Policemen, hunters and others
who might like to buy body
armor like the gear worn by
troops in Korea will probably
have to wait q while, at least.
Navy and Justice Department
officials said yesterday the pos
sibility Of q court order to pre-
vent sales to civilians, at least
temporarily, was being consid-
cred.
Promptly spokesman for the
L. w. Foster Sportswear Co. of
Philadelphia. producers Of the
armored vests. declared: mo
court order will be necessary to
have the firm comply with the
desires Of the Navy Department
and the Marine Corps"
The Government officials had
said they planned to block sales
Of the laminated plastic armor
until the advisability Of putting
such q product on the open
market could be studied.
The Navy said it seemed some
controls, like those on the sale
Of automatic weapons. should be
worked out. It pointed out that
bank robbers. as well as bank
guards, could find use for the
armor.
The Foster company spokes-
man said his organization had
turned its factory inside out"
to meet the Marine Corps first
