Beetle Problem
Many gardens seemed free Of
serious damage by the Japa-
nese beetle in 1862 and the
gardeners may assume that
this pest is on its way out.
The dry soil was most favorable
last fall for the survival of
the eggs and so we should be
geared TO fight. Soil treatment
In the spring with chlordane
is likely to give the most i'm
mediate control. The Milky
Spore disease is slower acting
but longer lasting. Scatter them
broadcast, the latter on a
cloudy day, and water in so
that they will reach the grubs
quickly.
Some gardeners who set out

pointed in the subsequent
growth and Towering. Plants
set in peat pots must be kept
well watered so that the walls
Of the peat pots will be soft
enough for roots 10 penetrate
Lacking in moisture the roots
cannot push through and
either are confined for the
season or have to come out
Of the tops. The best rule Is
10 examine the pots a week

Spider Mites
Many gardeners suffered
more injury from the red spider
mites, leafhoppers and laceflies
In 1862 than In recent years.
These pests have q much
shorter hfe-cycle in hot dry
weather, consequently multiply
faster and under such condi-
tions plants suffer more. Fre-
quent hard showers which
normally destroy many OF them
we're lacking. The best control
Is q spring application OF dime
thoate or a similar systemic
material.

THIS WEEK IN
YOUR GARDEN

Colorful Xmas plants may
be enjoyed much longer if
given a little care. The Christ
mas poinsettia needs lots Of
water, a sunny situation
and protection from chilling
draughts.
The Christmas azalea and
cyclamen need a cool situation
when not on display. Give them
plenty Of water but do not let
water stand in their saucers.
The begonia is tolerant but
does want watering whenever
the soil in the pot begins to
approach the dry side.
Both the azalea and the
cyclamen need a cool situation
II they are to last the several
weeks Of which they are capa-
BILE. The cyclamen will wilt
down II the temperature goes
much above rs degrees.
Catalogues Due
The 1868 seed and plant
catalogues will soon be here
with ell Of their attractive IL
Illustrations and glowing descrip-
tions. Better have q plan ready
for the 1868 garden and then
buy to fill the particular spots
that will produce the maximum
Of beauty and supply Of cutting
material.
In the rush Of the holidays
1t is always easy to overlook
house plants. With the dry at
mosphere they are likely to
need q bit more watering than
normal. But don't fill q saucer
and expect it to take care of
them. The standing water will
be absorbed by the soil and
the lower portion will be water
logged which means rotted
roots. An hour or two should
be ample for the up-take and
then the saucer should be
emptied.
Check Constantly
The dahlia and Gamma tubers
take constant checking at this
season. II dahlias are starting
to shrivel dampen the storage
media but slightly. II they seem
too moist spread them out to
dry for a few days. Dry rot
is the most common problem
with the cannas-they will need
extra checking to make GER
tain they are not too dry.
Those spring-flowering bulbs
that did not get into the ground
should be kept very cool until
the soil dries sufficiently for
planting. The blubs must 20
into the ground since it is al
most impossible to carry them
over for a year. If there is
no other way fill q box with
dirt and plant them in it. Place
the box outside on the ground
and mound leaves up over it.

Anything that will increase the

Also, the deep digging in

is to get an ample supply and

More than $4,000 Army civil
ian employees will be affected
by Army's new reorganization.
These employees will be
transferred to new commands
in the coming months. Many
will go to the new Defense
Supply Agency. Some jobs also
will be transferred to the new
Defense Intelligence Agency
and the Defense Atomic Sup
port Agency.
Some Job cuts are also ex-
pected. Undersecretary of Army
Stephen Allies recently told the
House Civil Service Manpower
subcommittee that the shake
up will result in some job re-
ductions. But he didn't say how
many or whether any layoffS
will be necessary.
1.-THE Army can't guarantee
that no employe will be ad-
versely affected by reorganiza-
tion," Mr.. Allies said. "But we
can guarantee that Wen dc
everything possible to assure
minimum disruption of careers
of civilians and their rights will
be fully honored."
Not many layoffs are ex-
pected, since attrition is ex-
pected to asorb all or most Of
job reductions. However, many
employees viii get new duties
or have their jobs transferred
to new units or locations.
The Army's major changes
include a new office Of person
mel operations which will take
over the operating functions
of the deputy chief Of staff for
personnel; functions of the
chief Of civil affairs will be
transferred to the deputy chief
of staff for military operations;
the office of personnel opera

manded for France greater
measure of control over use of
nuclear weapons by the West
as q whole. At this stage it is
understood. Britain and the
United States are offering to
consult with the NATO council
before using nuclear weapons
not only in Europe but any
where in the world. And it is
only French obstructionism that
prevents this major step toward
q coherent Western policy in
an all important area.
In q number of other fields
as well. the attitude Of the
French delegation-and possibly
some others-seems likely to
provoke q considerable argu-
ment during the coming ses-
sion. In the course of q routine
review Of the general world sit
uation. some of the recent
American moves toward a Ber-
lin agreement may meet with
heated criticism.
See Guarantees as Trap
This applies particularly to
the suggestion for exchange of
mutual guarantees Of non-ag-
gression between NATo and
the Communist Warsaw Pact
which repeatedly came up dur
ing the Washington talks be-
tween United States Secretary
Of State Rusk and Russian
Ambassador Dobrynin. Some
NATO members consider that
such an exchange would
amount to little more than a
dangerous trap giving the Com
munists ideal propaganda
weapons against the military
development of the West and
sapping the resolution Of the
alliance to the advantage of
the Warsaw group.
In view Of these impending
difficulties, most observers ex-
pect modest results from this
meeting. In fact. If q major
explosion can be avoided one
gathers that many delegates
would consider the spring con-
ference as something of a sue
cess.
At the same time, one can
hardly help feeling that some
how all will turn out all right

has a long record of defying
dire predictions that proceed

The steel settlement forced
by Mr.. Kennedy hardly puts
him in q position where he
could sign a sizable pay-raise
bill for Federal classified and
postal employees while demand
ing an anti-inflationary wage
price policy from industry and
labor.
Consequently, it's expected
that Mr.. Kennedy would veto
any sizable Federal and postal
employe raise. And there's no
chance Of Congress overriding
the veto. MIR. Kennedy is q
Democrat and this is a Demo-
cratic Congress, whose mem
bers depend on the White House
to a considerable extent for
patronage. Federal buildings
and post offices, river and har-
bors projects, roads, etc.
Mr.. Kennedy still is insisting
on his pay proposal which
would give minor raises to rank
and-file employees and big
raises to top-bracket employees.
Administration officials justify
big pay raises for top careerists
on the grounds that 1t would
mot be inflationary because it
would merely bring these sal
aries UP to comparable industry
pay.
But the vote-conscious Con-
gress Is not likely to approve
big pay raises for the top
brackets and give only crumbs
to the popuIous lower-grade
employees. e
Consequently. some kind OF
compromise viii have to be
worked out between Congress
and the White House If lower
grade employees are to get any
