Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pmf Fatur Wriar Washington (U.R) Robert B. Anderson, deputy secretary of defense, is going to get a replica a weapon that helped qs out in two m wars. '!'fU Deauti' hand-made i g piece will cone in FX- VI l IUI VX firir fifu mighty handy if Bob Ander son happens upon a charg- humas Micbols ing buffalo a long Pennsyl vania Avenue. The National Rifle Associa tion of America is presenting to Anderson an exact copy ct the flint-lock. This was used by our lV-rebears in both the Revolu tionary War and the War of 1P12. The rifle people are holding their 84th annual meeting in the capital. Some months back. Maj. Gen. Merritt A. Edson, USMC. retired, decided that a suitable memento for the guest speaker at the big banquet would be a flint-lock rifle. Since Edson . is the executive director of the National Rifle Association, everybody agreed. Expert Craftsman So the general dropped a line to Cecil G. Brooks of Lowell, O.. n expert craftsman when it comes, to building rifles. He told Brooks to get busy. Brooks studied up on what went into a flint-lock rifle and got busy. The finished product, which cost a pretty penny and is some thing to catch the eye of any lover of firearms, is now ihined up and redy with a silver 'Presented to" imbedded in the Ohio curly maple wood stock. Brooks worked hard to recap ture the past. The rifle he has lecreated precisely in the best tradition of early America, meas ures 62 3-8 inches overall and has a 46 2-3 inch octagonal bar rel rifled with eight grooves. Its bore measures 0.37 inch. Nothing is more tr?ditionally American than the flint, or the Pennsylvania or "Kentucky" ri fle used by the men who fought their way west, tamed same, cleared the land of buffalo and staked claims in the good earth. McKay Defends Policy On Partnership Power Washington (U.R) Interior Secretary Douglas McKay Wed nesday defended the Eisenhower administration's "p a r tnership" policy for development of power projects as " a positive program . . . that will make a valuable contribution to the power supply of the country." In a requested appearance be fore the House Interior commit tee McKay also said: 1. The administration has no preference between private util ity companies and governmental agencies in selecting "partners" for development of projects. 2. The government will con tinue to use power rates of fed eral projects as an informal "yardstick" to indicate what pri vate rates might be. Democratic committee mem bers questioning him in turn at tacked the partnership policy. Republican members told McKay they agreed with it. Connecticut has 2,000,000 in habitants and about 2.000,000 acres of forest land in its area of 3,202,100 total acres. TO : fUNTEN MENUS "now I (Ch enriched!

F It was developed by German rifle makers who came here in the 18th century. The flintlock, I indeed,, was the finest firing piece of its day. Its inception introduced -a new standard of deadly accuracy. Actually, flintlock action was the prevailing ignition system for firearms from. 1630 to 1830 A chisel-edge, rectangular wafer of flint was clamped between the jaws of a cock. You pulled the trigger and re leased the cock under spring tension. The chisel edge of the flint scraped against the face of a steel battery making a shower of sparks which fell into the priming powder burned fast through the barrel vent to touch off the powder charge and send, the bullet through the barrel. The rifle people have quite an exhibition of weapons old and new at their meeting here. There is everything from the most primitive to the 50-buffalo guns to the very modern.
