Marines, Nof Satisfied

Il and 7 Other Rifles
New Winchester and
Johnson Semi-Automutic
Being Tried in Son Diego

The Marine Corps, not completely
satisfied with the Armys new semi
automatic Gsrand rifle, has begun
tests which may lead to adoption Of
a new weapon to supersede the
Springfield rifle with which it has
won world honors in craftsmanship
Headquarters here disclosed that
tests were begun this week and will
continue for a month at the San
Diego Marine Base. Rifles being
tested include new Winchester, the
Garand, which Is now being pro-

Winchester Best. Some Say.
Tests include those for function
ing, accuracy and endurance, and
several field tests will be made.
Representatives of the Army and
Navy have been invited to attend.
Previous tests have been con-
Quoted to determine the relative
merits of the johnson and the
Garand rifles. The Army declared
that the Garand, developed and
manufactured in a Government
arsenal, was superior to the john
son semi-automatic. The inventor
of the johnson rifle, Marine Corps
Reserve officer, declared his gun was
superior. The controversy between
adherents of the two has been con-
slant.
The Winchester rifle has seldom
been mentioned before in public and
already some experts" have begun
to declare it is superior to either the
Garand or the johnson rifle.
The Winchester firm recently re-
ceived an educational order to per-
init tooling up and production of
IS 900 Garand rifles. Its own rifle
was said by men who have seen both,
to resemble the Garand closely in
that 1t is '.gas operated while the
johnson gun is '.recoil operated"
Johnson Asks Priority
War Department sources declared
today that Melvin Johnson, the in
ventor, had asked priority on ma
chine tools to fill a Netherlands
Indies order for his rifles. The
department has no objection to the
order, it was said, but it cannot
give preference rating to the
machine tools on the same basis as
an order for the United States
Army.
Officers said there was some
question whether the Winchester
Co. would be given priority in ma
chine tools with which to turn out
Its rifles, if they were adopted by
the marines.

Senate Unit Probes
Handling Of Case
By Judge Bentley
Former Probation Aide
Quizzed About Boy
Sent to Troining School

A Senate judiciary subcommittee
holding hearings on the reappoint-
ment of Miss Fay L. Bentley as
Judge Of Juvenile Court, today began
an investigation of the case of a
15-year-boy who was committed to
the National Training School for
Boys In 1885.
Harry Moore, former probation
officer at the court and now an at
tache of the Training School, was
questioned by Senator McCarran of
Nevada, chairman of the subcom-
mittee.
While a probation officer Mr..
Moore was assigned to make an in
vestigation of the case after the
boy had been found guilty in Juve-
nile Court of stealing an automo-
bile. AS result of that inquiry the
boy was committed to the training
school.
Senator McCarran brought out
that the boy had committed no Of
fense during the period of the in.
vestigation and indicated he thought
his problem might have been worked
out with his school teacher instead
of in the training school.
Mr.. Moore insisted efforts were
made to guide the boy and work
out his problem before the sentence
was imposed.
II don't think you bettered the
situation very much," remarked
Senator McCarran.

has forgotten them.
The campaign fer funds to send

The $500 goal was considered a
minimum when the Washington
Council Of Church Women started
its Needy Children's Camps" funds
drive a little less than two weeks
ago. 1t was understood that $500
would not be enough to send all the
chlldren who needed 1t to camp.
But 1t would have been enough
to make a few weeks of fresh air.
comfortable beds and good food
possible for the youngsters who
needed them most. Now only a third
OF those children. the most under
nourished, the palest, the ones from
the worst slums, can go to camp.
Every Dollar Means Day in Camp.
There is still time to make camp
possible Tor the rest of those chill
dren Every dollar contributed will
bring camp that much closer to a
child whose own parents are help
less to give it what it needs. II
$3.50 is sent in, a youngster' will
have a week Of camp. Twenty-Five
dollars will keep a child in camp
three weeks. Every dollar means a
day in camp.
The Washington Council of Church
Women also hopes that the NEEDY
Children's Camps" funds will be ma
terially benefited by an all-day pro-
gram to be held at the Reinhardt
stables in Langley, Va, on July 4.
The program includes a horse show
in the morning, races in the after
