Secretary of the Treasury pur-
chased a considerable number of the

$500 Army Troops
Will Be Reshuff|ed
To Improve Training
Goal Is to Place All Units
Of q Division Within
Single Corps Area
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
Reshuffling of $500 Regular Army
troops has been ordered by the War
Department as part of its plans
to improve training and quicken
emergency mobilization.
No posts will be abandoned, the
department said last night in an
nouncing the changes, but IS units
will be transferred to permit closer
grouping of the new "streamlined"
divisions.
The order will become effective be-
fore or upon the completion, prob
ably early in June, of war games
in Louisiana and Texas.
Regiments, battalions and other
units are scattered hundreds of miles
from peacetime division headquar-
tiers. New stations were selected, the
War Department said, with a view to
placing all units of a division in q
single corps area, or when that was
not practical, within a single field
Army area.
Corps Troops Still Dispersed.
Corps troops such as anti-aircraft
and heavy artillery regiments, which
reinforce the divisions in large
scale operations, will remain widely
dispersed, though many of the es-
sential units for one corps will be
centralized in the 4th Corps Area,
with headquarters in Atlanta.
The War Department said head
quarters of the new 5th Division
would be at Fort Benjamin Harri-
son, Ind, instead of Fort Sheridan,
ILL.,, and headquarters of the 9Th
Division would be at Fort Smelling,
Mimi, instead of Fort Lewis, Wash.
AS result of the rearrangement,
units of the 1st Division will be sta
toned in the 1st and I'd Corps areas
and entirely within the area of the
1st Army. Division headquarters
will remain at Fort Hamilton, N. Y
I'd Division Stays in Texas.
The I'd Division, less the 38th In
fantry, will be located as now at
Fort Sam Houston, Tex. The 38th
Infantry will remain divided between
Fort Douglas, Utah, and Fort Sill
Okla.
The Sd Division, with headquar-
ters at Fort Lewis, Wash, is to be
stationed entirely within the 9th
Corps area, most of its units being
at or near Fort Lewis.
The 5th Division will be central
lied entirely within the 5th Corps
area, except for the I'd Infantry
which is divided among posts in Iln-
nois and Michigan.
All elements of the 9Th Division
will be located in the 4th Army area
except the 1st Field Artillery, which
remains at Fort Sill.

The indictments climaxed six
months of investigation into gam

Only last month Frahm, accused
OF neglect of duty" was fired by
the new police commissioner, Frank

shake-up moves which came to be
called "Eaman's earthquake.
Two Detectives Jailed.
Since last fall Judge Ferguson,
empowered under Michigan law to
act alone as a grand jury, has been
examining suspected gamblers and
underworld figures. Two detectives,
involved in fixed" holdup, have
served Jail terms for contempt. A

Britain Awaits Reply

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 22.-Great Britain
will await Norways answer to Ques-
tions concerning the Altmark, Ger
man prison ship raided last week by
the British Navy in Norwegian
waters, before replying to Norway's
protest, a reliable source said today.
Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax
handed a series of questions last
week end to Norwegian Minister
Erik Colban. These included whether
the Altmark was searched and, if so,
what was found; what action the
Norwegian authorities would have
taken had they found prisoners
aboard, and why Norwegian war
ships were with the German vessel
If she were considered a merchant
man.
Norway, protesting against the
raid in which British prisoners were
freed from the Altmark, demanded
respect for Norwegian neutrality in
the future and said she expected
Britain to hand over the prisoners,
pay damages and give satisfaction. -
Since then Foreign Minister
Halvdan Koht reported to Norway s
Parliament that the Altmark had
the right to navigate in Norwegian
waters, regardless of whether she
carried prisoners, but denied that
Norway knew British prisoners were
aboard the vessel.

military authorities, 1t was an
nounced today, have issued new in
structions to all anti-aircraft units
to fire on any military planes flying
over Swedish territory.
The orders followed the bombing
of Pajala by Soviet Russian planes
yesterday, which brought indignant
demands in the Swedish press that
q protest to Moscow be followed by
insistence Of compensation and as
surances against a repetition.
Military experts continued inves-
legations of the bombing.

The bombs were believed to have
been intended for nearby Finnish
territory, but the incident brought
predictions that the Swedish "ac-
twist" movement for vigorous aid
to Finland would gain new impetus.

Committee, returning from visit
to Finland, announced last night
that recruiting of Swedish volun-
teers to help the Firms against
Russia would be intensified.
Sweden has refused officially to
send troops to Finland.
On January IA 10 bombs identi-
fed as Russian fell on Sweden's
Kallaks Island in the Gulf of Both

Four days later Russia apologized
for violating Swedish neutrality
