Canadian and U.S. Hockey
Teams Have To Play It
Gentle In Norway
OSLO, yP) — North American
ice hockey players were wonder
ing today just how gentle they
have to be to stay in favor with
European crowds.
The Canadians were roundly
booed last night by 4,000 Nor
wegian fans, who angrily reacted
to even the occasional body check
in a game described by Canadian
manager Wren Blair “as the
cleanest game I’ve ever seen.”
The Canadians were handed
only two penalties in their 12-0
victory over Norway in the world
championship. But the fans let it
be known they just don’t like
even a hint of tough North Am
erican tactics.
Several U. S. players watched
the piatch—and left the stadium
just as puzzled by the crowd’s
behavior as the Canadians.
The game played in Europe is
vastly different to that watched
by fans- in North America. Bodily
contact here is reduced to the
barest minimum and penalties
are called for hosts of minor in
fractions that would go unnoticed
on American or Canadian rinks.
U.S. Gen. Partridge
Doubts Russia Has
Operational ICBM
WASHINGTON, UP) — Gen.
Earle E. Partridge says it prob
ably will be “some years” before
Russia has enough long - range
missiles to launch a successful at
tack against North America.
Partridge, head of the Contin
ental Air Defense Command, said
despite Russians claims, he does
not believe they now have an
operational intercontinental bal
listic missile.
Partridge and Gen. Thomas S.
Power, chief of the Strategic Air
Command, participated yesterday
in a television program surveynig
air defense.
Power said he thinks that even
in case of a Russian ICBM attack,
a 15-minute advance warning is
“technically feasible.” SAC has a
goal of getting one-third of its
bombers into the air within 15
minutes of a warning.
Partridge said the North Am
erican civilization could survive
even a massive H-bomb attack,
although it would “take many
generations to come back.”
Florida was admitted to the
Union on March 3, 1845, and Ver
mont was admitted on March 4
in 1791.
President Criticized For
Handling of Shotgun
CLEVELAND, UP) — Critics of
President Eisenhower’s handling
of a shotgun in a recent photo
graph prompted the President to
tell a story which was retold by
George Humphrey, former Sec
retary of the Treasury.
President Eisenhower was pho
tographed leaning on his shotgun,
while a guest at Humphrey’s
Thomasville, Ga., plantation.
Humphrey said the President
read of the controversy at break
fast the next morning.
The President told the follow
ing story, Humphrey said:
“There was an old mountaineer
in front of a country store lean
ing on a muzzle-loading musket.
A young fellow from the city
warned him, ‘It’s always the gun
that isn’t loaded that goes off and
kills someone.’
“And the mounatineer replied,
“in that case we’re perfectly safe
because this is loaded.”

New Firearms
Regulations
WASHINGTON, 13*—New fire
arms regulations, stripped of sev
eral proposed requirements which
stirred up widespread protests
last year, went into effect Satur
day.
The new rules require, among
other things, that revolvers, pis
tols and high powered rifles be
stamped with the manufacturer’s
name, plus the serial number,
caliber and model designation.
Conspicuously absent from the
regulations are these require
ments: proposed earlier:
1. That dealers keep, along
with other data, a record of all
sales of ammunition for pistols,
revolvers and high-powered rifles.
2. That all purchasers of such
weapons or ammunition for them
give their signatures. Dealers
would have been required to pre
serve the signatures along with
other records.
3. That all shotguns and small
rifles be stamped with the mak
er’s name and serial number.
The new rules provide:
1. The manufacturer’s name
must be stamped on all firearms,
but the other data—serial num
ber, caliber and model—may be
omitted in the case of shotguns
and .22 caliber rifles unless they
are subject to provisions of the
National Firearms Act. This act
governs traffic in sawed-off shot
guns, rifles and automatic wea
pons.
2. An extension from 5 to 10
years of the period in which li
censed dealers are required to
keep records of all acquisitions
and sales of firearms.
Some of the opposition at last
summer’s hearings stemmed from
widespread reports that the pro
posed regulations would require
registration of all firearms, even
shotguns and .22 caliber rifles.
Several members of Congress
protested that the proposals
later dropped, would treat as po
tential criminals all who use guns
for recreation. Police groups,
however, supported the proposals
hs ah aid to identification of fire
arms in detective work.
