DILLINGER'S

ARMOURY

11

Leading Gangster's Weapons

Dillinger's weapons in his recent battles with the police are, ironi- cally enough, police weapons. The most formidable items in his Armoury are the Thompson sub- machine guns, chosen «by the "po- lice for anti-gangster work be- cause of thelz lightness and

volume of fire.

Although Mr. Walter B. Ryan, the 40-year-old head of the sole Issuing company, the Auto-Ordin- ance Corporation of New York has tightened up the already strict regulations with regard to the sale of guns, ft,la estimated that about 12 per cent. per year pass into the hands of gangsters, either through raids сл police armouries OT through bogus companies.··

None of the guns-which were invented by Bri-Gen. John “T. Thompson during the war-have been made later than 1921, when the contracts ran out.

300 Shots A Minute The volume of fre of the guri is remarkable considering its weight.

Its circular drums, attached in front of the trigger-guar", have a 20- or 50- cartridge cap_Jity, and the rate of fire--including chang- ing of magazines-is 300 shots a minute for the standard gun.

Once they have the guns., the ammunition presents no dimculty to the gangsters, as, among others," any 45 revolver ammunition will fit the drums. The psychological effect of these deadly weapons can be testined to by policemen who have let themselves be disarmed at the mere sight of a Thompson gun trained on them.

RADIO ANNOUNCERS

(To the Editor of "The Hong Kong Dally "Press"}

Sir. Would it not be possible for the names of the announcers to be published in the wireless pro- grammes as is done by the British Broadcasting Corporation which brings a more personal element into broadcasting as the British Broadcasting Corporation have found.

This would then enable listeners to express their views. We are Invited to give our views upon the programmes, and if my suggestion is adopted we could then criticize or praise the various announcers as we are asked to criticize.or praise the programinės.

I shall be pleased to hear the views of other fisteners.—I am. Sir

FOUR WICKETS DROP FOR

50

Short Of 204 Runs With Two Wickets In Hand

Australia gave promise. "of drawing up to England's total of 827 for 9 declared until the tea interval, when by cautious bat- ting the score reached 373 for 4. Disaster overtook the side al- ter that as Tour more wickets dropped in the remaining hour with the addition of only 50 runs. P

A feature of the day's play was the magnificent batting dis- play by McCabe, who made a very material contribution of 137 runs when Australia was in dire need. McCabe was taken in the slips by Hendley Verity off Hammond...." W. A. Brown, a century hliter in the First Test, assisted with 72 runs when ŋ he was caught at square leg by Walters off the bowling of Clark.
