Nothing so we'll illustrates
the perils Of President Ken
nedy's legislative strategy as
the recent illness Of Represent
alive Ray j. Madden Of Indi-
ana, the Democratic swing-man
on the House Rules Committee.
Mr.. Madden is out Of the
hospital and well on the road
to recovery from his recent
surgery, so 1t is no longer q
morbid speculation to report
that for an anxious two weeks,
the fate Of the administrations
domestic program rested on
the recuperative powers of this
71-year-old Congressman.
Fortunately for the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Madden is as tough
as the steelworkers he repre-
sents. When he is able to vote,
Mr. Kennedy has a safe 81
majority on the Rules Commit
tee for most of his domestic
proposals.
When he Is not, the tie be-
tween five Republicans and
two Southern Democrats. on
one hand, and seven pro-ad-
ministration Democrats, on the
other. blocks any bill from
reaching the floor.
Tied on Mont Controversial Issue
This was demonstrated last
week when the Rules Commit
tee, splitting TT. failed to clear
q relatively non-controversial
measure to help medical and
dental schools and students.
The bill had been approved
by a 21-1 margin in the Com
merce Committee, and it car
ried the strong personal in
dorsement Of the President. But
with Mr.. Madden ailing, it was
stymied.
When Mr.. Kennedy was asked
at his press conference what
he could do to bulge this and
other bemired programs, the
essence of his reply was the
wish that MIR. Madden "get well
SOON"
The question now being pur-
sued by some Of the Presidents
liberal supporters is Just how
the success or failure Of major
administration measures came
to rest on the ability Of a sep
tuagenarian to Withstand sur
gerry.
A Kennedy Decision
One Of Mr.. Kennedy's first
decisions after his election was
the necessity Of cracking the
traditional Rules Committee
roadblock to progressive legis-
lation. The means he chose
were his own.
He rejected the urgings Of
liberal Democrats for a curb on
the Rules Committees powers
and elected instead to adjust
the size Of the committee to
give his supporters what he

YuIe GreenerY
Once Prohibited

Love, the poets say, is like the
wild rose briar and friendship
like the holly tree.
The similarity of love and wild
rose briar may need proving but
history records the use of holly
as symbol of goodwill and
friendship even before the Chris
tian era.
Holly wreaths, sprays and twigs
were used, too, in various rites
throughout much of Europe in
those early days. And large guam
titles of the shiny green foliage
and red berries were brought in
doors to brighten the scene dur
ing drab winter days. But even
before the Romans set foot on
English shores, the druids were
using holly in their own pagan
rites.
Due to this pagan association,
early Christian leaders opposed
use of holly during the Christmas
season. In fact, Christians we're
forbidden to decorate their homes
with Christmas greenery during
the mid-December Saturnalian
revelries of the Roman Empire.
Eventually, however, holly dec
orations became so well estab,
lished and so popular they were
given Christmas acceptance.

Scientist Not
Satisfied With
Native Hollv

Of all the traditional, always
hesame symbols of Christmas,
you might think that holly is most
Interchangeable.
But a plant breeder at Rutgers
University's College of Agricul-
ture says "no, there's room for
improvement in holly. He's not
out to change the symbolism OF
holly, whatever that may be, but
only the plant itself.
Dr.. ElWin R. Orton is talking
about American holly-ilex opaca
that grows best in New Jersey
and the East, not English holly.
Most of the English holly avail.
able at Christmas comes from the
Pacific Northwest.
Variations
But there are tremendous vari-
atoms within the American spe-
cies in color, glossiness of leaves,
bearing habits of berries and
other characteristics And it lives
through cold winters that can kill
the less hardy English holly.
DR.. Orton's olly-breeding prof
ect began with selection of male
and female plants with character
istics that might improve the
species, then s-pollination ac-
cording to time-tested methods.
Harvesting the berries was easy
enough. But each berry contains
four seeds with extremely hard
coats. Normally, in wild state, a
holly seed takes as long as three
years to germinate.
Still Takes Time
Successful experiments COM
pressed this time to IA months,
yet it's still two and quarter
years from time of planting the
seed until the new plant is Is
inches high and big enough for
results to be seen. Complicating
this situation is the fact that some
plants don't begin to show desir-
able characteristics - put their
best foot forward-until after four
or five years.
New sorts will be worth waiting
for, but meanwhile, DR.. Orton
suggests, enjoy whatever kind of
holly you can get, American or
English. Even sprig in the plum
pudding helps preserve the ira
dition.

A look through the merchan-
disc mart suggests Christmas this
year will be traditional with lots
of green, gold and bright berry
red. Holly wreaths and small dec
orative trees are shiny green
trimmed with velvet bows, gar
lands of della robbia fruits, bright
red cherries, strawberries and
'just-for-fun" polka dot mush-
rooms.
Tinsel string, fluffy foil fringe
and gold paper garlands offer
trimming possibilities artfully
festive and fascinating. Small
mirrors on an invisible nylon
thread, or multi-faceted glittering
ornaments reflect a thousand dane
ing lights in a holiday room.
Oversize ornaments, much too
big for the tree hang in clusters
and carry Christmas into every
corner of the house. Some re-
semble frosty decorated icicles;
others use velvet, jewels and gilt
ter for fancy festive baubles.
