GUNS BY MAIL
HARD PROBLEM
FOR POLICE
Inspector Edwards Planning
to Obtain Help to Curb
Present Practice

Aroused by publication in The
Washington Times of story to
the effect that children are able
to purchase firearms, knives, fire
works and noise-makers from out
of-town mail order houses, In.
Spector L. I. H. Edwards, acting
police chief, stated today he
planned conference with his
aides to determine what steps
if any, could be taken to curb
the practice.
Rendering a "curbstone" opin-
ion, Inspector Edwards said he
doubted whether any law in
the District could be brought into
play to put an end to the trans
actions. He said that such a
business as carried on by the
mail order firms comes under the
heading of interstate commerce
and as such is controlled by the
Federal Government.
The story which aroused the
ire of the acting police chief con-
cerned 12-year-old John Draco-
poulos, 5000 block Thirteenth st.
N. w. The child saw an adver-
tisement in a magazine a month
ago regarding harmless" 25-
cent pistol, which shot .22-caliber
cartridges. He sent away for it
and also enclosed so cents for
100 cartridges. The day after he
purchased the absolutely safe"
pistol, the boy wounded himself
in the left hand and almost lost
his index finger.
Inspector Edwards pointed out
that local regulations prohibit the
sale of weapons to children, such
as the so-called harmless" gun
which John Dracopoulos bought,
as we'll as the knives, firearms
and fireworks, which the mail
order catalogue advertised.
Just Sent Name
The boy, when interviewed by a
Times reporter, said all he had
to do was send on his name, ad::
dress and the necessary money
and IT can get a real gun, pistol,
knife or anything they've got in
the catalogue"
