China's Political Rift
Widens In Manchu City
By TOM MASTERSON
KAIYUAN ManehuriB, April
12 (AP) China's political rift
widened perceptibly today in
this communist surrounded, machine-gun
protected city as Gen.
Liang Hwa-sheng told corre
spondents he would 'sweep
way" all communists in a drive
lo northern Manchuria.
The arrival Tuesday of a cease
fire team of American, commu
nist and government members
icrved only to worsen the sit
uation. Liang told a press con
ference he had received no in
itructions regarding the cease
fira team and declined to discuss
its mission. He is deputy com
mander of government forces in
northwest China.
Expressing fear for the safety
of communist cease fire team
members, government military
authorities ordered them con-
Cordon Scores
Housing Bill
WASHINGTON, April 12 (VP)
Senator Cordon (R-Ore.) said to
day he believed the housing bill
passed by the senate would do
"more to retard building than
to expedite it."
The senator, who took an ac
tive part in the debates on the
measure, told a reporter he
sought to get the title of the bill
eliminated "because it is wholly
misleading and fraudulent."
The bill is entitled "The Vet
erans Emergency Housing
Measure." And Cordon said
there was nothing in it to aid
veterans except to give them a
60 day preference in purchasing
a new home and a 30 day prefer
ence in renting one.
Cordon said he voted against
the measure because the senate
refused to give a subsidy to vet
erans. He said the $600,000,000 sub
sidy to producers of building ma
terials, authorized if the bill is
enacted would not reach the
veterans. He supported an
amendment, that was defeated,
to allow payments to the vet
erans. He said the measure would
retard building of homes be
cause "it is human nature for a
man to get all he can and no
man will increase production
when he knows that by waiting
the government is going to pay
him a premium.
Timber Sales Drop
Blamed On Weather
PORTLAND, Ore., April 12
(P) Regional Forester H. J. An
drews said today bad weather,
"the worst since 1926 in most
places in the two states," was
partly to blame for a sharp de
cline in the service's commercial
timber sales in Oregon and Wash
ington. During the first 1946 quarter
the U. S. forest service sold only
84,104,000 board feet at $314,
642, he reported. The figure for
the same period last year was
194,243,000 board feet for $858,
239. Another factor in the lowered
sales was last fall's lumber
strike, which kept many opera
tors from meeting previous con
tracts, he said,
Not Too Appreciative
fined to their quarters. The reds
were told they could not go on
the streets without bodyguards
of government soldiers.
Spying Cnargea
Thi riovoloument was reported
after the communist leader, Maj.
Gen. Keng Piao. was saia vo
have complained that the reds
wprn heinir snied on by plain-
clothesmen. The government
was reported to have withdrawn
the plainclothesmen with an ex
planation that they were as
signed as guards, not as spies.
A midnight attempt by a band
of 120 communists to enter Kai
yuan which has sandbag ma
chinegun posts and barbed wire
tanglements enlivened the sit
uation. Fifteen minutes of ma-
chmegun and mortar tire fol
lowed, after which government
officials renorted the commu
nists had been repelled without
loss of life. They said the city
was surrounded by communists.
The reds further vexed gov
ernment officials by blowing up
railroad bridges six miles souin
of Kaiyuan, isolating the city
more than 12 hours until the
spans could be repaired.
Radio Halt Ordered
Liang ordered the communists
to discontinue using their radio,
asserting that communist activi
ty in this area had increased fol
lowing their arrival. Later, pre
sumably acting under pressure,
he also ordered government
members of the cease fire team
not to use their radios. Both
groups, however, were permit
ted to use transmitting facilities
of U. S. army executive head
quarters. The communists complained
that their living quarters, above
a restaurant, were unsatisfac
tory. They were promised more
suitable accommodations.
(In Chungking, the commu
nist New China news agency
reported that Kuomintang
national party members of a
truce field team in Mukden re
fused safe conduct guarantees to
communists liaison officers seek
ing to reach "the battle front"
through government lines. The
dispatch was dated Yenan, com
munist headquarters.
The agency also said that

Shore Leave Given
46 Chinese Seamen
COOS BAY, Ore., April 12 (IP)
The U. S. Immigration service
has approved shore leave for 46
Chinese seamen who staged a
sit-down strike on the Dutch

Important Pointi
There are many things to be
considered about any shrub be
fore you can find the place to
which It is best suited as a part
of the home planting. First, is it
hardy in this climate and adapt
ed to the soil at hand, will it
thrive best in sun or shade, does
it require a well drained dry
situation or can it stand wet feet
from a nigh water table?
The height to which it will
grow under various conditions,
whether it can be allowed to
keep its natural form1 and shape
in the place where It is to grow;
the part the shrub will best play
in helping make the grounds
most attractive all these are

Hard To Control
HILLSBORO, Ore., April 12
(P)R. A. Warden warned inex

isn t easy to control a speedy
P-38 if they are used to only
the putt-putt kind of planes.
He sat down his new army
surplus Lightning here yester
day on a flight from Kingman,
Ariz. Previously, he had flown
nothing faster than an 80-horse-power
cadet for more than an
hour.
Warden said he would use the
powerful twin-engine plane for
forest and crop dusting. It cost
him $1250. He has had 30U0
hours in light planes half of
them as an instructor but only
a short course several years ago
in twin-engine operation.

Lakeshore Gardens Nursery
The home beautiful was never
closer to the heart of America
than it is at present.
For years the garden clubs and
women's organizations all over
the nation have been stressing
the fact that it takes landscaping
outside as well as the interior
decorations to make a house a
home.
Ornamental plantings are
made to beautify the surround
ings in which they are placed.
Attractiveness is achieved
through selecting such trees and
shrubs as are in harmony with
each other and suited to the loca
tion in which they are to grow;
for as the home is called the soul
of the garden, so the garden be
comes the bower and appeal of
the home; the lawn the canvas
for the home picture.
When you deciSe to landscape
your home, go out and take a
good look at the house and think
how you would like to have it
appear when completed. With
your mind's eye measure the
heighth and breadth of planting
space, then decide whether you
want tall or low-growing shrubs
to predominate; for as the walls
and the rug form the background
of a room, so does the house and
lawn determine the shrubs which
fit best in your foundation plant
ing. The heighth and shape of the
building, size and depths of the
windows, angles 'of the house to
be emphasized or reduced, to
gether with the shape and space
of the yard are the main factors
to consider in the planning of a
foundation planting.
Personal Taste
The variety and size of shrubs
to be used are largely a matter of
personal taste. We like to use
shrubs of a large size so that
they will look grand when first
planted, rather than plant small
sizes and have to wait two or
three years for them to grow in
to the space they are to fill.
The space where the shrub is
to be set should determine wheth
er it be tall or short or medium
height as well as to need of a
narrow or broad-growing type.
It is in this connection that vour
landscaper can be of service in
helping you to select the shrubs
suitable for your planting, as he
is familiar with the growing hab
its of the various plants and
knows what size and height to
expect them to make in the years
aneaa.
As a general rule for founda
tion planting, I would say that
tall growing evergreens, such as
pyramidal arborvltae, blue cy
press, Irish juniper and other
tall-growing, narrow shrubs be
placed so as to cover corners and
wide spaces between windows,
then fill in between and under
windows with the low-growing
variety and an occasional medi
um tall in spaces which are suit
able to produce an up-and-down
effect.
Most Desirable
Among the most desirable
low-growing evergreens are,
Pfitzer, savin and tamaricus
juniper, dwarf box, globe and
Berkman golden arborvitae. The
medium tall evergreens include
box true tree which may be
sheared to any desirable shape,
spring Greek and vase juniper,
Hovey, Warena, Bakers and com
pacta arborvitae.
A pleasing doorstep set up is
to use a tall or medium ever
green against the wall with a
low dense one in front. This will
stress the entrance and make it
a place of welcome as it should
be.
After the background is set
out a more handsome effect may
be had by grouping lower ever
greens in front so as to tie the
House to the yard, the low-
growing junipers, heath and rock
daphne are ideal for frontage
of toundation plantings. I he
tamariscus juniper is must beau
tiful as a ground covering around
low wide steps. This juniper
with creeping heather and rock
daphne makes a perpetual green
carpet and the bright flowers on
heather or daphne are a joy in
spring and early summer.
Enhances Effect
Some people want all the
shrubs used to be low or me
dium height. If the house is small
or has a low-hanging roof, the
lower-growing shrubs would be
very correct. However with tall
nouses, sharp angles and much
space between windows a few
tall evergreens well-placed adds
much to the attractiveness of the
planting.
We nave mentioned only a
iew oi me leading evergreens
which are hardy in this climate.
mere are others as well as some
broadleat evergreens ' which
stand our cold winters and dry
summers and are lovely in the
foundation planting as well as
in other landscape effects.
While an entire planting of
evergreens as a foundation is
