Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Matter of Labels Postal Dept. Moves To Curb Gun Traffic WASHINGTON (AP) The National Rifle Association has questioned the legality of a Post Office Department move to curb the traffic in mail order guns. But if past practice bolds the early reaction of-those who deal with weapons is any indication, it appears likely-that it will be business as usual for the gun mail order, houses until--and unless--Congress enacts stiffer control. Postmaster General W. Marvin Watson announced new postal rules Wednesday under which packages containing guns will not be accepted for mailing unless clearly labeled "Firearms." Further, he said, delivery oi firearms be held up until the chief law enforcement officer of the community to which the package is addressed is notified.

Watson also a n'o sawed-off shotguns and short- barreled rifles will be banned from the mails under "concealed weapons" regulations unless addressed to authorized law enforcement or "military personnel. "I don't think this will solve the problem," said Harold Gar- a prominent New Mexico sporting goods executive. "I think people who commit crimes steal guns." A postal department spokesman said Watson's ban, announced in a National Press Club speech and intended to go into effect immediately, will apply to guns "26 inches in length or' which have the characteristics of a concealed weapon." Pistols were not included because they have been banned from the mails for years, the spokesman said. Harold W.

Struckhoff Won't Be Candidate CONCORD, N.

H. (AP) Eugene Struckhoff, a Concord attorney who has been mentioned in Democratic circles as a potential gubernatorial candidate, said today he will not run-for governor or for the U. S. Senate or House this year. Struckhoff declined re- nomination as co-chairman of the Citizens' Council for a Better New Hampshire, a tax- reform group which he helped create in January, because the organization's rules-prohibit the council from engaging in political activity on behalf of a specific candidate or party.

"I desire over the next few weeks to campaign actively for one or more candidates and to engage in other political activity," Struckhoff said Wednesday in declining re-nomination. Mrs. Jean Hennessey of Hanover was named to succeed him. State Sen. William Gove, who also is Concord's mayor, is the other co-chairman.

'1 want to be free to campaign for other people." Sirack- hoff said today. He didn't identify them. Named to the board of directors were Peter Flood of Merrimack, president of the N. H. Young Republicans; Ridier Page of Lebanon; William Elliott of Hampton, Herbert Hill of Hanover and Roger Brassard of Manchester.

Also named were Michael Garrett and Gilbert Castle of Concord, Robert Cholette of Manchester, James Hobart of Keene, Donald Limoges of Clarempnt and Robert Scarponi of Newington, all selected "outstanding young men" by local Jaycees.

Court formalities and appeals could delay Ray's return up to six weeks or longer if he fights extradition.

The enemy's Liberation Radio broadcast warnings that the shelling of the capital would be renewed Monday and would continue for 100 consecutive days with nightly barrages of 100 rockets. It told the Saigon- ese to flee from the city. Senior U.S. officials expressed doubt that the Viet Cong was ca- sable of carrying out the rocket They said that the enemy might be able to get 100 rockets into position for one spectacular bombardment, but they could not possibly keep it up. There were reports also that Viet Cong infantrymen would renew their attacks on the capital Saturday after laying off a week.

Several propaganda leaflets were found in northern Saigon saying guerrillas would seize the area and the residents should go at least 500 yards away from their homes to avoid the fighting. In light scattered action today, the Viet Cong hurled 20 mortar shells at an ammunition dump four miles northwest of ie capital before dawn and shelled two provincial capitals But Saigon itself had one of its quietest nights since ground and rocket attacks on the city began May 5. Enemy soldiers captured earlier this month during street fighting in the capital said they had been ordered to pull back CONG (Please turn to page three) The United States is seeking extradition on both charges and must satisfy a British judge that both would 'be crimes under British law. The Foreign Office certified that the petition came within the terms of the 1931 extradition treaty between the two coun- ries. If Milton grants extradition, Ray would have 15 days to appeal to the High Court and if the High Court upheld the extradition order, he would have another 14 days to appeal to the House of Lords, Britain's supreme court.

Michael Dresden, the British lawyer appointed for Ray, has given no indication whether Ray would fight extradition and has refused to comment on the case. Scotland Yard continued its investigation of Ray's movements in London during the three weeks prior to his arrest last Saturday, and suspicion continued that had a contact man.

Conspiracy Denied in Spock Case -BOSTON awyef- for Dr. 'Benjamin Spock said today an alleged conspiracy between the pediatrician and 'our other men-to violate draft laws never existed. "In closing arguments at the trial of the five, Leonard Boudin said they were -not charged with any crime, but only with a conspiracy; or agreement, to violate the-law. "After we have completed our search for this mystery agreement," Boudin said, "I think you will agree that -we might describe this trial as concerning the agreement that didn't exist." Boudin, internationally known for work in constitutional law, said he believes the four-week- old trial is an "historic" case which involves "fundamental liberties of the people in a time of national tension." "The critical issue," he said, "is not whether people were committing crimes, but whether there was a conspiracy an agreement to commit a violation of the law--and that these people knew what they were doing was a violation of the law." The grey-haired lawyer maintained that the government failed to prove such a conspiracy. Earlier, lawyers for th other defendants contended that constitutional guarantees of free speech and assembly may be endangered if the five are convicted.
