lonely stretches Of highway and
engage unwary Chinese truck
conveys in short but incentive
skirmishes before retreating.
Bridges are blown up and gaso-
line dumps attacked.
The long-range success of
these attacks is unknown but
similar tactics denied the Chi
nese use for several years of
one highway they built into
Tibet. Since the Lhasa upris-
ing the guerrillas have been
considerably weakened by
Chinese counterattacks and
depletion of supplies. They are
therefore not expected to con-
tinue large-scale resistance in
definitely. Casualties have been
reported extremely heavy.
Hostages Used
Tibetan sources say the Chi
neSe have used Tibetan women
and children as hostages re-
Gently. The women and chill
dren are herded ahead of the
Chinese as a shield during ad-
vances.
Meanwhile the Chinese are
continuing to strengthen their
forces in Tibet. Most towns are
reported to have garrisons of
between 1000 and 1000 troops,
with villages garrisoned by 25
to so men.
Knowledgeable sources also
say the Chinese have removed
about $420 million dollars
worth of valuables from Tibet's
two principal cities, Lhasa and
ShigatSe, and from the four
main monaSterieS there.
The treasures include lew

Norway Maple
From Mrs. James B. Amerson

From Mrs. James B. AnerSon
6151 WeStcheSter drive Sc.
The inclosed leaf is from a
Norway maple we purchased
last fall. 1t looks more like the
leaves from some of the bushy
trees we see, can you identify
it for me?
AnSDer
The leaf is small for a Nor
way maple but the shape is
typical, believe the confusion
comes from the fall planting
(spring is best for naples, and
from the lack of adequate roots
to match the top-the root
systems of trees from the nurs-
cry are small and the top
should have been severely cut
back to compensate for loss of
roots.
The Norway maple is a tall
grower and of medium rapid
growth. Suggest you fertilize
and water, if needed, during
the summer to make up for the
inadequate root system until
the trees are well established.

QUESTION BOX
FOR GARDENERS

mend digging these bulbs and
moving them to another loca-
ton?
AnSDer
The bulbs you inclosed with
your letter have rotted and are
of little or no use. Suggest you
dig those still in the ground,
and if any are free from rot,
that you store them until fall
and replant in an area where
standing water will not spoil
them. The bulbs we plant are
as free Of disease as careful
inspection can assure, but if
planted in a wet soil will soon
rot.

From Mrs. Virginia Hall

Bethesda II, Nd.
Will Zoysia be able to COM
pete with that horrible tall
fescue which has ruined our
lawn?
AnSDer
Zoysia is a strong grower
and will eventually crowd out
the tall fescue; however, the
competition will slow down the
spread of the Zoysia. Suggest
you spot treat with dalapon
and that will reduce the COM
petition. Another method
which I have heard of but not
tried. spray the lawn with
dalapon and then. after q
week or 10 days, flood the lawn
to wash out the dalapon.
