Connecticut first rubber crop has been harvested at the Mount Car mel farm Of the Connecticut Ex- pertinent Station at New Haven, reports Dr. Donald F. Jones, head Of the stations plant breeding de- partment. Roots from a small sec ton of the test plot of Taraxacum kok-saghyz, the Russian rubber bearing dandelion. have been dug and are being dried prior to ship ment to the U. s. D. A. rubbr plant field laboratory at Saint Paul. Mlnn. Here the roots will be ground and analysed for rubber content by members of the bureau Of plant in- dustry which foStered the tmporta- ton of the seed from Russia last spring and it's subsequent planting at severa! experiment stations in the northeast.
 '"The Russian dandelions have made . good stand" reports pr. Jones, though they are a bit dis appointing in size, being only half that Of our common lawn weed which they closely resemble. How ever. 1t is rubber we are after. If analysis shows yields as high as 2 to 6 per cent of the dry weight. as on it's native soil, in all likelihood this imported dandeIion will go into commercial production next spring. Production authorities claim we must have natural rubber at any cost. and here is one source which can be grown at home"
 Six lots of kok -Soghyz roots. each taken at random from the plot at Mount Carmel were dug, weighed fresh, and are now drying at room temperature in the plant breeding

ENSIGN SOUGHT
 AFTER BIG FIRE

Boston, December 5. - (Upl = Navy and police authorities pressed their search today for Ensign John B. Bauer, a. of Pittsburgh who is mysteriously missing after the Cocoanut Grove fire.
 Bauers hat and coat were found in the night club check room alter the Saturday night fire, but no other trace of him has been found. All bodies have been identified and so have the injured -- but Bauer was not among them.
 Medical. Examiner Timothy Leary said it was highly improbable that Bauer's body had been identtied tn- correctly and already buried and dis counted the possibility that the Ensign's body was cremated by flames.
 That's as near impossible as any thing can be-" he said.
 The only explanation that Dr. Leary could offer was that Bauer, a student at Harvard Naval Training School, might have suffered an at tack of amnesia caused by shock and was wandering about the city. Radio stations and newspapers were asked to help in finding him.
 Bauer's father and brother ar rived here to aid in the search for the ensign, a graduate of Yale and formerly captain of the Shadyside Academy golf team in Aspinwall, Pa. He was described as being 5 feet 9 inches tall. weighing l75 pounds, with blond curly hair and blue eyes.
 His Navy clothes were purchased from Meyers military shop. Wash ington, D. C., and bore labels of that store.
