Sycamore Trees
Hard Hit by
Anthrucnose

For some reason the die-back
and general deterioration of the
sycamore trees here, due in
most cases to the disease an
thracnose, is much more no
ticeable this year.
Anthracnose has been a Sc
rious disease of the native syca-
more for some 80 or 40 years.
The disease can be controlled
by spraying in the early spring
but the necessary equipment is
beyond the reach of most gar
denerS.
The District, when funds and
personnel permitted, combat
ted the disease.
The London plane tree, the
European form of the Ameri-
can Sycamore, seemingly is
immune to the anthracnose di-
sease. For this reason it is be-
ing used by the District in GER
tain areas and should be con-
sidetIed by the home gardener
If he has a place for a large
tree.

The ground was getting rath-

Gated either that the soil lacked

or that the grass, because of
soil compaction, was very shall

to the necessity Of watching

applying water where needed

it is important to apply the

Speaking Of heavy feeding, "
most gardeners prefer not to

QUESTION BOX
FOR GARDENERS

From Mrs. o. A. B., 7414
Aspen avenue, Takoma Park
IL, Md.-How can I rid my
garden of SOW bugs and other
worms that are not controlled
with slug bats? Our brick re-
tanning walls in the garden
are getting green with moss or
mold, how can it be removed? =?
The window sills where we feed
the birds and squirrels in the
winter have an offensive odor,
how can it be removed? Answer
-Dusting the area where the
sow bugs and worms are nu-
merous with chlordane dust
should remove them quickly.
The brick retaining wall might
be cleaned by spraying with
sulphur, washing with a strong
soap solution, or better still
remove the soil back of the
wall so that they will dry out
and then seal to prevent mois-
ture from again percolating
through the brick. Am afraid
the window sill is not in my
department, perhaps a reader
will write you?

From j. j. G.. 1920 South
Joyce street. Aurora Hills, Ar
lington 2, Vain a weak mo-
ment planted woodbine and
honeysuckle along the back
fence, now it has overgrown
everything along the fence. Our
porch is screened completely
but something eats the pits
out of wildcherry seeds at
night? Answer-The woodbine
and honeySuckle can be cleaned
out by painting the stems with
a mixture of three parts 2,4-D
and one part fuel oil. This may
be applied to the stems near
the ground line. A mixture of
2,4-D and 2,4,5-T would prob
ably do better than the 2,4-D
alone. The night time intruder
could be a tiny mouse, or pos
sibly a small flying squirrel
no other nocturnal rodent could
chew through the shells.
From Mrs. E. c., 5410 North
Bluemont drive, Arlington, Va.
The inclosed leaves are from
a dogwood that was planted
three years ago. Water drains
into hole very slowly, tried
boring holes for aeration and
also for feeding? Answer-The
tree probably has few roots
since the leaves are very small
and indicate complete lack of
vigor. The planting hole must
be drained or the tree planted
in a raised bed. No amount of
feeding will take the place of
the air needed by the roots.
This condition applies not only
to dogwoods but all other
plants.
From L. P. r., 10016 Lorain
avenue, Silver Spring, Md
What tree do you recommend
for the front of a home COM
bining fast growth and light
shade? Do you recommend a
Morafne locust? Answer-Euro-
pean white birch, Scarlet oak,
Mimosa, etc. I do not recon-
mend the Moraine Thornless
Honeylocust unless you are
willing to buy a power sprayer
to protect it from the mimosa
webworm.
From Miss E. S., 3103 Daw-
son avenue, Silver Spring, Md.
The leaves on my Towering
ounce turn yellow and drop.
busting with an all-purpose
rose dust does no good? Answer
The leaves show definite
signs of iron deficiency. Sug-
gest you try some "chellated
iron" on the ground, scratching
it lightly into the soil. Probably
a bit of your rose fertilizer
would help.
From Capt. r. J. C. M, 532
Great Falls street, Falls
Church, Va.-The leaves of a
newly planted weeping cherry
are apparently being attacked
by some pest, perhaps disease?
Answer-One leaf apparently
affected with leaf spot which
should be controlled by the all
purpose spray. The holes may
be caused by several kinds of
beetles. Suggest continuing the
spray program. There is one
other possible condition-could
the tree be planted too deep?

In America the public and
particularly the members OF
trade unions have not be-
come aware Of all the skull
duggery that goes on to make
unions instruments of auto
cratic power. Today, more
over, as trade unions finance
the campaigns Of many mem
bers of Congress or pay some
of them big fees for lectures
and speeches throughout the
year, it is evident that more
and more political influence
is being exerted by a few
trade-union leaders. 1t is a

and not a divided labor
movement"
Unfortunately, the Govern
ment of the United States
has not asserted itself in re-
cent years to apply the same
rules to trade unions that it
applies to industry. The labor
unions are free to engage in
monopoly and indirectly in
price-fixing, yet employers
can be sent to jail for Of
fenSes in that category of
business activity.
The problem is not peculiar
to the United States.
Great Britain lately has been
struggling with a Communist
infiltrated union in the elec-
trical trades. The cumulative
effect of press and television
exposure has led to the ex-
pulsion of this particular un-
ion of nearly 100000 mem
bers, first by the Trades Un-
ion Congress and then by the
Labor Party. Now the union
has itself broken the grip of
the Communists on its lead
ership by electing non-Com-
munists to nine of its II ex-
ecutive posts.
1T has evidently been
borne in upon them at last"
says a London Times editori-
al. that more was at stake

choice of capable negotiatorS

End of the TruiiIIO Regime Is Termed
Lesson for Us in Dealing With Evil

The first clear-cut and
tough-minded United States
diplomatic victory in this
hemisphere in a very long
time has cleared the far
right-wing Trujillo family
from the Dominican Republic.
1t has ended a dangerous
power vacuum which had in
vited an ultimate seizure
there by pro-Communists
from the far left.
The various Trujillos are
the immediate losers. But a
greater loser in the end should
be Fidel Castro in Cuba. 1t
was the violent right-wing
despotiSm in Cuba of its old
boss, Fulgencio Batista, which
created conditions so intol-
cradle as to open the way for
Castro's left-wing rebellion in
the first place.
The similarly violent des-
potism of the Trujillos in
the Dominican Republic was
water on Castro's wheel as
well-in spite of the fact
that he had long since per-
verted his movement into a
mere stooge operation for
Soviet imperialism.
For the poor and ignorant
in Latin America have known
more Trujillos than tin-pot
Khrushchevs such as Castro.
And so they have feared the
devil they knew far more than
the infinitely worse devil, the
devil of Communist dictator
ship, they did not know.
But the fact that we, the
United States. have at last
won one complete triumph in
Latin America is only one
thing. What we do with this
triumph, and how we look at
it. is quite another thing.
For the simple truth is that
President Joaquin Balaguer
has been able to hold a re-
sponsible and decent govern
ment together in the Domin-
ican Republic only with the
aid of what used to be called
American gunboat diplom-
acy." We put warships and
aircraft carriers offshore
within sight of the country's
capital of Ciudad Trujillo.
And nobody here made the
slightest effort to conceal that
we meant to use them-and
the Marines, too-if neces-
sary.
Had such an action been
taken against Castro Cuba.
or even been thought of
against any left-wing Latin
American regime, the air
would be leaping now with

meeting even to discuss the
menace which Castro poses
to us all.
The lesson for the United
States is plain. In the Do
minicsn Republic we rightly
accepted the responsibility
laid upon us as the greatest
power in this hemisphere to
end a danger to the COM
mon peace. The hour must
soon come, however-unless,
hopefully. Castro himself
brings Castro down-when we
accept the same responsible
ity as to Cuba, even if it
means more than gunboats.
Evil is evil. And danger
to the common peace is dan
ger to the common peace,
whether from a Trujillo or
a Castro. The United States
Government cannot shirk its
duty because other powers
prefer not to see that threats
from Castros are at least as
real as threats from Trujil-
los. ....
