Los Angeles, March 19.-An alleged plot to obtain possession of an en- tre United States field battery for the use of the Mexican government during the world war, was detailed 10 the senate subcommittee investi- ygating Mexican affairs here today by Paul Francis Collins, world war veteran and formerly supply ser geant of Los Angeles artillery unit o1 the California national guard senator Albert B.

COTTON GROWING
 MAY BE: BARRED
 IN WORM SECTIONS
Parts of Louisiana and Teyas are to be Out
 IaWed

Washington, March Discovery of the pink boil worm in Louisiana and its reappearance in Texas caused the department of agriculture today to issue notice of public hearing to be held here April 6 to consider the adVisablity of quarantinir@ those states.
 The department issued the follow ing statement:
 "The department early in Fcbruary of this year of the establishment of the pink boil worm in southwestern Louislana ln the parishes of Came ron, Galcasleu and Jeff Davis, under cll tumst&nces which indicate that this insect has been present there Tor aC least two years, and the dis tfibutlon of cotton seed and cotton from this district during these years to various points in Louisiana and also in Texas, together with the re, appearance of this insect in the old Trinity Bay district in Texas, have added very much to the seriousness of the pink boil work situation.
 Hitherto this insect was known to occur only in certain restricted areas III Texas, in which the aid of federal funds and state co-oDeration, bot h ln quarantine measures and in clean up and general control work, the insect has seemed to be on d fair way to be exterminated, and there has been no real need of federal quarantine
 
 While the notice of hearing is drawn to cover the states of Texas and Louisiana as a whole, it is hoped that it will be possible, through the cooperation of the states concerned and particularly the blishment by these states of quarantines pro- hlbiting the growth of cotton in the areas actually known to be infested, to limit the restrictions imposed under the federal quarantine to the areas actually determined as in- tested. 4
 Must Halt Growing.
 Ut is recognized that the extermi- nation of this insect in Texas and also now in Louisiana is absolutely contingent on the prohibition of the growth of cotton in infested areas. The growth of cotton under restrict ion or other methods of control sim ply means the perhaps slower, but no less certain, ultimate spread of this insect Determination is pos- sibly only when the infestation is just beginning and when the insect is scantv in numbers and limited in distribution Any postponment or limitation, therefore, of the effort at this time means practically the loss of the opportunity of extermi- nation and acceptance of the ulti- mate spread of this pest throughout the South. Success in this effort at eXtermination necessarily requires absolute cooperation of the states concerned in the measures outlined.
 "Promptly following the discovery of the infestation by the pink boil worm in the southwestern part of the state of Louisiana, the autholi- ties of that state established dras- tic quarantine prohibiting the growth of cotton in the infested parishes. Ii is hoped that the state of Texas will take measures promptly to continue the cooperation which it was hitherto given and, practically and to provide for the prohibition of the growth of cotton in the infested areas and fol the reimbursement of planters, as in the case of Louisiana
