A shipment of 280 bolt-action Springfield rifles arrived at the NROTC armory last week, according to Capt. Reed M. Fawell, professor of naval science and tactics.
These 30-30 rifles will be used only for drill by the local unit, Captain Fawell said. They are the standard arms employed in all military and naval training of reserve officers.
The ROTC students later will hold target practice with .22 rifles in the indoor range on the second floor of the Physical Education building. This hall, originally constructed for the purpose, has metal-plate bullet catchers behind the targets and deflectors on the side walls to stop wild shots.
A 4-inch gun, of the type mounted on old war-time destroyers, will be placed in the armory in the basement. In the armory now, to be used in future instruction, are a Lewis machine gun, two Browning automatic rifles, a range finder, and a torpedo director. During the week the SC unit will receive a torpedo.
Slovakia Joins Axis Powers
Bulgaria May Sign With Nazi Alliance
BERLIN, Nov. 24—<r.P>—Slovakia today followed Hungary and Rumania into the German-Italian-Japanese alliance and a Bulgarian delegation was reported enroute to Berlin to sign with the Axis powers.
The protocol signed by Slovakia was identical with that signed yesterday by Rumania. The signers were foreign minister Joachim yon Ribbentrop for Germany: Premier Adalbert Tuka for Slovakia, Am-basador Saburo Kurusu for Japan and Gino Buti for Italy. BULGARIA MAY SIGN
Should Bulgaria join the alliance this week, as seems probable, the Axis powers will nave driven a passageway for their troops to the Turkish border, barely 100 miles from the vital straits of the countries of southern Europe except embattled Greece and Jugoslavia, which then will be encircled.
In brief speeches which followed the signing, Ribbentrop welcomed the Slovaks and Tuka voiced Slovakia’s happiness at' joining the Axis. Ribbentrop said the Germans and Slovaks long had worked for justice and peace and expressed the hope that German-Slovak solidarity would continue. Tuka said that signing the protocol “established documentarily’' the fundamental idea already endorsed by Slovakia.
‘MERE FORMALITY”
The addition of Slovakia was a mere formality, as the country has been a virtual German protectorate since the breakup of Czechoslovakia. Large numbers of German troops have been quartered there for more than a year.
Gen. Ion Antonescu and others of the Rumanian delegation left Berlin by special train at 10:20 a.m. Ribbentrop and other German officials saw them off.
