SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYS * WASHINGTON New Kim - control legislation is scheduled to be considered by the Senate when it re convenes next month. Earlier in the session, the Congress cleared for the President's signature an omnibus crime control bill which contained provi sions regulating the ac quisition and possession of handguns and certain other firearms. This act was signed by the President and became the law of the land. I supported this act. This measure was well along toward passage when the tragic assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy took place and brought a flood of appeals to Con gress to add very string ent restrictions over the sale and use of firearms. I have received thousands of letters from North Caro linians in recent weeks giving their views on the subject of gun-control leg islation. For this reason, it seems appropriate to call atten tion to the gun-control provisions of the Safe Streets and Crime Control Act of 1968. It outlaws mail order shipments of pistols and compels those who wish to purchase pis tols to buy them from lo cal dealers who can read ily ascertain their eligibil ity to purchase them. It prohibits the acquisition and possession of pistols, rifles, shotguns, or other firearms by any person who has been convicted of TALK ABOUT A COMBINEI Edward Vaughan, former champion pea nut grower of Herford County, N.

Moreover, it re quires every importer, manufacturer or dealer in fireams to obtain a li cense fom the Secretary of the Treasury to keep a record of the names and addresses of every person to whom they sell any fire, arm of any character. On July 24 the House passed and sent to the Sen ate its version of the new long-gun legislation. Un der the House bill there would be a federal ban against mail order and most out-of-state purchases of rifles and shotguns and the interstate shipment of handgun ammunition. On the same day, the Senate Judiciary Committee ap proved gun controls sim- j ilar to the House - passed j provisions. Neither mea- | sure, however, requires the j registration of firearms or j the licensing of gun own- ' ers which some have Con- i gress to do. 1 The Senate Judiciary' Committee measure would • extend the ban on pistols j imposed by the recently j enacted Safe Streets und j Crime Control Act io' lisles and shotguns and I compel those who desire to purchase rifles and shot- | guns to obtain them from , a local dealer in the state I of their residence or in an adjoining state. I expect to support this proposal 1 i when it comes before the ' Senate. I am unwilling, however, ! to vote at this time for any i federal proposal requiring | the registration of fire- , j arms or the licensing of , ! those who wish to pursue ; them. In my honest judg- I ment, no case has yet been | made out for the passage of such a law. I have i spent many years of my i life as a trial lawyer and i a judge, and have never ! known of a single case I where the conviction of the i accused depended upon any j registration or identifica j tion of a firearm. Moreover, there is grave i doubt in my mind as to the constitutionality of such ; a federal law. The states i have the power to pass i laws of this nature. Whether they do so, is, ’of course, a matter for i them to decide. Nor shall I support any legislation which denies | | law - abiding citizens the j right to purchase firearms , for the protection of them j selves and their habita i tions or denies to legiti ; mate sportsmen the right ito purchase firearms for hunting. i I The Rod Helps Little ladies may be I born, but little gentlemen j are hewn, like monuments, i out of solid resistance i . - Nows.

At the same time, the farmers will be obeying the law. The child labor provi sions of the Fair Labor Standards Act prohibit youngsters under 16 from working an a farm during school hours while school is in session. The law applies equally to local and migrant youth. "Farmers can still hire teenagers under 16 to work after school and on the weekends in non-hazardous jobs. This will help needy hoys and girls earn the money necessary to stay in school,” the Labor Depart ment's Wage - Hour field office supervisor, Julian E. Parker, in Raleigh ob served. “This law offers the in dividual farmer a real chance to contribute to the betterment of our society and our country,” says Parker. “The farmer who en courages these youngsters to finish school while they work part-time for him will never have to feel that he knowingly did not help someone out of the vicious cycle of poverty.” Labor Department studies show how violations of this law cost the boys and girls involved almost half of the young farm workers were in grades well below the norm for their ages; and at the age of 15, seven out of 10 local farm youth, and nine out of 10 migrant farm youth, had not reach ed the grade normal for their age. “It is particularly im portant that this law is un derstood at this time as schools across the country are reopening for the new school year. Unknowingly, farmers may permit boys and girls under 16 to con tinue working full time. This is, of course, against the law.” Parker pointed out. “If there is a difference between state and federal child labor standards, the higher standards apply. “I want to personally PAGE THREE urge that anyone farmer, larm youth, parent or teacher with questions about child labor standards, minimum wages or over time pay, contact me at my office at 203 Lawyers build ing, 320 South Salisbury Street.
