to name a new junior high
school for the late President.
The United Polish Organiza-
tons withdrew their request to
name the school after Casimir
Pulaski, Revolutionary War
hero. in favor Of the Kennedy
proposal.
Representative Ryan, Demo-
crat of Michigan, proposed that
a new Federal building to be
constructed in Detroit be
named the John F. Kennedy
Federal Building. And the De-
troit mayor and city council
president proposed that the old
city hall site in downtown De-
troit be named for him.
Dallas Foundation Formed
In Dallas, where the late
President was shot down, a
John F. Kennedy Foundation is
being organized. One proposal
there has been to erect a me-
mortal, perhaps similar to the
Jefferson Memorial in WASH
ington, on an 18-acre park
near the downtown area. In
addition, the foundation also is
considering establishing scho-
larships and other educational
awards in memory of Mr.. Ken
nedy.
Among the many proposals is
one in Maryland, supported by
Gov. Tawes. to name the new
Northeast expressway between
B altimore and Wilmington,
Del, the John F. Kennedy Me-
mortal expressway.

TO HONOR KENNEDY
Memorial Plans Grow

The assassination of Presi-
dent Kennedy has brought a
Nationwide outpouring of plans
for memorials to the fallen
leader.
John F. Kennedy roads,
squares, libraries, schools and
other memorials are beginning
20 take shape or are in idea
form.
Besides the groundswell of
support for building the pro-
posed National Cultural Center
9lere as a memorial to the late
PRESIDENT, there also have been
proposals to rename the D. C.
Stadium for Mr.. Kennedy.
Coin Likeness Proposed
Representative Kornegay,
Democrat Of North Carolina,
has introduced a bill to put q
likeness Of Mr.. Kennedy on one
side Of silver dollars. A new is
sue Of so million silver dollars
Is scheduled for next year.
County Commissioners have
voted to rename Padre Island
Causeway, just south of Corpus
Christi, Tex, the John F. Ken
nedy CauSeway. The causeway
connects the city with Padre
Island National Seashore Area

would have to back into the
matter in this manner.
The Presidents friend said
he would like to do anything he
could to help the new admin
istration. But he reminded Mr..
johnson that it would be I'M
wise to try to undercut Chair
man Harry F. Byrd of the Fl
nance Committee. He wouldn't
get even q truncated bill
passed If Senator Byrd opposed
it, the Senator said.
No Sale to Byrd
Dutifully the Presidents
friend tried the proposal out
on Senator Byrd. Disappoint-
edly he reported back to Mr..
johnson that there was no
sale.
Accordingly. while Mr.. john
son told the members of the
two Houses in his address yes
terday that the most immedi-
ate tasks" are those in Con-
greSs, he did not specifically
ask for action this year on
either the tax reduction bill
or the Kennedy civil rights
program.
He left no doubt he will use
every tool at his command
and he accumulated a subStan-
tial supply Of them In 80 years
he noted he had spent at the
Capitol-to get the quickest
possible action on them in 1864.
Many thought they glimpsed
the flash Of the Presidents
hand in a move by Representa-
tive Boiling, Democrat Of Mis-
souri,, to take the Kennedy civil
rights bill out Of traffic-con-
trolling House Rules Committee
and bring it to the floor for
action.
Chairman Howard w. Smith
Of the Rules group, an oppo-
nent Of the measure, obviously
was unmoved by the Presidents
plea for It's speedy clearance.
To take the bill away from
the committee, Mr.. Boiling
would have to get 2I8 sigma
lures on a discharge petition.
The earliest the House could
start debate on the measure
under such procedure would be
December %, when members
probably viii have gone home.
The discharge petition, for
practical purposes, could only
serve as q prod for early action
In 1864.

Urges Commission Setup
In a statement released TO
the press, Senator Humphrey,
Democrat of Minnesota, an
nounced that he had intro
duced a resolution calling upon
President Johnson to establish
a President John F. Kennedy
National Memorial Commission
which would "be expected to
consult the family of the late
President before coming to
Congress and the Executive
with its recommendations"
He urged that there be no
Federal activity designated as a
Kennedy M e m orial until a
commission could make its rec
concentrations.
But his personal hope, he
added, is that the cultural CEN
ter will be designated the John
F. Kennedy Center for Per-
forming Arts. He Joined Tues
day with Senators Fulbright,
Democrat of Arkansas; Salton-
stall, Republican of Massachu-
sets, and Clark, Democrat of
Pennsylvania, in proposin g
that the center be named for
the late president.

No Tax Vote This Year
Another member Of the FL
nance Committee said privately
there is no chance of getting
the tax bill to the floor Of the
Senate before Christmas.
When the new session starts
early in January Senator
Mansfield said the Senate win
take up whichever Of the two
big bills-taxes or civil rights

ic leader also repeated his in
tention Of trying to invoke the
cloture rule, by which two
thirds may limit debate, after
the civil rights bill has been
considered for about three
weeks.
See Rights Compromise
This will show whether the
supporters Of civil rights have

President johnson yesterday
bowed to the political inevi-
table, but not without the kind
Of back-stage maneuvering
likely to characterize his al
ready active administration
Congressional sources said
Mr.. johnson originally had
planned to ask Congress to
stay in session to pass the late
President John 2. Kennedy's
ell billion tax bill this year.
Secretary Of the Treasury
Dillon was represented as hav-
ing urged Mr.. johnson to bring
pressure to bear to speed Cen
ate action on the uSe-paSSed
measure.
Dillon's view, as expressed by
the President himself. was that
speedy passage Of the bill
would represent "our insurance
against recession"
Mr.. johnson got on the
phone personally to Democratic
leaders to canvass the situa-
ton. They told him fatty
there was no chance to push
the bill through the Senate in
the three weeks between
Thanksgiving recess and a
scheduled Christmas holiday.
Alternative Weighed
Accepting this as a political
reality. Mr.. johnson character
istically came up with an al
tentative. Would it be possible,
he asked, to cut the tax bill in
two and get action on the rate
reduction portion?
The proposed reduction In
rates of individuals and cor
poration income taxes is con-
siderably less controversial
than other portions Of the
measure. This section also car
ries the prospective economy
boosting impact.
Mr.. johnson called an old
senatorial friend who happens
to be a member of the Senate
Finance Committee. Would he
undertake to introduce such a
Stripped-down bill in the Senate
as an amendment to some
House-pasSed revenue bill? The
House must originate all reve-
nue. measures so the Senate

Malcolm Kilduff said Mrs.

tesies."
He added that Mr.. johnson
and the slain prnridaptBs

One Of Mr.. Johnson's close
advisers said the President has
not had time to reach any firm
decisions on the aides that will
be called upon to assist In car

Mr.. Kennedy's White House
staff has remained at work and

Others have indicated they

Converting valuable lie ave S
and other vegetable matter into
soil enriehing compost is the
mark Of a good gardener.
Leaves contain minerals as
well as plant food which should
be returned to the soil rather
than burned or carted away.
In addition to these nutrients,
our heavy soils annually need
quantities Of compost or other
forms Of hunus to improve
their structure and to increase
the water holding c apa city.
Thus, leaves, weeds, grass clip
pings and other such materials
are the cheapest form Of soil
building and enriching materi-
ais that we can have.
The making Of compost is
neither time-consuming nor ex-
pensive e. Any place where
leaves can be stacked for six
months or a year will do. The
stacks, however, should be built
up Of alternate layers of leaves,
soil and a small quantity of nj
trogenous fertilizer. The soil
serves to hold the leaves in
place and to make the finished
product highly useful. The nitro

Many gardeners object to q

seen compost bins made from

would undoubtedly be more at

made from cinderblocks. They
should be laid in wall form, pre-

Gardeners seeking more color

well consider the winged eu-
Onymus, often called the Euro
pean Burning-Bush (Euonymus

many desirable features. They

bush Is one Of the few deciduous
euonymus. Washingtonians are
more familiar with the others

The European Burning-bush,
which grows to 8 or 8 feet, is
quite tolerant Of soil and mois-
