On his majority report regs riding Sunday
opening.
Immediately after the national commits

sey arose and rendered his resignation as .
member of the judiciary committee. In
giving his reason for resIgning. Mr.. Mas
sey said that the commission had not
adopted q single majority report of any
Importance submitted to it by the commit
tee since he had been Q member. The
only logical conclusion was that the com-
and ability of the committee. As chair.
man OF the committee he felt bound to re-
sign. He had not acted hastily. He had
considered the matter carefully, and no
amount of persuasion could induce him to
continue as q memD of the committee.

asked him please not resign SO played on
the emotions of that body that it really
looked at one time that the fearful scene

board would be repeated in the commission.
Finslly Mr.. Massey was given twenty-four
hours to think over what he had said and
try TO reconcile his conscience with his re.
naming at the head of the judiciary COM
mittee. There was slim attendance Of
the commission, but that did not prevent
Mr.. Hundley. of Alabama. from resurroct-
ing the corpse of Sunday closing, and there
will be more post-mortem talking to-mor-
row. -
