WASHINGTON, june 12H U.E)--
Stirred by the shooting this week
of man and boy by customs
patrolmen along the Canadian bor-
der, treasury officials acted today
20 prevent recurrence of such in
cidents.
Existence of stringent treasury
regulations against the indiscaimin-
ate use Of firearms by dry agents or
customs men was emphasized by
Assistant Secretary Seymour Low
man.
Upon the results Of Il searching
inquiry which | have ordered, will
depend what action we shall take
in these cases. Lowman added.
." If our inquiry discloses that
patrolmer did not shoot in self-d =
fense, then we shall make no at
tempt to defend them and they will
have 10 take their chances in the
state courts. However, if we are
convinced of their innocence. after
a hearing, we shall do our utmost
to assure them a fair trial.
Lowman said if newspaper re
ports quoting the Minnesota border
patroiman as saying he was told by
lis superiors to shoot to kill unles,
autoist stopped promptly, were true
it would be considered AN infractio1
Of the treasury regulations.
President Hoover has taken ;
firm stand against the use of fire
arms by dry agents in attempting
to stop motorists or make raids.
