Cuban Neutrality

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. is
(AP).-Chile has dropped its
long-standing hands-off policy
toward Cuba as a result OF
President Jorge Alessandri's
visit to the United States,
Chile's biggest and most influ-
ential newspaper said today.
In an editorial commenting
on the joint statement issued
by Mr.. Alessandri and President
Kennedy after their Washing
ton talks this week, the inde-
pendent morning newspaper El
Mercurio said:
This declaration confirms
the change in our position
toward Cuba. 1t seems difficult
that Chile can continue now In
this sort Of third position in
which 1t placed itself about
Cuba"
Chile is one Of the five Latin
American countries still main
tanning diplomatic relations
with the Fidel Castro regime
The others are Bolivia. Brazil,
Mexico and Uruguay. Chile also
has the biggest trade exchange
with Cuba In Latin America. II
is expected TO reach about $l2
million dollars this year.
FL Murcurio said Mr.. Ales-
sandri's stand In his talks
with Mr.. Kennedy shows Chile
Is ready to support whole
heartedly the strong United

Fearful of Impact
The legislator, who serves as

mittee on Small Business and
Of the subcommittee on houS-

about the possible economic ef-

The Senator noted that In

voted down restrictive housing

the free enterprise system he
feels such measures should be
kept on a voluntary basis.

ton from winter sun and

Magic Glycerine
Plan to prune the evergreens
next week so as to have an
adequate supply of greens for
winter decorations. If the
stems are placed in a solution
u glycerine and % water for
a few hours, the leaves will
remain attractive for some
weeks and there will not be a
problem Of fallen needles.
Holly trees should be pruned
on one side this year, the op-
posite side next year If they
are to be compact and well
fruited.
House plants should be near
ing their dormant period and
feeding and excess watering
might well be avoided during
this rest period. The foliage
should be washed every two or
three weeks to remove the dust
that may clog the breathing
pores (Stomata). Giving them
a good shower in thC bathtub
is easier and will also tend to
flush out any accumulation Of
salts left by evaporation.
Avoid Spctting
Cold showers are best II
mites are a problem but for
African violets, gloxinias and
similar plants the water should
be tepid. Allow the plants to
dry in the bathtub before re-
turning to the window sill.
African violet leaves will spot
if exposed to sunlight before
the leaves are dry.
Gift certificates for plants,
roses, bulbs and other plant
materials not In ha delivarad
until planting time should be
ordered now. The suppliers will
send the recipient the certifi-
cate and then ship the plants
at the proper season. It's an
easy way to provide gifts for
plant lovers.
Don't forget to drain the pipe

With the holiday season
here. many are ready to turn
their attention to activities
other than the garden. How
ever, it is not too late to tuck
in the spring -flowering tulips
and other bulbs whenever the
soil is dry enough to be worked.
There are also the garden
tools to be stored, and we
should not forget to see that
all climbing roses and other
vines are securely fastened
to their supports. And, it is
time to spread the mulches on
rose, azalea, camellia and other
evergreen beds.
Tools should be cleaned and
oiled for winter storage. Rust
is their worst enemy and If
they are first cleaned with
kerosene and then rubbed with
an oily rag they will be well
protected. Now is the time also
for attention to tools that need
sharpening or repairing.
Drain Old Gas
Power tools might we'll be
sent to the shop for overhaul
and given any needed atten-
ton. If this is not on the
program then it is important
that the fuel tank and the
carburetors be drained this
is to avoid accommodating gum
that will cause the needle to
stick, or the channels through
which the fuel flows to be
clogged. Change the oil too.
The hose should be carefully
drained and then coiled and
stored so that kinks will not
develop.
The spray tanks and busters
should be emptied and If neces-
sary the tanks should be rinsed
several times to remove any
material that might clog the
nozzles next season. The
plunger, If leather. should be
softened with neatsfoot oil or
saddle soap.
Camellia beds and other
plants exposed to winter winds
might need protection. Snow
fence may not be the most
slightly material to use but is
effective and easy to put in
place. Burlap tackled to stakes

-NN~~
Every gardener is faced with
problems: when is the best time
to plant. transplant, fertilize,
prune, and other practices that
insure satisfactory results with
garden and lawn.
Very few know all the ans
wers. And, 1t is so easy to for
get the information received.
Thus most gardeners need
reference materials - books,
pamphlets and Horticulture
magazines that will not only
help to answer today's prob
lens but will also help to keep
abreast with change. These are
some of the reasons those seek
ing a suitable gift for the gar
dener might we'll consider books
and other sources of informa-
ton.
Regional Problem
Actually the field of pub
lished material that fits our
climate and soils for the be-
ginning gardener is rather lin
tied. The Star Garden Book is
the only one written for the
Washington area. The others
are written for major sections
Of the country and are not too
helpful in giving the proper
season for many garden prac-
tees. Also. there is considera-
BILE variation in the adaptable
ity of varieties of most kinds
Of plants, and certainly this is
a problem in buying for our
particular climate and soils.
However, there are several
books of interest to the serious
gardener. Wise Garden Ency-
clopedia is a handy reference
work that gives much infor-
nation in understandable Ian
guage. 1t has been revised every
few years and so is reasonably
up to date.
Another good general refer
ence book is Taylor's Encyclo-
pedia Of Gardening. The latter,
does give rather technical de-
scriptions Of plants which may
frighten some readers away.

green wallpaper and then sub
merge it in water. The water
holding capacity of the moss
keeps the green's fresh for a
longtime. Now I lay the founda-
ton on thicknesSes of news
paper in a spot where I can
work with ease. Everyone Il
hope) will wish to help. Cut
convenient pieces from the
gathered greens. Take a knit
ting needle or any substitute
and poke holes into the frame,
two in the center and two on
each side.
Take the clippings, one at a
time, and push them deep into
each hole and at a slant. Start
with the sides and finish with
the center. Repeat this, and
the frame soon fills and q
wreath is almost done.
Hang it from a stout string
or wire and begin the finishing
touches. The sides will prob
ably need filling in and the
open center may need a few
pieces here and there to make
it neat and precise. Lopsided
spots can now be corrected
and thin areas filled in.
Anything Goes
Decorate this fresh green cir
Gle with whatever you like best.
Use cones, holly, broad and
shiny magnolia leaves, snow
balls, shiny ornaments and ber-
ries or fruit. A touch of ribbon,
a red one for me, and you
have a handsomely decorated
door.
1t takes only a few minutes
to learn to make a wreath and
you will never foreget this
skill. I know of people who love
to make wreaths for friends
in parts of the country where
our Eastern evergreens are un-
usual and where this partic-
ular handmade gift is highly
cherished.

Informed sources report the
Soviet Union was still assem-
bling jet bombers in Cuba last
week but that there is evidence
the work stopped after a tough
United States warning.
Within a day or so United
States surveillance flights are
expected to show whether the
Russians are withdrawing the
IL-28 bombers which are capa-
BILE of carrying nuclear warheads
and have a 750-mile range.
The Pentagon was main
tanning an almost complete
blackout of news dealing with
surveillance results.
Washington sources said there
was some indication the work
of uncrating the bombers has
stopped. But they added that
fur her surveillance will be
necessary to show whether the
Russians are withdrawing the
planes under Soviet Premier
Khrushchev's agreement to re-
move all offensive weapons
from Cuba.
The informants said infor-
nation reached Washington
Saturday that while the Rus
slams were dismantling missile
bases, they were continuing to
uncrate and assemble the esti-
mated 20 or so IL-28s shipped
to Cuba.
President Kennedy was re.
ported to have been highly con-
cerned about the report which
in Dictated Mr.. Khrushchev
might be hedging on his part
of the crisis agreement.
On Sunday, according to the
sources, United States repre-
sentative John j. McCloy took
up the matter in New York
with Soviet Deputy Foreign
