AMERICAN’S GUARD
HOUSE LIKE AN ARSENAL SYDNEY, August 28. _ ' Mr. G. A. Robinson, managing director of New England Airways, Ltd., had an opportunity, during his recent visit to the United States, of discovering how rich men guard themselves and their families against kidnapping gangs. Mr. Robinson was the guest of Mr. E. L. Corde, an outstanding investor in American aviation companies. The entrance gate to Mr. Corde’s home was locked when Mr. Robinson’s car arrived, and an armed guard carefully inspected the party before the car was admitted. Other armed guards patrolled the grounds. The residence was an arsenal. In every room there was a drawer containing an automatic revolver. As a result of threats by a kidnapping gang, Mr. Corde subsequently left the United States for England.
