Prune Plants Now
For Spring Blooms

Now is the time to prune
your plants which bloom on
new growth in the Spring. Mr..
R. F. Stevens, MIR. c. w. Dun
ham and Mr.. R. w. Harris, spec
ialists with the University of
Delaware, will be explaining the
how and why's of pruning at
Farm and Home Week, 500 p.
m, Tuesday, February 9.
Pruning, Mr.. Stevens told
George Vapaa, county agricul-
tural agent, will train plants as
they grow, will develop best
growth for flowers or fruit, and
can develop certain formal or
informal effects. Pruning also
affects the welfare of the plant
by admitting air and light into
the plant for new growth, and
by preventing g plants from
crowding, in foundation plant
ings. Injured parts can be re-
moved and injury from ice
storms can be prevented.
Plants should be trained as
they grow. The experts will
demonstrate how to train the
most common varieties. Thew
will also mention pruning for
instance can upset the balance
between nitrogen (from the
roots) and sugar and starch
from the leaves). Removing top
branches from young shade
trees may result in sunscald or
winter injury to the trunk and
may prevent the development of
a strong tree of good shape.
Much worry about pruning,
MIR. Stevens added, might be
avoided if plants were more
carefully selected in the begin
ming. Some plants are giants by
nature, and it takes a lot of
care to make them stay in a
small space.
Also included in the Home
Gardens session will be a talk
by Professor c. E. Phillips, ag-
economist with the University,
on the selection of lawns.

$4,000 Bail Set
BY Local Courts
In Larceny Case

Edward A. Tracy, with aliases
of Robert Baker and other names
was brought back to Smyrna
last Saturday morning and
held under $4,000 bail for
further hearing before Magis-
trates English and Fleming on
charges of grand larceny, petty
larceny, and bad checks. He
was returned to the Wilmington
police department to face other
counts. Tracy, who had assum-
ed that name by being acquaint-
ed with the real Edward Tracy,
and had taken Edward Tracy's
drivers license, was arrested
January % as the outcome of
wide search, in the Penn Fruit
Market north of Wilmington in
the process of trying to cash
another check in the name of
Robert ]. Adams, the subjects
right name. Penn Fruit had been
alerted as to his method of cash
ing checks. He was picked up
by state police of the Penny
Hill troop. In the Smyrna incl
dent, with the assumed name of
Edward Tracy, he and his fam
lily rented a house at 26l East
North Street, had been there ap-
proximately two weeks and had
bought small items and paid
cash for them from Pleasanton's
Used Furniture Store. He then
purchased approximately $3.50
worth of new furniture there;
then went to Holly Hills Freez-
er and purchased a freezer full
of meats, valued at approx
mately $875, and made arrange
ments for them to be delivered
the next day. Tracy gave worth
less checks to people he had
established checks with, then
went to Wilmington and rented
a U-Drive-It van and moved out.
There had been a wide search
for Tracy. He had previously
been arrested in Philadelphia
for bad checks and stealing gov
ernment checks from the mails
at an apartment house in which
he was tenant. These offens-
es, for which he is being held
by police departments in Della
ware, amount to several thou
sand dollars. He told the Smyr-
ma police that on the Monday
following moving from here
early in December, he had sold
the furniture for $25 to a SER
vice man, and the freezer and
contents for $3.50. He has a
wife and six children.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
csc Bans Ratings
As Firing Causes
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staf Writer

Pending appeal courts the Civil Serv-
Commission has ordered Federal agencies
employees unsatisfactory performance rating the
firing him.
Instead the csc told agencies to the regular pro-
cedes of the oyd-La Toilette Veterans Preference
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-02-26

Act in getting rid of employees
deemed inefficient or insult
able.
Under these procedures, en-
ployes are given a written letter
Of charges. with a chance to
answer them. If the agency
then goes through with the
firing, veterans are entitled to
appeal to the csc.
The United States Court of
Claims several weeks ago ruled
that II veterans are fired
through the Performance Rating
Act. under which they are first
given unsatisfactory" perform
ance ratings and then dis
missed, they are entitled to full
appeals and hearings before
the Civil Service Commission.
csc officials have always held
otherwise. The csc has refused
to give veterans appeals rights
in this type of case based on
the merits of the case, declar-
ing that veterans were entitled
to appeals only if they were
fired as inefficient or insult
able under provisions Of the
Lloyd-LaFollette or Veterans
Preference Acts.
The csc has now asked the
Court Of Claims to reconsider
its decision. II the court re-
fuses, the commission may then
ask the Supreme Court to hear
the case.
However, until the appeal is
decided, the csc has asked
departments and agencies not
to use the unsatisfactory"
performance rating procedure
in getting rid of undesirable
employees. This apparently will
apply also to non-veteran en-
ployes, even though non-vet-
Grams do not have any appeal
rights to the csc regardless
of the way they are fired.
The csc feels that the Court
of Claims decision is contrary
to numerous decisions in the
Federal district courts and spe-
officially is contrary to the de-
cision in the case of Thomas
VS.. Ward decided by the United
States Court Of Appeals for
the District of Columbia on
August Is, 1855.
