The logn-discussed National
Portrait Gallery-an historical
museum Of portraits and sculp-
,ture Of Americas most distin-
guished citizens-will become an
Important addition to Washing
toms cultural attractions II pres
ent plans materialize.
- Senator Humphrey, Democrat
of Minnesota, last month intro
, duced legislation to establish such
q gallery Ito foster patriotism
and educate the coming genera
ton in what our country stands
for" Under legislation enacted
in 1858 the National Portrait Gal
lery would be appropriately placed
In the historic Patent Office Build
ing, Seventh and Ninth and F and
G streets NV. This building, con-
structed between 1887 and 1867,
Is one of Washington's finest
works Of architecture.
The Portrait Gallery, as a sep
arate bureau of the Smithsonian
Institution, would be more O his
torical museum than an art gall
lery. 1t would become a national
archive for the display and pres
ervation Of paintings and sculp-
ture depicting the personalities of
prominent Americans who have
made significant contributions to
the development and growth Of
our civilization and culture.
The Original ldeo
The concept of a National Por-
trait Gallery has been current in
the Smithsonian for more than
IS years. Since the Civil War
many paintings of American
civilian and military leaders have
been presented to the institution.
After World War I many histori-
cal portraits, like the one of Gen.
Pershing now hanging in the
Natural History Museum, were
acquired by the Smithsonian's
National Collection of Fine Arts.
The idea of a specific museum
for such historical paintings per-
haps first took concrete form
when Andrew w. Mellon, in
gathering works of art for the
National Gallery, bought in the
middle '30s the famous Clark
portrait collection Of famous
Americans. At that time David
E. Finley, first director Of the
National Gallery and now chair
man of the Fine Arts Commits
sion, planned with Mr.. Mellon
that the Clark collection should
become one of the nuclei Of q
national portrait gallery.
Most of the Clark collection,
consisting mainly of paintings of
18th and 18th century historical
figures by prominent American
artists. is being held in storage in
the National Gallery Of Art,
which displays only paintings

traits would be provided by the
Government.
Contemporary Figures
The question Of whether por-
traits Of contemporary figures
should be commissioned is one
that the director and trustees will
determine at a later date. Some
distinguished art museum direc-
tors would oppose this on the
basis that the collection should
be composed Of those whose place
in American history has been
clearly established by the passage
OF time. For this reason it might
be decided that except for Pres
idents Of the United States, no
individual should be eligible for
consideration until 10 or 20 years
after his death.
The National Portrait Gallery
might also include extensive ar
chiveS Of photographs of famous
Americans, for the use of scholars
and students.

the subject.
Arms .Porley Set
On March is representatives
from 10 nations will meet at
Geneva for negotiations on dis
armament. There appears to be
little prospect of any kind Of
early progress, since the deadlock
already exists over even the goal
Of the conference. The Soviet pro-
posals will rest on the Khru-
shchev program presented to the
General Assembly Of the United
Nations last September: Total dis
armament. The West will en-
phasize controls and inspection
first. with arms cuts to follow in
phases.
Izvestia's article called all the
points made by Mr.. Herter in his
February l8 speech "old proposals
that have already been rejected
by the Soviet Union" The Soviet
reaction to the subject of inter-
national controls remained the
same -" espionage programs" -
and the Soviet program also was
unchanged-abolish arms and
armies and there will be no need
for inspections and controls.
Representatives of the Western
nations chosen to attend the Ge-
neva talks have been meeting
quietly in Washington for sew
eral weeks in an effort to CO.
ordinate policy. Although there
have been no official announce
ments on progress, it is reported
that no unity yet exists on a COM
mon approach to the Communist
program. A wide disparity of
opinion seems to exist on how far
to go to meet the Soviet proposals.

What Bulbs?

Bulb planting should con-
tinue in high gear with the ex-
ception of the tulips and the
Dutch iris which might well be
planted last. preferably after
Thanksgiving. 1t is common to
give the tulips. daffodils and
hyacinths the main emphasis
in the bulb garden. Undoubted-
ly they do make the biggest
show. but for many gardeners
the dainty little early bloomers
are also most important, her
aiding in spring long before the
others wake up. Include snow
drops, grape hyacinths, glory
of -the-Snow, winter aconite,
and many others to round out
your garden picture with bloom
from New Years Day on.
Daffodil is the common name
and NarcisSuS the botanical
name for all members of this
snowy spring Towering group of
dubious plants. These two
names apply to the jonquilS,
those dainty deep yellow, in
tensely fragrant, and often
times carrying two flowers
on round, onion-like stems,
whereas the other daffodils
have flattened stems; to the
trumpets, those large snowy
blooms with a trumpet longer
than the petals that make up
the perianth; the doubles, the
miniatures and all of the 9TH
ers. Just say Daffodil and you
won't be wrong.

Weeds Can Be Killed
By Several Methods

The gases, If they are used,
need to penetrate to a depth of
at least 6 inches to rid the
soil of bugs and nematodes.
Temperature Is Factor
Most of the weed killers,
however, do not affect the king
dom of the bugs and so the
gardener will first need to de-
eide If he wants a complete
job or just a weed killing.
Certainly the gas method is
the quicker.
Within five days after the
soil is ready and treated with
methyl bromide, planting can
be done with complete safety.
However, there is one point
that should not be overlooked
in making the decision as to
which material should be used.
Methyl bromide should not be
used when soil temperatures
are below so degrees, preferably
at higher temperatures.
The chemical weed killers,
however. may be used at almost
any temperature above freeZ-
ing. They are most effective

Beoonius

The tuberous rooted begonias
are easy to carry over winter
if left in the pots in which
they grew this past summer.
Simply place the pots on their
sides beneath the laundry
trays in the basement. The
moisture there prevents the
soil in the pots from becoming
bone dry. Of course, the pots
can be kept on the porch where
bloom will continue as long
as the temperatures remain
well above freezing and the
necessary moisture supply is
provided by the gardner. When
the tops are completely dried
the pots are ready for storage.

Most gardeners are so con-
cerned with getting their seeds,
bulbs, plants and shrubs into
the ground that they do not
think about the weed problem
until it is too late to take
drastic action. Undoubtedly
the best way to get rid of weeds
is before anything else is
planted. Not only is it now
feasible to kill of the weeds
but at the same time we can
get the soil into good physical
condition.
Most of the materials used
in ridding the soil of weeds
and soil inhabiting insects give
the best results if the ground
is first thoroughly loosened
(pulverized. Roto-tilling is
the easiest on the back and
legs and probably is a great
deal quicker, but unless it pene-
trates to a depth of or 8
inches it is not likely to give
the same results as good old
fashioned spading fork in the
hands of an experienced digger.

when the soil is warm and the
weeds are growing.
Granular cyanimid. 2. AID,
"a. ST, the dinitro compounds,
phenyl mercuric acetate and
others may be mixed with the
soil and allowed to kill the
weeds prior to planting. All of
them persist in the soil for
some time-from 2 weeks to
several months, depending upon
the rate of application. Usually
they may be flushed from the
lighter soils with a heavy
soaking.
Then there are soil sterilants
such as sodium chlorate, calcium
cyanamid, sodium trichloro-
acetate, sodium arsenite, am
monium sulfamate, etc. These
will singly or in combination
destroy all plant life in the soil
but they persist for some time
after application depending
upon the rate of application and
the rainfall. Most gardeners
consider them for use in areas
where they do not want plants
of any kind, such as driveways,
tennis courts, etc.
2, AID and Dalapon
Less potent and yet valuable
are the combinations Of such
materials as 2, AID and Dalapon
the first for the broadleafed
weeds and the second for peren-
nial grasses.
Perhaps in the spring instead
of 2, AID We might well use the
| Forthcoming combination of 2,
AID, 2, 4. SIT, and Silvex. The
latter will kill certain weeds
that the first two, do not.
The Dalapon is the slow one
to disappear from the soil but
heavy hosing can speed it.
At any rate this combination
should eliminate weeds and
weedy perennial grasses from
the soil and make gardening
much less of a chore. Perhaps
we can also take steps to remove
the crabgraSs but that must
come later when tie soil will not
be disturbed because every soil
change brings fresh seed into
the terminating zone.
Dachal and Zytron are the
two materials now recon-
mended for the killing of DOR
mant crabgrass seed. This is an
important weed to eliminate
but doubtless it would be too
expensive to kill all Of the seeds
in the soil with these materials
Methyl bromide would be a
more logical material to use.
A weed free lawn and garden
sounds like Utopia. Perhaps ii
is because even though you
achieve a clean start you still
must reckon with the birds. the
breezeS, and even the plants we
buy with soil on their roots
However, there is little doubt
that once we have the soil free
from these troublesome plants
keeping it so is not at all diff
ficult. At least that seems to be
! the commercial view these days
The plantsmen know that weed
ing is an expensive operation
and that eliminating the weeds
and weedseeds in the soil is
much more economical than
paying men to pull the weeds.

kinds of evergreens and plants
that need time to become es-

Why Pines Shed
Needles in Autumn

Pine needles now are turning
brown and dropping. This is
a normal shedding. Three
year-old or older needles are
cast of.
Fir, spruce, hemlock and
arborvitae also are casting of
their older needles. The only
cause for alarm is when needle
shedding is excessive due to
attack by aphids, mites, fungus
disease or physiological injury.
Then. such trees should be
perked up by timely feeding.
