BORDER SMUGGLING
 WAR IS DECLARED
Govt. to Tighten Liquor Barrier
 at Frontier

Washington, May 2e (UP)-A su- across the Canadian border is to be made this summer by Dr. J. M. Doran. new federal prohibition con- missioner. Eighty per cent of liquor smuggled into the United States comes from the Dominion. it was said today.
 About 50 per cent of the snug gled whiskey. beer and ales is brought into America across the De- troit river. 1t was said. Intelligence officers of the prohibition bureau, customs bureau and coast guard are concentrating on that territory to solve the problem. Fear of interna- tional complications prevents United States officers from firing at rum runners on the river, as stray bull lets might strike innocent persons in Canada and lead to serious diff faculties between the two govern ments. it was explained.
 Rum runners operate boldly and some have dug their own private channels across the Detroit river. treasury officials said. Fast launches cross in about two minutes and can unload their illicit cargoes while federal patrol boats search for a channel to chase them.
 Efforts are to be made to iron out a mitch" in the anti-smuggling treaty with Canada. At present Canadian custom officers exchange information with United States of- ficials every night, too late to deal with rum boats operating by day.

Rev. Lon F. Call of Louisville, Ky, It is therefore practical to advocate consolidation when old dogma and creeds have become worn out. Pathological differences" he con- tinued. 'are no longer real differ ences. The ideal Of brotherhood which is preached should be put into practice"
 Caution was recommended by Dr. Harold E. B. Speght of Kings chap el. Boston. He said there was little to be gained by consolidation of the two groups. and that there were cer- tain fundamental differences to be ironed out before the union would be practicable.

OIL PRODUCTION
 BEING CUR7A|LED
Seminole Field Owners Reach
 an Agreement

New York, May 26 R-Curtail- ment of oil production in the Sem mole field of Oklahoma. immediate ly and for an indefinite period, has been decided upon by 20 companies representing virtually 10o per cent of the fields output. The effects of the limitation are expected to be ap- parent in about three weeks.
 Recommendations of Ray H. Col lins, recently appointed umpire of the field and who drew Up the cur tallment program, were approved at a meeting of the producers yester- day. Collins. an independent operator of Tulsa. Okla. was asked to con- tinue as dictator
 He urged drilling in of some wells and limitation of the outputs of oth- CTS. The curtailment program will continue to be carried out until 10 or more of the companies signing the agreement decide to withdraw from it.
 The Seminole overproduction. the
  lowering of oil prices to less than half of their level of a few months ago. The field at present is pro- ducing 14.5 per cent Of the nations s crude oil. In the 24 hours ending at ' a. m.

RUBBER OXIDATION
PREVENTIVE FOUND
New Product, "Neozone," Expect
ed to Lengthen Life of
Many Products.
BY the Associated Press.

bS tHc ASsOC1dteu fTeSS.
WILMINGTON, Del, October S.
A new product designed to prevent
deterioration of rubber by air is an.
nounced by the E. I. du Pont de
Nemours & Co. "Neozone," the new
anti-oXidant, is a product Of the pro.
gram Of organic chemical develop
ment instituted by the company sew
eral years ago
Du Pont rubber chemists explained
today that it has long been known
that the deterioration in rubber is due
chiefly to the oxygen Of the air, but
that 1t was not possible to scientifically
study this phenomenon until within
the last few years, when tests were
developed which enabled the chemist
to duplicate by artificial means within
a Few days the deterioration which is
normally produced over a period of
several years. In one of the most
valuable Of these new tests the rubber
is exposed to pure oxygen in a heavy
steel bomb under a pressure of 800
pounds to the square inch and is
simultaneously heated at 158 degrees.
rms produces an extremely rapid
oxidation of the rubber.
organic chemists have long known
that the decomposition or oxidation
or many chemicals can be prevented
by adding to them a very small per.
;entage OF substances which are known
as negative catalysts. This knowl.
edge when applied to the study
OF rubber has produced the chemicals
known as anti.oxidants. Rubber
manufacturers have been striving for
years to improve the serviceability
OF their products. Chemists say the
development Of the anti.oxidants is a
great step in this direction.

BOYS CATCH ALLIGATOR.
30-Inch Amphibian Found In
Branch of Elizabeth River.

NORFOLK, Va, October s [P).-
An alligator, 80 inches long, caught
in the Hague, a branch of the Eliza
beth River, by two boys this after
noon is the reason for much curl
osity and speculation. The alligator
was left in shallow water by the re-
ceding tide and the boys with the
aid Of poles was able to get him
into washtub. Where it came from
was a question, but the most likely
theory advanced was that it came
up from the South by way of the
Dismal Swamp Canal.
Alligators have not been seen in
this section before except in Zoos and
the unusually warm weather of the
past several weeks is thought re-
sponsible for the amphibian wander
ing so far from the native cline.
