Bethesda, Md.
Dear Sir:
Il notice you have a great
many letters from this Sec
ton. Are there more nature
lovers here than any place
else. or what? Or are we just
more interested?
Il have a problem about
plants. not birds.
MY wife insists on white
plants, and I like the darker
shades, the red and pinkS
and deep blues.
"As I look at things, the
white plants are too, too
much of a good thing.
Il keep on insisting we
have too many whites in the
yard, and she says she likes
'em. so I suppose that set
ties that.
Il would like to know,
however, just for my own in
formation, what is the justi-
f1cation for an all-whitc
garden?
Il have heard of the all
green garden, and in a few
places I have run into what
must be the ALFRED garden,
but I am still dubious about
this thing of having nothing
but white flowers.
Let me know about this.
Yours sincerely, HENRY
Ed"
Henry, you are absolutely
right, and absolutely wrong,
too.
In a normal small garden,
white flowers are best used
as accent material.
This means, of course,
that the white flowers must
not dominate.
Other colored flowers are
set off, as it were, by the
chaste white.
1t is marvellous what Just
one white one will do.
This seems to set the scale
of values. More whites than
red or pink or blue subdue
the latter, whereas Just a
few whites, scattered here
and there. bring out the
bolder tints.
1t is, we suspect, more a
matter of artistic apprecia-
ton than anything else.
There can be little ques-
tioning of the theory. Where
people differ is in the sppli-
cation, here as elsewhere.
There is seldom any real
understanding of this matter.
so people quarrel about the
wrong thing.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

beauty is superior, almost
to any other.
If, in some obscure way. a
person imbibeS early in life q
belief that white is an ethe-
real color. fitted for angels
and the like, then in later
life there may come an urge
for all-white surroundings.
Women sometimes go in
for all-white bedrooms, and
even carry this to the ex-
treme of an all-white living
room.
The white bedroom is sup
posed to look virginia., or
something. Actually, to 9TH
ers it may look very cold.
The science of colors is
regarded by some as no SCI
ence at all, but a sort of
superstition.
Thus red, a dominant COL
or, is supposed to have hearty
sexual overtones.
Some people. particularly
women, are always talking
about colors clashing in the
garden.
To listen to them, you
would think a pair of red and
pink bushes planted next to
each other were engaging in
fisticuffs or fencing with ra-
piers.
Really it is not that bad,
even in imagination.
1t is here that the white
and green Of the garden do
their best work.
If there is enough of these,
there will never be any Of
this "clashing," except in
some over-wrought viewers
mind.
Nature. in her forests and
fields, shows us how to mix
the various colors for the edi-
f1cation Of the birds and the
bees and also for the artistic
rightneSs in the eye of a
critical human.
Too many white flowers
give a pallid look to a place,
tend to deprive it of charac-
ter, as we say, and make some
onlookers uncomfortable all
the time they are in the yard.
This is a special feel, that
of comfort in a garden; if
the place irks you, in any
way, the thing to do is to try
to find out why, and then
right the situation. If it is
physical, this is easy enough;
but if it depends upon some
body's personal feelings in
the matter, it is not so easy,
is it, Henry?

Bockhonds Mr.. K.

At Linz, Austria. Nikita
Khrushchev has told the
world for the tenth time that
he would be willing to nego-
tiate with any future u. S.
Government. but that talks
with the Eisenhower Admin
istration were impossible.
What should have our an
swer been after his first re-
mark to that effect? We will
be glad to negotiate with any
government of the. Russian
peoples, except the one ruled
by the Communist dictator
ship. We will be happy to deal
with a government Of, by and
for the Russian peoples. The
Russian peoples never elected
the ruling clique and it does
not represent the wishes of
the people.
If the thousands Of Amer
leans who are planning to
tour the Soviet Union have
any sense of responsibility to
their own country, if they
have any sense of dignity,
they should cancel their tours
and let Khrushchev know
that they will visit Russia
only when it is rid of the ir-
responsible, murderous gang
Of Red fascists.
In a sense we are now get
ting from Khrushchev what
we are entitled to for having
gone all out to entertain the
murderer, to honor the head
of a gang which has murder
ed tens Of millions of Russian
people, has enslaved hundreds
of millions Of people and has
never made q secret of it's
design upon our freedom as
we'll.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Johnson's Sound Bid for White House
By GOULD LINCOLN

Senator Lyndon B. Johnson
of Texas is now making his
play for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination in deadly
earnest. And win or lose, his
first move-his widely broad
cast statement Of his formal
candidacy-was maSterful. He
wisely took the attitude that
the needs Of the country in
this vital era of conflict with
the Communist octopus far
transcend the personal ambi-
tions or the political future
OF any one man.
Unlike Senator John F.
Kennedy of Massachusetts,
in his Fourth of July reply to
the attacks of former Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman, the
Texas Senator did not insist
that he was qualified for the
presidency-indeed, Senator
johnson said that no man
can claim he is fully qualified
for that Office until he has
had actual experience as the
Nations Chief Executive. But
Senator Johnson left no doubt
in his hearers minds that he
is more mature and has had
wider experience in dealing
with important governmental
problems than his MaSsa-
chusetts rival.
"Duty to All the People"
To Senator Kennedy's ar
gument that any candidate
for the presidential nomina-
ton should have entered the
presidential preference prim-
ary contests in the States
holding such primary elec-
tions, Senator johnson point
ed out that he had had a
major duty in Washington
managing the legislative pro-
gram in the United States
Senate. Some one" john
son trenchantly commented,
has to tend the store!"
In this connection-and in
answer to the Kennedy taunts
that johnson and other
potential nominees failed to
offer themselves to the test
of popular vote in the prima-
ries-Senator johnson said;
Il have a post of duty and
responsibility here in Wash
ington-as the majority lead
er Of the United States
Senate. Because of that duty
"a duty to all the people
I cannot be absent when
there is public business at
stake. Those who have en-
gagged in active campaigns
Che meant Kennedy, though
he did not use his name)
have missed hundreds of
these votes. This I could not
do for my country or for
my party. AS much as !
would have liked to say yes
to those who have asked me
to make an early announce
ment of my candidacy for
the Democratic nomination
I could not do so while Con-
gress was in session. Now
that is changed. I am, as of
this moment, a candidate"
Johnson'S plea to the dele
gates at the Democratic Ma
tional Convention to take a
serious and second look
even those who in the early
days of the preconventior
campaign have favored Ken
nedy-at all the candidates
was not lightly made. Stress
ing the Importance of the
presidential Office johnson
said; IF he himself (the
President) is narrowly par
tiSan, if he himself is a
divisive influence, if he him.

ing government work. he be-
comes a weak link in the
whole chain of the Free
World" The Communists,
johnson declared, are "mov-
ing in to kill of, downgrade
the new presidency as a world
influence. If they can destroy
the worlds trust in this Office,
the Communists can destroy
the leadership of freedom tt
self" That, he said, was why,
when Khrushchev sabotaged
the Paris Summit Confer
ence, he declined to play the
Russians game: to help
Khrushchev divide the Amer
ican people and to divide the
nations of the free world.
While he did not say so, he
might have called attention
to the manner in which the
other candidates for the
Democratic presidential NOM
ination, led by Adlai Steven
son, rushed to the partisan
attack on President Eisen-
hover. 81 did not-and I will
not" Johnson continued,
leap in to chew on Pres
ident Eisenhower personally"
johnson also took a crack at
those candidates who have
made a practice of wringing
their hands over America as =
second rate, because" he
said, America is not second
rate"
How effective the johnson
plea will be remains to be
seen. 1t has been made, and
made effectively. Johnson's
supporters are now making
their claims Of strength for
the Texan. They say he will
enter the convention with
more than 500 delegate votes
and Kennedy with less than
800. From now until some
test arises in the convention
itself the claims of the
various candidates and their
camps will fill the air. The
problem of Kennedy is first
to outnumber in delegate
strength the combined sup
porters of johnson, Syming-
ton and Stevenson. If this is
not possible, then his prob
lem will be to scare the rad
icalS and ultra liberals in the
Stevenson and Humphrey
camps into supporting Ken
nedy lest the nomination
should go either to johnson
or to Symington-but more
particularly to Johnson.
Ticklish Game
At the same time, the
Stevenson and Symington
people will be jockeying to
deadlock the convention in
the hope that Kennedy and
johnson will kill each other
off, leaving the prize to
Stevenson or Symington. 1t is
a ticklish game. Kennedy
with the biggest block of
delegates, and the probability
of picking up large segments
of the big California and
Pennsylvania delegations al
most Immediately, occupies a
position Of strength so great
it will be difficult to dislodge
him.
Senator johnson has given
his proofs Of leadership. For
six years he has been major
ity leader Of the Senate, with
a record of accomplishment
rarely equaled on Capitol
Hill. He has given his proofs
as a strong party leader and
as a patriotic American. If
he is nominated he will make
his party's strongest candi-
date. If he is elected, he will
make one Of the country's
strongest Presidents.

it is not below the dignity
of our Commander and Chief
to accept the responsibility.
We are fooling no one in
cluding the Russians by stat
ing otherwise. We must ac-
cept the fact that frank di-
plomacy is hard but good.
What has the Senator's
striped : trousers and gloves
diplomacy prevented in the
last so years?
