INSURANCE CODE
HEARING IS SET
Bill to Control Possession of
Weapons Amended at Com
mittee Session.

Hearings will start tomorrow at 10
am. in the House District committee
room on the insurance code for the
District, and Friday at 10 am. on the
bill to increase the pay of police and
flremen In the District.
The insurance code hearing will be
before the subcommittee of which Rep
resentative Reid Of Illinois Is chair
man, while the police and flremen's
pay bill hearing is before the subcom-
mittee Of which Representative Lampert
of Wisconsin is chairman. Interested
individuals and organizations are in
vited to attend.
The bill to control possession, sale,
transfer and use of pistols and other
dangerous weapons in the District was
considered today by the full District
committee. After considerable debate,
two amendments were adopted. One,
by Representative Tarver, Democrat, of
Georgia, would have the bill include
major odenses rather than less impor-
tant ones. The second, by Representa-
tive Palmisano, Democrat, of Maryland,
would leave in the discretion Of the
court imposition of an additional penalty
in less serious cases, and eliminated
from the bill the specific and man
datory penalties.
Acting Chairman Mcleod and Rep
resentative Stalker of New York en-
phasized that In approving this amend
ment the committee had defeated one
of the main purposes of the pending
legislation, which is to discourage those
likely to commit crimes from carrying
pistols or other dangerous weapons.
Consideration of the bill for amend
ments was not completed and the next
meeting will be held Saturday morn
ing, when a representative from the
corporation counsel's Office will be asked
to explain the existing code with refer
ence to the proposed legislation.
