Fogo 4 ALAMOGORDO (NM) DAILY NEWS Wednesday, October 8, 1969 Knucklehead Problem One of the great frustrations of driving is that when some knucklehead causes a near-ardent there is often no way to give him a piece of your mind before gone. Me cuts across your bow without benefit of turn signal -and varushes without benefit of the well turned phrase that comes to your lips. He runs a red Light in front of you, and all you can slam is the brake. The gold Bronx Cheer award will go to the feikrw who devises a method of conveying suitable remarks that will get home to the aforementioned knuckldhead. It will have to be Hash cards, say, operated by a push button; or maybe a system of horn beeps that would convey nuances of comment.

Gome to think of it, not really serious about this. The hazards of instant insult might be as bad as those by traffic dunces. Still, it's a pleasant thought to savor when some nincompoop drives like a nincompoop.

Washington Merry Go-Round By Jock Anderson Amendment Threat To Bullet Records WASHINGTON The gun control law was bought with the blood of President John F. Kennedy, Dr.

Martin Luther King. and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. With each assassination, the legislation was made stronger and won more supporters.

Now the Nixon administration is trying to reverse the trend by exempting .22 caliber ammunition from the record keeping provisions of the bill. To keep from arousing the public, it has contrived to get around the Senate Juvenile Delinquency public hearings. Unpublished correspondence obtained by this column between Chairman Tom Dodd, and Sen. Wallace BenneU, R-Utah, reveals that Dodd twice invited Bennett to testify. The respected Utah Senator, who is pushing the amendment to exempt .22 ammunition, agreed to appear.

But five days before the hearing, he abruptly changed his mind. He explained in a letter: learned today on completely reliable authority that even if (my amendment) should be passed by the it would not get out of the House. Therefore, Bennett asked that the amendment dropped from the hearings and further consideration of it Thus Dodd, who had planned to oppose the Bennett amendment, was lulled into silence. Bennett, meanwhile, quietly revived his amendment in the Senate Finance Committee and attached it to a tax bill, hidden in the small print. The Utah Senator, whose reputation for probity put him on the Senate Ethics Committee, informed his colleagues of the Finance Gamin tee that his amendment would not apply to for pistols and Treasury Secretary David Kennedy backed him up with a letter saying the amendment not affect the record keeping requirements concerning pistol and revolver ammun'tion." The fact is that millions of pistols use exactly the kind of ammunition in the administration backed exemptions.

These range from the handsome .22 caliber Iver Johnson that killed Sen. Kennedy to junk imports that sell for $15.75 apiece. Some 1,900 Americans were killed in 1968 with .22 bullets fined from pistols. When these facts were called to the attention of Kennedy and Bennett, their aides scurried to their misstatements. There are arguments, of course, against record-keeping for .22 shells.

The procedure is annoying, and record storing is a burden. Arguments also can be made to keep the ammunition in the law. It may deter felons who want to sign up for ammo The sneak play to avoid bearings prevent these issues from reach ng the Note: The Justice Department sent Associate Deputy Attorney General Donald Santa relli to CcpMol HiH to testify against ammunition keepmg. The same Santarelli was nn.iority counsel of the House Judiciary Committee back in 1968 when the gun bill was before a House Senate conference.

Some South Vietnamese generals are so bitter over wrhat they consider American i of the North that danger they might attempt a military coup or even order their troops to attack the withdrawing U.S troops. Although it wi'l be denied, this column can report (bat contingency plans have been drafted in case South Vietnamese troops should turn on the Americans. The anti- American rumblings have been heard as high as Vice President Ky, who has warned privately that any attempt to impose a coalition government upon Saigon will lead to a revolt. Indeed, he has threatened to lead the revolt himself if he considers the Vietnam settlement a sell-out to the communists.

Hot Bill Bromfield, president of the Capitol Hill club, has a direct telephone line from his congressional office to the posh club rooms in the nearby Congressional hotel. Membership in the club is restricted to Republicans only, who may like to indulge in a little nified drinking together. Broomfield assured this column that the club pays for the special telephone line. He acknowledged, however, that his congressional secretaries, who draw their salaries from the taxpiyer, help out with club correspondence and bookkeeping. But he turned down a proposal from the club staff, he said, that he use his government funds to buy a surplus electric typewriter for the club.
