Bernard Buruch
Is 81, Discusses
u. S. Past, Future

NEW YORK, Aug. 19 (AP)
Bernard Baruch is 81 years
old today. Weather permitting
one of the things he planned
was a swim in the pool at his
Westbury, Long Island, estate
The financier began yester-
day with a swim, then drove
into the city where he chatted
with newsmen about the Ma
tion's past and its future.
Only once did his smile fade
and then only briefly. That
was when a newsman used Mr.,
Baruch's legendary title-"Ad-
wiser to Presidents"
Don't refer to that again, u
he said.
Then, with a laugh, he re-
called that somebody had once
said Either Baruch gives
lousy advice or they don't lis
ten to him"
Mr.. Baruch served as chair
man of the War Industries
Board in World War I under
President Wilson and has
known all President since.
He described the newly es-
tablished Peace Corps as
worthwhile trying" adding:
Il would never throw cold
water on the desire of young
people to be helpful"
Mr.. Baruch, United States
representative to the United
Nations Atomic Energy Com
mission in 1916, lamented the
possibility that mankind, de-
spite its accomplishments, faced
the possibility that nuclear
power could send it from cos
mos to chaos"
What birthday present would
he treasure most?
", Peace coming to the
world" he said. II hope to live
to see It,"

Greek Economy Finally
Is Showing Recovery

ATHENS, Greece, Aug. l9
(AP).-The Greek economy, one
of the last in Europe to re-
cover from World War II, is
looking up.
Greeks are getting over the
feeling they must hoard gold
and are turning to savings
banks. Ship owners are trans
ferring vessels to the blue and
white Greek flag.
A five-year development plan
is building up industrial capac-
ity and attracting foreign in
veStors. More and more tour
lists are coming to Greece and
its islands. The government's S
gold and foreign exchange
holdings are up.
Per capita output in 1857 was
$127. In 1860 it was 1855.
Still the picture is not COM
pletely bright. With just over
8 million population, Greece
has a relatively high rate of
unemployment-110,00O regis
tered jobless and probably as
many more unregistered.
Agriculture in Trouble
The agricultural economy
more than half of the Greek
population lives off the land
is in trouble continually. To-
bacco and other farm products
are running into competition
on export markets. Rural in
come is still barely above the
subsistence level.
Much Of the credit for Greek
recovery belongs to the United
States, which has poured more
than 81 billion into Greece in
aid. Credit also goes to the
Greeks themselves and the
stability provided by Premier
Constantine Caramanlis, who
has governed Greece for more
than five years. Before Mr.,
Caramanlis, Greece had one
government crisis after another.
Evening star., 1961-08-19

His fiscal policies have inspired
confidence in the drachma al
home and abroad. 1t is now
partially convertible. Deposits
in banks increased five-fold
between 1856 and 1860.
Five-Year Plan Pushed
Caramanlis is pushing a five
year plan, started in 1860. The
scheme calls for public and
private investment of $3.7 bill
lion. Much of it will be used for
irrigation, identification, trans
port, communications and de-
velopment of basic mining and
industrial projects.
The idea is to create 100000
new jobs and double private
industrial investment by the
end of 1864. The plan also seeks
to get farmers to diversity
crops.
One development is Greece's
association with the European
Economic Market, promising
better trade relations with
Western Europe. In 1862 Greece
will get $125 million from the
European Investment bank.
Debts of Long Standing
Greece'S continued refusal to
settle pre-World War II for
eign public debts still troubles
this country's international &C.
onomic relations. Some of the
debts go back to the 18th CEN
tury. Money is owed to British,
French and United States in
terestS. Greek officials feel
many of the debts were &C
cumulated in periods when
Greece was forced to accept
unfavorable and unfair terms.
Greece is the only non-Com-
munist country not to have
done anything about its pre-
war debt. AS a result, it can
not get loans from the World
Bank.

Tiros Ill Spots
Pacific Storms
BY the Associated Press

TiroS III, peeking down from
space, has discovered two new
Pacific Ocean storms which
blew up beyond the range of
land and sea weather observa-
tion stations.
The Weather Bureau said
the hurricane-hunting satel-
lite photographed the new
storms in their infancy Thurs
day about 500 miles south and
southeast of Hawaii. No indi-
cation of the storms had been
received from other sources.
The Weather Bureau said
neither is a major storm at
this point, and the area where
they developed seldom breeds
hurricanes.

Pacific Trouble Spot
Seen in Timor Island

TTMOR ISLAND, Aug. Is
(AP) This wind-swept Pacific
island shared by Portugual
and Indonesia may become
Southeast Asia's next trouble
spot.
The primitive Timorese are
showing restlessness in the
eastern part of the island con-
trolled by the Portuguese
Many are fleeing over rocky
mountains to the Indonesian
sector where they are welcomed
as blood d-brothers.
Hard-riding Portuguese cav
airy units patrol the mountain
border in an attempt to cut of
the flight of refugees.
The Portuguese, who coloni-
allied Timor four centuries ago
are showing a determination
to hang on to the colony that
they insist is an integral part
of Portugal itself.
Harsh Measures Reported
Refugees arriving in Atam-
bua, the main border town on
the Indonesian side of the is
land, say harsh repressive
measures have been taken
since an abortive uprising early
in 1850.
Portuguese authorities tell
visitors the Timorese have no
desire to change their "natu-
raj" way of life. And life for
the natives has changed little
over the centuries. despite the
faint fires of independence be-
ing fannd by a few intellec-
tuals."

Treat Mulch

Treat woodchips and other

dane before using them as a
mulch near the foundation.
Such materials are a favorite
food for termites and it is an
easy step for the termites from
the mulch through some tiny
crack in the foundation wall
to the wood in the house. A
chlordane solution such as l
part Of a 1870 emulsion to 90
parts of water can be used to
soak the materials before ap-
plying, and will last up to 10
years, An application to an
already spread mulch is less
likely to give such lasting pro-
lection. Any of the chlordane
materials offered for sale may
be used but the emulSions have
the backing of the specialists

ture.-YOUNGMAN.

Many of the gardens in tht
Washington area show the
combined effects of dryneSs anc
of high temperatures. The re-
cent fall flower shows also re-
fleet this condition.
High temperatures are also
slowing down fall garden work
and some activities are ap-
preaching the too late for
safety phase. 1t is not too late
to SOW the seed Of the perma-
nent grasses, nor is it too late
to set out the broad-leaved ev-
ergreens and the conifers if
the job is well done and the
plants are given normal care
after planting.
Bulb planting should be done
as rapidly as time will permit.
The planting of small pre-
ennials might better be in a
cold-frame than in the border
in the more exposed areas.

that by spring the material will
be thoroughly broken down.
Corn stalks, dahlia stalks and
other coarse materials might
well be chopped up a bit before
spading in order to control the
corn borer and other pests that
normally spend the winter in
such stalks.

judging by the show of the

may be because the smaller

BY BILL YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

Now that the Japanese
beetles have almost disap-
peared from the rose garden
there is a tendency to forget
them until next spring. This is
tc ignore the destructive work
that they engage in for the
next nine months = feeding
upon the grass roots of our
lawns and pastures. Also, to
ignore them now is to overlook
the easiest and most effective
means Of combating the greedy
eaters. And they are greedy,
feeding upon some $50 differ
ent kinds of plants during the
summer time, but primarily
upon grass roots during the
fall and winter.
The fall and winter applica-
tions Of chlordane and milky
Spore disease to the lawn is
definitely easier than keeping
q protective coating on the
foliage and fruits of our trees
and shrubs, including the roses.
Such a protective coating is
put on every week to 10 days
from late June to mid-AuguSt,
and rose buds must be busted
every morning if the beetles
are to be kept out of their
favorite food. One application
OF one or both of these ma
terials to the soil is certainly
a simple chore compared to
the summer time program.
Chlordane and DDT
Chlordane is considered the
best Of the soil treatments al
though Endrin is also listed as
an effective material. Chlcr-
dane is toxic to more insects
than DDT but does not have
the long life of DDT. However,
DOT is toxic to some plants
while chlordane is safe in this
respect.
Approximately eight ounces
of actual chlordane are recon-
mended for each 1,00G square |
feet Of area. This works out to
five pounds of 10 per cent dust,
10 pounds of S per cent dust, or
six tablespoons Of a u per cent |
emulsion lin 4 gal. Of water) . !
Water this material into the |
soil Immediately after applica-
ton so that no possible harm
can come to anything or any,
one walking or playing on the
area.
Chlordane is not a long last
ing material such as DDT but
can be depended upon to kill
the grubs in the soil for 3 to
5 years.
The milky Spore disease
which was developed during
the fight to equip our area to
fight the Japanese beetles is a
disease that attacks only the
beetles. By sprea ding it
through our soils we should |
have a permanent protection.
Apparently this is not always
the case because following the
severe drought of 1859 we seem
to have a greater number of |
beetles attacking our gardens.
However, it is a good material |
one that we should apply to all |
turf areas as one more tool to
keep tn beetles under control.
It is sold under various trade
