Y~fl4Order Guns tEnder U.S. Scrutiny Early in December of last year, a young boy in Washington, D.C., received a package by Railway Express, opened it, and excited- ly called a young friend to come over ta see his new purchase. It was a "mail-order gun." In the process Of examining ht to find out how it worked the young visitor was fatally shot. The boy who received this gun did not have parental approval for its purchase. They did not know he had it. He had no legal right, as a juvenile, to possess it anyway. Incidents such as this have tou::hed off a searching congres- sional inquiry-still in process- into tis multibillicn-dollar busi- ness cf "mai:-err gun which has sprung up wIthin the rat ew years. InvesJigators for tho Sn::te Subcommittee on Juvenilo De- linquency, under Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D of Connecticut, report that most of these guns ar cf foreign manufacture. They corne from Italy or West Germany. Many are as smali as toys. They sell from $6 up, but are as deadly as any six-shooter. They may be ordered by mail with no declaration as to the age of the purchaser. And shipment by Railway Express avoids the stricter requirements of the p îst- al laws. The subcommittee has reason to believe many of these guns are finding their way into the hands of juvenile gangs and into the possession of the mentally irresponsible. The New York police told in- vestigators of one company charged with converting blank guns into '22's and selling them to children. This led, in one case, ta a tragedy similar to the one ln Washington. The Senate subcommittee has a veritable arsenal of exhibits, from the tiny vestpocket Italian lsnport to larger guns, obviously rebult Army castoffs. In fact, it has been found that many of the mark-down, bar- gain, maila-order guns are of Army origin, having been sold as erap and reconditioned for sale by cutting down the barrel and putting on a new handle, writes Josephine Ripley in the Christ- Ian Science Monitor. Subcommittee investigators now are in the process of going through thousands of Railway Express receipts to find out how mnany of these guns have gone to juveniles. Il the course o investigation they have various dodges by which those who ship these guns are avoiding the firearmns tax. A committee investigator show- ed this correspondent several types of revolvers with a phony barrel which can be uascrewed and a roal barrel inserted. In mre cases the nuthentic barrel LAST STRAW - Kooky pig- tails grow under the brim of a beach hot that mokes its unseosonal debut in London. comes in the same box; in other cases it may be obtained separ- ately. Guns with a nonusable bar- rel are not taxed as firearms. Hence, the shipment of the good barrel s a separate part. Dut, as the investigator painted out, the gun could be used even without the real barrel simply by removing the phony one and firing the bullet through the stub of the gun. The biggest mail-order gun business is done in California and New York. Both of these states have tight laws regulating the sale of .firear-ms within their own borders, but since the mail- order house deals in interstate commerce, it is not hampered by state restrictions. Such business can be started on a small capital of a few thous- and dollars and run up to a mil- lion dollars in a short time. Many - "shady characters" are reported to be engaged in this profitable enterprise. One is said to have been a previous peddler of pornography. These guns come to the atten- tion of juveniles through adver- tisemrrent in sports magazines - such as Guns, True, and Male- or the so-called "girlie" type pub- lication. United States gun manufactur- ers have told Senate investigators that it would cost more than $40 here to produce the Italian gun which sells here for around $12 and which, they estimate, costs less than a dollar to manufacture there. The subcommittee has ready for exhibition in its firearms dis- play a pencil - type gun, very much like a ball-point pen with a pocket clip, which sells for $2. It was manufactured as a tear- gas gun, but can take a smali .22 shell vwhich "will go through a Los Angeles telephone direc- tory!" t-z FIRST MAN - John Uelses, 24, native Germon now serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, becomes the first mon ever to pole voult 16 feet or better as he deors 16 feet, I inch for a wurld indoor record in the Milîrose Meet held in New York. -a: - CLASSIFIED BABY CHICKS SPRING chicks should be ordered now.
