NEW YORK POLICE
GET DICE EYEFULL
Swindle-Wise Cops Seize
Elaborate Gambling
Paraphernalia
NEW YORK, Sept 11—Ml— A
suite in an altra swank Park
Avenue hotel today yeilded to
police raiders the most elabo
rate paraphernalia for fleecing
the gullible in crooked card and
dice games that New York’s
swindle-wise cops ever saw.
Police who made the raid in
the fashionable hotel Marguer.v
said they found hundreds of
“educated” dice, carpenters
tools, electric wire, magnetos,
condensers and buzzer keys.
The electrical equipment ser
ved as an ingenious system of
card tipping, police said. A gam
bler, could sit unseen behind a
trick mirror, spot cards and
flash signals to a confederate
sitting in the game who could
detect the signals through spe
cially built shoes.
However, the hotel said' in a
statement that no intended vic
tims ever were brought there
nor did any gambling take place.
Police Notified
Gerald D. Slattery, the Mar
gery’s manager, said the ho
tel notified the police last Aug.
d that certain persons “had
checked into the hotel that morn
ing whose luggage and general
appearance created the suspi
c*°n that they might be travel
ing gamblers and confidence
men.”
The suspected persons were
allowed to remain in the hotel
under surveillance at police re
gnest. Slattery said.
Police said the ringleaders
'J5e(l attractive young women to

Four men found in the apart
m.er.t were held tor questioning.

WINSTON-SALEM, Sept.
11. —W— A water shortage
may force a partial shutdown
of this eity’s half-billion
dollar-a-year industries, in
cluding major cigarette and
hosiery factories.
One city official said today
the entire water supply
would be exhausted by mid
November at the present
rate of consumption and
with normal rainfall.
The Tihrd Army Head

able pipe line equipment to

The largest water consum

where a proposal will be
considered to shut down in
dustrial and commercial
water consumers for part
time each week in an effort
to avoid complete shutdowns.
An unusual drought this
summer led to the water
shortage. City officials be

Heat From Burning Sul
pher, Tar, Turpentine
Hamper Firemen
ATLANTA, Sept. 11.— (ff) —
Firemen tonight were battling
flames in the warehouse of the
Peaslee - Gaulbert corporation
which has caused an estimated
loss so far of $10,000,000 in stock
and which prompted the build
ing’s owner to write his losses
at $500,000.
Miss Frances Frazier, cashier
of the Peaslee corporation, said
the building occupied by her
firm and its subsidiary, Wright
Company, Inc., was filled with
general merchandise, paint, pa
per, radios, refrigerators, furni
ture and 'hardware.
Miss Frazier estimted the loss
at $10,000,000.
H. tx. Hastings, owner or the
building, said the replacement
value would be over $500,000
and said it was fully insured.
Firemen were hampered in
their efforts to fight the blaze,
which apparently originated on
the lower floor of the five-story
brick and concrete building, by
clouds of smoke issuing from
the basement and caused by
burning sulphur, paper, tar,
turpentine and paint.
Assistant Fire Chief F. J. Bow
en said firemen were unable to
enter the building and the struc
ture had been thoroughly gutted.
Bowen said he feared the walls
had been weakened by seeping
water and might possibly col
lapsg.
The Southern Railroad brake
man told firemen when he first
noticed the fire, blazing paint
was pouring through a galvan
ized iron loading platform.
AMMUNITION SHIP
SAILS FOR GREECE
C^rgo Vessel Leaves East

Shells, Mines
NEW YORK, Sept. 11 —(flt—
The New York Port of Em
barkation said today a cargo
ship sailed recently from an
Eastern port with a shipload of
ammunition for the Greek gov
ernment.
The announcement said the
ship carried three types of am
munition — mortar shells, anti
personnel mines and hand gren
ades—but the amount of each
was not disclosed.
Army officials declined to dis
close the exact date and place
of sailing, name of the vessel,
its time of arrival in Greece
or the port at which it will!
dock there.
Officers likewise declined to
divulge whether it was the only
such ship dispatched to Greece
or one of a number from various
ports.
Promised Arms
Under the $300,000,000 aid
program for Greece, the United

and munitions and other sup

Women Now Have Rival;
Typewriter Talks Back
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Sept. 11.
_iff)—And- now, a typewriter that
can talk back.
George Coffey, 59-year-old tool
company machinist and home
tinkerer, demonstrated his ma
chine today, and said that he
had obtained a patent on it.
Coffey said he believes the
machine will be of value to the
blind who are learning to type.
Through an arrangement of
electrical contacts ''-.id phono
graph, recorder and reproducer,
when the operator strikes the
Letter “W” for instance, the ma-j
chine promptly announces:
“double you.”
It repeats through a radio am
plifier the neme of whatever let
ter or number key is struck on
the typewriter keyboard.
Coffey said he first got the
idea of a talking typewriter back
in 1917, but not until 1937 did
he legin to work seriously on
the project.
He calls it the “Typovox” and
says the principle can be applied
to adding machines or cash re
gisters just as easily as to a
typewriter.
Allen Assures Iran Of Support
From U.S. To Retain Integrity;
Cherry Refuses Reinstatement
Ambassador Tries
To Subdue Fears
Repeated Russian Threats
Keeps Government In
“Jumpy” Mood
TEHRAN, Iran, Sept. 11. —W
— Ambassador George V. Allen
sought to counter Russian pres
sure for oil concessions from Iran
today with the declaration that
the United States has “dedicated
its full energy and resources to
free people of the world from
fear of aggression.” Iranians, he
declared, “may rest assured that
the American people will sup
port fully their freedom to make
their own choice.”
The ambassador’s statement,
made at the end of a speech pre
pared for delivesy before the
Iran-American Relations Society
and distributed to the local and
foreign press, apparently was an
answer to widely repeated ap
peals by many Iranian officials
for a specific statement of Amer
ican policy to offset growing So
viet radio and press attacks on
Iran.
A member of parliament said
yesterday he no longer was so
sure parliament would reject a
proposed agreement for a Russian
oil concession because of Soviet
Ambassador Sadchikov’s “ulti
matums and threats.” A proposed
U. S. military credit of $25,000,
000 might be turned down unless
the U. S. State Department spoke
out plainly, this member said.
Policy Stands
Allen’s statement also was
made shortly before it was of
ficially reported that a British
note to the government had rec
ommended that Iran not close

RESULTS OF CAPTURE—
Colonel William Lamb in com

a report after the fall of the
fort which was brief. He re
counted in his report that he
had a half mile of land face,
and one mile of sea face to
defend with 1.900 men He
wrote he knew every company
present and its strength. That
number included the killed,
wounded and sick at the time
of the assault.
To capture the fort, the Fed

wounded and missing. Nineteen
hundred Confederates v/ith 4
guns fought against 10,000
Union troops^ ashore and
600 heavy guns afloat. Histori

PERSONALITIES — Several
interesting incidents are report
ed as occuring during and aft
er the battle. Several concern
ed General Whiting. It is noted
that actually General Whiting
did not hold command although j
he was the ranking officer for
the Confederacy.
He had not been assigned to
the fort. But he was determined
to do his share and volunteered
for duty. Colonel Lamb, com
mander, offered to relinquish
that position when General i
Whiting appeared but the latter
declined to take the post and
any glory that might come for
defense of the fortification.
One incident related is that
at the peak of the fighting when
approximately 100 projectiles a
minute were being hurled into
the fortifications, the General
was seen “standing with folded
arms, smiling upon a 400-pound
shell, as it stood smoking and
spinning like a billard bail on
the sand not 20 feet away until
it burst, and then moved quiet
ly away.”
At another point when he saw
the Federal flags planted on the
traverses, he called to troops to

_ *
RALEIGH, Sept. 11. — m —
Governor Cherry, following *
hearing by over 70 persons, to
day refused to reinstate three
former State Highway Patrol
men who resigned last month
following charges of beating a
recaptured prisoner.
The former patrolmen are C.
L. Teague, John Wilson and Ar
thur Fields.
A delegation of friends, law
enforcement officers, and soma
members of the General Assem
bly personally petitioned the
governor for the reinstatement
of the men, and cited the records
and character of the ex-patrol
men.
The three resigned following
charges of cruel beating of Claude
Gregory, Cleveland county man
who is a prisoner of the Halifax
county camp. The beating alleg
edly occurred August 22.
Gregory, who is serving from
five to six years for breaking
, and entering, escaped from the
camp on August 21, but was
recaptured the following day. He
is alleged to have been beaten
by saplings and a highway patrol
cartridge belt upon his recap
ture near Littleton.
Governor Positive
Governor Cherry was positive
in his stand.
“I have a duty to perform,
just as some of you law enforce
ment officers,” 'the governor
said. “However, in no event can
these men be reinstated, or sent
back to their former divisions
in which they served.
“I promise you that I will do
what I can to obtain employment
for these men. I have been told
they had fine records prior to
the beating incident, and I am
aware of the circumstances

it.

“There is no such person as
a bad boy,” emprasized James
Copeland, executive director of
the Wilmington Lions Club yes
terday.
“We have only the misinform
ed boy or the misguided boy,”
continued the speaker.
“The major reason for that
faulty information and wrong
guidance is the parent. What
ever the individual opinion of a
boy, it remains true that the
boys are our boys and are Wil
mington’s responsibility.”
“The Brigade Boys Club is
seeking to solve the problems
arising in a boy’s life during the
period when school closes and
the time for going to bed. Un
questionably the boy problem is
a matter of assisting the boy
how to use wisely and profit
ably his leisure time.”
Club Nonplussed
The Lions were nonplussed
when the president read a letter
from the New Castle Pennsyl
vania, Lions tclub accepting an
invitation of a Wilmington Lion,
name anonymous, for the 90 New
Castle Lions to be guests of the
Wilmington club for a week at
Wrightsville Beach. The only
solution proffered was a motion
that the Wilmington club dis

To illustrate his philos

had a dog given to him. The
dog subsequently let a car
