LINTON, INDIANA. MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 195G UNTON DAILY CITIZEN McKeon Conviction Is Much Discussed PARRIS ISLAND, S. The sentence of nine months at hard labor and a bad conduct discharge for Marine S-Sgt. Matthew C. Ms- Keon touched off a flood of indignation today.

But the drill instructor, found guilty of negligent homicide and drinking in the non-com barracks, seemed to take his fate phmilosophically while waiting for the sentence to go up for review. Maj. Charles P. Sevier, Marine prosecuting officer, said he will need about two weeks to prepare the record and deliver it to Secretary of the Navy Charles Thomas for review. McKeon, 31, was kept busy Sunday at his cottage home receiving telephone calls from per- in all parts, of the country who wanted to express sympathy.

like to thank all the people in tho to God, I McKeon said. The sentence also included reduction in rank to private and forfeiture of $30 of his monthly pay during his nine month sentence, which probably would be served at a Portsmouth, naval rehabilitational base. But the sentence may be reduced or suspended entirely by Secretary Thomas, who is to review it as the authority convening the trial, or still may be appealed.

Bagworms Are Busy In State This Year LAFAYETTE A prediction that 1956 may be the worst year in history for bagworm damage rapidly is coming true, says Glen Lehker, Purdue entomologist. The worms are now feeding on all kinds of trees and shrubs, some of which are already defoliated, Lehker reports. The insects normally prefer the climate of central and southern Indiana but this year some of the most severe damage has been reported from the northern areas.

Homeowners are urged by Lehker to examine trees and shrubs for presence of the worms. They are difficult to see because, they enclose themselves in bags made of silk and bits of foliage and thus resemble closely the plants upon which they feed. Control can be obtained by spraying with either malathion or toxaphcne. Malathion is best for home use because it is readily available in small bottles. Use 2 teaspoonfuls of the 57 percent liquid in each gallon of water.

For large scale spraying use pints of malathion or 3 pints of 60 percent liquid toxa- phene per IOO gallons of water. Additional information is contained in Mimeo E-27, available at county extension offices. BUDGET-PRICED SPECIALS THAT RATE WITH "BACK-TO-SCHOOLERS SPECIAL! SOLID COLOR DRAW DRAPES w.
