PAGE THREE IL Sl ARMY TO USE RAPIDJIRE RIFLE Day Of Springfield Thought Past As Garand Shoulder Piece Proves Superior Range Of Speed Is Wide. WASHINGTON (UP) The army, in tha mldat of the greatest mch anima tion drive tn Its history, has decided to arm Its enlfeted personnel with the deadliest military rifle aver per fected In effect making every man a "walking machine gunner" The new rifle, a semi-automatic weapon capable of firing up to 100 rounds a minute, will, from the view point of firing power, make each man potentially the equal of at least five soldiers equipped with the present army rifle. Jon.i 0 Garand, of the Springfield, Mass., armory, la the de signer of the new gun. Military experts believe the United States Is far ahead of other powers In this type weapon, which Is ex 'pected to go Into mass production within the next few months. Army chiefs, although keeping pace with the rest of the world In military mechanization, cling to the srmy tra dition that "the wholo structure of the military organization still, rests on the Atlas shoulders of the In fantry man In the mud." Superior In All Tests Actual tests under war-like con ditions, according to Major G. H. Drewry of the army ordinance de partment, have shown the' Garand gun to be the superior in all respects to the present bolt-fctlon Springfield rifle. .In a published statement, Drewry kald, "Many advantages result from the use of a semi-automatic shoulder weapon, the principal ones being: 1. Greater accuracy In rapid fire due to elimination of the distraction of having to operate the bolt by hand. ' 3. A greater volume of fire per minute per man. 8. More effective fire against low flying aircraft. 4. A decrease In time required to Instruct new men In marksmanship." Funds for 7,300 Available Funds are available for approxi mately 7.500 of thes.i rifles. Delivery Is expected before the ' end of the year. Last session of congress ap propriated additional funds both for purchase of the rifle before next June and to Increase the equipment used to manufacture It. "In all comparative tests which have been made by the services be tween the Garand and the Spring field." Major Drewiy reported, "the Garand has come out on top. These' have Included accuracy, combat and anti-aircraft firings with export, par tially trained and untrained men. "These tests hav shown that the fire power of one seml-eutomatic rifle for short periods Is equal to about five single-shot rifles. Range of Speed Wide The rate of fire which can be attained Is. of course, dependent to some extent upon the dexterity of the flrer. The number of aimed shots at 200 yards for the average rifleman Is approximately 50 per minute. "The maximum for highly trained riflemen Is approximately 80 per min ute at this range, and at very close ranges, around 50 yards a total of 100 aimed shots are known to have been fired by an expert. "Of course, such high rates of fire are not contemplated except In emer gencies and they cannot be main tained over any considerable period of time, due to the overheating. An average rate of fire of around 30 allots per minute can, however, be maintained almost continuously without difficulty." 4 Tea Versus Deer MELBOURNE, Victoria fP An en terprising caterer Is trying to sub stitute tea for beer as tha favorite beverage among football spectators here.

Made on the New Dispenser for Coca Colas! HINES RECEIVED COIN FROM IB SAYS RACKETEER Harlem Negro Testifies Ar , rests Dropped 50 , Per Cent After Tammany Head Allegedly Agreed to 'Fix' JTBW YORK. Aug. 19. (AP) Jo seph "Big Joe" Iron, 47, a West Indian Negro and one-time Harirm policy game operator, testified In supreme court today at the conspiracy trial of James J. Hlnes, Tammy district lead er, money he and other banks had to turn over to the Dutch Schultz. mob was going to "Jimmy Hlnes club." Ison said Hlnes got $125 a week from the multl -mil lion dollar policy racket for political "protection." The witness said arrest for policy violations dropped 50 per cent late In 1932 and early In 1933 the period shortly after Hlnes, according to Dis trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey's accusations, entered into a conspiracy with Dutch Schultz to "put the fix" on the racket. . . Recorded as Fees "Big Joe" said the money was recorded on the policy slip books aa "fees" for lawyers and bondsmen. "I was puzzled at first what the figures meant," he said. He. said he talked It over with George Weinberg and J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, and one of them told him: "The money Is going to Jimmy Hlnes' club." Ison later said his bank alone, among many other Harlem policy banks, was forced to contribute 125 , weekly to the Hlnes club. He said In the spring of 1933 his bank cleared 75.000 but all the prof its were taken over by "Big Harry" Schoenhaus. - ' "Dixie Davis told me 810,000 of the mono? was to go for 'fixing' the numbers at the Coney island race track on which the policy pay-offs were made," he said. Tapped for $3,500 Ison said when he grumbled, Davis asked him : "Don't you think it's worth It?" A few months later. In the fall, batrf said, the Schultz mob tapped him again for $2,500 on two occasions. "Weinberg told me the money was for. campaign expenses to elect n Democratic mayor and the party's ticket," he said. (John P. O'Brien. Tammany Demo crat, wbs defeated by Mayor V. H.
