displays Mary Laskers "seed money" has pro-
duced quite crop: plans for Office buildings in
midtown New York include areas for paintings
as a matter of course, plus rejecting pools and
colonnaded walks. Tight-6sted businessmen have
discovered there is something very practical in
beauty: it gives distinction to a building, street,
neighborhood New York had suddenly realized
that 900 tourists 60 to Washington every spring
Just to see the cherry trees bloom Business leaders
who had never thought of flowers before except on
Mothers Day now feel they have a weapon with
which to fight the flight to the suburbs, the decline
in downtown shopping.
The businessmen are realizing that rhen Mary
Lasker says, "It's important in dollars and cents
for city to establish pleasant image Of ITSELF"
she truly knOIUs Of tUhGt she speaks.
One dreary New York City area, the famous
Worth Street textile district downtown, has been
transformed; paintings have been set out great
repainting program has been completed, with the
result that district which was declining has seen
values shoot up, and new lease on life won.
Amazingly, the paintings seem inviolate. lncredu
lous authorities say they don't have single authen
ticated case of plantstealing. There a mix-up
in 1857, when the first Fifth Avenue paintings hap
pened to coincide with Queen Eizabeth's visit to
New York. Some people, assuming the flowers had
been put out to welcome the Queen, picked them
and took them home. Since it has been explained
that the displays are permanent, they have been
left untouched.
You need q few zeulots
Any city that wants to beautify itself will 6nd
however, that it has to work hard to do it. You'll
have to SELL the idea and you'll find that people
will need time think it over and get used to the
notion of beauty as public service. You need
some zeaots to get it going" says Mrs. Lasker.
But it's one Of the ways to better America. Let's
remember that we live by Joy, not by bread alone.
In arranging paintings, you'll have to be practical.
Don't kill the idea by trying to plant petunias
where there's no sur" says Mary Lasker. Call the
local nurseryman, and ask him what thrives in the
area He will know In crowded northern city streets,
we find that gingko trees and plane trees do well.
So do spring bulbs, begonias and NUNS. Farther
south, you can use azaleas and rhOdOdendrons.
Crabappes are useful in many places.
"Try to start with specific project. Have your
group make firm offer to your Park Department,
and then call the Mayor, and work with him. There's
a good chance that people will pitch in, not only
for the Joy of it, but because it makes your town
nicer place to live in, work in and VISIT and brings
an increase of activity.
Or, as Mrs Rosenberg, also busy woman who
has found time for municipal beauty, puts it: It's
vital to do things that make folks feel better. When
you watch people walk down a street, and spot the
flowers, you can actually see them relax 1t gives
them different feeling about their city, touching
kind of PRIDE It's sign of maturity that we're find
ing the courage to respond to beauty" - The End

Regulate Calving
With Chart

Keep a record OF cows due in
heat. says William H. Henderson,
county agent This can be done
easily and effectively with a new
heat expectancy chart now avail
able from Mr. Henderson or Exten-
sion Dairyman, Wilbur r. Hessel-
tine, Agricultural Hall. University
Of Delaware.
Used as a supplement to your
barn breeding chart, the heat chart
will help you develop regularity of
breeding and spread calving dates
through desired seasons, Mr.. Hem
derson says. 1t will tend to inn
prove the breeding efficiency of the
dairy herd. reduce percentage of
dry cows, and increase average an
nual milk yield.
For best conception results, turn
cows out regularly to catch cows in
heat It is best to turn them out
twice daily during the breeding
season or when trying to get GER
tain cows settled.
Pregnancy diagnosis by your
veterinarian pays of. You'll know
IL COWS are settled and your veter-
marian may be able to prevent
trouble before il occurs.
Many of the cows sold as nom

Let's Have the Truth

Perhaps it was necessary as mat
ter Of law for Judge Let's to diSqualify
himself in the trial of James r. Hoffa,
set for next week. At any rate, Judge
Let's took the view that disqualification
becomes mandatory If an affidavit Of
prejudice, such as Mr.. Hoffa filed
against him, is legally sufficient"
To find that an affidavit of prejudice
Is legally sufficient, however, is not the
same thing as holding that the charges
made in it are true. In this instance,
Judge Let's said he had mo thought or
intention of admitting the truth of the
affidavit or any part of It," We take
this to be denial of its truthfulness.
The reporter to whom Judge Let's is
alleged to have made the statements of
which Mr.. Hoffa complains categorically
denies that the affidavit is true. Yet it
was made under oath, and Mr. Hoffa is
responsible for it,
1t is not trifing thing to make
such charges against a Judge On the
contrary, it is very serious matter,
especially if the sworn accusations are
untrue. We think the United States at
torney, in an appropriate proceeding,
should make it his business in this case
to find out.

Open Door Policy

When New Jerseys Democratic Gov
ernor Meyner upset his States pro-Re-
publican voting habits to win two terms,
he qualified automatically as a dark
horse" possibility for a place on his
party's national ticket in 1860. The spec
ulation was encouraged by the fact that
he is barred from running for third
term in 1862, a circumstance that under
Standably lessons his incentive for con-
tinued political residence in Trenton.
Mr.. Meyner'S star has not grown
noticeably brighter in the past year. He
suffered somewhat in the otf-year voting
last November when he was unable to
lead his party to control of the State
Senate. His administrative record is
rated as good, but his acquaintance with
world and national affairs is considered
limited and his oratory uninspired. Still,
Mr.. Meyner comes from a State that
will have Al votes in the Democratic
National Convention and is in the elec-
toral college
Although described as cautious, Mr..
Meyner also is considered ambitious.
In television appearance last week end,
he listed the assets which a Governor
may produce as qualifications for
higher political honor. They included
the ability to select honest and able as
sociateS in office, to develop sound fiscal
and legislative programs, and to merge
various interests for the welfare and
economic needs of a State Mr.. Meyner
has reasonable claim to these assets.
He spoke also of "open doors" and the
possibilities of a draft" in terms of
national nominations.
Mr. Meyner is expected to be New
Jerseys "favorite son" in July, at least
for first ballot. If so, he will have Al
pairs of hands helping to keep the doors
open. Vice presidential drafts" have
developed out of less.

Summit and Mr.. Nixon

Together with a number of other
Democrats, Chairman Fulbright of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee is
in suSpecting mood at the moment.
He has feeling that there may be more
than touch of domestic politicking in
the announcement that Vice President
Nixon may substitute briefly for Presi-
dent Eisenhower at the coming summit
conference in Paris. Certainly, whether
justified or not, the suspicion is not un-
reasonable. After all, such a substitu-
ton could hardly fail to brighten Mr..
Nixon'S image as a world statesman. and
thus help him in his campaign for elec-
ton to the White House.
With that said, however, it seems
to us that this is an issue much too
bland, much too limited in scope and
significance, to drive Democrats into
throwing political conniption fits. To
begin with, as Mr.. Eisenhower has Just
explained at his news conference, the
question Of substitution will depend on
whether the Paris meeting lasts longer
than week and whether domestic
requirements" oblige him to return to
Washington. Further, assuming that
events make it necessary to call Mr..
Nixon from the sidelineS, he will fill in
for the President at Paris for only "a
couple Of days" at most. Quite obvious
ly, politically helpful though it may be
in limited sense, this could scarcely
have decisive effect on the November
election.
In any event, leaving election-year
politics to one side, the fact remains
that Mr.. Nixon is Vice President of the
United States. BY virtue Of the nature
OF his office, he is the right man, the
conStitutionally logical man, to subSti-
tute for Mr.. Eisenhower at the Paris
summit If such a move proves to be
necessary. True, this may serve Mr..
Nixon'S ambition to win the White
House in November, but it is something
that the DemocratS-much as they may
deplore it-cannot condemn, legally or
otherwise, without seeming to be full of
sour grapes.
