Some gardeners buy ground
corncobs, but the tendency Is to
have them too finely pulverized.
The coarser material is less
likely to cake during the heat Of

Buckwheat hulls are attractive
and do not cake. but they are
light and should not be used in
exposed situations where summer
breezes may blow them over into
the neighbors yard.
Coverings for Beds
Chopped hay. leafmold from

may be obtained in some areas
and all make good covering for
rose and chrysanthemum beds

The most widely used mulch
Is probably peatmoss. 1t shoult

TO prevent washing or blowine

The same applies TO the finely

 Marines in Japan

YOKOSUKA, Japan, R-The US. Navy yesterday ordered gen. eral court-martial trials for two US. marines accused of mistreat- ing Navy prisoners at Sasebo, Japan, and trials before special courts-martial for 13 others, in cluding Glenn w. Fredericks, 21, Anchorage.
 The two men facing general courts-martial 3held positions of responsibility as brig wardens," :" said the Navy announcement. The 14 other marines involved were guards at the Sasebo brig, $50 miles west of Tokyo.
 Charges against the marines were signed by their own com mander, Maj. Haskell c. Baker of Atlanta, Ga, who commented in the investigation report that "all incidents reported as findings did, in fact, occur"
 The accused men appealed by letter to Rep. James P. s. Dever- eux R-MO, retired marine hero of Wake Island, to investigate their case.
 The letter claimed that 'Sthe statements that all the witnesses have made against us are greatly exaggerated and untrue"
 *
 It was disclosed yesterday that the 16 marine brig guards have also appealed to President Eisen- hover for re-investigation of charges they abused Navy pris- oners at Sasebo.

BY AMELIA YOUNG

A seven-year campaign for a
Fort Davis branch library seems
close to success.
Yesterday the National Capt.
tai Planning Commissions CO.
ordinating committee condition
ally approved transfer of park
property next to Anne Beers
School for the library use.
Although the project already
had the support of the District
Commissioners and has been in
cluded in the District library
budget since 1855, it has been
stymied by lack of a proper
building site.
The Fort Fairfax Vii
lage Library Association, COM
posed of IS civic. church and
educational organizations, has
been asking for this park-owned
tract near Thirty-seventh street
and Alabama avenue Sc. for
some time.
The planning commission,
which must pass on any transfer
of Federal land, decided last
week to send the request to the
co-ordinating committee, COM
posed Of staff technicians from
various city and Federal agen-
cies. oHsee If the transfer posed
any practical problems. 1t was
understood at that time that, il
the co-ordinating committee APP
proved, a mail poll of planning
commission members would be
taken on the question.
At the meeting, however, a de-
cision was made that the matter
also should be checked by an
other advisory group, the Rec
reation Co-ordinating Commit
tee. This group meets monthly
to discuss any development plans
