Arboretum

The azalea display at the
National Arboretum is reaching
a peak of bloom and many will
find a visit. to that place a
worthwhile experience. The
many, many kinds and varieties
will be invaluable in selecting
those kinds and varieties for the
home garden. 1t may take sew
eral such visits to see the extent
Of the Towering season possible
with the great range of form,
season of bloom and size of
plants now available to the
home gardener. The plant
breeders have and still are
doing a marvellous job. We hope
it will not be too many years
before we have evergreen yell
low azaleas to extend the color
range in the home garden

Tomato

1t Is not too early in the more
protected sections to set out a
few tomato plants. If the wire
cylinder is used to grow them
in it is good practice to wrap
the lower two feet of the
cylinder with a thin plastic
This serves as a hot cap" and
the plants are protected from
chilling breezeS. Do not cover
the top Of the cylinder because
the plastic gathers heat Just
as does glass and the plants
could cook in an enclosed area
The wire cylinders might we'll
be made now that tomato
planting season is here. Co.
operate with two or three
neighbors and buy a roll of
reinforcing steel wire. Cut this
S foot wide wire into 6 foot
g inch strips. Bend the ends
Of the wires into hooks so that
they may be hooked together,
These cylinders will last from
8 to IL years without painting
If it is not feasible to CO.
operate with the neighbors in
buying a 100 foot roll of this
wire. which will make 16
cylinders, ask local builders fol-
the scraps left from a building
job. They usually have pieces
of various lengths which may
be turned into good use as
tomato supports.

DuhIiu Tubers

A careful check of the dahlia
tuberS should be maintained so
that they will not shrivel and
lose vitality at this late season.
If they are Sprouting it is well
to place them in a cooler Sltua-
ton. If that is not available
it may be wise to pot up those
which are making the stronger
growth and to keep them in a
sunny but cool window where
they will root and become es-
tabliShed plants ready to go
into the garden about mid
May.
Now is a good time to divide
the dahlia tubers and to take
stock of the supply on hand.
This will give time to distribute
the surplus and to order new
ones if they are desired.

Color Trends
In Pefuniias

There are three pronounced
color trends in those popular
ANIMALS, petunias. The first is
toward bright colors, like those
in varieties Comanche. Tango,
Fire Dance, Red Satin and
Scarlet Lustre, all of which are
brilliant in hue.
The second is toward by
color or variegated petunias.
This trend started about 1856
with the introduction of the
variety Crusader which has
flowers of roSe-red and white.
Since then, such varieties as
Satellite, Glitters, Comet, Polar
is and Calypso have been ex-
tremely popular.
Third is the trend toward
white flowered petunias. This
may be because people like the
bright colors in the varieties
mentioned above with white,
thus achieving strong contrast
which accents the parts of the
garden planted with petunias.
Another possible reason for
the desirability of white petu-
MAS is that people use their
gardens as outdoor living rooms
and often sit in or near them
at night when white flowers are
most needed and show to best
advantage.
Whatever the reasons, these
are the trends. If you wish to
pursue them, you'll find exact
color descriptions of the varie-
ties named in your favorite seed
catalog or on the seed packet
in the rack at your favorite
seed store.

Unusual in gardens, yet easy
to grow is the Inca's Flower,
more commonly known as Tith-

Prune Forsythio

The forSythia is about
through with its 80 display
and it is time to prune it. Cut
the oldest canes off close to the
ground. Normally from a fourth
to a third Of the canes should
be removed each year so that
the entire top of the bush is
renewed every 3 or 4 years. In
this way there is no problem
of keeping the bush within
bounds; of having bare-legged
bushes, or Of maintaining the
quality of bloom. Use a saw or
heavy looping shears to do the
cutting.

spring -flowering bulbs and
shrubs into bloom. The season

it only takes a few such hot

G.0.P.E Element
To Extremists
BY the Associated Press

Democratic National Chair
man John M. Bailey predicts a
1862 test Of political strength
between Democrats and right
wing extremists in the Republi-
can Party"
In an annual report to Demo-
cratic committee members and
State chairmen, Mr.. Bailey ac-
cused the Republicans of max
ing an alliance with conserva-
tive fringe groups.
"The Republicans are more
and more taking their ideas
from the reckless radicals of
the far right and echoing the
efforts of these extremist agi-
tators to breed fear and sus-
picion in our society,"" he said
yesterday. 1T would seem that
a new political axis is in the
process of formation.
"It is a strange alliance OF
Republicans and the fringe
groups Of self-appointed pa
triots who prey upon ignorance
and prejudice. This curious un-
ion of Republicans and right
wing fanatics can best be de-
scribed as the Fanatican Party"
Mr.. Bailey's attack indicated
the Democrats will attempt in
this years congressional elec-
tionS to label what some Re-
publicans call a swing toward
conservatism as really a move
ment Of extremists. The Demo-
cratic chairman said these in
clude political witch doctors,

Tins of the neo-Fascist lecture
circuit"
Mr.. Bailey said the Demo-
Gratis have no illusions about
the tough fights they face in
attempting to hold their own
this year in Congress, where
they have roughly two thirds of
the membership of both Houses.
He noted that only once in the
last 60 year~in 1934-has the
party in power gained seats in
the non-presidential year elec-
tlons.
The best way for Democrats
to win, he advised, will be to
support President Kennedy's

FAA's Tactics

marks Mr.. Halaby made at a

which the FAA head said, Il
think there are various ways
they (the airlines) can be per-
suaded to use the airport

WILLIAM S. WHITE

The New Year inherits
from the old at least one
legacy Of unqualified good
promise. For the first time
it Is possible to make an hon.
est forecast that "the race
problem" which for genera
tions has embittered and be-
deviled this Nation may be
on the way to an orderly, a
fair and a sensible solution.
For the first time it is ra-
tionally possible to believe
that the extremists on both
sides are themselves about to
be cast aside and forgotten.
These are the professional
Southerners (not infrequent-
ly born in Kansas or New
Jersey who have never quit
fighting the War Between
the States. These are the
professional Northern ultra
liberals, who have never for
given the South for fighting
that war SO gallantly-albeit
so hopelessly - in the first
place.
Attorney General Robert
F. Kennedy's year-end report
to his brother, the President,
on the progress of civil rights
in 1861 should give quiet
satisfaction to fair and rea-
sonable men in both sections.
The sense of that report is
that Negro voting rights and
school integration are pro-
ceeding with slow, sound
growth. These should proceed
at no breakneck speed, wholly
overrunning all local feeling
all at once, if we really be-
lieve that government must
