STIVER STUDIES TIPS TO TIGHTEN FIREARMS LAW

Law Enforcement Officials Asked to Suggest New Regulations.

The State Police Department is | receiving information from police

chiefs and sheriffs on possible | methods of tightening provisions of | the Firearms Registration Law, State Safety Director Don Stiver | reported today. In expressing dissatisfaction with the present operation of the statute, | Mr. Stiver indicated that the next | Legislature is to be asked to pass| “strengthening amendments.” { Passed in 1933, the act was | amended by the 1937 Legislature to | transfer registration supervision | from the Adjutant General's office | to the State Police Criminal Identi- | fication Bureau. It provides that any dealer making a firearm sale must forward a copy of the transaction record by | registered mail to the chief of police | or sheriff of the locality within six hours and to the State Police within seven days. The seller must re- | tain his copy for six years. Court 0. K. Needed To get a permit to carry the] weapon, a person must receive per-

mission from a superior, circuit or criminal court. The court keeps |

one copy of this record, sends one assistant drum major at Washington.

to State Police and gives one to | applicant. Under an Attorney General's rul- | ing, Mr. Stiver required that the | court record coming to his office | must include fingerprints of the ap- | plicant. “We receive an average of 50 ap- | plications a day,” he said. “During the two months in which the law | has been in operation we already | have discovered from fingerprints | that approximately 15 of the persans applying had previous criminal records. “The weak feature of the law now is that criminals apparently are not afraid to give their fingerprints as | long as they get the weapons.” | Maurice R. Pierce, who was cap- | tured a few days ago in Alexandria, | secured a gun in this way, Mr. Sti- | ver said. “We were checking on his appli- | cation at the time he drew a gun| on an Alexandria police officer. Al- | though he swore at the time he received the gun that he never had | been convicted, our records show | he previously has served time for | vehicle taking and robbery while armed.”

CLAIMS ALL GARAGES OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Jackiel W. Joseph, attorney for | auto dealers, said today that all Indianapolis garage service depart- | ments were open for business. “They're taking care of all the | business they get,” Mr. Joseph said. | He said this included 11 garages where mechanics had struck and other establishments which union! officials charged had “locked out” | employees. N. C. Roberts, Automobile Workers Union, Local 1149 president, re- | fused to comment.

BURGLARS TAKE $97 | FROM GROCERY STORE

Marion Kenworthy, 25, of 320 N. Linwood Ave., manager of a grocery | store at 4425 E. New York St., told | police today that burglars entered the store and stole $97.63 last night. | Lerov C. Watson, 2907 Guilford Ave, reported that thieves last | night broke into his garage and stole the four wheels off his auto. ! He valued wheels and tires at $125. He said the vandals also cut a hole | in the car roof. |
