 ADJUST AFFAIRS
Sunday Closing Law Will Be Enforced, But Dealers AL lowed to Arrange Mat
 terS-No Arrests

No arrest wih be made by Birming- ham police today for failure of auto mobile tire and accessory dealers to observe Sunday closing. it was an nounced yesterday by Commissioner w B. Cloe. Notices. however. have been served on dealers to observe the state regulations pertaining to Sun day closing while those opposing the enforcement of such contemplate court action of any attempt to close their establishments on the Sabbath.
 Sidney J. Bowie of the Crawford Tire and Auto company, appeared be- fore the commission yesterday and lodged protest against Sunday closing unless all dealers, observe the closing orders issued on the preceding day by the police department. In the event all dealers i'll comply with Sunday closing, Mir. Bowie said he would be glad and willing to cooperate to this end.
 Must Arrange to Close
 Additional time is allowed dealers on the part of the police department to make arrangements for and to ac- quaint themselves with the recent rul- ing that the law would DC ehIofceu. That hardship would not be worked on dealers because of short notice ar rest will be deferred until next Sun day after which those who do not close their places of business on Sun day will be held responsible for vio- lations.
 Strong opposition is voiced in some quarters and indications are that en- forcement of Sunday closing measures will be fought. It is contended by many dealers that there is no city or- dinance governing Sunday closing and the police department should not interfere with state statutes which have been held invalid in various courts which caused much agitation throughout the state last summer when the state law enforcement sought to enforce Sunday closing throughout the state.
