...argued that most of these acts were a means of getting the arms embargo passed in jig-time, but nevertheless they still rouse suspicion that the Administration is not neutral.

With steel crossbows and steel-tipped wooden bolts, the Thierfelders, Dietzes, Dreschers-now butchers, knitters, iron workers-took turns last week shooting at a double-headed eagle, jig-sawed out of wood and mounted on a pole 30 ft. high. Purpose of the sport is to knock off a claw, a beak, a wing, and thereby win a prize-such as an electric fan, a thermos bottle, a clock. No. 1 prize of the tournament goes...
