TACTICS
Barred TODAY

The private financial affairs
of Edmund D. Rheem, executive
vice president Of the bankrupt
Swartzell, Rheem and Hensey
Company, are to be aired at the
creditors examination this after
noon before Fred J. Eden, referee
in bankruptcy.
Thwarted in his previous
attempts to elicit this informa-
tion Attorney Marcus Borchardt
today obtained in the District
Supreme Court, subpoenas
against the Riggs National Bank,
the Federal-American National
Bank and Trust Company and
the Security Savings and Com.
mercial Bank, directing officials
of those institutions to produce
the ledger accounts and deposit
slips dealing with Rheem's
private accounts with those banks
from January, 1928, to date.
Borchardt said that in view of
the fact that original first trust
deeds had been released and re-
placed with other first trusts of
smaller amounts, there was a
likelihood that Rheem received
some consideration and, that if
so, the proceeds belong to the
estate.

necessary to continue their
Investigations because of alleged
irregularities thus far uncovered.
The Hastings telegram came
in the wake of. an exchange of
messages between Senator Bank
head and Senator Thomas Heflin,
the defeated Alabama candidate,
in which Bankhead had urged
that the Senate committee abide
by it's agreement to cease the
recounting activities if no evil
dence of fraud appeared. Senator
Hastings declared:
"The investigation has shown
us the officials Of Alabama
held little regard for the eIec.
tiOn laws of their State. The
recount, therefore, must con.
tinue until about the first week
in June when the entire prob
ing committee will meet to
discuss the plans for future
action"

SANDING USES
SHELLS MADE
BY j. 5.
Bandits Ammunition Called
Better Grade Than Given
Marines Who Oppose Him

Augustine Sandino and his
Nicaraguan bandits have been
fighting the American Marines
with ammunition manufactured
in United States Government
arsenal, aSSording to persons who
have recently returned from Mica
ragua.
The source of the ammunition
in the hands of the bandits is a
mystery, they assert.
According to the stories, often
after Skirmishes with the rebels,
the Marines, pressing forward,
have found the empty cartridge
cases.
Many of these cases, they de-
clare, bore the mark "FA-27."
Made At Frankfort
That means that the cartridges
were made in the Government
arsenal at Frankfort, Pa, in
1927. This ammunition is re-
garded in military circles as some
of the best ever made.
It also is declared that while
the bandits were supplied in some
manner with this ammunition,
the Marines often were forced to
fight with cartridges made as
early as 1918.
Some of this ancient ammuni,
ton, it is said, was absolutely
worthless. The powder had de-
Perforated and in many cases
the bullet had become looSened
from the cartridge case.
Major Gen. Ben H. Fuller. COM
mandant of the Marine Corps,
denied that inferior quality am
munition had been furnished the
forces in Nicaragua. He also
stated that he had not heard
that the Sandino forces had Gov
ernment ammunition.
Grenades Inferior
General Fuller said that the
SandinO forces have had excellent
weapons and ammunition snug
gled in to them, but the source
has never been determined.
Returned Marines have de-
clared that formerly they had
been furnished hand grenades
that dated back to the World
War and were badly deteriorated.
Often, out of 10 grenades car.
ried, the average of those that ex-
ploded was about three. it is
claimed. This, it was said made
it difficult in jungle fighting,
where the grenade is an impor-
ant weapon.
