New 7 ype ~ Co|iber Rifle
Is Machine Gun by D. G. Law

A type of .22-caliber rifle capable
of firing Is shots without reloading
is a machine gun under District law
regarding firearms, Inspector l.. I.
H. Edwards, acting superintendent
of police, informed precinct COM
manders yesterday, in a memoran-
dunn instructing them to inform
dealers in guns of the status of this
type of weapon.
Inspector Edwards explained the
memorandum was based upon an
opinion offered by the District At
torney's office. He said several
Washington stores recently had
been offering the 15-shot rifle for
sale, and the Police Department
called on the District Attorney for
a ruling. The opinion confirmed
that originally held by the depart
ment, the acting police mead added.
Under District regulations, ma
chine gun is weapon which can
be fired more than IL times without
reloading. The ruling is important,
Inspector Edwards said, because the
law provides further than no ma
chine gun may be sold in the Capt.
tai except to duly authorized law
enforcement officers, members of the
United States armed forces and
bank, post office and public carrier
guards.
Dealers known to have been
stocking this new type of % rifle
promptly agreed to withdraw it from
sale when informed of the regula-
lions, according to Inspector Ed
wards.
The local definition of a machine
gun does not coincide with the
Federal Interpretation, however, an
inquiry at the Federal Bureau of
Investigation revealed. An official
of that Department of Justice
agency said under the Federal law
the 15-shell % would not be a

Urges in Radio Talk
Advocates Declaration
Of Emergency to Give

BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Admiral
William H. Standley, retired United
States chief of naval operations, ad-
vocated tonight the transfer of re-
conditioned United States destroyers
to Great Britain ito keep the enemy
from our shores"
To avoid conflict with the 1917 law
prohibiting transfer of Navy vessels,
Admiral Standley suggested in a
radio address that Coz .gress declare
national emergency and give the
President full powers, including
whatever disposition of our Army
Navy and air force is called for by
the public interest"
"Our feet was built and main
tanned to keep the enemy from our
Shores" said the former commander
of the United States Battle Fleet,
"and in the face of the emergency
that threatens us today I would
abort that menace, use them for the
purpose for which they were built
and maintained, to keep the enemy
4IOn our SnOTeS.
One of a group who last June
singed petition urging that the
United States declare a state of war
existing between itself and Ger
many, Admiral Standley said that
"the only thing standing between
us an6 the ire of German power
is the British fleet"
Even If we are not on Hitler's
timetable for direct attack" he
said, I'VE are in line for his pincers
For Europe must continue to have
the xaw materials of the Western
Hemisphere"
Asserting that "our trade freedom
depends entirely upon sea power"
Admiral Standley said that if the
dictators should get control of the
seas and wage "a war of strangula-
tion," American trade would dimin-
ish, living standards would decline
and any effort to live in any degree
of political or religious liberty
would bring down upon us the spec
ter of starvation or threat of direct
attack"
Let US have total defense, and
have it now" he declared, adding
that if Great Britain were defeated
the United States should "open our
ports to their ships and continue
the battle until final victory"
