Felony Status in
W|eaponsCases
Bill Would Fix
Heavier Penalties
For Gun-Curriers
By Horoyd B. ROGERS

: The Senate yesterday acted to
make carrying OF concealed weapons
q felony, with much sitter penal
ties than provided In District law,
which now labels the offense mis-
derneanor.
Approving q House-passed bill
with an amendment, the Senate
sent the measure back to the
House. where it probably viii go to
conference. The House measure
had left the offense misdemeanor,
but authorized police to make ar
rests, without warrant, on probable
cause that the suspect was violat-
ing the Concealed Weapons Act.
Both House and Senate versions
Of the bill would amend the present
Concealed Weapons Act.
Cooper Hits House Bill.
In acting on the House bill the
Senate approved an amendment by
Senator Cooper, Republican, Of
Kentucky. a former judge, who
twice before had blocked Senate
passage Of the measure, His amend
ment is virtually a substitute for
language of the House bill.
Senator Cooper today reiterated
his position that the House version
would be a virtual invasion of the
Fourth Amendment to the Con-
stitution," which would lead to a
gradual destruction of the Bill
of Rights"
Under the House measure, he
contended, police might be per-
mitted to search and seize persons
for minor offenses-eyen of traf-
fic laws-in violation of their con-
stitutional protection against such
search and seizure i
Penalties in the present Con-
eealed Weapons Act would be left
unchanged by the House bill, Sem
ator Cooper said. There would be
no minimum penalty and they
would run up to only $1,000 max
imum fine, or a Jail sentence of not
more than one year.
Would Increase Terms.
BY making the offense a felony
as Endorsed by the Seante, the
legislator explained, the penalties
would be increased, with a minimum
fine Of $500, but not more than
$4,000, or by Imprisonment for not
less than one year and not more
than three years, or by both.
Such penalties, the Senator con-
tended, would be heavy enough to
act as a stronger curb on carrying
concealed weapons.
There Is no excuse, anyway"
he emphasized, "for carrying a con-
cealed weapon"
Other d. C. Acts Cited.
Two other District acts might be
used by police against concealed
weapons, Senator Cooper pointed
out. One is the Vagrancy Act, under
which persons may be picked up
for lettering. Another is a section
of the District Code, which provides
that on conviction of a felony the
accused may be imprisoned five
years for the first offense, 10 years
for the second and is years for the
third.
Senator Cooper pointed out that
police may make arrest, and search
of a person without warrants, and
on probable cause for felony, but
he insisted they should not have
such authority in case of misde-
meanor. He is confident, therefore,
that his substitute for language in
the House bill would strengthen law
enforcement dangers of concealed
weapons here.

Stock Market Uneven
Declines Of Fractions
To 81 Predominate
By Victor Eubonk
A.seeia,ed Pres. FinaneicI Writsr

NEW YORK, Dec. 2o.-Eforts to
revive the stock market were more
or less futile today although as
sorted issues managed to make a
little headway.
Dealings quickened at intervals
as trends wavered but slowdowns
were plentiful. Declines of fractions
to point or so predominated near
the fourth hour.
There was some professional
short covering and timid buying
elsewhere on the idea an upswing
might eventuate after the turn of
the year. The question OF economic
developments in 1948 accentuated
speculative and investment caution
and numerous customers either
trimmed accounts or stood aside
to await coming events.
Among stocks in the resistant di.
vision were United States Steel
Bethlehem Steel, Republic Steel
Studebaker, Warren Petroleum, Sim
clair Oil, International Harvester
American Telephone, international
Nickel. American Smelling and In
ternational Paper.
