You Can Create
Beauty
With Flowers
Inspiration From Great Smokes
by MRS. HERBERT Il. GREECE

Some years ago I tasted one
Of the worlds most delicious
honeys at an old inn way up
in the Great Smokes. I asked
what kind Of bee or flowers
had produced this extraordi-
nary flavor. and I was told
that it came from the blossoms
Of sour wood or Sorrel tree via
the common honeybee.
When ! first saw this beau
tiful native tree I was thrilled
by its brilliant scarlet leaves
and the dropping. one-sided
seed clusters. Here was a ma
tive, small. ornamental tree
which combined many virtues
to make 1t desirable in a gar
den. To boot, it has q most
musical name, oxydendrum
arboreum. simply delightful to
my ears. It literally means
easour tree" because the clip
tical leaves have a decided acid
taste.
I soon found it in the local
nursery and / was surprised to
learn that it is a first cousin
Of our trailing arbutus, rhodo-
dendron and azalea and there
fore asks for similar growing
conditions and an acid soil.
My choice for an arrange
ment streSsing rich fall color
falls quite naturally to the
oxydendrum. Just two beauti-
full branches, preferably with
some seed clusters. are all I
need to have the arrangement
all but finished. 1t is Of course
Necessary that I provide an
adequate container since the
leaves are q good size and
the branches demand space.
y The container which I have
used is not especially large in
size, but it appears to be-and
N-very heavy for it is made
Of iron. Its color is a brownish
black which also adds visual
weight as does its uncompro-
missing square shape.
A cautiously trimmed main
branch rises vertically upward
on the right side of the con-
tainer while its companion set

to the disarmament post in
1855.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat
of Minnesota, said yesterday in
the Senate that a COM
.prehensive treaty with Russia
banning nuclear tests may be
in sight.
Senator Humphrey. chairman
Iof the Senate's Disarmament
Subcommittee, said two STUN
bling blocks remain in the way
of agreement. He listed these
as the number of on-site in
spections and how all tests can
be banned when small ones are
difficult to distinguish from
earthquakes.
With the Presidents pro-
posal of February II and the
Soviet proposal Of March 1e
the way is paved for the reSOlu-
ton of these two stumbling
blocks" he said.
THE Soviet Union must be
willing to accept about 20 in
spections a year. And the
United States must be willing
to accept a moratorium on
small underground tests for a
designated period pending the
outcome of the research pro-
gram. This, I say, is the man.
ner in which the test ban dead
lock can be broken.
MY conclusion is that a
comprehensive treaty is in
sight. The remaining differ
ences can be solved. :"

The moratorium offer. Mr.

significant move since the Rus
sian concession in June, 1857,
When they agreed to accept in

chance now than any time
since the first atomic bomb
went off" to reach agreement
on testing.
Mr.. StaSSen said the bright

Russia's moratorium proposal
and the impending summit
meeting. He declared these
factors promised to result this
year in "a f1rst-step agreement
with the Russians on nuclear
tests.
1T is so important to get
started on control and inspec-
tion,' he said, that it is worth
making some concession on the

Acceptance Of

Eisenhower, said today the

Russia's proposal for an in

Temporarily, so the world can

Mr.. Stassen said in a tele-
phone interview that the mora
torium "is a reasonable price
to pay to get what is a big
gain" in the search for a way
to disarm.
The Russians have suggested
that the East and West enter
into a treaty which would ban
all big nuclear tests, above and
below ground, with a COM
