Garand Rifle Criticism
In Committee Records
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Adoption of the Garand semi-auto-
matte rifle by the Regular Army
was described by Maj. Gen. M. A.
Reckord of the Maryland National
Guard as a backward" step in rec
ords of testimony before a House
appropriations committee published
today.
Gen. Reckord testified before the
committee as executive vice presi-
dent of the National Rifle Associa-
ton, and declared the Garand rifle
was inferior to the old Springfield
from standpoint of accuracy.
my opinion" he added, "is that a
great mistake has been made in
adopting the present MI (Garand)
rifle with the M-2 ammunition. The
M-2 ammunition that has been
adopted for this rifle is nothing more
nor less than the 1906 ammunition
which we discarded 20 years ago."
He added that when the Garand
was chosen it was designed for a
.276-caliber cartridge, but that in
sistence was made that the .3O-cal-
ber size be retained, and the rifle
was remodeled.

there had been quarrel between
Miss De Vault and Hardman be-
cause the girl wanted to 60 to Bal
timore and enter training as nurse
He insisted she marry him, the
sheriff said. He quoted from a let
ter written to Mrs. De Vault:
Mother, I'm in love with Ray
and almost feel as though I would
like to marry him. But II
would be foolish, wouldn't it? II
l thought there wasn't any hope OF
my ever being a nurse, I would
marry him, but I think there is"
Mrs. De Vault had separated from
her husband, Joseph De Vault, q
glassworker at Weston, w. Va.
about four years ago. Her four
daughters had lived together, with
Frances acting as head Of the
family"
