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."

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.
