HOUSTON (AP) — More people
are inquiring about machine guns
since the U.S. House passed a bill
that would ban such weapons, but
the rise in interest probably won’t
mean increased sales, gun dealers
say.
Houston gun dealer Wallace Gor
man said the high cost of machine
guns, lengthy application process
and extensive paperwork is enough
to put off most of the curious callers.
“There is more interest,” Gorman
said. “I have had more phone calls,
but sales of machine guns do not
boom because of the complications
involved in selling them.”
The bill was approved by the
House last week and now goes to the
Senate. It calls for the ban of future
sales of machine guns, although peo
ple already owning registered ma
chine guns would be allowed to keep
their weapons.
Gun dealer Arthur May said,
“Prices are going up 200 to 400 per
cent because of this.”
Most recent data from the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in
Washington indicates there were
8,316 machine guns registered in
Texas in 1981. Another 1981 report
showed Texas leading the nation in
machine gun dealers with 210.
Federal law requires the signature
of the local U.S. attorney, district at
torney, sheriff, police chief, U.S.
marshal or director of the Texas De
partment of Public Safety on an ap
plication for a machine gun.
But officials in Harris County say
they rarely sign such forms.
Police spokesman A1 Baker said,
“As a policy (Houston Police Chief
Lee P. Brown) just doesn’t sign off
on those weapons.”
Harris County Sheritt Johnny
Klevenhagen also will not sign the
forms.
“I do not sign them for anyone,
that includes my own personnel,”
Klevenhagen said.
Harris County Assistant District
Attorney Billy Lee said he would
recommend that a law enforcement
official never sign a machine gun ap
plication.
“Nobody in this country has any
reason to have a machine gun.
There is no reason to have such a
weapon in private hands,” Lee said.
Some people unable to find a law
enforcement official to sign their ap
plication apply for a dealer’s license
that will enable them to buy the
guns, the sheriff said.

Official says more capital necessary
Hospital needs doctors, patients
KOUNTZE (AP) — Hardin Me
morial Hospital, which has not had a
patient spend the night since last
month, doesn’t really need any since
no doctors are around to care for
them.
“It’s a ghost hospital,” said Rick
Jacobus, hospital administrator, who
insists the problems of the 59-bed fa
cility are not terminal.
“This is a very good hospital,” he
said — despite the fact it is short of
operating capital and doctors.
Nurses sit at their stations with
little to do but answer telephone
calls, many of which are from cred
itors. The operating room is pad
locked and the hallways leading to
the patient rooms are dark.
Two or three nurses are always on
duty, but they lock the doors at
night.
Despite the lonely duty, nursing
supervisor Becky Boudreaux said
nurses manage to keep up their spir
its. Meanwhile, business office work
ers are trying to collect overdue bills
to bring in money to meet the pay
roll.
Jack Littell, the Houston resident
who became sole owner last year of
the company that leases thehospt
f rom Hardin County, said he'scj
of money.
So far, he reports losses
$800,000.
Littell said he wants to sell :
lease to a hospital managemenute
party. He said he can’t afford tote
patients in the hospital, butthaiil
closes the facility the lease will teti
to the county.
