SUBMACHINE GUN
SALE RESTRICTED
Gangdom Is Nearly Stripped
of Deadly Weapon, Says
Distributor.
By 'he Associated Press
PITTSBURGH. June 28—J. W
Young, nationally known authority on
firearms and distributor of the sub
machine gun, said last night that gang
dom has virtually been stripped of this
type of weapon.
Tightened State and city legislation ι
and close co-operation of police and
dealers the country over have com
bined to seize one of the deadliest of
weapons from the hands of ruthless
killers, he asserted.
None Known in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh police said inquiry has
failed to uncover a single submachine j
gun in possession of underworld char- I
acters here.
Young added they are few and far
between in other cities.
The New York dealer explained the
part manufacturers and their agents
have played in the successful cam- ;
paign to keep the guns from reaching
characters outside the law.
"The gun is sold only to police de
partments, branches of the United
States Government, sheriffs, penitenti
ary officials and banks," he declared.
Text of Agreement.
"They are required to sign a state
ment which reads:
" 'We agree to retain this gun and
not to dispose of it through sale or
gift without the written consent of the
manufacturer.'
"Under the former plan of distribu
tion by dealers before we took control.
It was sometimes possible for a gangster
to tempt a dealer with four or Ave times
thp regular purchase price of the gun.
"No submachine gun can be pur
chased by individuals."

BRIAR CLIFF MANOR. Ν. Y„ June !
28.—James R. Mrllon. 87-year-cid pjtts- j
burgh banker and brother of the 1
American Ambassador to Great Britain. !
defended the eighteenth amendment in j
principle, but favored modification of
the present liquor laws in a speech de
livered at Briar Cliff Lodge last night
before the Theta Delta Chi Fraternity.
Held Too Arbitrary.
"The mistake " he said, referring to
the adopticn of the eighteenth amend- |
ment, "was in making it too arbitrary ι
at the start. The country should not '
have been deprived of liquor with such I
a jolt
"I favor submission of the prohibition
question to the pe pie of the United
States. They ought to have a chance
to deliberate upon it. The people now
are handicapped, however, because these
are peculiar times. The whole world is
upside down and every one does as he
pleases."
He criticized the stand of John D.
Rockefeller, jr., on the question.
Sees Big Influence.
"Mr. Rockefeller is entitled to his
opinion that prohibition is a failure,"
he said, "but in coming out so promi
nently with such a view he has influ- :
enced a great many people against a j
movement which had its worthwhile
points."
