Two fed- feral entomologists have devised an experimental insecticidal spray they claim is "lethal" to the cattle grub. Although scores of new sprays have been tested in recent years for; the fight against the grub, A. R.J Roth and Gaines W. Eddy say thenew one is the first to prove more effective than standard rotenone sprays. Roth and Eddy , stationed at ihe Corvallis, Ore., laboratory of the' Agriculture Department's iicmi'iral research service, prepared a report on the new bpray today for the entomologi cal society of America which is meeting in Houstori: , , . . The spray's name, for simpli city, is 21-199. Technically, it is 3- chloro -4-methylumbellif erone o'jo-diethylthiophosphate.

(U.R) A crazed, toy shop owner, accused of killing his former wife and an other woman, was seized by state police today after he had roam ed the streets of this gambling resort for several hours armed with a revolver. Federick W.

A. C. Bennett said to day the British Columbia gov ernment was not interested in a $250,000,000 Washington state utilities plan to dam the Colum bia river at Mica creek. The proposal called for sever al American interests to build the dam which the British Col umbia government would then own. The government would have to .spend up to $60,000,000 in generating stations. In return the province would get the 2, 400,000 H.P. generated by these stations from stored waters be fore they reached the border.

The Su preme Court ruled that the act was constitutional.
