The two College Park girls
were killed with a total of II
shots.
Ammunition is manufactured
in three sizes-short, long and
long-rif1e. each carrying q re-
spectively greater charge and
'projectile. Most .22-caliber rifles
fire all three sizes.
Sale of this type of weapon
is controlled by the Federal
Firearms act, which requires re-
tail dealers to log the sale of
every weapon sold. This law is
supplemented by State and local
statutes, which vary in each
municipality.
In the District. copies of each
sale are sent to police where 1t
is registered as to make, model
and purchaser. District regula-
tions also prohibit the sale OF
any semi-automatic or automa-
tic rifle that fires more than IL
bullets. Such a weapon would
be considered a machine-gun,
which is illegal here.
Maryland law calls for the
registration of any semi-auto-
matte or automatic weapon and
also considers any gun with more
than a 12-shot capacity an ille-
gal machine gun.

There are five major manu-
factures who market dozens Of

include single-shot, repeating,
semi-automatic and automatic
varieties.
The single-shot must be man
ually reloaded after each shot.
The repeater holds a number of
shells but must be reloaded after
each shot by a pump or level ac-
ton. The semi-automatic is fed
by a magazine clip or tube hold
ing as many as II long-rifle
cartridges and can be fired by
pulling the trigger for each shot

.22 Rifle, Type Used in Double Killing,
Ranks No. in Gun Popularity Here

The .22-caliber rifle, the type
of gun used in the murder of the
two teen-age girls near College
Park, Md, last Wednesday, is
one Of the most popular weapons
sold by local sporting goods
stores.
In the District alone, most Of
the $500 rifles purchased last
year were 20 caliber.
The popularity of this rifle is
attributed to several factors, &C
cording to local firearms experts.
1t is easy to handle. is only about
40 inches long and rarely weighs
more than 10 pounds.
This type of rifle does not
have as great a range as more
powerful guns. The cartridge
contains only enough powder to
send the bullet about 200 feet
with any accuracy. Shells of
greater caliber would carry for
thousands of yards.
Another important factor is
the cost. A single action %
caliber rife can be purchased
for as little as SIS. Repeating,
semi-automatic and automatic
rifles range in price from $25

Three youths-15, 16 and IT,
have been arrested in the death
yesterday of Roland M. DAILY, II,
ticket taker at the Gem Theater.
1131 Seventh street NV.
Two of the three, all colored,
taken into custody last night by
police, admitted fighting with
Mr.. DAILY after a misunderstand-
ing about one of them paying to
enter the theater.
The two older youths admitted
scrapping with the ticket taker,
police said. One told homicide
squad detectives that Mr.. DAILY
pushed him after he returned to
the street from the theater to
see if his friend had enough
money to buy ticket.
He said it was misunder-
standing as to whether he had
paid when he first entered the
place. He told police he pushed
Mr.. DAILY during the melee, and
that one of the youths struck
the ticket taker and knocked
him to the sidewalk.
The younger boy had got into
the fracas by this time, police
quoted the other boy as saying.

lew Steward

A former shop steward for the
International Electric Workers
Union today was indicted on
eight counts Of contempt of Con-
|gress involving refusal to answer
questions pertaining to espion-
age and revelation of classified
information.
The indictment was returned
against Miss Diantha Hoag Of
Buffalo, N. Y, by a grand jury
i'm the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia.
The charges stemmed from
Miss Hoag's appearance last
August 6 before the Senate Per-
manent Subcommittee on In
Ivestigations of which Senator
Mccarthy, Republican, of Wis
|consin. was chairman. Refusal
to answer was based by Miss
Hoag on the Fifth Amendment
Safeguard against self-incrimi-
nation.
Miss Hoag was asked If she
ever gave any classified informa-
ton to anyone she knew was a
Communist or an espionage
agent; whether she ever dis
cussed classified Government
work at Communist Party meet
ings: whether she was a Commu-
mist spy at a particular time;
whether she gave certain indi-
viduals information. Other
questions involved similar is
sues.
Assistant United States At
torney William Hitz, who is pros
ecuting the case, is using, for the
first time in such a case. a doc
trine emanating from a Supreme
Court opinion having to do with
the waving of a constitutional
right.
The Supreme Court decision
involved q narcotics case in
which the defendant, charged
with dope possession, testified he
had never possessed narcotics.
The Supreme Court upheld
the right of the prosecution to
cross-examine the defendant
with regard to dope which had
been held to have been seized
Illegally in violation Of the de-
fendant's constitutional rights
and which had been suppressed
as evidence.
The high court held that the
defendants denial Of dope pos
session had opened the doors"
to hross-examination.
