Public Affairs Post:
Monning's Prospects
By JAMES w. CANAAN
Contributing WHter

Robert Joseph Manning, a Jour-
halist since boyhood, is taking on
his toughest assignment in a hot,
Unfamiliar seat outside the Fourth
Estate.
Mr.. Manning will be sworn in
his week as the new Assistant
Secretary of State for Public At
Iairs, a post that pays $4,000 a
Tear. He has been working at it,
actually, for more than a month.
His job: Keep the news media
Ind the citizenry fully informed
IF the State Departments COM
plex, sometimes ticklish policies
Ind actions, yet never let the news
low so freely that it compro-
niSeS the country abroad.
Mr.. Manning, AZ, has had an
lctive career in journalism. He
'orsook college to catch on as a
Newspaper copy boy in his native
Binghamton, N. Y, 26 years ago.
He has worked for both major
wire services, as a senior editor
Ind London bureau chief for Time
magazine, and most recently as
Sunday editor of the New York
Herald Tribune.
Kos Niemon Fellow
His only formal education be-
fond high school was contained
n a mid-fortieS year at Harvard
University, as a Nieman Fellow
n journalism.
The new assistant secretary ac-
tnowledges the potential touchi-
less of his new task. Speaking
n his precise. softly intense way,
he had this to say about it:
1T is becoming increasingly diff
icult to find ways of fulfilling
oreign policy and keeping the
Iublic informed. Every move the
state Department makes must be
Measured not only in terms of

The Old Order Gives Way

While economic, educational and
cultural standards in the Appa-
lachians are still far below the ma
tional level, the survey shows that
significant progress has been made
during the last three decades.

Making Chonees Happen


Recognizing that people can
either stand back and let such
changes happen as they will, or
under responsible leaders they
can stride forward to make
changes happen" the contribu-
tors to the survey call for drastic.
and if necessary, painful, action to
erase the Appalachian problem
from the American scene They
concur that the situation in our
Southeastern highlands repre-
Sents "a social crime. an economic
abSurdity and political menace"
The guiding principle for re-
vitaliZation of the Appalachian
area, as set forth in the survey.
is realistic development of both
natural and human resources. In
naturalization must be confined
to the Sub-areas which lend them
selves profitably to it; in other
localities, population must be re-
duced in line with resources. But
the Appalachian people, whether
they remain in the region of leave
it, should be provided with op-
portunities for developing their
social and economic potential.
This concept of the problem as
one involving both human and
natural resources skaters the
validity of many previously pro-
posed solutions. Findings of the
survey. for example, indicate the
following: Public assistance. in
some instances, contributes more
toward perpetuating culture of
poverty" than toward rehabilita-
ton; vocational training in agri-
culture is of dubious value since
too many people are already en-
gagged in subsistence farming:
metropolitan rather than rural
areas offer the best hope for in
dustrial development; vocational
training is ineffective unless the

education: touriSm and handi-

A Thirty-Ieor Limit
The authors suggest a 30-year
statute of limitations" on solv-
ing the Appalachian problem. In
their opinion, 4" failure of the
richest Nation in the world to
eliminate or alleviate the regions
poverty within three decades tis)
not likely to be overlooked by
those underdeveloped nations Of
the world seeking to solve their
own problems of poverty under
conditions far less advantageous"
The survey concludes that "if
the Nation is organized and pre-
pared to furnish the cooperation
the people and communities Of
the region need, they are pre-
pared to share the national des-
tiny, for better Of for worse"

cies in Geneva, felt he could not
function to the full satisfaction
of his own standards.
Mr. Manning comedies that the
making and executing of foreign
policy in the Cold War is "a proc
ess, which, by its very nature,
must at times be done quietly"
In such sticky situations, he
said, the public must trust in the
good judgment not only of the
State Department but the press
as well.
Getting information to the
people is just as much a problem
for the press as it is for the Gov
ernment," he said. Every news
paperman knows more than he
feels free to print. It's a matter
of judgment"
The problem of drawing the
line is so complicated, in his opin-
ion, that "the course of my Of
flee can't be thoroughly charted.
Decisions must be made day by
day."
The Right to Know
Even so. he said, You just
can't get away from the public's
right to know. I believe that
there can't be anything more than
the most temporary suspension of
information.
1--WE must try to develop and
keep public confidence in poll
cies which are. when you get right
down to it, carried out for the
benefit of the public. We must
try to make the public understand
and believe in the State Depart
ment'S policies"

Nevertheless, two out of three res
idents in the region were classed
as rural according to the 1860
census.
Furthermore, the survey points
up serious problems inherent in
! the metamorphosis that is taking
place. Mechanization of the coal
mines and consequent drastic cuts
in the labor force have added to
widespread unemployment. Dis
placed miners and unSkilled agri-
cultural workers many of whom
are either too poorly educated or
too old for vocational retraining
are not easily absorbed in the
economic and social structures of
the cities to which they are mi
grating. The authors thus believe
that employment conditions may
get worse before they get better.

A People in Transition

The Appalachian people are be-

that many still cling to the values

Sucking Insects

Insect pests are showing up
In large numbers, especially the
sucking insects which normally
are reduced in numbers by hard
showers. They are normally
hard to control with sprays or
dusts since the materials here
tofore available killed only the
adults. And many Of these tiny
sucking insects spend their lives
on the undersides of the leaves.
The new material, dimethoate,
is most effective and, when an
adequate supply becomes avail
able. may be used. In the
meantime most gardeners will
depend upon malathion. How
ever, it takes three applica-
tions Of malathion, or similar
materials, applied at weekly in
tervals to kill all Of them. Every
effort should be made to apply
the spray to the undersides Of
the leaves,

Fall Boomers

Continue the planting of
chrysanthemums and other fall
boomers. They need division
and a well prepared bed if they
are to put on the display of
which they are capable. COM
post is the preferred material
to mix into the soil, but lack
ing it use plenty Of peatmoss.
Humus and plant food, such as
the dried COW manure are
needed to keep these plants
growing during the heat Of the
summer if they are to make a
showing. Mulching is also i'm
portant, not only to prevent
disease and nematodes from
reaching the foliage, but also
to protect the shallow-growing
roots systems during the heat
OF the summer. Peanut hulls,
partially-rooted compost, pine
needles. leafmold, sawdust, and
other materials are effective
although both the peatmoss
and the sawdust must be
watched to break up crusts If
they form.

Empress Tree Does
Well in D. c. Lawns

Gardens near Kennett Square,
Pennsylvania, is planted with
the empress tree. They do not
appear to be too open for good
shade. Certainly the height
normally expected in this area
is not too great for use. The
taprooted root system makes
them desirable in the smaller
yards.
However, they do have large
seed pods which hang on into
the winter. Also, the leaves are
large although not so abundant
as to be a nuisance. They do
seed freely and seedlings may
appear in untended areas.
The empress tree, because of
its taproot should be moved
only in the early spring, pref
erably only the smaller-sized
trees. However, because Of their
very rapid growth when young
this is no disadvantage.

The empress tree has put on
an unusually fine display this
spring. Those who have driven
along U. s. $40 near Harpers
Ferry have been amazed at the
many that were in bloom along
the highway. Here in the
washington area there are
many fine specimens whose
lavish display of white to vio-
let, gloxinia-like flowers be-
fore the leaves appear cause
much comment each spring.
The empress tree (Paulownia

nally from China, it has thrived

the Ailanthus, because it is
deep rooted and does not

Moreover, the empress tree,
which grows to a height of
40 to so feet, is round headed
and thus makes a good lawn

loamy soil, preferably of good
depth.

and range from 5 to 10 inches
long. Young shoots often pro-
duce leaves 20 inches long.
They appear in pairs (oppo-
site), and when young have a
tropical appearance. The leaves
are usually hairy beneath.
The flowers are borne in foot
high terminal panicles in the
spring before the leaves appear.
The large gloxinia-like flowers
vary from white to violet in
color and make a most notice
able display in the spring.
The trees are considered by
some to be too open for best ap-
pearance, although one of the

Warning

Avoid using pesticides with
sulphur when temperatures are
above IS degrees. At 90 de-
grees a sulphur dust will de-
foliate a rose bush. If other
sprays or dusts are not avail
able make the application in

ture has dropped and use them

points help to avoid a mist
that might drift to other foli-

to cover good plants with a box
or bag before applying the

Repot Plants?

Move the house plants into
a protected area in the garden
where they may be watered and
cared for as needed. If repot-
ting is needed now is the time
to do it rather than in the early
fall just before the plants are
to be brought indoors.

Rose Care

The maintenance of an effec-
tive protective coating on rose
foliage is essential If blackspot
is to be prevented. Once in the
leaf there is nothing that will
curb the disease. hence efforts
should be directed towards
keeping a protective coating of
spray or dust on the foliage.

Avoid Root Burn

Fertilizing during these
drought periods is likely to re-
suit in injury if the plant food
Is spread on dry soil. Always
