Cormack is hopeful Of House
passage by the following
Wednesday or Thursday.
The fact that Thursday,
March II, is st. Patrick's Day
may help bring vote Wednes-
day so that House members
from big eastern cities could
get home for the festivities.
There is also a big celebration
planned in Boston for March II
to celebrate the 184th anniver-
sary Of the evacuation Of that
city by the British. and'that will
attract some members.
If Southerners in the House
delay final action, leaders may
consider night sessions-a rar-
ity in that branch of Congress.
One Southern Senator said
yesterday there is a remote pos
sihility the Southerners might
agree to vote late this week on
some amendments which they
think are likely to fail.
This category would include
the liberal proposal to let the
Attorney General file injunc-
ton suits to speed school
integration or to protect the
civil rights Of individuals in any
phase of every day life. This is
the so-called Title III of the
1857 bill, which was defeated
at that time. Its revival is being
opposed by Senator Johnson,
who points out that the Eisen-
hover administration also has
opposed it.
It is not clear how Title III
or other liberal amendments
could be called up without first
disposing of the pending ques-
tion, which is the first section
of the seven-point administra-
ton package. The pending Sec
ton makes it crime to use
force or threats to interfere
with a court order for integra-
ton Of a school.
Conference Is Obstacle
The big argument in favor of
having the Senate wait for a
House bill, and then accept it,
Is that this would complete the
legislation without long,
drawn out conference between
the two chambers.
Southern Senators say they
would continue to fight against
the House bill. But If the House |
does not broaden its bill beyond |
acceptance Of the court referee
plan for protecting voting
rights, it is believed there will
be enough moderates in the
Senate to invoke cloture and
accept it.
The effort to line up 81 votes |
for a compromise is based on |
the assumption that it will be
necessary in the end to apply |
cloture to pass a bill. If all |
Senators we're accounted for,
cloture would require 81 votes.
Senator Hennings, Demo-
crat Of Missouri, chairman of |
the Rules Committee, said that |
he plans to consult various
groups over the week end on
the kind Of voting rights pro-
posal that would be reasonably
sure Of mastering 81 votes. He
has an alternative of his own
calling for Federal enrolment
officers as a substitute for the
registrar and referee plans.
In yesterdays debate Senator
Talmadge, Democrat Of Geor-
gia, challenged the authority
OF. Congress to adopt the pro-
posal Of Attorney General
Rogers for the appointment Of
Federal voting referees. He
said is would be outside the
scope Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment' to the Constitution and
argued that the power to Ak
the he1qualif1cations Of voters was
reserved to the States. |

Shrub Pruning
1t is not too late to prune
the early spring Towering
shrubs if it was not done
earlier. This is especially
needed for the older shrubs
which are outgrowing their
space. Remove from a fourth
to a third of the oldest canes
cutting them of as close to
the ground as practical. Not
only does this pruning keep
them within bounds but it
keeps them looking young
and vigorous as well as main
tains the quality of bloom.
AmitroI
The weed killer, amino
triazole, frequently mentioned
on this Garden Page has now
been given a new common
name, Amitrol. The useful
ness of this herbicide remains
the same in spite of the
change in name. 1t is the
best of the poison ivy killers,

Spent Bloom?

Some gardeners remove the
spent blooms of lilacs, roses,
rhododendrons and other
flowers on the theory that
seed formation takes the
strength from the plant
which should go into new
growth or the formation of
next years bloom. Where fea-
sible this. practice is justified,
also it helps to improve the
looks Of the shrub after the
Towering season. However,
an application of fertilizer is
easier to give and probably
will do more good than the
removal of the spent flower

How to Disbud

The rose grower who
wishes long stemmed, large
flowers should disbud, that is
remove the side buds so as to
throw the strength into the
terminal bud. This is a stand
ard garden practice and
should be looked upon as a
finishing touch. 1t applies to
chrysanthemums, peonies and
other flowers. as we'll as to
the roses. This is not to
say that all roses should be
disbudded but those wanted
for exhibition as we'll as those
needed for indoor use. Good
Evening star., 1960-05-27

disbudding consists of remov-
ing the side buds while still
so small that a disfiguring
stub is not showing. If the
growth has gotten beyond the
easy snapout stage use a
razor blade or thin bladded
sharp knife.
Pinch Nuns
Chrysanthemums. as soon
as they have made 6 or 8
inches of new growth follow
ing the first pinching. should
be pinched a second time.
This is to stimulate branch-
ing so that the flower head
will be large. Pinching should
consist Of the removal Of the
growing point, the tender
young growth at the tip Of
each branch.
Spring Bulbs
Do not dig or remove the
tops of the early spring flow-
ering bulbs if you want bloom
another season. The bulbous
plants build up food supplies
and develop next springs
flower bud through their
leaves following the Towering
period. If the leaves are un-
or the bulbous plants
interfere with bed use, dig
them with a fair sized clump
of soil on the roots and
"heal-them-in" in a trench
in some convenient place. Fill
around each clump with soil
and keep the plants watered
so that they will continue to
function. If this is i'm
practicable dig the immature
bulbs and throw them away

This Week in Your Garden

Last week ends heavy
rains not only stopped much
garden work, but it undoubt-
edly leached out a portion
of the fertilizer. Grass and
weeds are growing vigorously
and need attention. Get them
while they are small. An
nuals may still be planted as
can dahlias. tuberouS rooted
beeonias, glads, and other
summer Towering bulbs.
Roses need the protection of
a good fungicide. Fermate
is still a good one. A DDT
spray applied to the new
leaves of the American holly
will probably reduce the
population Of holly leaf
miners.
ZoySIo LoNnS
Apparently many garden
ers with Zoysia lawns feel it
unnecessary to NOV them.
Zoysia lawns thrive best
when kept to a height of
about A-inch and the grass
clippings which decay very
slowly should be removed.
To let the thick spongy grass
grow taller and to leave the
clippings is to invite disease
troubles. Fortunately diseases
haW not been reported as
yet, but we should not invite
trouble. Where growth con-
tinues heavy it probably is
best to reduce the annual
feeding.

Research To Be Chief Attraction
At Annual Farm Field Day Aug. 3

Farm research, geared to Del

be highlighted at the University

that will give First State farm

School of Agriculture's research
in production of broilers, vege-
tables, field crops and fruit.
Tours of the expert m e n a

ton of the Farm Field Day this

tions with up-to-date answers
were selected as typical of those
most frequently asked by the
public.
In compiling the pamphlet,
the American Cancer Society Sc
lected nine categories of ques-
tions which are most frequently
asked by the public about can
Ger. These concern the nature
of cancer, what causes it, how
cancer can be detected, ques-
tions of particular significance
to men, women and about can
Ger in children. One group of
questions and answers is devot-
ed to vital statistics about can
Ger, presenting such information
as the geographical relationship
to the disease. Qt points out that
in parts of India, Malaga and
the Dutch East Indies cancer of
the inner surface of the cheek
is very common, whereas it is
comparatively rare elsewhere.)
The booklet also says, Can
Ger of the bladder is more pre-
valent in Europe than it is in the
JUS. Skin cancer is about three
times more frequent in Texas
and Arizona than in Maine and
Vermont.
Breast cancer is the most
common form of cancer among
white women of England and
the United States whereas it is
comparatively rare in Japan.

questions are given in a newly

The pamphlet points out that
the number of recorded cancer
deaths each year has increased
from 4l,000 in 1900 to about
