Plant Roses To Give
Color, Beauty To Home
Recent advances in rose culture,
makes the family rose garden an
investment in living. For families
that like beautiful cut flowers in
the home and on the grounds, a
modern rose plant will yield more
returns in cut flowers in its first
..am thnn the Dlant cost orieinallv.
according to the American Associ-
ation for nurserymen.
Rose plants produce a conserva
tive average of three or four dozen
blooms annually will return 9 to
12 dollars in terms of retail values
for the blooms alone.
On property with imitcd space,
I garden 9 by 12 feet can produce
sufficient blooms for cutting and
still have many left in the rose
garden. Spaced three feet apart,
this will provide for 12 plants.
Larger gardens where space per
mits are desirable for their great
beauty.
Since new varieties are intro
duced each year, plan to start
with three or six plants and ald
two or three of the best varieties
annually.
Variety in color is advisable, In
cluding white, pink, yellow and
red, as well-as their intermiediate
shades, such as orange.
Most reliable new roses today
are- tested for growth in various
parts of the country before offer
ing them publicly. Consult with
your nurseryman for those which
will thrive here. -
Roses will grow well in a variety
of soils from sandy loam to fairly
heavy clay. - To - start spade up
the soil well to a depth of about a
foot. , ,
A location at one side of the
lawn where grass formerly grew
is usually excellent. The spot may
be either sunny, or shaded for part
of the day, but , not full shade.
Select a site that is well drained.
The rose plant is unusually adapt
able and will thrive in many lo
cations. By fertilizing after the first flow
ering period the plants will carry
some flowers all summer and then
produce another bountiful crop of
blooms in the fall.
Morse's Record In Public
Life Will Be Ammunition
For McKay In Senate Race
By A. ROBERT SMITH ,
Newt-Review Correspondent
WASHINGTON Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) has been the sub
ject of a major Republican search
party but no one seeking to
bring the erstwhile Republican
home to the Grand Old Party.
This has been a search of
Morse's record in public life. In
formed sources say the GOP Na
tional Committee has had investi
gators combing all of Morse's ut
terances over the past 15 years or
so. They discovered, of course,
that he had plenty to say about
five cases full of quotable quotes,
according to an informed estimate.
The committee has directed one
of its gumshoes to deliver this am
munition to Douglas McKay, who
is expected to load up both barrels
of his campaign shotgun for the
coming fall election.
McKay's record at the Interior
Department isn't exactlv going un
noticed in Democratic strategy cir
cles where Morse's campaign is
being plotted.
Relax while you can it's going
to be a noisy autumn.
Fluorescent Lighting
Gains In Home Usage
Present-day fashions in interior
decoration and design owe much
of their eye-appeal to fluorescent
lighting. The influence of fluores
cent lighting on home fashions is
found from the living vroom to the
kitchen and is doubly dramatic
when carefully combined with tra
ditional incandescent home lighting.-
' J
Colorful draperies, and wall
areas remain a center of interest
at night by concealing fluorescent1
tubes behind window valances andl
cornices "or in coves. A well-de-!
signed fireplace gains attention!
from a fluorescent installation un-.
dcr the mantel. A similar treat-1
ment in book-cases, wall shelves
and cabinets highlights book-bindings,
cherished accessories and-Sunday-best
china and glassware.
New colors and new shapes now i
highlight the fluorescent lamps for
home decor.
Both fluorescent and incan
descent types of light source make
a ueiinue coniriDuuon to nome
lighting; today a pleasing combi
nation of the two is found in most
living rooms, dining rooms and
bedrooms and only kitchens, bath
rooms and utility rooms, for the
most part, have gone 100 per cent
fluorescent.
Neuberger Tries
Pelton Blockade
In Amendment
WASHINGTON ilfi - A new
attempt to halt construction of the
controversial Pelton. Dam on the
Deschutes River in Central Ore
gon was begun Monday by Sen.
Neuberger (D-Ore).
He introduced an amendment in
the Senate which he said would
block construction of Pelton Dam
by Portland General Electric Co.
and a Snake River dam under
construction by Idaho Power Co.
Neuberger's amendment was to
a bill by Sen. Barrett (R-Wyo) to
reauire federal .agencies to ob
serve stale water laws. The bill
is before the Senate Interior Com
mittee. Neuberger's proposal
would suspend Federal Power
Commission licenses for dam con
struction where licensees have
failed to comply with state law.
It would apply. Neuberger said
to any project where construction
has not reaenca a state oi com
pletion which effects the impound
in? or diversion of the river water.
It would be effective until the
licensee is determined by the
FPC to have obeyed the state
law
Neuberger said his amendment
was aimed at the FPC license
granted Portland General Electric
for construction of Pelton. Oregon
stale agencies did not license the
dam and Ally. Robert Y. Thornton
has said in1 opinions that state
law has been violated.
The dispute led to litigation
which eventually went before the
U.S. Supreme Court. The court up
held the authority of the power
commission to issue tne license.
Neuberger said his amendment
also would apply to the Hells
Canyon case, in which Idaho
Power has received a federal
license to build dams on the
Snake River. Construction has
begun on one of them. The dams
would be between Oregon and
Idaho, and Oregon agencies have
not authorized them.
DoufE McKav must have had
hunch he might be leaving his
cabinet post in a hurry, for last
summer he took the precaution
of having his portrait painted for
posterity long before it could be
used.
Bv custom, the nnrtraitu nf pah.
met officers are hung in the re
ception areas of their offices but
not until after the cnhinAt mem
ber has left his post. So every day
wnen Aicnay came to work he was
greeted by the oil paintings of his
Democratic nredecessors. Oscar
Chapman, Julius Krug and Harold
icxes.
Last vear McKav sat for his Dor-
trait, which was done by a New
York artist, Charles Fox, When he
suddenly quit his job to run for
the Senate in Oregon this spring,
his secretarial staff only needed
to get it out and hang it in the
gallery.
Now as Fred Seaton goes to work
as the new secretary, he is greet
ed by McKay first, then the Dem
ocratic lineup of Chapman, Krug
and Ickes.

If Mrs. Green tended to identify

In Certain Jobs -
WASHINGTON Iffl The Su
preme Court ruled 6-3 Monday the
Eisenhower administration's feder
al employe security, program does
not apply to persons holding non
sensitive and non-policyinaking
jobs.
Justice Harlan wrote the ma
jority decision for himself, Chief
Justice Warren and Justices Black,
Frankfurter, Douglas and Burton.
Justice Clark wrote a sharp dis
senting opinion, joined by Justices
Reed and Minton.
Harlan said the term "national
security" as used in a 1950 con
gressional act giving heads of cer
tain departments dismissal pow
ers over civilian employes' "re
lates only to those activities which
are directly concerned with the
nation's safety, as distinguished
from the general welfare."
Clark's dissenting opinion said
"the court would require not only
a finding that a particular per
son is subversive but also that
he occupies a sensitive job."
"Obviously," Clark protested,
"this might leave the government
honeycombed with subversive em
ployes. Ruling Answers Challenge
The security program was chal
lenged by Kendrick M. Cole, a
former inspector in the New York
district of the Federal Food and
Drug Administration. He was fired
on security grounds in January,
1954.
Harlan said in Cole s case no determination-
actually had been
made that his job was affected
with the national security as that
term was used n the 1950 act.
Harlan said Cole's dismissal there
fore was not authorized
Lower federal courts here up
held the firing. The government
said the charges against Cole "do
not imply any knowing acts of dis
loyalty on his part."
He was fired after refusing to
offer any explanation regarding
associations carried on in his pri
vate life and because he told his
superiors he would "continue to
associate with any persons or
groups of persons" he saw fit to
choose.

Good Cere Of Plumbing System
Is Economy Factor In Home
Examination of the plumbing sys
tem in your home may mean a
considerable savings in water and
fuel bills during the .cold weather
ahead.
Leaky faucets and shower heads
as well as improperly working
toilets can be more expensive than
the cost of their repair. Besides
wasting water and fuel, leaks can
damage the fixtures,
The Plumbing Fixture manuiac
turers' Association says that
steadily dripping water can cause
rust spots and mineral stains on
high-gloss enameled fixtures.
Ordinarily, water drips are
caused by worn washers which are
inexpensive to replace and easy to
repair. Toilets with constantly run
ning water may be more difficult
to fix but far more wasteful.
Immediate repair or replace
ment of such plumbing equipment
may save you money and head
aches. Also, water drips and poorly
operating toilets may forecast
more serious plumbing problems.
Prompt attention to plumbing
needs will make a more comfort
able and more efficient bathroom.
