Easily Controlled
Foundation Plants
BY GEORGE E. CREED
Contributing Writer

Evergreens, particu-
larly the slow-growing varie-
ties, are justifiably popular
for use in foundation plant
ing.
This is so because they Go
not quickly outgrow their To-
cations and may be kept un-
DER control by minimum
shearing. For example, there
are very desirable evergreenS
that reach mature height of
10 to II feet that may be
held to I or 5 feet with
only annual Shearing.
OF the broadleaf sorts, the
evergreen azaleas and rhodo-
dendrons have many unusual
qualities. They have excel
lent foliage and from the
many varieties of each that
are available you can take
your choice of an unbeliev-
able range of flower COL
ors. BY careful selection you
can also have a considerable
succession Of bloom.
One rhododendron to avoid
Is the RoSebay. This one
grows very large and, while
its flowers are magnifi-
cent, its leaves are too large
for foundation planting

SMBA Indorses
Housing Message

The Suburban Maryland
Builders Association went on
record yesterday favoring the
attitude and intent" of
President Kennedy's Housing
Message to Congress.
Stressed by Ralph Ochs-
man, SMBA president, was
the organizations approval Of
Mr.. Kennedy's request for
establishment of a depart
ment of housing and urban
affairs. He also lauded that
phase of the message deal
ing with aid to suburban
communities. He said he felt
a program which would en-
able them to cope with plan
ming and zoning problems
would help prevent "haphaz-

a balanced community
growth"
A second point raised by
Mr.. Ochsman dealt with the
need for an adequate means
of financing land develop
ment. The lack Of such a
program. he asserted, in
creases the cost of land and
of houses and puts pressure
on possible misuse Of exist
ing developed land.
A program including these
two factors. plus no-down
payment, 4O-year mortgage,
would help builders produce
lower cost houses in the sub
urban areas, the SMBA
spokesman said.

Paint Labels

Latex paints, the water

Dropping Leucothoe.
Mony HoIIies Of Use
The broadleaf group also
includes the many varieties
of Japanese hollies. These
evergreens have interesting,
rich, green foliage the year
round. The japanese hollieS
produce no flowers of sig
nificance, but are used
mainly for their foliage. They
range in height from a foot
and a half to 10 feet. The
taller varieties are easily kept
under control by annual
Shearing.
Among the needle-type
plants, the yews, because of
their fine foliage and rela-
lively slow growth, are prob
ably most popular for foun-
dation planting. Another
advantage in using yewS is
that they come in all sorts
of shapes and reach varying
sizes. They also are easily
controlled by annual or semi
annual shearing.

hired by colleges not because
they can teach, but because
they can bring O Federal re-
search grant with them. Teach
ing becomes secondary. Men
are even brought in to become
deans and administrators be-
cause Of their grants. The
dean Of an education school in
New York was brought into the
university with q substantial
grant-he is a part-time dean,
q full-time research worker.
Certain areas within the uni
versity get top-heavy-they are
able to bring in Federal grants.
This is particularly true in such
fields as psychology. the physi-
cal sciences and technical sub
jectS. The liberal arts and
humanities suffer as a conse-
Quence.
The time has come, in my
opinion, to develop long-range
policies. Federal aid to higher
education is worthwhile; but
this aid should be given ac-
cording to well planned pro-
grams.
The Federal Government is
in the education business to
stay. The least it can do Is
to see that the money is utilized
to best advantage.

Other members Of the syndi-
cate named by Mr.. Salkeld are:

Not RIA Approved
The syndicate has not been
officially designated by the RIA
as developers Of the Columbia
Plaza site. But the group, &C.
cording to Mr.. Salkeld, owns
80 percent Of the land. John r.
SearleS, jr., executive director
Of the RIA, said his agency has
agreed to let the Salkeld syn
dicate develop the site, al
though no formal legal commit
ments have been made.
Mr.. Salkeld said developing
Columbia Plaza without the
write-down on the land throws
an entirely different light on
the venture" He said he was
anxious to do whatever urban
renewal officials deem proper
but would have to review the
whole project If it was going
to cost SIS million more than
the syndicate figured.
The hearing tomorrow is on
the general development plan
for the Foggy Bottom area.
The National Capital Planning
Commission will cite the advan-
tage in putting a luxurious
complex Of town houses and

He noted that there long has
been contention about spend
ing public money on the luxury
apartment development pro-
posed for the eight acres
bounded by Virginia avenue,
E, G and Twenty-third streets
NV.
The idea to develop the area
as a non-asisted urban renewal
project. rather than give the
developers a ite-down on the
land. promises to plunge the
whole issue deeper into con-
troversy.
Under the non-asisted urban
renewal procedure, the Rede-
velopment Land Agency would
assemble the land in Foggy
Bottom by condemining prop
erty of those who refused to
sell. But the developers would
have to pay for this legal ex-
pense, the cost Of razing, exist
ing houses already on the land
and the land itself.
Ordinarily, the Federal and
city governments under the
urban renewal procedure make
up the difference between the
cost Of buying and clearing the
land and the price the develop
er pays for it.
This difference or loss. on
the Columbia Plaza project Is
estimated to be SIS million
with the District obligated to
make up one-third, or $780,
900.
With the District so hard
pressed for funds, the idea OF
carrying out the Columbmis
Plaza project as q non-aSsisted
one will have lots Of appeal
among city officials and law
makers riding herd on the
budget on Capitol Hill.

A score of governmental
agencies, commissions and au-
thorities have their fingers in
the educational pie. They are
stepping on each others toes
and duplicating efforts. Some
college presidents are ready to
throw up their hands In diSmay
at the increasing amount Of
red tape. Many have created
special departments with huge
staffs to handle the gifts from
Washington.
"A study Of the aid programs
presents q muddled, confused
picture. And it is costly to the
colleges and to the taxpayer.
Bureaucratic Chaos Seen
Plainly, what is needed is Q
clear policy set by either Con-
gress or the President. In
graduate education alone, for
example, there are six different
fellowship programs. each oper-
ated by q different Federal
agency At present 5000 stu
dents are being financed
through these programs at an
annual cost of $35, 900. 900. This
amounts4p something less than
$4,000 fol each student.
The situation was brought
into the open recently by DR..
Herbert B. Longenecker, presi-
dent Of Tulane University.
Speaking at the annual lunch
eon-forlim Of the Tuition Plan
in New York City, he asked
that the bureaucratic chaos be
eliminated. AS a first step, he
called for an advisory commits
sion to streamline the numer-
Gus = agencies that now deal
with the colleges.
This is not intended as q
sweeping indictment Of exist
ing Federal support for higher
education. The millions Of
dollars that go for research,
for agricultural extension. for
experimentation and for hun
dreds Of college projects serve
q useful purpose. However. too
often, political expediency and
compromise can be found in
the Federal grants.
A host Of programs are sup
ported by government agencies.
These range from direct grants
in support Of research to the
construction Of college dormi-
tories.
Grants Bring Confusion

search grants, from such agen-
