registration or all firearm "dtnplte
the platol manufacturers who have
no far blocked every honeat attempt"
to deal with the traffic.
"Any practical measure for the
control of flrearma muat at leant
contain provisions for the registra
tion of all flrearma," Cummings told
the International association of po
lice chiefs In convention here.
"I submitted such a bill to the
present congress. So far I have not
been able to secure an open hear
ing upon the measure. But I pro
pose to fight this thing through to
a finish ..."
Case Is Cited.
. Cummings cited tho sale to an
Unidentified purchaser of 30 pinto la,
some of which later were found "on
the scene of gang killings at Oak

to America's Inertia In dealing with
the traffic In flroarms," and ''typi
cal of the cane with which weapons
find their way to the underworld."
"Our homicide rate In the United
States runs annually between 11.000
and 12,000 victims." he aald. "The
proportion of these do at tin due to
firearms Is approximately 70 per cent.
No llnitest Objection.
"No honest man can object to
registration. Show me the man who
doesn't want his gun registered
and t will show you a man who
shouldn't have a gun."
Chief O. W. Wilson of Wichita,
Xas told the officers "wire tapping
and sound recording equipment
should be used In criminal investi
