Paving Plan Dropped
Originally, there was an in
tention to pave it. But, after
a bid Of $4,000 came in for
that work. the paving was not
authorized.
The two parking lots have a
total area Of about two acres,
enough for 215 cars.
For more than 70 years,
until the parking lots came,
lawn and trees extended east
ward from the Senate side Of
the Capitol Plaza in unbroken
flow to First street, as they still
do on the House side.
When the parking lots are
removed, the Architect of the
Capitol will be able to restore
the grounds in line with the
original Olmsted landscaping
plan.
Mr.. Olmsted not only desig-
mated landscaping Of the
grounds, but also the Capitol
Plaza, adjacent to the East
Front; the walks; the terraces
on the north, south and west
sides, and the grand stairways
on the west side.
Now there's a new master
plan" for re-landscaping that
would remove all parking on
the plaza. But it hinges on con-
struction Of a four-level park
ing garage beneath the plaza,
and this has not yet been au-
thorized.
Until that goes ahead, the
Olmsted plan is to prevail.

grounds" Senator Mansfield

Mansfield to Act
Senate Majority Leader
| Mansfield took note Of the sit
uation last night. He made q
statement in no uncertain
terms.
Were going to look into
this matter without further
delay" he said. 1.-The appear
ance of things over here is a
disgrace"
The Montana Democrat is
chairman Of the Senate Rules
Committee, which has control
over the Senate side Of the
Capitol.
Speaker Sam Rayburn is boss
of the grounds on the House
side.
Senator Mansfield didn't
mention it, but there's quite a
contrast in appearance between
the two areas. The House
grounds are uninterruptedly
green and impeccable.
"Mr. Sam" is known to be
a stickler for keeping his side
of the grounds in tip-top condi-
ton. On the other hand, he
never had quite the problem
the Senate did as a result OF
the East Front project.
The two adjoining parking
lots on the Senate side came
about this way:

It is more on a violet tone, and
its bloom ranges in color from

that they would require "spe-

The flowers would probably

They will probably be

White House Denies Shrubbery
Will Cut Off PubIic's View

A story in The Star today
that the White House planned
to put a shrubbery screen along
its south fence brought an of
ficial denial.
Press Secretary Pierre Salin-
ger branded as "preposterouS"
the report that the White House
was shopping for big rhodo-
dendrons for planting to keep
curious pasSerS-by from seeing
President Kennedy's 3-year-old
daughter Caroline at play.
Mr.. Salinger said that all
that was being done was to
order "a few shrubs" He did
not say where they would be
planted
Labar's Nursery at StroudS-
burg, Pa, had confirmed ear
lier that it had been asked to
bid on supplying 226 rhodo-
dendron plants from four to
six feet high by the National
Park Service for the White
House.
The reports were that the
rhododendrons would be plant
ed inside the iron fence around
the south grounds of the White
House, and that their spread
would screen off about one
fourth of a mile Of the grounds
from public gaze. Mr.. Salinger
was asked about the story be-
fore it appeared in print. At
that time he termed the query
silly" said he knew nothing
about it and would not inquire
about 1t.
Later, after seeing the story
in print, he said it seemed silly
and preposterous to him that
anyone would think it would
be possible to plant shrubbery
to screen the grounds from
public gaze.
He added that the story was
inaccurate and that there was
mo intention Of attemting such
a thing.
It is understood the shrub
berry order was directed by Mrs.
John F. Kennedy. The First
Lady is repeatedly worried
about the numbers of curious
onlokers who watch 3-year-old
Caroline at play in the back
grounds through the wrought
iron fence.

The new policy does not
