ELM DISEASE
 IS SPREADING
New Infections Found in Districts Not Touched
 in Former Years

Gradual but steady spread of the Dutch elm disease into new sections of Connecticut was reported today by Philip Wallace of the Agricul- tural Experiment Station at New Haven. Although the total number of elms found diseased this season Is 227, which is fewer than the num- Der for the corresponding period in 1888, the discovery of trees in new sections has aroused concern.
 New infections have been found in the following towns for the first time this year: North Haven, East Haven. Seymour, Woodbury, South bury, Trumbull and Shelton. In Old Lyme, where diseased trees were found in 1884, '35, '36 and '37, very thorough job of pruning and clean up has been carried out by U. s. D. A. crews, and in spite of careful scouting no new infections have ap- peared since that time.
 Of the total of 227 new cases of disease found since June, the larg- est number of trees grew in the Greenwich Stamford Darien area of Fairfield County. Approximately one-third of the elms were of shade or ornamental value, while the rest stood in fields, swamps of forests.
 In addition to the regular Dutch elm disease crew, the U. s. D. A. em- ployed 180 college students to help with the scouting in Connecticut this summer. These men were or ganized and trained to spot diseased elms in the field, and they have sent samples from trees displaying visible symptoms of the disease to the fed eral laboratory at Bloomfield, New Jersey, for culture. In all cases where the disease was found it was determined by laboratory tests, and the trees have been removed. The reason for prompt removal and des- truction of the wood is to prevent spread of the trouble, MT. Wallace pointed out. Elm bark bettles breed under the bark of deal or dying elm wood and the young beetles fre- quently carry the disease-causing fungus to healthy trees. MT. Wallace is studying the habits and control of the elm bark beetle at the Ex- pertinent Station.
 The U. s. D. A. is doing aerial and auto-foot scouting in large part of the state, looking for cases of Dutch elm disease, but the college crew work was completed last week.

GERMAN ROADS IN
 WARLIKE MOVES
Long Columns of Tricks
 Are Rapidly Carrying MunitiOn to Frontier
By HAROLD PETERS Limited Press Stan CorreSp0ndent)


 German-Polish Frontier, near 0leiwitz, Germany, Aug. 28.-(UP) Long columns of dusty trucks rumbled along German roads to the i frontier today. Many lowed trail- CTS. Those not covered with tar- paulins revealed cargoes Of anti-air- craft guns and machine guns.
 The cavalcades congested roads and forced civilian cars on 125- mile detour skirtfng the frontier that lasted four hours.
 The atmosphere pervading the border districts was that of calm ness. The populace was tense and reticent. When one could start a conversation, it almost immediate .ly struck this note:
 Must Come Sometime
 Tt must come sometime. The sooner the better"
 It was difficult for civilian auto mobiles even to penetrate the from tier zone. All traffic not bearing official passes or not palpaby mili- 'tary was shunted either westwards or southwards upon reaching the neighborhood of Breslau. There was virtually no gasoline available in German Silesia.
 The Riesengeborge health resorts were empty of visitors for the most part. Few private automobiles were about. All bus excursion trips had been canceled.
 Several delivery trucks from Ber- lin and from SileSia towns had been converted into ambulances ard flew Red Cross flags on their radiators.
 During my drive from Berlin to Gleiwitz, almost all the peasants, villages, and farm laborers I spoke with, expressed the opinion, some thing will happen tonight" In inns and restaurants the conversations ,centered on the theme of imminent military action.
 Much Military Activity
 Gleiwitz, town of 100 only a few miles from the Polish border, was bristling with military activity. Several miles beyond the town police forced us to detour saying they had to keep the roads open for mili- tary transport. This was a com mon occurrence and we kept as much as possible of the main high ways.
 The countryside was quiet-more so than usual on Sunday after moon. Here and there a few pairs of villagers on bicycles edged closer to the side of the road as motor cycle couriers and staff cars roared by. There were practically no pri- svate automobiles, since gasoline is sissued only with special permit from the military. Now and then an airplane droned overhead.
 Nearly 100000 men idle in Bri- tain In .faniiary are now at Work

Man Accepted as Saint
By Tibetan5 Lectures
On Land's S Mysteries
Theos Bernord Sow
Phoses of Life There
Known Only to lomos

The strange customs and religious
ceremonies of Tibet were described
10 members OF the National Geo.
graphic Society at Constitution Hall
last night by man who lived for a
time as 'reincarnated saint"
among the people of the ancient and
isolated kingdom.
The lecturer was Tbeos Bernard.
New York lawyer, who several years
ago forsook his legal career to study
the philosophy and customs of mys-
tic Tibet.
He studied the Tibetan language
and customs for several months in
India before beginning his journey
to Llasa, the Tibetan capital.
In monastery at Gyangtse. in
Southern Tibet, he was declared by
the lsmas to be the reincarnation
of one of the early Tibetan saints.
This reputation went with him fur
ther into Tibet and as a result he
was permitted to take part in cere-
monies that made him a full-f1edged
lama. enabling him to witness phases
of Tibetan life known only to lamas
or Buddhist monks.
Mr.. Bernard illustrated his lecture
with motion pictures he took in
Llasa, showing many of the rites long
forbidden to eyes of the Western
world.
He found eating the native food
difficult during the first part Of his
stay in Tibet, Mr.. Bernard said, but
learned to like it before he left. The
principal dish was a concoction of
rancid yak butter, tea and parched
barley meal
He said he had to use three diff
ferent beasts of burden on his jour-
ney into Tibet-horses at first. then
donkeys and finally yaks. Trails over
high mountains were narrow and
often washed by rains or blocked by
snoWdrifts.
In the libraries of Tibet. he found
many manuscripts pertaining to the
ancient philosophy OF the east.
