New York, Dec. 18.
The former chairman of the Board of Directors of McKesson & Robbins and former president of the Remington Rand Company, Mr. Saunders Norvell, told the press today that he did not believe "Coster (Philip Musica), could have obtained arms to ship abroad."
He said munition makers lack stocks of military rifles and ammunition. Moreover, he pointed out, the munition manufacturers, through violations of the Neutrality Act, would be afraid of losing their best customer the United States Government.
Mr. Norvell disclosed that he had sold McKesson & Robbins, Inc., to Coster for U-S.$1,000,000 in cash. The deal, however, did not include the real estate belonging to the old established drug firm, he said—United Press.
