Plastic Sprays
Keep Moisture
In Tree Leaves

While humans wear plastic
raincoats to keep moisture out,
some trees now wear plastic coats
to keep moisture in.
Liquid plaStics known as anti
desSicants are being used by
some nurserymen during the win
ter to keep delicate evergreen
trees and shrubs fresh and green.
This protection is important.
Evergreens, especially the broad
leaved varieties. give off a good
deal of moisture on warm. sunny
winter days. And this lost mois-
ture cannot be easily replaced if
the ground is frozen and roots
are unable to draw water from
the soil. Under such conditions,
the foliage dries out and ugly
brown areas often appear. The
new spray coatings help prevent
excessive loss of foliage moisture.
Some trees are more Suscepti-
BILE to winter drying than others.
Virtually all new evergreen
transplants and such established
favorites as lockwood, evergreen
azaleas, arborvitae and hemlock
are likely to suffer. For these
trees, the protection supplied by
anti-dessicants is especially valu-
able.
OF course, the sprays don't re-
place such necessary practices as
feeding, mulching, pruning and
other normal care. They are
simply another means Of keeping
trees healthy and beautiful, no
matter what the season.
Anti-dessicants make it pos
sible to move and transplant all
kinds Of trees during the sum-
er by reducing the rate of mois-
ture loss.

'Titoist' Pureers
Seized by Czechs

VIENNA. Austria. April Is (P)
Some of the Communist po-
lice and prosecutors who purged
Czechoslovakia's "Titoists" dur
ing the Stain era are now being
arrested, the Czechoslovak Com
munist paper Rude Pravo said
today.
The paper said numerous al
legged accomplices Of former
Party Chief Rudolf Slansky have
been released from prison and
rehabilitated. However, Slansky
hanged in 1852, has not beer
proclaimed innocent.
Rehabilitation of some Of
these victims was necessary,
Rude Pravo asserted, because
it was found that they were tor.
Itured by Gestapo methods t
obtain false confessions from
them.
THE officials (police and pros,
ecutors) who were guilty Of thest
practices have been dismissed
from their posts and some O
them have been arrested anC
handed over for trial"

The Federal Reserve Board
today held a big caution sign
above the gathering 1856 bust
ness boom. by hiking its bank
lending rate to its highest Level
in more than % years.
The action was the fifth such
move to head off initiation by
the reserve system in a year.
The board approved. effective
today. a jump to 3 per cent in
the discount rate for the Mime
apolis and San Francisco Fed
eral Reserve Banks. The rate
for nine other banks-all ex-
cept Chicago-likewise goes up
from 2I2 to pa per cent. Di-
rectors of the Chicago bank did
not meet yesterday.
Normally. all IL Federal Re-
serve Banks adopt the same dis
count rate within a short time
General agreement on new
rate of either 234 or 3 per cent
was expected shortly. Not since
May, 1888, has the reserve sys-
TENS general discount rate beer
as high as 3 per cent. and il
had been not more than 21s pei
cent since october, 1898.
Credit Demands Rise
The higher bank lending rate
came IN the face Of increasing
demands for credit. Business
loans by reserve member banks
in March increased SIPS billion
over February--a one-month IN
crease OF 5 per cent. Consumer
credit also was reported in
creasing.
Today's increase was the fiftf
since last April IA. when the
rate was moved up from l1a pei
cent for the first time in a year
BY November 1t was ga pei
