President Kennedy hopes to
reach quick agreement with
West German Chancellor AIDE
nauer later this month on is
sues which the Western powers
may negotiate with Russia in
the search for a peaceful solu-
ton to the Berlin crisis.
The White House announced
yesterday that Mr.. Adenauer
will visit Washington November
20-21 for talks with the Presi-
dent, on Berlin problems and
"other matters of common in
terest."
If the United StateS-We
German summit discussions are
successful, they will be followed
by efforts to reach detailed
agreements among the Western
powers on a Berlin negotiating
position.
In this prospective second
stage, the Presidents task will
be to try to win an accord with
French President de Gaulle,

aimed at finding a peaceful So
luton while preserving the
basic rights of the Western
powers with respect to West
Berlin and assuring the basic
freedom Of the West Berliners.
Mr.. Adenauer obviously
wants first-hand information
from Mr.. Kennedy on what
the United States does con-
slider negotiable and wants to
tell the President what the
Chancellor himself does not
consider negotiable.
Their discussions are ex-
pected to include such issues
as whether the Western powers
should accept the existence of
a Communist regime in East
Germany, though without any
kind of formal recognition;
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-11-08

French forces must be main
tanned in West Berlin, that the
access routes across Commu-
mist East Germany must be kept
open and that the people Of
West Berlin must be assured
Of economic and political ar
rangementS to protect not only
their freedom but their eco
nomic well-being.
Mr.. Adenauer last visited
Washington in April before the
current phase of the Berlin
crisis developed. At that time
Mr.. Kennedy and he agreed
that NATO should defend the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-11-08

whether they should recognize
in any diplomatic way the
Oder Niesse boundary between
German and Polish territory;
what guarantees would be
necessary to assure Western
access to West Berlin, and
what if any measures other
wise might be taken or rejected
which would have the effect
of reducing East West tensions
centered on Berlin.
The basic United States po-
sition on which there is no dis
agreement among the allies is

They also pledged to preserve
West Berlin's freedom pending

On those basic elements Of
Western policy there is also no
discord among the Western
allies.

BY BILL YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

When roots, space and other
factors preclude long season
bloom in the shady garden, it
is well to consider the fancy
leaved caladiums. These tu-
berouS plants with large, beau
tifully colored leaves add color
to the darker situations, and
if pot-grown can be changed
about to serve many purposes,
The caladiums are gross
feeders and being from the
tropics like it hot and moist.
Thus the Washington gardener
might well use them in pots or
beds, anywhere that moisture
can be supplied, and, of course,
an occasional feeding is
needed for vigor as well as for
the color. A starved plant lacks
color as we'll as vigor.
Culture Suggestions
The tubers may well be
started in a flat of peatmoss,
preferably coarSer than that

which comes from bales. To
meet this problem one might
obtain sphagnum moss and
chop it up with a heavy knife
or hatchet.
Cover the tubers an inch
deep, keep moist and in a
Temperature of rs to IS degrees.
When we'll rooted the tubers
should be lifted and potted in
a soil mixture of equal parts
of sand, loan and leafmold.
A three-inch pot is the usual
starting size, but they will soon
become pot bound and require
shifting to the next larger sized
pot.
This continues during the
growing season unless the
plant is removed and set out
in a bed. However, many will
find it easier to keep them in
pots not only as a means of
keeping them well fed and
watered in areas infested with
tree roots, but also, so that
they may be shifted about as
the leaves grow in size.
The latter stages of pot cul-
ture might we'll be made using
a soil mixture Of l part sharp
sand, 2 parts garden loan,
part leafmold or compost and
y part dried COW manure.
Some will also include a bit of
bone meal. Although it is too
slow acting for short time use
it does supply calcium.
Buy Good Stock
There is much confusion in
the naming of caladium forms,
hence it is advisable to buy
the corms from reputable deal
ers. Mainly they are derivatives
of two or three species-C. BIZ
color and C. picturatum. The
former has oval shaped leaves
with brilliant colorS above. The
undersides of the leaves are
bluiSh-green or metallic col
ored. The leafStalks are quite
long, compared to those strains
derived from. c. picturatum.
The leaves of c. picturatum are
more or less lance-shaped. The
bright colors appear on the un-
dersides but are much paler
than on the upper surface. The
stems Qeaf-stalks) are much
shorter.
Normally the corms are left
in the ground after frost has
killed the tops but they might
well be lifted and brought in
doors before the cold weather.
If the corms are in pots they
might well be placed near the
furnace and water withheld
until they are thoroughly dried.
Store in a warm, dry place but
do not let the corms become
bone dry. Peat moss, perlite
and vermiculite are good ma
terialS in which to store the
dormant cormS.
The growing plants should
be fed with a liquid fertilizer
every two weeks during the
growing season. Daily watering
is almost a necessity for top
grade foliage displays.
