Chemical Warfare to Be Used
Against Water Chestnut

A method Of chemical spraying
heretofore untried In this part of
the country, will be used. together
with mechanical means In a con-
certed drive to eradicate Japanese
water chestnut growth in the Po-
tomac River starting this week.
Col. r. S. Thomas, district en-
gineer for the War Department for
the Washington area, said yesterday
his off1ce had now received funds
for the job of eradicating this
aquatic pest and orders to proceed
with its determination Immediately.
At the same time A. w. Mills,
Virginia State game warden for
Prince William County, said that
elimination of the chestnuts has
been started by Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps workers in Potomac
Creek, about is miles down-river
from Occoquan. The c. G. c. boys,
Mr.. Mills said, are using ordinary
scythes and two crushers have been
ordered. &
Col. Thomas issued a warning
to the public, however. as concerns
the chemical to be used, an arsenic
and caustic soda ompound-non-
injurious to fish in the quantities
to be applied. but deadly to humans
and livestock.
The chemical is to be applied by
spraying with specially designed
equipment and falls on the plant
IN the form of a heavy fog. Within
a week, the upper section of the
plant will turn brown and finally
sink below the surface of the water,

Posse Searches Wood
For Slayer Of Two
Volunteer Deputies
Gunmun Twice EIudes
Pursuers in Wisconsin
After Gun Fights
he Associated PreSS.

By the Associated Press.
HAYWARD, Wis, June 17.-Grim
possemen searched the heavily
wooded Chippewa River country
tonight for a sharpshooting fugitive
who killed two volunteer deputies
when cornered in a cabin this
morning.
District Attorney Jay G. Davis
identified the gunman as Ray Olson,
IS, Originally sought for theft Of an
automobile and property from near
by resorts.
Olson twice eluded the posse after
exchanges Of shots.
Summoned by an Indian elected
at gunpoint from his Moose Lake
cabin by Olson, officers surrounded
the place shortly before noon.
AS Deputy Carl (Cully) johnson,
81, attempted to kick in the door, a
shot fired from within struck him
in the head. Deputy Fred Scott,
As, who was nearby, sought cover
and was shot in the back. Both were
dead when other possemen, who re-
turned the fire, reached them.
The fugitive escaped into the
woods as possemen closed in, but
was traced ss-country to a guides
cabin on the Chippewa River
f1owage.
There Olson again exchanged
shots with his pursuers, and again
escaped. He fled out onto a point
of land in the flowage where veteran
woodsmen said he was trapped, un-
able to escape except by boat.
Bloodhounds were brought from
La Crosse, Wis, by airplane to aid
the manhunt.
John Blue Sky, the Indian whose
cabin Olson seized, said the fugitive
declared he never would be taken
alive.

where decomposition takes place.
He said the poisonous spray would
be used in only one locality-at the
mouth Of Oxon Run below Blue
Plains and a reasonable distance
offshore.
Col. Thomas cautioned the public
not to get close to the spraying
operations. Children, especially
should be kept away from the
vicinity and not allowed to play
in the water until the vegetation
has disappeared. Livestock should
be kept from drinking the water
near the operation or eating the
sprayed vegetation for at least 10
days after the poison has been
applied.
The plant, which grows on a ten
uous stem to- IA feet long and
forms a mat across the surface of
the water which will support water
fowl with ease, has increased its
area Of growth alarmingly within
the past decade.
1t has crowded out the water plants
ducks feed on, made useless the
feeding grounds Of fish, aided in
the breeding OF mosquitoes. and
lately has gone so far as to impede
navigation. The four-pronged seeds
of the plant drift downstream and
lodge on beaches where they make
for exceedingly uncomfortable foot
ing.
