DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 9. - (AP) - The federal government was charged with encouraging Texas gun toting in a resolution presented here today to the Texas Federation of women's clubs in 29th annual convention. Numerous killings in this state, many of them unpunished, are deplored by the resolution and the organization is asked to petition the state legislature "to control and regulate the sale of firearms." The resolution was among a number read by Mrs. Frank B. Slater of Dallas, chairman of the resolutions committee.

With all other resolutions, it is to be held for action until later in the convention. Mrs. Slater had 14 resolutions, of which she read seven. There was on discussion. The anti-gun resolution declares that "daily reports reveal an appalling number of firearms being carried by citizens," and states that th "federal government encourages this by advertising its cast-off army and navy pistols or sale." Selecting of the mocking bird as the official state songster was suggested in another recommendation read by Mrs. Slater. Other resolutions urge appropriation by congress of $10,000,000 for a national art gallery, the teaching of the United States constitution in the schools, and a closer co-operation between the state's institutions of higher learning and the club women. About 500 club women from every section of the state attended as Mrs. J. U. Fields of Haskell, state president, called the convention to order with a gavel made out of native mesquite by Mrs. W. R. Chap-mon of Stamford, chairman of the arts and crafts department of the federal convention.
