Evidence Does Not Support Gun Law Proposals, Lloyd Says Sherman P. Lloyd, says that objective and acccurate evidence does not support the Administrations request for additional Federal gun control laws, and declared he would vote against a bill to prohibit mail order sale of long guns when it comes before the House later this week. ' The Utah Congressman cited the Federal Firearms Act of 1938 as an example of already existing legislation which achieves the the same effect as the proposed new restrictions when requested by local or state law. The 1938 law, which prohibits manufacturers or dealers from shipping firearms to persons in states which require a license to purchase a gun, can be utilized by any state or local government which considers such enforcement necessary, said. Rep. Lloyd, In view of the already existing laws, the only obvious accomplishment of this proposed legislation would be ,to provide a first step toward further controls on firearms, which would be even more unrealistic and oppressive, he said. In his statement Rep. Lloyd emphasized a' recent survey which he conducted of 14 of the top law enforcement officials in the Second Congressional District, who were unanimous in their agreement that the proposed legislation would not have any significant effect on crime rates within their jurisdictions. officers enforcement The eiwould criminals stated that ther fail to register weapons or Rep. R-Ut- New York Banker, To Address AMC George Champion, chairman of the board, Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, will give the keynote speech at the opening session of the American Mining Congress Convention-Expositioin Las Vegas, Nevada, Oct. 7. J. Allen Overton Jr., executive vice president of the national mining association, said some 10,000 mining men from throughout the United States and many other countries will attend the four day Oct. meeting. He noted that senior officials from manufacturing companies engaged in the supplying of equipment, goods and service to the mining industry are also expected. Mr. Champion, one of the worlds leading banking figures, has been associated with banking and financial institutions since 1926. He became president of Chase Manhattan and assumed his present position in 1961. Overton said, The growing importance of the mining industry throughout the world, the relationshop of strategic metals and minerals to national defense and the accelerated costs of operating a mining company nowadays underscore the significance of the pending talk by Mr. Champion to the American Mining Congress. Cris Dobbins, chairman of Ideal Basic Industries, Inc., Denver, and president of the AMC, will introduce Mr. Champion at the opening convention n 7-- 10 Exist For Making Schools Safe There are 50 million reasons for making school safe from fire the nations elementary and hgh school students. The responsibility for school fire protection s not solely that of school administrat:rs, teach- ers and parents of students. The general public has a take in fire safe schools, if only to protect their tax investment in public education. School fire protection is economical according to the National Safety Council. The cost of installing protective equipment is more than offset by reduced insurance rates. Within a few years the initial investment can be paid for through the savings in insurance. What kind of fire protection is needed? Council fire protection specialists recommend: Installation of the automatic sprinkler system Fire extinguishers at key locations A fire alarm warning system The installation of a fire alarm warning system alone does not provide enough protection. In tests conducted by Los Angeles fire department, school buildings which were to be torn down were set on fire. These buildings were representative of all types used for schools, from one to several stories high. An average evacuation time of one minute per floor was established by timing fire drills in Of Record Sales the Los Angeles schools. It was found that some fires spread so rapidly that one minute per floor was not sufficient to evacuate the building safely. The researchers also learned that even in fire resistive buildings there were enough burnable furnishings and other material to let a fire grow large enough to cause dangerous heat and smoke. While no alarm system was found universally satisfactory, the research group was unable to set a fire that could not be controlled by automatic sprinklers, at least long enough for safe evacuation. Sprinkler systems can keep these fire localized and, in many cases, can extinguish it. Sprinklers, however, are no substitute for other protection, the council says. Fire extinguishers should remain in the schools. They should be the modern stored pressure type rather than the soda acid type found in many schools. In addition to those, dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers should be installed for protection against flammable liquid and electrical fires. . . - Carelessness by the homeowner and the growing number of portable valuables in the home are the two reasons for the rising number of burglaries in this country.

Athletes were told to avoid it because it would cut George Champion, would steal them, and that no law could keep criminals from getting guns, he said.

The police officials stated Utah that there is little point in Federal regulation of sale of rifles and shotguns. However, they did favor strong laws covering the actual use of concealable weapons, which is the primary criminal weapon, he said. Rep.
