taurant is scheduled to be-
gin within 80 days and
should be completed by Feb
ruary. he said.
The project will be erected
on eight and one-half acres
at Duke and South Jordan
streets. across from the Shir-
ley-Duke Apartments. Plans
call for a swimming pool on
the south side and inside
parking on two sub base
ment levels for a limited
number of cars.
The project is the second
step in a plan to bring the
total number of apartment
units in the Shirley Duke
area to more than 5000. Mr..
Gordon said. The original
apartments. constructed IN
l949-50. have 2.ll3 units.
The third step. construction
of about $50 units on ad-
joining property. will begin
after the luxury units are
completed and rented, he
said.
The corporation is also in
the midst of expanding its
shopping center to almost
twice the sent 10000
square feet. he said.
Leases with several chain
stores, including S. H. Kress

SpIoshing Water Adds
To Appeal Of Garden
BY GEORGE {. CREED
Contributing Writer

The sound and sight of
running, splashing water are
psychologically satisfying on
a hot day.
The ancient Persians, Egyp-
tians and Romans all rea-
lized this and used water ex-
tensively in their gardens.
Later. in Spain. the Moors
contrived clever uses for
water in their landscapes.
One such use was to allow
water to run by gravity, often
in open channels fashioned
into pavements. from one
feature of the garden to an
other.
In today's sketch an adap-
tation of this scheme is
shown. Here water drops
from a small. raised pool
next to the house into a
shallow channel formed by
half titles incorporated into
the surface pavement of the
terrace. Running in this
gently sloping conduit, it fl
nally enters a flush pool at
the end Of the terrace from
which it is returned to the
raised pool by means of a
recirculating pump. Such
pumps are small but power
full, and they can either be
submerged in a pool or
Evening star., 1962-08-25

housed unobtrusively at one
side of it.
An installation of this
kind is not too expensive If
made before the terrace is
paved. Water for the system
may be provided from a hose
and replenished as needed. In
the fall the system may be
easily drained.
The cross section in the il
luStration shows a half-tile
cemented into place between
adjacent pavement stones.
The tile should be firmly
bedded on tamped earth in
order to keep it from settling.
The lower sketch shows the
raised pool next to the house
and how a lip may be built
into it to allow the water to
fall from 1t with a pleasant,
splashing sound into the
open tile below.
Questions and Answers
Question: Is it advisable
to leave grass clippings on a
bluegrass lawn after now
ing?
Answer: This depends on
the length and volume of the
clippings. If you NOV your
grass regularly there is no
reason you shouldn't leave
the clippings on the lawn. If
you NOW only infrequently,
rake up the clippings.

Not All Promises

But the President stressed that
not all of the promises the Soviet
leader made in his October q
letter to Mr.. Kennedy had been
carried out and that great prob
lens remain" until they are.
Specifically, he mentioned Mr..
Khrushchev's agreement on on
site inspection by the United Ma
lions inside Cuba so that the re-
moval Of offensive weapons-the
intermediate range ballistic mis-
siles as well as the bombers-
may be verified.
Cuban Dictator Castro has de-
family opposed inspection of his
police state by ANY body. national
or international" He had, how
ever. also opposed giving up the
bombers, first claiming that they
were his and no longer belonged
to the Russians.
Then, on Monday last, he re-
versed himself $50 degrees. Tip
ping off the Khrushchev move of
the next day. he informed U. N.
Secretary General U Thant that
he had no objection to removal
Of what he called 1.-The very old,
very poor speed" IL-28s.
While the United States waits
for q satisfactory ARRANGEMENT
for on-site inspection. Mr.. Ken
nedy asserted that we will pursue
our own means OF checking on
military activities in Cuba" This
suggests, of course. that our photo
reconnaissance planes will con-
tinue their flights over the island.

Limited Scope

To the disappointment of many
civil rights advocates, the Presi-
dents order was not made ap-
plicable to conventional home fl
nancing through banks and saw
1ngS and loan associations whose
deposits are federally insured.
Still open to question is whether
the order will apply to individual
transactions involving homes car
rying FHA-insured loans.
Administration aides said the
order was limited so that it could
become effective Immediately.
Some areas involving home fl
nancing are clouded legally and for
this reason, 1t was said, the ad-
ministration wanted more rulings
by the courts before expanding the
decree.
Some Of those who advocated
q broader order feared that the
limited scope of the administra-
tons decree would result in a
shift to conventional financing.
But Federal officials discounted
any substantial move in this d.
rection. .'z
The Presidents order was
viewed by his aides as a signifi-
cant first step toward ending dis
elimination. Locally, it is expected
to bring action on a District
anti-discrimination regulation on
which hearing has been sched-
uled Friday.

A School Case

Should the school desegrega-
ton formula of AL deliberate
speed" be applied to the desegre-
cation of parks, Fairgrounds and
other public facilities?
Last week the Supreme Court
agreed to rule on this question.
In an action that could have far
reaching application in many
Southern cities the court took
jurisdiction of a case involving
Memphis, Tenn, and its plan for
the gradual removal Of racial bar
riers In its recreation areas.
The case arose in 1860. when
a group Of Negroes petitioned Fed
eral Judge Marion Boyd to order
Memphis officials to end segrega-
ton at once in the city's recrea-
tional facilities.
Memphis officials, opposing the
request, commended that immedi-
ate desegregation. if ordered. would
require the closing of many play
grounds. Claiming that there was
a higher incidence of violence in
facilities used by Negroes, Men,
phis officials said many more SUI
pervisors would be required when
the recreational areas became de-
segregated.
Judge Boyd held that Memphis
could follow the formula of AL
deliberate speed" He was sus-

Action ON civil rights matters
made news on several fronts last
week, including housing, use of
public recreatiOnaI facilities,
voting and schools.
During the 1860 presidential
campaign John F. Kennedy took
President Eisenhower to task for
not banning racial Discrimination
In housing built or bought with
the assistance of Federal funds.
He said such discrimination could
be ended with the stroke of a
pen"
Last week, % months after en-
tering the White House, President
Kennedy announced at his press
conference that he had finally got
around to that stroke of the pen.
He signed an executive decree, eff
fective Immediately, which moved
toward banning housing discrim-
ination but which fell short of
the hopes of strong civil rights
proponents. -. t
The Presidents order covering
about rs per cent of new hous-
ing starts in the Nation included
housing built under loans or
mortgages insured by the Federal
Housing Agency and the Veterans
Administration. 1t also includes
low-rent public housing and hous-
ing in urban renewal projects
subsidized by the Federal Govern
ment and housing built with Fed
eral loans such as homes for the
elderly, community facilities and
college dormitories.

India:
Long War

The Red Chinese ordered a
cease-fire along the border
with India last week and prom
ised to pull hack their troops in
a bid to win New Delhi's accept
ance Of Peking's plan for new
boundary. Nehru, adopting a
"wait-and-see" policy, warned
his people of a long war.
In the early days of World War
II, Churchill told the British
people that he could not forecast
the action of Communist Russia.

mystery inside an enigma" he

Troop Transfer

In addition to assessing midas
needs. the American group will
probably take up the question of
the transfer of Indian troops
reputedly the best in her army
from the Pakistan border to the
fighting fronts.
India and Pakistan regard each
other as enemies and neither
trusts the other. But Pakistan
has pledged that it would not
invade India or the disputed
Kashmir province while India
was engaged in defending itself
against China. India, for its
part, has pledged not to use the
new weapons being shipped from
the United States and British
Commonwealth countries against
Pakistan.
The United States, which views
the Chinese aggression as threat
ening both countries, has assured
Pakistan it would come to its
aid in the event of an attack by
India. Nevertheless, Mr.. Nehru
has not ordered the troop transfer.
And Pakistan, angry over Ameri-
can arms aid to India, has agreed
to talks in Peking concerning a
non-aggression pact with Red
China.
The United States earlier this
month airlifted SIS million worth
of infantry weapons and radio
gear to India. Last week, it sent IL
giant C-130 turboprop transport
planes, with crews, to fly supplies

A Pull Back

That was not all. It said 1t
would, on December /, pull back
its forces 12.5 miles beyond the
lines Of actual control which
existed between China and India
on November Z, 1859. The border
conflict between the two Asian
giants has been going on for sew
eral years. rs
Although Prime Minister Nehru
has already rejected a similar
Chinese proposal--made on Octo-
Der 24--because 1t would leave
the Communists In control Of
some strategic territory in midas
Ladakh region, he adopted q
"wait-and-see" attitude toward
the new Picking diplomatic gambit.
There was a general feeling
that there was little else he could
prudently do at this point, with
elements Of the Indian army shat
tered and in disarray after being
overwhelmed by the invaders.
But Mr.. Nehru, who has been
under attack by opposition groups
and even by members Of his own
party for not declaring war on
China. warned his people not to
trust in negotiations for a settle
ment but rather to prepare them
selves for a long fight.

to the forward zones. All this,
of course, would be just trickle
in the event of a full-scale India
China war.
Although the Indian Prime
Minister has been carefully at
tempting to WOO the Soviet Union
in the circumstances, other Indian
leaders have indicated that they
and the Indian people are veering
away from neutralism and toward
the Western camp because Of the
prompt aid the United States and
the Commonwealth nations are
giving and pledging.

bassador to the United States.

Wednesday that his country had

Germany:
Suspense

Chancellor Adenauer said last
week he planned to "rejuvenate"
his coalition cabinet, indicating
that DIR. Franz Joseph Strauss
would be dropped as Defense
Minister as result Of Der
Spiegel case.
The impact upon the West Ger
man people of their Governments
actions against the newsmagazine
Der Spiegel for allegedly printing
secrets, obtained through bribery,
about the new Bonn army, con-
tinues to grow. Here is what hap
pened last week:
o The five Free Democrats who
have served since the last election
as ministers in a coalition govern
ment headed by DR.. Konrad
Adenauer resigned although their
party has agreed for the time being
to cooperate with the Adenauer
party in order to keep the govern
ment functioning. The Ministers
quit because the Chancellor has
not fired Defense Minister Strauss,
whose role in the Der Spiegel affair
is a matter of heated debate.
Q DR.. Adenauer on Thursday told
leaders Of his Christian Democratic
Party that he planned a thorough
rejuvenation" of the government
with a new coalition cabinet. The
new cabinet is not expected to in
clude DR.. Strauss. 1t probably will
be formed shortly after December
5, when President Heinrich Luebke
returns from an Asian trip.
Q The Chancellor spoke on a ma
tionwide television hookup Friday
night to give what he called the
facts of Der Spiegel case so that
the German people could form
their Gown opinion whether &C
cusations made in public are justi-
. fed" The accusations he referred
to we're that the Bonn Government
acted arbitrarily in arresting
several editors of Der Spiegel and
endangered freedom Of the press
in the process.
DR.. Adenauer did not mention
DR.. Strauss name in his TV
address. But the controversial De-
tense Minister. head of the Ba-
varian Christian Socialist Party,
remains the key figure in the Der
Spiegel cause celebre.
He first said that he had
nothing to do with the case but
later acknowledged in the Bun
destag that he had called Spanish
officials concerning the arrest of
the German who wrote the dis
putatious article on the Bonn
army in the magazine.
It has been the opinion Of most
observers that DR.. Adenauer was
delaying action on the Strauss

On-Site Issue

With the offensive threat Of
Soviet weapons apparently melt
ing away, there was a feeling in
Washington that the Kennedy adj
miniStration was not greatly per-
turbed that the Communists in
Moscow and Havana might be
dragging their feet on the inspec-
ton issue. The reason: Until
there is adequate on-site inspec-
ton, the United States is under
no obligation to formalize Mr..
Kennedy's promise that the United
States will not invade Cuba
his part of the late October bar
gain arrived at in the exchange
of letters with Mr.. Khrushchev.
The United States is, therefore,
in a flexible position. It can keep
the pressure on the buffeted Mr..
Castro. who has no firm guaran-
tee against unilateral action by
Washington or multi lateral
moves by the Organization of
American States.

Easing Tensions

AS the talks went on at the
U. N. and within the administra-
ton and the Kremlin, both the
Soviet Union and the United
States took other actions to ease
tensions over Cuba. -
The Russians announced that
their military forces. Including
long-range rocket battalions, were
being taken off war-alert. The
United States said the Strategic
Air Command was returning to q
normal alert status, that more
than $4,000 airmen recently called
up would be released and that
$1,000 Navy and Marine person.
mel would be released on schedule
rather than be held on active
duty.
Thus, a little more than a
month after the Presidents grave
and dramatic challenge to the
Soviet, the world could agree with
him that real progress" toward
a Cuban solution had been made.
But his reminder that great prob
lens remain to be settled before
we can be fully satisfied that
there will be peace in the Carib-
beam" there was tendency in
Washington and the free world
to do some chicken counting.
There were increasing sugges-
tons that Mr.. Khrushchev, al
ready beset by a schism in the
camp of world communism and
the problem of restraining the
aggressive designs of Red China,
had suffered a stiff diplomatic
defeat and would probably be
willing for genuine detente, or
relaxation of tensions, with the
West. The Kremlin. itself encour-
aged this optimism, by design or
accident, when it said last week
that only a small push" could
bring about a nuclear test ban
agreement.
The British expressed high
hopes for nuclear test ban and
disarmament agreements. Chan
cellor Adenauer of West Germany
said he thought the Soviet now
might be more tractable on the
matter of Berlin. Secretary of
State Rusk saw the possibility of
coming to new understandings
with the Russians.
All these hopes may be full
filled; the agreements may even
tuate. But some observers, per-
haps not the majority in these
euphoric days. are waiting for the
eggs to hatch.

Expensive Victory

The matter of mo invasion"
has a domestic political aspect,
too. Many Republicans have been
charging that our Cuban victory"
will be an expensive one If we
guarantee the security of a "Com-
munist cancer" in the Western
Hemisphere, or wait for Castro
Cuba to die on the vine.
The several hundred thousand
Cuban exiles in the United States
also are concerned lest their
hopes for a return to their home
land-in war or in peace-are
dashed by Mr.. Kennedy's pledge.
repeated on Tuesday, that the
United States shall neither ini-
tiate nor permit aggression in this
hemisphere" if the Russians live
up to their promises.
Meanwhile, United States-So-
Wet negotiations on the Cuban
inspection issue proceeded at the
United Nations. On Friday. the
Russians confirmed that they had
proposed a 14-point accord on
Cuba. but they did not reveal its
details.
1t was reported. however, that
the Russians are seeking a face
saving arrangement for their hui
inflated puppet, Mr.. Castro. In
this connection, Brazil's proposal
for inspection of the Panama Ca
nal and Puerto Rico, as well as
Cuba, to show that no nuclear
weapons are stationed there was
being mentioned.
Mr.. Kennedy earlier had told
his news conference that the
United States was interested in"
the Brazilian plan for the de
nuclearization" of Latin America.
1t was also reported that the
Russians, as part of their pro-
posal. were urging that the United
States discuss the abandonment
