State Calls For
 Control Of Borer
Corn Growers Asked By Agricultural Dept to Clean Up
 Fields By April 20

New Haven, April ; Corn grow CTS were called on to clean up their fields for control of the European corn borer in statement issued to- day by pr W. E. Britton, entomo- logist of the Connecticut Agricul- tural Experiment station. He an- nounced that inspectors will soon travel through the quarantined area of the state to see whether control methods have been practiced. April 20 is the date prescribed by law 'deadline" on destruction of corn stalks.
 "The man who practices methods on his own farm can do more to protect his crops and to prevent the spread of the borer than any state or federal quarantine agents" Dr Birtton said. This insect has spread over almost three-fourths of Connecticut. If the grower himself does not practice strict control, pro- it from corn growing will become impossible.
 .'To make sure that cornfields arc cleaned up, statute requires that cornstalks must be destroyed in the quarantined area. The order of the director of tn station is that all cornstalks shall be disposed of on or before April 20 by feeding to live stock. burning or blowing under cleanly, and that all of the larger weeds in and around the cornfieids be likewise destroyed"

GOES DOWN WITH
 RUM BOAT THAT HAD EXPLODED
Cornelius F. O'Brien of Tive erton, K. l. Drowned Charges and Counter Charges Were Made

Tiverton, R. l., April 13 = (UP)- The waters of Mount Hope Bay were to be dragged today for the body of Cornelius F. O'Brien, 35. of this town, who apparently perished when an explosion sank the rum-running motorboat 868-G just after Coast Guards had captured 1t early Satur- day. A
 Belief that o'Brien lost his life when catapulted into the sea by the blast was expressed by Ray Cole man, owner of the craft, who es- capped with severe burns on the chest and hands, He said O.Brien was clinging to the blazing wreck age when he last saw him.
 Coleman charged that Chief Petty Officer Ellsworth Latham of the patrol boat, CG-2343 left him and O'Brien to drown following the ex- plosion.
 Answering this allegation, Latham said if O'Brien drowned it was Cole mans fault.
 Coleman told me several weeks ago that I would never take boat Of his and my man. Beaumont (Charles F. Beaumont of the 2343's crew), saw him throw a switch, firing the vessel" Latham said, adding that men struggling lin the water. >
 According to Coleman, the. .ex- plosion occurred when coast guard machine gun bullets riddled the mo- torboats gasoline tanks.
 Nearly 500 sacks of liquor. valued lat approximately $35.000,l were lost when two boats which the motorbat was twing feundered in the heavy sea. sgS.. i tsS Is,rM
