguing garden entered by
the Cheverly Garden Club in
the competition, Gardens Of
the Future" at the National
Capital Flower and Garden
Show.
The release offered sugges-
tons as to how the garden
could be kept in flower during
the growing season with potted
plants and shrubs.
The Cheverly Garden Club
exhibit showed a garden taat
might be changed about to meet
any wish of the owners because
their plants were all in pots. In
fact the garden area was grav-
elled so that the pots could be
sunk into the gravel and look
as though they were planted.
Common in Europe
This use of potted plants in
the garden is used much more
in the Old World than in the
Eastern States but it is a
thought well worth considering.
A number of the garden centers
have various kinds of Towering
plants in pots at almost any
time during the season and the
gardener need only consider
the space and the color ar
rangement before ordering.
Those who are ambitious
might well decide on the needs
for the terrace, the patio and
the background and grow the
plants in pots so that they will
be ready for duty as needed.

What a glorious springtime
1t has become. A riot of flowers
Is blooming and all forms, sizes
and textures are spread before
us in joyous, tempting colors so
that we have difficulty in
choosing.
Colors in our homes are usu-
ally muted, or in color Ian
g1lage, they are of a grayed or
tonal value. In contrast. the
spring flowers are filled with gay
and vibrant clear color which
transforms certain areas into
cornpellingly bright centerS.
Most people are shy in the use
Of color. They like to stay
within the limits of good
taste" This is often expressed
by harmonious blendings Of
values of one color or various
colors into soft and gentle
groupings. Others find joy in
using sharp contrasts and yet
successfully remain within the
range of good taste.
When you are confronted by
an exciting palette of color,
keep a few guiding thoughts
utmost in your mind. First, you
might choose flowers for a
n1onochromatic arrangement,
involving one color and one
only. Here you must find many
graduationS of the color you
choose. Second. you may think
OF choosing the sharp compile
nient of two opposing colors or
color areas. Third, the choice
might be a whole group of
colors which blend harmonious
ly into the soft neighborliness
OF an analogy.
Leorn About Color
We all live with color and see
are very young. Some of us
have developed a keen in
stinctive feeling for it, others
stay uncertain and hesitant.
However. it is interesting and
easy to learn even more
about color. You need not
be color blind to be blind
to color. This defect is not
at all physical; it lies in
the awareness of an attitude
towards things around us. So,
