EXPERTS ON TRAIL OF
 TWO BEETLE FAMILIES
Agricultural Men to Dig For Grubs Of Japanese and 9Asiatic
 Pests This Fall

New Haven, Nov. 1 R>-The Aslatic and the Japanese beetles of man in his struggle with growths of the soil, have gone into winter retirement, somewhere underground but man is pursuing them.
 Under the direction of J. Peter Johnson. deputy entomologist of the Connecticut agricultural experiment station, 25 men are now engaged in digging up turf in various parts Of the state in a search for the grubs. These men will probably dig in some places as deep as IS inches 10 find infested regions and lay down their control work.
 They are working in and around New London, Manchester, Cromwell, Bristol and Ridgefield, most popu- lar of the beetles haunts.
 Experiment station officials said the quarantine against the beetles has been lifted on farm products for the winter, but the restriction is continued all year on nursery and greenhouse stock.

Return of Otto Barta
 BOlsters South Church

The return of Otto Barta last night brought the defensive depart ment of the South Congregational church basketball team up to its full expected strength. Barta, a regular on the team for the past three years, will probably. share the backcourt work with Rockwell Os- borne. and Parker. although it. is likely that either Rockwell or Os- borne will move in at forward to take Morey's place. Bell will fill the other forward berth and Wes- sells is certain of his position a center. Further strength may he given the attack through Al Havlick, who may come back to the church team after an absence Of two years.
 Danny Wosilus, Red Ratings, Merza, Joseph, and other members of last years juniors and reserves, are also battling for places and, with the formation of a junior church league imminent. will be sure of regular play in that circuit, at least.

MeXicans Want Half
 Navy, One Boat. Back

San Diego, Cal, Nov. l Pt- The Mexican government has fil- ed suit in superior court here to recover possession of the patrol boat s. A. F. No. 2, formerly the Tecate, which constitutes half of Mexico's west coast navy.
 The craft, launched about three months ago, recently was return- ed to the ways of the Peter Rask shipyard here and work on its hull started. It supposedly is held for a repair bill. In the com plaint the boat is valued at $36,- 900 and the Mexican government asks Judgment of that amount if it IS not delivered, plus $2,500 damages. Rask' s bill against the Mexican government for repairs is said to approximate $12,000. Rask said there had been misunderstanding which would be strengthened out soon.

VERSIONS VARY IN
 WALTON MURDER
Judge Hamilton, on Trial, to
 Claim Self Defense

Weatherford, Tex, Nov. (P)- Was the fatal shooting of Tom Wal ton, Jr., the coldly calculated mur- der of a youth crying for mercy, or was it an act of self-defense in hand-to-hand combat?
 That is the question which today confronted the jury hearing the trial of Judge R. H. Hamilton. former supreme court jurist and University professor, on charge of staying Walton, his son -in-law, when the 23- year old University of Texas student went to Hamiltons office to tell him of his recent marriage to the law yer's 17-year-old daughter, Theresa.
 Both Versions Offered
 Both versions of the shooting have been presented from the witness stand, the first, interpreted by the state, contained allegations that Walton cried out for mercy as four shots were poured into his body at close range, and sought to show that one or more of the bullets entered the boys back.
 The second, offered by witnesses for the defense, was based on asser- tions that Walton was killed during a scuffle and that Hamilton, imme- diately after the death of his son. in-law, exclaimed T hated to do that, but had to save my own life.' That phrase was an addition to the states previous contention that Hamilton had said he would rather be killed than to kill man, ''ex- cept to protect my family"
 The eyewitness stories were told by Miss Florence Hendricks, steno- grapher and daughter of Hamilton's law partner, Harry Hendricks; and J. W. Burks. Amarillo real estate dealer, a visitor in the office.
 Saw Men GrappHng
 From the two persons nearest the scene of the shooting the defense attempted to show that the men grappled immediately before. or at tho time, the shots were fired. Miss Hendricks testified that T looked up, saw Judge Hamilton with his gun in his hand. and then they be- gan going around and grappling. Then there were some shots"
 Burks, in the next room. said he "heard scuffling and a shot. almost simultaneously" and rushed to the door in time to see the men wrest- ling and hear the second shot
 The youthful widow of Walton and her father probably will take the stand today. They were ex- pected to testify yesterday but a multitude of character witnesses summoned by Hamilton's counsel consumed almost the entire morning.

SIX YOUTHS PAINT NAMES UPON CRAIG
California Lads Have to Re- move Mt. Whitney Inscription

Portersville, Cal, Nov. 1 UP)- Six Portersville youths whose names literally have been higher than any others in the United States, today stood shorn of their ''honor."
 Leonard Longly, Rex Williams, Rudolph Lumley, Carter Saunders, Worth Ramey and Irval Carter more than year ago painted their names in black on the highest rock of Mt. Whitney, 1892 feet altitude and the highest peak in the United States.
 For the past year the few hardy climbers who reached the peaks top had been witness to the boys feat.
 But it seems that Uncle Sam's forest rangers occasionally stroll among the clouds, too. Lately one took a jaunt to Mt. Whitneys heights, saw the painted names and grew wrathy. The snow capped peak, it seems, is in Sequoia National Park, and there apparently is law against de- facing park property.
 At any rate, the ranger curtly ordered the youths to obliterate their effort to preserve their names from the nations highest point.
 The youths were unable to ar range another trip to the peak, an arduous and some what expensive Jaunt, but deputized two friends to do the job. The friends returned and reported they had whitewash- ed the names

HOYTS HOP TO TEXAS AND BACK
ISCOMPLETED IN TEETH OF GALE
Army Flyer Makes Record
Time to San Antonio
and Return.
SkiI!fuI Handling of His Plane
Averts Crash at Boil
ing Field.

Completing double dawn to dusk
flight between the National Capital and
Kelly Field, San Antonio, Tex, in the
fastest time any man ever travelled be-
tween those points, Capt. Ross G.
Hoyt, chief refueling pilot on the
Question Mark endurance flight, landed
at Boiling Field at o'clock yesterday
evening in the teeth of 60mile gale:
But for Capt. Hoyts skillful handling of
his plane, he probably would have
crashed at the end of the fight, as the
wind blew the plane completely off the
ground and carried it away after his
first landing.
Capt Hoyt made the 3,100-mile trip
in only IS hours and As minutes act
ual flying time and only 81 hours and
35 minutes elapsed between the time he
left Boiling Field at 4:25 am. WedneS-
day until he returned last night.
The flight is hailed by War Depart
uent officials as being of the greatest
importance to both civil and military
aviation. 1t is a practical demonstra-
ton of the fact. they claim, that in time
of war the Army Air Corps can move
planes to any threatened point within
the United States within "a hours time
without any special preparations. Capt.
Hoyt made the flight to carry diplo-
matte mail to Capt. Ira G. Eaker for
delivery to the Presidents of Central
American republics on his contemplated
dawn-to-duSk flight from the United
States to Panama Sunday.
No Special Preparations.
Capt. Hoyt's fight was made without
any advanced preparations in standard
P-lB Army pursuit plane with only the
standard equipment and ordinary fuel
tanks. He did not press the ship unduly
to establish new record and spent nine
hours at Kelly field to rest between hops.
The reliability of the standard service
motor in his plane was proved by the
fact that the engine ran continuously
from the time he left Boiling Field until
he landed at Kelly Field and also on
the return trip. Capt Hoyt was fur
nished regular weather reports at each
refueling point by the Weather Bureau
and these reports proved accurate
throughout the trip. he said.
The trip could have been made in
even less time, Capt Hoyt reported, had
it not been for strong head winds and
cross winds which he encountered dur
ing large part of his trips in both
directions.
when I arrived at Boiling Field be-
fore dawn Wednesday morning to begin
the trip" Capt. Hoyt said, Il found the
field a sea of mud and water, with the
wreckage of two dirigibles blocking the
center of the field and third dirigible
still in the hands of a ground crew."
To avoid miring his plane or colliding
with the dirigibles, Capt. Hoyt made
one of the most thrilling take-offs seen
at Boiling Field in long time. He
backed his plane up on the concrete
roadway between the hangers so as to
have a 250-foot run and succeeded in
