HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Davis Takes Office
As High Court Clerk

John F. Davis, the new clerk
of the Supreme Court, is a do
it-yourself enthusiast.
He's so expert at things me-
chancial that he was not above
turning his hand to a malfunc-
tioning typewriter or mimeo-
graph machine as second as
sistant solicitor general.
That's not the sole reason
he'll be missed around the JUS
tice Department. He partici-
pated in some Of the Govern
ment's most complicated cases
and always produced a few
grins with his ironic Sence of
humor.
As the Governments repre-
sentative in arguing more than
so cases before the Supreme
Court, he used understatement
rather than exaggeration;
courtesy toward his adverSarieS
rather than bombaSt.
He missed the opening of
the Supreme Courts fall term
this year. He was travelling
in Europe when his appoint
ment to the $21 ,500-a-year post
as clerk was announced. But
today he took over as the l4th
clerk in the courts history, sue
ceeding James r. Browning, re-
Gently appointed a Federal ap-
pellate judge.
Harvard Graduate
Mr.. Davis, 81. has spent most
Of his legal career in the Gov
eminent since he was gradu-
ated from Harvard Law School
in 1888. The only exceptions
were two years in the Coast
Guard during World War II
and four years in private prac-
tice here.
He had been with the So
licitor Generals office since
1850. He argued both the du-
Pont caseS-the first to force
dupont to diveSt itself Of Cen
eral Motors stock and the Sec
ond to require complete divesti-
ture. He won both for the
Government.
He argued an important case

too.
Gardener, Carpenter
Away from the office he
spends most Of his time work
ing around his large old house
and its extensive grounds. He
does his own gardening as well
as carpentry.
A Supreme Court argument
once had to be postponed when
he was temporarily incapaci-
tated by a tree bough having
fallen on him.

To QuoLity and Type

uals. those June boomers that
were the mainStay of many
rose gardens q few decades
ago, but which are for the most
part gone from the Washing

the same manner. BY the way,
a number Of gardeners do have

Karl Druschki (the perfect
white rose except that 1t has
no fragrance).
Cluster.FlOwered Types
The next major classes, they
can be discussed as one, are
the floribundas and poly
anthas. They are the cluster
flowered, disease free, bush
roses that put on such a fine
show the summer through. The
polyanthas are less widely
grown than the more recently
developed floribundas. Never
theless they take little prun-
ing other than the removal OF
all dead wood, a general shap-
ing Of the bush and the
removal Of unproductive termi-
nal growtl1s from last seasons
bloom. It is seldom desirable OF
necessary to shorten the canes,
or even to thin the canes. Some
will take out the weaker ones,
especially on such varieties as
Fashion. Vogue, Cocorico, etc.
These newer varieties tend to
be less cluster flowered than
the earlier ones and hence come
nearer requiring q hybrid-tes
type Of pruning.
Put Coating Over Cuts
When the pruning Of these
bushes has been completed it
is desirable to treat all major
cuts with q coating Of some
material that will prevent the
entry of the "cane borer" or
as it Is sometimes called, the
sawfly. These critters bore
down into the stem and
weaken the growth, often
carrying disease into the canes
Any type of material that will
turn them may be used
asbestos cement. treedreSSing,
shellac, etc.

The snow and inclement
weather may affect the gar
dener in various ways but it does
not change the fact that March
Is the season for overhauling
rose bushes and getting them
in shape for another season.
The pruning Of roses is to some
a mystery, to others q ritual.
There is a third group and I
hope you belong to it-that
prunes roses to insure good
quality bloom and of the type
desired.
All rose bushes need some
kind Of care, even those
species which in most cases,
need only the removal Of dead
wood.
The hybrid teas. grandifloras.
polyanthas, floribundas an d
climbers, If they are to be at
tractive and productive should
be included in an annual ]
pruning program.
Hybrid Tea Roses
The hybrid teas, those up
standing bushes that produce
the flowers that are so suit
able for cutting, are the
number one type in most gar
dens. Undoubtedly, they can be
the simplest to prune because
the first step is to remove all
dead wood; secondly remove all
weak, wiry growth that could
not support a decent bloom.
The third step. to shorten the
remaining canes, should be
modified to suit the needs Of
the gardener.
If he wants q few roses with
long stems and large buds, then
he will shorten all canes dras-
tically.
II a mass Of bloom is the
desired goal, then the stems
are only barely cut back.
Most people will have a goal
somewhere between and will
cut back from q third to two
thirds. This will produce q sub
stantial number of blooms
with moderately long stems.
Cane Infection Present
There is one slight cloud on
the horizon Of this picture.
Namely, that the blackspot
disease winters-over on the
canes. II we were to prune
severely and then douse the
bushes with q good dose of
lime sulphur we could ma
terially reduce the infection,
perhaps eliminate it for the
major portion Of the summer.
Years ago when we regularly
cut hybrid = tea rose bushes
almost to the ground we often
escaped blackspot until well
along in the summer. Lately,
as we followed the modern
trend in pruning, we have had
more trouble checking the
blackspot. If it is very bad in
the garden it may pay to prune
more severely than otherwise.
That is the big question-to
prune for bush vigor or for q
reduction in blackspot?
GrandifIOra Pruning
The pruning Of the newest
class of roses, the grandifloras
is essentially the same as for
the hybrid teas. And 1t might
well be added here that the
pruning Of tea roses, should
there be any in the area is the
same. Also, the hybrid perpet-

Talk Of Rise
In Steel Price
BY LEE M. COIN
Star staff Writer

The Kennedy administration
is quietly and skeptically-ex-
amining claims by leading steel
executives that the industry
needs higher prices to maintain
adequate profits.
Officials are gathering data
on the industry's economic sit
uation in the expectation that
President Kennedy will ask for
it when the time comes for him
to decide whether to exert pres
sure against price rises.
Preparing the Way"
Industry leaders at a New
York meeting last week were
quoted as complaining about a
squeeze" on profits. They said
the problem will be intensified
next fall, when deferred wage
increases are scheduled to take
effect. This talk is interpreted
in the administration as a cam
paign to prepare the way for
price increases.
There are some high Govern
ment officials who doubt the
need for such increases. They
observe. for one thing, that
steel companies continued to
make profits during the recess
sion, despite the drastic decline
in production and sales. If the
companies can make substan-
tial profits while producing at
half capacity or less, they rea-

each method of transportation
uses up much Of its substance
in an attempt to gain volume
in its own mode-Subjecting
itself to ruinous competition
from unregulated carriers of
all modes.
Speaking before a meeting of
the National Press Club, Mr..
Perlman asserted, "Nationl de-
fense requires healthy common
carriers.
If prompt action is taken to
"modernize our archaic trans
portation policy" Mr.. Perlman
sees the Nations railroads Of
1870 offering the following
modernized facilities:
/. Integrated transportation
so a businessman might buy
any combination Of rail, air,
highway or water transporta-
ton, depending on the speed
and cost he wants.
2. New lightweight metal
freight containers which would
be Interchangeable with every
mode of transport.
3. Fully automated trains
running under electronic con-
trolls. Express trains would de-
liver goods from coast-to-coast
in three days.
4. Fast, streamlined COM
muter trains providing low
cost service to metropolitan
stations, where passengers
would be famed out by bus
and subway.

PerImon Suggests TX
For Dying Transport

The energetic president OF
the Nations second largest rail-
road foresees a slow death for
the transportation industry
which, If not prevented, eventu-
ally could undermine the coun-
try's national defense.
Alfred E. Perlman, named
president Of the New York
Central in 1854 after a bitter
proxy fight won by the late
Robert r. Young, declared yes
terday that Americas trans
portation system is devouring
itself "in a futile struggle to
remain alive"
Despite "the greatest tech
nical breakthrough in trans
portation that this country has
ever known" he said all modes
Of common carriage - rail,
highway, water and air-are in
precarious financial condition
or at best are earning mar
ginal profits which are totally
insufficient for continuing sur
vival and progress.
The trouble, Mr.. Perlman be-
lieveS. is "a strange policy"
which restricts each mode Of
transportation to its own
"monopolistic pattern. AS an
example, he pointed out that
railroads are given monopolies
on rail transportation, and with
very minor exceptions cannot
own or operate a common car
rier by air, water or highway.
The result, he said, is that
