MARYLAND HOLDS
MILITIA FIREARMS
FROM GANGSTERS
State Officials Took Early
Steps to Prevent Raids
by Bandits.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

OpCOlnl DloPdbNi w AhV OtoA'
BALTIMORE, Md, August 1s-
Maryland long ago realized the dan
ger of National Guard arms falling
into the hands of gangsters and took
every precaution to prevent it, Maj
Gen. Milton A. Reckord said today.
The State did not wait for orders
from Acting Attorney General Will
liam Stanley to take unusual precau-
tions in storing arms and ammuni-
ton in the National Guard armories,
according to Gen. Reckord, who is
adjutant general Of the State Militia.
None of the rifles, pistols or ma
chine guns belonging to the Guard
are now in the hands OF bandits, Green
Shirts or other organizations that plot
to overthrow the established gov
ernment.
Stolen Arms Recovered.
1t is true that there have been two
thefts from armories during the past
year, but in each case the arms stolen
have been recovered, according to the
general. The Hyattsville Armory was
robbed in one instance, but the auto
matte rifles and pistols stolen were
found among a miniature arsenal COL
lected by a "Tri-State" gang, whose
members were arrested a few days
later.
The other case involved the theft
of a number of automatic pistols from
the Fifth Regiment Armory military
storehouse. A man who was employed
in repair work at the armory after the
fire sawed through wooden door and
got the pistols. The wooden door was
the only protection between the mill
tary storehouse and the outside world
because the fire had wrecked the
armory proper. The thief was ar
rested and the pistols recovered.
Referring to testimony before q
House of Representatives committee
that pro-Nazis in California were be-
ing armed with military rifles and to
the Acting Attorney Generals state
ment that 1925 pieces of arms and
quantities of ammunition had been
stolen from National Guard armories
since January, 1882, Gen. Reckord said:
OOI1 OI1QcTSIdLlQ I1ldJ ! IcBdIu Lille
matter lightly. There has been lot
of stealing from armories throughout
the country. We are fortunate in
Maryland in that our armories are Of
a better type than those used In many
parts of the country.
Some Buildings Inadequate.
"In some sections the Government
has rented frame buildings not well
adapted to their use and which are
easy TO enter. Our armories are all
of brick or stone. Thieves must first
break into the armories and then
must break into the arms racks,
which are locked.
In rebuilding the Fifth Regiment
Armory, am having installed a spe-
cial vault with safe lock, a time
lock, in which the arms will be stored.
Even if a thief broke into one of
our armories and into the special arms
racks, he would find parts had been
taken from the weapons which are
essential to firing them. He would
then have to find the place where the
firing pins were stored and break an
other lock to get them.

Health Officer appeals
for Campaign to Aid
Children.
BY 9 Associated Press.


MONTGOMERY, Ala. August 18.--
Disastrous effects Of the depression
may be reflected q decade hence in
diseases born Of dietary privation, In
the opinion Of DR.. J. N. Baker, State
director of public health
The warning was an appeal to
health officials, relief workers and cit
izens to unite in q campaign to pro-
tect Alabama against fulnllment of
his fears.
The effects Of insufficient food will
not be mirrored In the mortality sta
tistics Of the next few years, but "a
decade hence" he said, 'the incrimin-
ating finger Of q faulty or subStand-
ard diet for the growing child may
unerringly point the way to the true
cause Of many physical breakdowns In
adult life, foremost among which Is
likely to be tuberculosis"
DR.. Baker also foresees another
health menace threatening to arise
from economic stringency and the
chaotic financial condition Of many
cities and towns.
an abnormal times such as we are
now passing through, with many mu-
nicipaI and county governments
deeply in the red and staggering
under a load of unemployment, 1t Is
not surprising to find health and san
itation work tottering and cruWblng."
he said.
I'm the wake Of unemployment
comes the shutting of Of the water
supply to many families on the urban
fringes. That condition, II allowed
to persist, is certain to spell disaster
not only to those Immediately con-
cerned but also to the entire popula-
ton of any municipality.
The economics of the problem here
presented must be appreciated by mu-
nicipal authorities, and all necessary
steps must be taken to guard against
any weakening Of public health work.
ITO cooperation must be added the
civic consciousness of the individual
and a willingness on his part to see
that he and his family receive pro-
lection afforded through proper i'm
DR.. Bakers reference to immuniza-
ton primarily was in regard to typhoid
fever. The States death rate from
that disease was reduced from 900 In
1917 to l19 in 1888. But DR.. Baker

By the Associated Press.


LAURENS, S. c., August 1S.-
Candidates for the so-called minor
offices stole the show from the guber-
material aspirants when the South
Carolina 1894 campaign party ap-
peared at historic Laurens last week.
Blistering invective developed in
the race for commissioner of agricul-
ture, adjutant general and superin-
tendent of education. .. .. -
-Adjt. Gen James C.. Dozier said
his opponent, Tom Marshall, had
uttered a malicious falsehood."
j. w. Shealy, candidate for COM
missioner of agriculture, charged
that his opponent, Commissioner j.
Roy Jones, would swallow the treas
ury of South Carolina If he stays In
Office another term"
Supt. j. H. Hope and c. K. Wright
dealt in heated personalities in their
race for superintendent Of education
Appearance Of gubernatorial can
didates was featured by Tom B.
Pearce's offer to retire from "this
race If any man, or men, can ofter
conclusive evidence that I am the
candidate of any faction, special in
terest, department or clique in South
Carolina" Mr.. Pearce had taken
cognizance of charges by opponents
that he was being run by the State
Highway Department.
James o. Sheppard declared for a
compromise of delinquent taxes, say
ing that only by such course could
wholesale breaking up Of home and
farms in the State be prevented.
Former Gov. Cole l.. Blease at
tackled reckless spending by the
State government and urged addi-
tion Of two more years to high school
courses. He declared that he was
not opposed to labor unions.
Olin D. Johnston continued his at
tack on the State Highway Depart
ment.
A resurvey of the whole tax sys-
tenn of the State was urged by Wynd-
ham Manning, who asserted that
only by such q course could fairness
be brought to all the people of the
State.
Senator H. Kemper Cooke asserted
that he had led governmental reform
in South Carolina for years and that
he had assisted in putting the States
finances in sound condition. He
challenged DR.. R. C. Burts, State dry
leader, "or anybody else" to join de-
bate on the liquor question.
DR.. L. B. Owens charged that the
"old GerVais street ring" is running
South Carolina, and said that If

\ slams doubled and redoubled
that keep you awake until the
wee sma' hours of the morning, but
it's the times when, if you had a
base ball bat, you would have leaned
across the table and Socked your
partner right between the eyes.
One of the prominent players in
New York bridge club told me this
story:
'I was third hand in the bidding, 81
he said, land I picked up four dia-
monds to the king and the queen oi
clubs, third-period! Nothing daunted,
I bid one diamond. 'Doublep from
the player to my left. One spade! 7

Of spades. One no trump from the
other opponent. Just to help the
good work along, bid two clubs on
my three to the queen. The player
on my left bid two spades, holding
six to the ace-queen. My partner
promptly doubled. Three no trumps! 7
went the other opponent. I passed.
1t was about time, don't you think?
The opponent on my left jumped to
six no trumps and now my partner,
holding five diamonds to the queen
and nothing else doubled. He got a
redouble right back. What am I to
open on that bidding?"

CHAIN BANS RECORDS
N. B. c. to Discontinue All
"Phonograph" Programs.


"Phonograph" Programs.
The lowly phonograph record,
which still serves as program
"flller-in" on many stations, is on its
way out in so far as the National
Broadcasting Co. is concerned. Orders
have been issued by the network to
the stations it owns or operates that
programs using phonograph records
shall be discontinued. This will be
done gradually to allow pending con-
tracts with commercial sponsors to
be filled.
Photograph records, which are not
to be confused with electrical trans
criptions made exclusively for broad
casting, at one time were banned on
both N. 3. C. and Columbia stations
during evening hours. Depressed
business conditions, which necessi-
tated curtailment Of some network
features, led to lifting of the ban
two years ago in the case of N. B. c.
Now, with prospects Of sponsored
shows for the Fall better than ever,
N. B. c. has reinstituted the order.
