The required endorsement or nOmi-

Yet, it has been said, there is
really nothing to prevent a Com
munist or a felOn from falsifying
his certificate, or forging someone's
name as endOrser, if he really

of NRA. True enough, but if he
does, and if it is ever discovered,
we then have the means within our

This, then, is another means of
maintaining our membership above
reprOach-the constant and careful
vigilance of those thousands of
men and women of good repute
who make up the National Rifle

to expel for cause are provided to
help them-to help yOu-to main

On Our Honor

Il certify that / am citizen Of
the United States, rs years of age
or Olderi that I am not a member
Of any organization which has as
any part Of its program the at
tempt to overthrow the govern
ment of the United States by force
or violence; that I have never
been convicted Of a felony or crime
OF violence; and that, If admitted
to membership, ] viii fulfill the
obligations Of good craftsmanship
and good citizenship"
Because the National Rife As
sOciatiOn Of America is almost the
oldest patriotic" association in the
country, dedicated to the welfare
and the support of our nation; be-
cause Of certain functions with
which it is entrusted by the Con-
gFess of the United States; and be-
cause it is a membership Organiza-
tiOn-not just so many subscribers
to a good magazine-every individ-
ual who seeks to be one of us
must sign the certificate 1 have
quoted above.
Any loyal citizen of good repute
should not be reluctant to declare
the facts set forth, or to ask some
friend who is already a member OF
NRA to nominate him for member
ship. Any intelligent person should
not question the need for such g
declaration, Or-if he meets the
qualifications Of loyalty and repu-
tatiOn-object to afiixing his name
to it. Yet, there are some who
question either the need or the
wisdom of thus attempting tC
screen our members and to assure
ourselves of the high standard ot
our associates.
Ever since 1903, when the Ma.
tiOnal Board for the Promotion ot

being, Congress has looked upor

purged itself of its faults.
Each member of an affiliated
club, just as each individual can
didate for membership in NRA,
must subscribe to the certificate of
loyalty, and be subject to expulsion
if his certificatiOn is found to be
false.
So far I have been concerned
with our responsibilities to Con
gress and to the national security.
But we have an equal responsible
ity to society.
The National Rife Association of
America has steadfastly maintain
ed that the right of citizens of good
repute to keep and bear arms for
recreation, for self protection, and
for national defense should not be
abridged. We believe just as stout
ly that the individual who has com
mitted a felony or a crime of vio-
lence or has a notOriOusly bad
character should be denied that
right.
If our stand on this principle ia
to be respected, then we must see
to it that the membership Of our
Association is beyond reprOach.
This we attempt to do to the best
of our ability. The certificate of
loyalty is one means to that end.

lace,
Before a rifle club can affiliate
with the Director of Civilian
Workmanship and thus become en-
titled to the loan of rifles and tar
get materials and similar assist
ance in carrying out its marksman-
ship training program, it first must
be an affiliate of NRA.
Before any citizen, other than
some in the Armed Forces, can
purchase from the Federal Govern
ment a surplus rife or ammunition,
or spare parts, or target materials
for maintaining his own prOiicien-
cy in craftsmanship, he must first
produce evidence that he is a mem
Der in good standing of the Nation
al Rife Association of America.
These, we believe, are wise pro-
visions, albeit they place a load of
grave responsibility upon our AS
sOciatiOn. The tasks which have
been assigned to us by Congress
are to see to it that those clubs are
composed of good and loyal citizens
who will use the arms and ammu-
milton to which they are entitled in
defense of-not in opposition to
this great nation of ours: and that
the individuals to whom such ma
terials are sold, are trustworthy
and loyal and of good repute.
Every club which applies for af-

is resident and by The Adjutant

Weather is a, big factor, Mutt

Senator Mccarthy has clashed

A series of disturbances on and

The trouble reached a climax
Monday afternoon when a gang
of about 800 boys, coming from

in time to dispel the youths and
avert a potential fight.
Since then police have been
visiting the school each after

Capt. Peters said he believed
the trouble stemmed from a Sc

In one of them, a 14-year-old

A new building to house ac-

posed today by the House APP
preparations Committee.
The recommendation was car
ried in the Interior Department

The committee recommended
that up to $4,000 of the surveys

ton of plans and specifications

izing legislation"
This fund would remain avail
able until spent.
Awaits Senate Action.
The leaSe-purchase bill which
already has passed the House
and is now awaiting action by
the Senate, would authorize the
Government to enter into con-
tracts for buildings or sites un-
uer a plan by which annual pay
ments by the Government would
ne credited toward the eventual
purchase of the property.
The survey has been request
ing a new building for several
years. The committee today rec
commended to the House that
steps should be taken to meet
the needs.

Mccarthy Methods Hurt
His Cause, Kean Says

Representative Kean, Republl-

Mccarthy had done more harm
than good to the cause he
avows."
Noting that Americans like
fair play for ALL" Mr.. Kean said:
"By the methods Mccarthy
has used in his committee, by his
way of handling some witnesses,
he has often aroused sympathy
for many who deserve no SYM
pathy."
Mr.. Kean made his comments
in statement yesterday from
his House Office, saying he felt
"the people who elected me to
office have a right to know my
views on the subject"
The methods Senator McCar-
thy uses in his probe of commu-

marily the responsibility of the

committee amended the bill to
| exempt all pleasure boats Ii
censed here from the Districts
personal property tax except
those which are used as a place
of abode"
The Case fiscal subcommittee
earlier had proposed that the
exemption be granted to water
craft which were under 16 feet
in length or $500 in value. Dis
trict Finance Officer James L.
Martin had argued, however,
that this would cause more trou-
BILE and work for the assessors
than would be worthwhile in the
light of an expected small re-
turn. Further, it was found that
some canoes and other small
pleasure craft are longer than
Is feet.
Chairman Case said he did not
yet know when the bill might
be taken up by the Senate but
doubted it could be before the
end of next week.
Bus Tax Restored.
The committee restored the
proposed tax on bus mileage to
2 cents a mile. The House had
set it at 1-cent a mile. The
present rate is 8 mills. The COM
mittee adopted recommended
tions of it's subcommittee for
several other changes. One of
these reduces from $7.5 million
to SOS million the portion of
the increased Federal payment
that must be earmarked and
matched by District funds for
public works. This is a part of
the section raising the Federal
payment from $11 million to
$40 million.
The purpose here is to make
the earmarked fund a little more
flexible and to assure the Dis
trict of sufficient operating
money in its General Fund.
This section also carries re-
viSed language recommended by
the Case subcommittee provid-
ing for carryover. credits from
one year to another in funds the
District has earmarked and pro-
vided for public works which, in
any given year, may not be
matched by a full Federal ap-
preparation.
Would Boost Payment.
Senator Morse said he had
made three main arguments for
boosting the Federal payment to
$25, ,225 900 instead of the pro-
posed extension of sales taxes.
First, he told reporters, II am
very much frightened about
forces in this country who are
working tooth and nail to get a
Federal sales tax"
He said he thought these
forces were seeking to use the
Districts sales levies as a prece-
dent for a Federal sales measure.
The Oregon Senator said he had
always opposed sales taxes as a
matter of public policy.
One of the changes adopted by
the committee would give the So
called wholesale instead of re-
tail rate for water bought by the
Federal Government from the
District to supply the Pentagon
and other Government buildings
in the AGatrnn0litan Area
