A. G. Erickson, District Dir
ector of Internal Revenue for
Oregon, announced recently that
anyone having an unregistered

gun, short-barreled rifle or
other gangster-type weapon, or
a device such as a bomb, ger-
nade or land mine, may reg
ister It with the Internal Rev
enue Service without penalty
from November 2 through Dec
ember 1.
The Gun Control Act of 1968,
signed into law last week, es
tablishes a 30-day period for
the registration of certain wea
pons and destructive devices.
The registration requirement
does not affect ordinary rifles,
shotguns, pistols and revolvers.
Anyone with a weapon to re
gister should write or phone an
office of the 1RS and obtain
a copy of Form 4467. Wea
pons and devices should not
be brought to 1RS offices for
the purpose of registration.
Former servicemen should
register any automatic weapon,
pistols with shoulder stocks,
or other national firearms act
weapon they might have as a
souvenir of their military days.
Anyone with a bomb or gre
nade should make sure It Is
de-actlvated. The 1RS can make
arrangements to have the de
vice Inspected and de-actlve-
ated.
There Is no Federal regis
tration requirement for ordin
ary rifles, shotguns, pistols and
revolvers, although certain
controls on the sales of these
weapons becomes effective De
cember 16, 1968, as part of the
new gun law.
Firearm s which must be re
gistered under the Act include
shotguns with barrels less than
18 Inches long, rifles with bar
rels less than 16 inches long
and altered rifles and shotguns
o r rifles cut down to pistol
size or shape.
Other firearms covered by
the registration requirements:
fully automatic guns, such as
machine guns and pistols that
fire more than one shot by
a single function of the trig
ger, and firearm mufflers or
silencers. In addition, regis
tration Is required of all wea
pons or devices, except for con
ventional pistols or revolvers,
which are capable of firing a
shot and being concealed on a
person and weapons formerly
classified as "DEWATS” —de
activated war trophies.
Destructive devices, such as
explosives, Incendiary or poi
son gas bombs, grenades, roc
kets, missiles, mines and cer
tain projectile firing weapons,
namely anti-tank guns, ba
zookas and mortars, also must
be registered.
Anyone who possesses a fire-
arm or destructive device, as
defined by National Firearms
Act, and who falls to register
the weapon between November
2 and December 1, as required
by the Gun Control Act, will
be subject to imprisonment up
to 10 years, a fine up to $10-
000 or both for each weapon
not registered. Under certain
conditions, the law provides ci
vil penalties and property for
feitures.
Change In
Medicare Told
Beginning In January an old
er person who goes to the hos
pital under Medicare will be
responsible for the first $44.00
of his hospital bill. According
to H a r r y Reynolds, district
Manager of Social Security, this
Is the change from the $600.00
for the average hospital stay by
a Medicare beneficiary at the
present time.
The $4.00 Increase from the
present $40.00 deductible re
sults from a provision in the
law requiring an annual review
of the deductible amount. The
first such review the law pro
vided was to be made in 1968.
The results of the annual
review of the Inpatient hospital
deductible also apply to the
dpllar amounts a M e d ic a r e
beneficiary pays toward a hos
pital stay of more than 60 days,
or a posthospital extended care
stay of more than 20 days.
