He said his ex perience on the bench had convinc ed him that the evil of pistol-toting was directly responsible for a large percentage of the grisly homicidal records of the United States. He has taken advantage of the first oppor tunity to remedy the evil. Judge Park is quoted in Washing ton correspondence of The Atlanta Constitution ns follows: "The number of negroes walking the streets and country roads of Georgia armed with ‘Colts’ auto- atic revolvers would surprise you. The tight-wads are already look ing forward to what they will get for Christmas. They already know what they will give.
