II Capitol Hill Notes Roosevelt Ignored Detceyin Selectin Security Meeting Delegates The OSEGOIf STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Sunday Morning. February 15, 1345 Itv lh Wufitnrlnn Staff f th Aauwlat4 Vmm "WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-tfP-Capitol Hill noted with interest Al 4. a. n i 3 jnt ' im . iuv rraiaeni Aoaseveii ihuku over uw. uumai uewey ill se lecting delegates to the forthcoming world security conference. - The New York governor has received no post-campaign over tures from the White House - - and is unlikely to get any. - For one thing, lot f administration men still resent some the of the charges campaign. i Roosevelt probably would have named Wendell I Willkie as a ' delegate had Willkie lived. There on hinges the Capitol Hill .expla nation for selection- of LUut Cmdr. Harold E. Stassen as one of the select eight. In the republi can party Stassen's foreign policy views most nearly approximate those of Willkie. Treasury trove: Somewhere on the silt-covered- bottom of Manila bay are 15,500,000 one-peso silver coins, worth about $7,750,000. " This silver was sunk in 1942 to keep it out of the hands of the Japs. Much gold and silver was brought out by submarine, but there wasn't room for the 15,500, 000 coins. But dont be planning that Phil ippine swimming party! Officials say the treasure was sunk at a "non-recoverable depth." Calendar-wise Stalin: the Cri means conference and the pro gress of the military campaigns make some Washington observ ers think now thei Russians were right all along in their guess as to when the war in Europe would end --summer, 1843. Las summer, the Russians were saying that barring some unex ; pected development, it would take until' this summer to reduce the nazis militarily. They held to that despite rising h p e s the war would end in '44. j If one more red offensive must be built up, Judging by past ex perience, it would probably come late In June. ... Tit for tat: There's apt to be fight if the new house commit tee on unameriean activities, suc cessor to the old Die committee, takes up where Its predecessor left off - - by Investigating the CIO political action committee. Several northern members hint that should Rep Rankin (D Miss) under take to have the . committee take up the PAC in quiry, they will retailiate prompt ly by seeking an investigation of poll taxes. Rankin, a member of the com-, mittee, is the PACs arch foe and leads the-" perennial fight against legislation to outlaw poll taxes. Bowles for boosts: Chester Bowles favors a healty postwar increase in wage rates; .V.- - The pile boss ; says workers must keep a high purchasing pow er to support full employment in peacetime. Basic wage boosts, he tells friends, will be necessary to make up for loss of overtime and high-paid munitions jobs. He believes price control on automobiles, refrigerators and other durable goods should be re- tamed perhaps two years after all fighting ends. He'd like congress to act quickly on postwar price control, for he figures thus: a postwar inflation would be hard er to check than wartime inflation. Baby's growing up: the B29 su perfortress Is beginning to stand more and more on its own. When the 20th air force fall B29s) be gan operations, everything was controlled by the Joint chiefs nf staff -'- the objective, time of mission, even fuse settings. As experience piles ud. how ever, much detail is being left to we command in the field, with the overall strategy remaining in wasmngion. Varsity blues: Government of ficials hope colleges will respond to an appeal to cancel spring va cations to ease travel congestion. The ODT, which issued the ap peal, and the US office of educa tion, which indorsed it, have had no reaction from campus row, Botn agencies believe budt schools will comply, but they don't expect to receive notification.

(Bsairifl3pnim ITqpcfflay 91 Food is one of the. garden es- aentialr in spring. - Almost all shrubs.: trees, and the lawn re- annnria to feed-!""1-'-' lngv some more : than itVr ITi-ir the first feeding, . lust a things ! begin -to grow, I like best .to use! fertilizer a tri fle heavier in ni trogen, for 7 in stance a 6-10-4 ' Then for the sec- onaxeeuxiiK long : in May, 1 i like to use a S- , UlUe Maaien 10-10. Almost every gardener has her or his own idea of what is best to use. Of course, there are plants, too, that require special feeding. X am just referring to the plants that require ordinary food, ) Evergreens," like . the conifers, while they do not require as hea i vy feeding as deciduous trees and shrubs, do improve with some in ; spring when growth starts. Use i about half as much plant food as you would for a similar sized tree or shrub of the deciduous vane i ties. Feeding improves the color ' of the evergreens. All - varieties I show a more intense color and the coloring ..is more uniform : Feeding is especially beneficial in giving blue spruce an excellent blue color. Your lawn Improves a , great deal by the use of a 6-10-4 at this . time and a repeat of 3-10-10 or ' thereabouts, later in the spring. jn old days we fed the lawn much oftener than we do now. If your lawn has been well prepared and If it has been kept growing well then two feedings in the spring should be sufficient. , Your lilacs would have benefit ed most . if they had been given some bohemeal In fall, but they will improve If a 8-10-10 fertil izer is used on them just as growth, starts. Your ornamental trees will start good growth if in late February or early March thej art given 8-3-2 with a repetition of the same fertilizer again in late May' or una. ; Questions and Ani.t i A. N.: Asks how to hold over a poinsettia. Ans.: This can be dont but It Is not as rule satisfactory be cause the average, house does not have the correct temperatures for this. But keep It dry after It has bloomed. Set the pot in a base men . Cut back halfway in mid Hay and water. Bring it out. to, the light and in June sink the pot in the. ground outdoors and keep it watered and fed. Brina- it in doors by the end of August and give it a sunny window and lots Of water. Night temneratiire should never go below 55 and not aoove ez. it is this even temper ature at night which is so impor tant and yet so hard to maintain. One can get a good poinsettia up to about October and then, as a rule, trouble begins. And if you do not give It the right tempera' ture from September on, it sim ply will not bloom. Ques.: Mrs. A. E. O. asks about calls hues, salal and peonies. Ans.: I cannot imagine calla lil ies doing so very well in beaver dam soil .unless considerable fer tilizer and a lot of water is given them- If a lot of well-decayed barnyard manure is added to the soil, they might do Drettv well. I am not too well acquainted with beaver dam land - - onlv so far as onions and celery go. I recall once a long time ago, I did try it in my porch boxes-and it didn't do at an. Salal does well in shade and leaf mnlri Rn will -- " W UV TTVlt --- heavy clay unless quite a bit of leaf moid is added. I do not know where one could purchase a bush, I have never seen it grown, in nurseries. But almost anyone who lives, near a wood or stream would be able to obtain a bit Mrs. A. E. O. ? ? ? ?
