FILA officials have declared the
main purpose of the legislation
to be to expedite constructor oo OF
housing costing less than Slo'Voo
il for occupancy by veterans.
Materials Property
Pr:orities, which are placed on
building materials from the lime
they are manufactured Until they
are utilized in actual construction
will be given individual veterans
and builders who agree to give the
veterans Of World War II prefer
ence in renting and buying the
structures.
Applications for priorities may
be obtained from any FILA flelc
office.
The $4,000 ceiling placed on the
sales of houses, including lano
and improvements, or the $50 PEI
month rental are maximum r.
res under which builders mus
stay in order to take advantage o
the priority system.
That" the building and loan OF
fc.al said, "is another bad feature
of the FILA plan, from our stand
point. If we get materials througl
the priority system, tell the gov
eminent that we estimate tn
house will cost $1,000, say, and tn
cost is greater than that, we lost
on the deal because that is tn
highest figure we can charge"
Besides the $4,000 ceiling TO-
purchase of homes and the $40 pc
month rental charge, the FIJI
r. --lations also stipulate that:
1. Applicants must furnish de
l scription of the structures they plal

Drawing the Teeth From Weapons Of War

In short, simple operation. a dan
gerous weapon is fixed so that children
or inexpert persons cannot kill or injure
themselves or others, and gangsters,
should they acquire such a weapon,
cannot blast their way through another
crime.
The law also provides a 50 900 fine or
five years imprisonment for willful vio-
lation. ATU investigators are not
cracking down. on holders Of war
trophies, believing that the reason that
most Of them have not registered weap-
ons is that they have been unaware of
the act and its purpose.
Drive Begun to Halt
Criminal Use of Weapons
When the drive began, Joseph Nunan,
commissioner of internal revenue, said !:
I'VE have hesitated to do anything to
hinder service families in the enjoyment
Of their richly earned trophies of war.
However, our attention has been called
to several instances in recent months
where criminals have stolen or other
wise acquired war trophy guns and
have used such weapons for criminal
purposes. am issuing these precautions
for the safety of both service families
and the public at large"
The ATU never lacks for argument
on the safety angle. Its files are full Of
accounts Of the toll which "unloaded"
guns take. Clippings detail the tragedy

but their morale had to be maintained.
1T WAS then that Lady Astor was
simply magnificent. She worked end
lessly long hours doing all she could for
the people, comforting some whose rels-
tives had been buried under debris,
cheering up every one, helping folks get
food and clothing and planning pro-
grams to keep up their spirits"
Arranged Cliff Dances
In Face of Enemy Planes
The Astors hired military band and
arranged for dancing up on the Hoe"
a. big grassy cliff overlooking the sea.
Every night some 500 or 900 persons
danced and for little while would for
get the horrors of war; Lord Astor said.
There was always the risk we had to
take that a plane would swoop down
from out Of the skies. But it was worth
the risk"
A mobile dental clinic was another of
Lady Astor's projects. replacing the
ofIices that had been blitzed to useless
ness. They got hold of big theater in
Plymouth and arranged free concerts on
Sunday nights for everybody in uni
form. Some 1900 service men and
women attended each concert.
While willing to confirm certain tales
OF his wifes wit, Lord Astor did not sub
scribe to others. He agreed to her ardor
and scintillating wit but not, as has been
said. that she has rapier-like tongue. >"
Rather, in his opinion. her friends and
foes alike have experienced her quick
ness
There was the report after Lady Astor
went to Moscow that she said, II don't
dislike Russian Communism. Lord
Astor said he was sure she did not say
that. What I think she may have said
was that she didn't dislike Russians :"

~ 1NCE last September the Alcohol
Tax Unit of the Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue has been engaged
IN one of the most fascinating
"roundups" Of its time. In a drive to
enforce the National Firearms Act,
which falls in its jurisdiction, it is en-
deavoring to locate and register thou
sands Of war souvenir" firearms. There
a two-fold purpose In the job-na-
tional security and personal safety.
1t is stupendous task and the unit
has made considerable headway, but it
cannot tell how near complete the work
Is, for there is no census of firearms
and thousands have been surreptitiously
slipped past the customs in days when
there were few restrictions in their
traf1ic. But when a madman in the
from machine pistol designed for
battle or a boy in the West loses
few fingers experimenting with his GI
fathers war trophy, or gangster in
some city leaves an empty souvenir"
after staging a robbery, it is quite ap-
parent where the weapons are.
The Alcohol Tax Unit is trying to
prevent the needless loss of life and
limb through careless or criminal usage
Of the weapons of war by getting their
owners to register them and making
them harmless but still useful as
trophies. The unit gets the job because
Cd a clause of the act provides 5000
Federal tax for transfer of certain
firearms, and that makes it a revenue
proposition, and Cd it is best equipped
to handle the detail through its field
Offices all over the country.
The internal revenue Office in WASH
ington already has been impressed with
two facts concerning enforcement. The
firearms which have been registered
have not been connected with any re-
ported crime and such war trophies
as have been seized in the course of

clinics of life problems" He believes
they are worthwhile for several reasons:
They provide a first-hand knowledge
Of the workings Of American law and
American courts, they give youngsters
an insight into unpleasant sides of life
which he thinks should make them more
appreciative Of their own advantages,
and they show criminals as they really
are.
Nearly hundred high school students
from suburban Kenmore attended a re.
cent session at which a typical grist Of
cases was handled:
Two motorists who had been racing"
on main thoroughfare at am; several
persons brought in for drunken and
disorderly conduct; quartet of crap
shooters; man who has Borrowed"
some ones watch Ito get some money
for lady; woman whose tavern ac-
quaintances had dared" her to 60 into
a police station (where she had created
Disturbance; a husband who had
deserted his wife. And q befuddled man
who had called a police car without
apparent reason.
After the cases were disposed Of,
Judge Kelly called the young specta-
tors to the bench for a talk on Ameri-
can law and court procedure. He em-
phasized that fundamentally crime is
not humorous neither is it attractive"
He told about girl who had asked
him at previous session where the
"elamorous' criminals were-"the ones
who used long, black cigarette holders,
like George Raft in the movies"
There were no 'glamorous' criminals
here that day. and you saw none to-
day." Judge Kelly said
question period followed, in which
the youngsters showed . keen interest
in Judge Kelly's explanation of his de.
cisions
Last to leave was a bright-eyed IL.
year-old. who said earnestly to the
Judge:
Seeing these cases today has cer-
tainly made me realize how easy it Is
to get into trouble. I'm going to be
mighty careful from now on, believe me-"
