FertiIize Beds

1t is well to fertilize the peren-
NAL and bulb beds with a s.
los or similar fertilizer mix
ture at this season. However,
the fertilizer should be washed
off of the foliage before burn
ing occurs. No fertilizer is rec
commended for the tulips-just
for the daffodils, hyacinths,
crocus. and other spring flow
ering bulbs. Two and a half to
five pounds per 100 square feet
of bed is considered adequate
for superior growth and flow
ering.

Lift Mulch

The mulch should be re-
moved completely from peren-
NAL and bulb beds. If there is
yellowish new growth beneathe
the final uncovering might well
be deferred until a cloudy day.
Keep the mulching materials

is another freeze forecast.
The strawberry beds should
be partially uncovered, keep

BY ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star staff Writer

The Budget Bureaus draft Of
a proposed presidential re-
organization plan to transfer
virtually all Washington urban
renewal powers to the District
government was drawn up at
the request of the District Com
missioners.
A spokesman for the Budget
Bureau explained that today,
and also that quick action is
needed If the plan is to become
effective, owing to expiration
of the Reorganization Act Of
l949 on June /. The transfer
would take place under reor-
ganization powers made avail
able to the President by this
act.
Thus a final draft must be
whipped into shape and sent
to Congress within just about
a month.
If a reorganization plan ac-
ceptable to President Kennedy
can be drawn up in time so
he can submit 1t to Congress
by June /, the changes 1t pro-
poses will become effective un-
less a simple majority of either
the House or Senate disapproves
1t within so days, officials ex-
planned.
Comment on the draft is be-
ing sought by next Friday from
the Redevelopment Land Agen-
cy. the National Capital Plan
ming Commission. the District
Commissioners and the Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency's
Urban Renewal Administration.
Two Main Purposes
Before a final draft is sent
to Congress, 1t will need o Jus
tice Department review for ap-
proval of its form and legality,
and this also will take some
time, a spokesman said.
In its present form, the draft
plan does two main things:
/. 1t transfers to the District
government the renewal func-
tions Of the Redevelopment
land Agency. abolishes the RIA
board, and makes the three Dis
trict Commissioners the
agency's board of managers.
2. 1t transfers the powers of
the National Capital Planning
Commission over urban renewal
to the District Commissioners.
These powers now include the
authority to choose areas for
renewal, and set their bounda-
ries, and to approve details of
plans governing the way In
which such areas are to be re-
developed.
To Study Position
If the reorganization goes
through as proposed, the Plan
