modern methods CT slaughter was being
investigated by police today in their
effort to clear up the Staying Of Ave
political leaders here Tuesday.
They based their theory on the fact
that DR.. Clcmente VazGuez Bello,
President Of the Cuban Senate. friend
presidential candidate for next year,
was slain very much in the American
gang manner.
He was cut down by rain of bullets
from an automobile which roared up
beside the car in which he was riding.
The fact that more than a dozen bullets
penetrated tjs body and more than 60
struck the side of his car indicated,
police said, that sub-machine gun was
used by the killers.
Other Shootings Described.

ROADS FIND R. F. c.
CAUTIOUS ON LOANS
Security Required From Lines
and Only About Half Asked
Is Usually Advanced.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 29-Study
Of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion's loans to railroads has revealed
to executives in that industry, and their
banking associates, that the Govern
ment-sponsored body is determined not
to be a Santa Claus
No set rule regarding loans has been
publicly defined by the corporation, but
directors Of Uncle Sans big relief
agency have made 1t clear informally
that roads can borrow money from it
only If they have proper security.
The corporation Is more lenient in the
matter of security than a commercial
bank could be, but nevertheless it insists
upon having collateral to back every
dollar it advances.
High Hopes at Start.
At the start, several months ago, some
railroads hoped to obtain as much as
100 per cent Of their loan requests. They
soon learned otherwise, however, when,
in the case Of Missouri Pacific, the cor
poration said 1t would advance Sl2, 800, :
600, or half the funds asked by the car
rier to take care of bank loan Later.
the corporation made additional loans
to other roads in amounts Approximate
ing so per cent of the total requested
Consequently. when the Nickle Plate
one of the latest roads to join the
long. but gradually shrinking list of ap-
plicants-recently asked aid in taking
care of its s20, 900 900 note maturity OIL
October /. there was high hope in some
banking circles that at least half the
loan desired would be forthcoming.
But the r. F. c. set the optimists
down hard. 1t granted one-quarter Of
the amount asked and made that con-
ditional on acceptance Of a refundlng
plan by substantial majority OF the
note holders.
Policy Is Explained.
Asked why the $3.50 rule had net
been followed in this case. man who
stands high in the counsels of the Re-
construction Corporation, explained un-
officially that no change in policy had
been launched
The corporation simply advanced as
much money as it felt it could advance
in light of the security offered" he said.
The corporation Is running its affairs
like q private banking organization. 1t
does not advance money unless there
Is security to back such loans, and. in
the interest of the public welfare, It
insists upon full protection. Obviously
it Is able to accept as security some
collateral which might be spurned by
banks, with their rigid requirements.
but 1t Is insistent upon having proper
coverage for all Of its loans. While
lenient and public spirited, the cor
poration still is guided by sound
business methods"

tContlnCeQ from FlrSC rage
the rank of inspector in order that he
might take over the crime prevention
post wss seen in police circles as a re-
suit q the removal of Davis and the
failure of Glassford to name immedi-
ately q new permanent chief. Regula-
tions now cali for the mandatory retire
ment Of all police officers reaching the
age Of Ga years.
The oldest inspector at present is
Albert j. Headley, who was 81 last July.
However. It was pointed out, the Dls-
trict Commissioners at their discretion
can retire officers who have reached
the age of so and officers themselves
can request retirement after they have
reached IS, providing they have had
Is years service. Inspector Beckett is
now about IS, while the other inspec-
tors, Edwards, E. w. Brown, T. r.
Bean. Burke and Davis range between
SO and 60.
Beckett's new duties will involve the
attention to police matters to which
Gen. Glassford has not the time to
devote. Beckett will be used by Gen.
GlaSsford to run down Immediately
such complaints and Investigations as
require prompt attention. He will have
no connection with the Crime Pre-
vention Division" according to Inspec-
tor Edwards.
Beckett "Staff Officer"
Gen. Glassford, mindful of his mill
tary service, described Beckett as his
staff officer" He said the inspector S
assignment to headquarters was tenn
porary until we see how it works cut"
In connection with Inspector Davis
transfer, it was recalled today that he
had been asked to explain certain acts
twice by Gen. Glassford since eviction
of the bonus army lest July %. The
first occasion involved q raid made by
Davis and his men on a meeting Of al
legged radicals in an abandoned south
west auditorium.
Asked for an official explanation.
Davis, reported to his superior that he
had acted in accordance with an order
issued by former Supt. Henry G. Pratt
calling for police oflcers to cooperate
to the fullest extent" with agents of the
Labor Departments Immigration Bu-
reau. The explanation was accepted.
More recently, Immediately after pub
lication of Attorney General Mitchell's
report explaining the eviction by Fed
eral troops of the bonus r1archers,
Gen. Glassford called upon Davis to
explain a statement in the report in
which Davis is quoted as saying he had
been ordered by the police superin-
tendent to withhold his agents from
the bonus camps on the day Of the
eviction. His explanation that this in
formation was contained in testimony
before the grand jury and hence was
privileged was accepted by Gen. Glass
ford and apparently the. two had
smoothed out their differences.
