Willow

From Mrs. R. G. B., Manas-
sas: Our willows are infested
with bugs that seem to be i'm
mune to our sprays. What are
they and how can they be con-
trolled? Our boxwoods are
turning a yellowish color. An
swer: You failed to mention the
material used to combat them.
Suggest you use the malathion-
methoxychlor mixture, which is
effective on a great many in
Sects. The Ortho mixture is
even more effective. If these
do not kill the insects. sug-
gest you take a sample to the
County Agents office in Fair
fax. The lockwood has probably
suffered from drought injury, is
free from signs of insect injury,
and may only need protection
from winter winds.

AzuIeus

From Mrs. NJ. A. S., 5O35 Full
ton st. NV. What may be done
to save this azalea, twigs en-
closed, which seems to be grad
ually dying? Answer: The twigs
show no drought injury, practi-
cally no insect injury and are
not chlorotic. Suggest checking
it for depth Of planting. 1t may
have settled too deeply into the
soil. While not showing chlorotic
symptoms, believe it advisable
to apply iron such as "green
garde." In the spring an appli.
cation of fertilizer should be
helpful.

beds. Such beds should be from
II to Is inches in height and
may be enclosed in wood, metal
or masonry walls. Masonry and
metal supported beds are less
likely to dry out than wooden
ones. This can be an important
factor If the beds are only 2 feet
or less in width. In other words,
narrow beds that tend to dry
out require almost c constant
watering.

November is the recommend
ed time for the planting Of roses
in the Washington area. Not
only do we have ample time to
prepare the beds or planting
holes but we also have a better
opportunity of obtaining the de-
sired varieties. Also, roses
planted at this season will have
an ample supply Of feeder roots
which viii enable the bush to
make strong spring growth.
The standard recommends
ton of the rose nurseryman, of
the lobbyist and in rose text
books is to dig (excavate) to a
depth Of IS to "a inches and to
refill with the soil fully enriched
with compost, sphagnum peat
moss, bonemeal and a bit Of
lpulveriZe d limestone. This
methods inSures an adequate
moisture supply In a soil that
has been hghtened in texture
and enriched with slow-acting
plant food. The lime, Of course,
is to reduce the acidity of the
soil since roses thrive best in
one that is only slightly acid.
Such a rose bed does produce
strong growth because Of the
large root systems possible in
well-prepared soil.
Test Proves Value
The use Of sphagnum peat
moss in rose bed preparation
can hardly be over-emphasized.
Some years ago a study of this
was made at Ithaca, N. Y, and
beds which contained so per
cent by volume Of sphagnum
peatmoSs showed remarkable
superiority over those with les
ser amounts.
Bed preparation presumes
normal subsurface drainage in
a sunny situation free from in
vading tree roots. All too often,
however, the garden is lacking
in one or more Of these ideal
characteristics. Too often, the
soils have been given the bull
dozer treatment and have little |
or no subsurface drainage. Thus
the first step in preparing the
bed is to check to see If it is
lacking in this essential charac-
teristic. A small hole should be
dug to the depth Of 1924 inches,
filled with water and its perco-
lation into the soil noted. If it
takes more than "a hours to dis
appear into the soil then steps
should be taken to provide ade-
quate drainage. |
Gravel Method
A. If the area Of compaction |
is fairly shallow, deep digging !
may restore the subsurface
drainage. Only spade or SHOW
ell can determine whether or
not this will work in a particular
situation. II it can be done, how
ever, two or three outlets or
holes should be dug and filled
with gravel to insure maximum
drainage. Perhaps a 4 to 6 inch
layer Of gravel in the bottom Of
the bed will further expedite the
drainage. 1t may be noted here
that such a layer Of gravel
should be covered with weeds
or grass or some other material
to prevent the soil washing in
and filling the spaces in the
gravel.
Drain Tile Method
B. If the subSurface drainage
seems too difficult for the meth
cd outlined in "a" a tile drain
may be laid from the bottom Of
the bed to some nearby outlet.
Common clay tile are normally
used for this purpose. The slope
need not be more than 6 inches
in a 100 feet.
Raised Bed Method
C. When neither deep digging
nor tile drains are feasible, the
roses may be planted in raised

Privacy Right
Being Tested
By DONALD HIRZEL
star SAT- Writer

When a person enters a tele-
phone booth. places a dime in
the slot and makes a call, is
that call a private matter or
can 1t be monitored? Can in
formation obtained be used
against the person in a court
Of law?
These questions in basic
constitutional law yesterday
we're dropped into the lap Of
Judge Harry L. Walker in the
Court Of General Sessions.
Judge Walker said he would
announce a decision later.
The case in question involves
Mrs. Flossie Madison, 81, Of
the 400 block Eads Street NE,
an employe of the Internal
Revenue Service.
She was arrested in May
after Internal Revenue Service
agents. believing she was
phoning numbers bets from a
public telephone booth in the
IRIS building. placed a mont
toring device in the booth.
They claim they learned she
was placing bets by telephone.
In a pre-trial hearing, the
defense attorney asked that the
charge against the woman of
operating lottery be dismissed
on grounds that information
leading to the arrest was OBJ
tanned illegally.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff in
District Court ruled that a
telephone booth is a place of
public accommodation and does
not give the user the right of
privacy as in a private resi-
dence.
Later, the charge against
Mrs. Madison was reduced from
operating a lottery to possess
sion of lottery slips, a INSIDE
meanor.
The case was referred to the
Court of General Sessions
where. at the pre-trial hearing
yesterday, Attorney William B.
Bryant argued that the tele-
phone booth when occupied and
in use by person constitutes
private property.
He said placing a hearing
device in the booth was the
same as placing a tape recorder
or wire-tap in a hotel room.
both Of which have been ruled
illegal in higher courts.
Allen Palmer, United States
attorney, argued that to invade
privacy the lines of commune
cation must be tapped. He
said in this case a monitoring
receiver was concealed under
the shelf in the phone booth
and was in no way linked to
the telephone lines.

Suved
From Armed
Abductor

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. Is
(AP) A pretty 2-year-old girl
was rescued by police last night
nearly two hours after she was
abducted from her father.
Little Kelley Brilliant was
unframed. although officers
wounded Thomas Burtram Pen
dleton in the wrist as he tried
to flee after they cornered him
in an Eastside neighborhood.
Every available police unit
and officers from the FBI,
State Crime Bureau, highway
patrol, sheriff's office and
police from nearby towns
swarmed around a four-block
area after a woman reported a
man carrying shotgun lead
ing a little girl by the hand
down an alley.
Police said the girls father,
Henry Brilliant, gave this &C
count:
He and Kelley had stopped
at a restaurant To pick up food
to take home. AS they re-
turned to the car, a man with
shotgun was waiting for
them.
HE told me, Get in you
;" Mr.. Brilliant said, land
he pointed the gun at me-"
The man ordered Mr.. Bril-
liant to drive around for about
10 minutes, then stopped the
car. took Mr.. Brilliant's wrist
watch and forced him from the
car. Mr.. Brilliant said the man
told him:
IF you want to see this kid
alive again, have $1,000 for me
by midnight. If you don't I'll
blow her head off"
Mr.. Brilliant notified Off
GERS, and about IS minutes
later the man was reported
going down an alley. Police
Sergt. Joe Donnell Immediately
started directing officers in
closing off the area.

ANU Announces
 New Scholarships

Charles R. Allen, develop ment officer at Alaska Metho- dist University, announced that the Sears Roebuck Foundation has established a $1,000 schol- arship award at ANU. The amount is to be awarded equal ly to two students each year, with preference being given to Alaskan residents.
 MT. Harold EllerS, manager for Sears-Roebuck in Alaska, said, By beginning this sch olarship at Alaska Methodist University, the Sears-Roebuek Foundation intends to provide greater opportunity for out standing young people to de- velop their potential for aca- demic achievement and com munity leadership
 Dr. Fred P. McGinnis, Presi- dent of the University, ack- nowledged the grant and said, This initial grant on the part of the Sears -Roebuek Founda- tion will certainly provide ad- ded incentive for deserving students to seek a college edu- cation at Alaska Methodist University"

The period of Aug. II through Sept 8 has been pro- claimed by Governor Egan as Alaska Farm Month.
 This years Alaska Farm Month is the eighth campaign to promote the sale and the use of AlaSka's farm products.
 "Alaska's farm production has become big business" >" said Sigmund H. Restad. director of the Alaska division of agrl= culture in Palmer "A farm s health is the states wealth, he declared.
 Last year the sale of Alaskan potatoes alone amounted to S635, 900. Cabbage totaled $32,- 500, and carorts $59.000. Crisp Alaska lettuce sales brought in $l13,000, and the total of the 18th States other vegetables came to S27, ,000
 The thirty-day period select ed each year for Alaska Farm Month parallels the high pro- duction weeks on the states dairy farms. It also embraces the dates of the four agrlcultur- al fairs; the Tanana Valley Fair and August 15 through IS, the Homer Fair August B through %, the Alaska State Fair at Palmer August 30 thro- ugh September 2. and the Min ilchik Fair September : and g.
 There is a triple play in con- nection with Alaska Farm Month, Restad said. The local merchants are able to buy the plentiful, fresh products at req sonable costs to them. The To- cal farmer is able to sell these products, washed. graded, and packaged in attractive contain CTS. And the local housewife can take advantage of the farmer / merchant teamwork and buy portion of Alaska's harvest for the fam

SILVER SALMON FISHING coco
 LOCAL CREEKS

Silver salmon fishing is good at the mouths of Caswell and Montana Creeks, Dan w. Me- Ginnis, sport fish biologist for the Palmer district, said this week.
 The fish average 24 inches in length, and best baits are fresh cluster eggs, mepps, and golf tees.
 Some chum (dog salmon) are also being taken at the same locations, and success is good for silvers between the road bridge and the mouth of Willow Creek for boat anglers, the game department official said.
 Success is spotty at present for silvers at Wasilla and Cot tonwood Creek tideWater areas, the angling being fair when fish are moving through.
 Fair to good fishing for chum salmon may be had at the high way bridge areas of Willow and Sheep Creeks, McGinnis added.

jumped from approximately S231s billion to $6315 billion, and at the same time state and local spending has jumped from $22 billion to $49 billion.
 The nations independent businessmen, voting through the National Federation of In- dependent Business, feel strongly that 8 reduction in in- come tax rates is essential to preserve a free economy, and to provide more employment.
 Yet, the nations independent business proprietors have also voted strongly in favor of cut ting government expenses to offset. at least in part, a tax cut.
 As shown by the above flg- ures, there Is plenty of water to be wrung out of government tai spending to provide size able tax cuts.
 AAH
 On the other hand, reflection on these figures cause wonder if the water must be wrung out of the federal budget alone, or whether at the same time local governments all through the land should be forced to cut back on their expenditures.
 Today, the public debt of the federal government is over $10O billion more than the com- bined public debt of all the free nations of the world com- bined, yet these nations re- ceive billions of US. dollars in foreign give away funds.
 Thus, perhaps Castro is not the greatest concern of every American.
 Perhaps of far greater con- oern is the actual solvency e the nation.
