LAWNS AND FENCES

LAWNS AND FENCES
In a poem entitled "Mending Wal1"
poet Robert Frost wi tn New England BRIEF /
ness escribed q New England scene
two farmers on opposite sides Of the
stone wall separating their properties,
restoring stones displa ced by q thawine
soil. Why? Robert Frost answered for
New England:
"G Cd fences make good neighbors."
Perhaps few Of our citizens realize
that Greenbel It's "foncele ass" has occu-I
pied the atten tt on and excl ted the specu-
Ia ton Of housing experts in many parts
Of this country. These experts seek to
discover the effect Of the absence Of
fences not upon cur social rela tionships,
but upon our lawns and shrubs and land
scape.
Greenbelt planners have been told by
authorities that VI th0ut fences We cannot
have lawns or shrubs; that wi thout fences
our homes will be islands in O sea Of mud
that even the adults, to say nothing Of
the children, would scorn the paths and
tramp the spark Of life from every blade
Of grass. These authorities agreed that
FENCES in themselves would be a decided
de triment to Greenbelt lands cape, but
they held that their presence is newt
able if there is to be any landscape.
The town planners disagreed wi tn
these authori ties though they could
justify their view only by assuming that
in q town then unborn, there would be q
cornnuni ty spirit SO strong as to preclude
the part Of any citi zen willful or
thoughtless act pre- judicia to the group
interest.
The comnuni ty now is born. We are
the community. Very soon we shall have
proved that those who planned this CON-
mum ty were -. shall it be right?... or
shall it be wrong?

A japanese destroyer was reported
sunk by Chinese war planes today
as Nipponese forces pressed for
ward with their new offensive
against South China and a gigantic
battle ragged at the port of Annoy.
Canton, huge southern Chinese
port near the British crown colony
of Hongkong, also was the scene
of operations. Five Japanese bomb
ing planes flew over the teeming
city but were driven away by
chinese pursuit craft, which
claimed to have shot down two
of the Japanese planes.
IL PLANES IN ATTACK
The japanese destroyer was said
to have been sent to the bottom
when IL Chinese planes bombed a
group of Nipponese warcraft Oft
Sancho Island. 10 miles southwest
Of the Portuguese colony Of Macao,
near Hongkong.
In addition to sinking one ship,
the Chinese claimed to have in
flicted serious damage upon other
units of the Japanese fleet.
Nipponese SeaplaneS attempted
to drive off the Chinese attacking
craft, but were easily out-maneu'
vered, according to the Chinese
advices. One of the japanese
planes was reported shot down.
TRANSPORT REPORTED
At the same time, a Japanese
transport vessel was reported a
short distance sou thwest of
Macao. reviving fears of an at.
tempted Japanese land invasion
in that area.
Fighting which en- d angered

Evidence of a plot to obtain conf
Dental information regardin g
American and British fighting
planes has been unearthed here,
International News Service learned
today.
British military intelligence
agents and American Secret Serv-
ice men, working in concert, have
uncovered the evidence, it was
stated. The alleged plotterS
planned to sell the information to
a foreign power.
HEADQUARTERS IN U. S.
Evidence regarding the plot,
said to have been worked out
along systematic lines, is expected
to be brought publicly to light
within the next 10 days.
Authorities here believe the plot
was being carried out by an inter-
national espionage ring with head
quarters in the United States.
The spy ring, 1t was stated, is
suspected of employing attractive
women" to gather its information.
AS a result of information sup
piled by American secret agents
following discovery of a ring in
the United States by j. Edgar
Hoover of the Department of JUS
tice, British intelligence officials
found evidence indicating espio-
mage activities had been carried
out in the vicinity of Royal Air
Force bases in Scotland.
WOMAN is INVOLVED
British officials believe the spy
combine was seeking secrets re-
garding the construction of the
latest British and American
bombing planes, which are re-
garded as the finest in the world.
Evidence regarding the airplane
spy plot followed revelation that
disclosures linking a woman 2e-

British agents now have evi-
dence indicating a connection be-
tween the suspect and the ring

The case represents activity in
the greatest anti-espionage drive
conducted by Britain since the
World War.
