WASHINGTON LETTER

(BY Charles p. stewart
WASHINGTON, July 31.-Represent-
ative William c. lLankford's recent
reference to Washington as "the ma
tions Sodom of ungodliness' hasn't
made him the most popular of the con-
gressmen who Iinger in the capital
Lankford probably doesn't care
however. Popularity in the 11th con-
gressional district of Georgia is what
he's interested in.
He wasn't popular in Washington
even before he called it ''Sodom of
umgodliness." All through the ,last
session of congress he kept trying to
get law passed putting a hermeti-
cally sealed Sunday lid on the capital,
If there is any one thing that the vast
majority of Washingtonians don't
want, it's ld-Sunday or any other
time.
Washington is accustomed to quite
wide open Sundays-to baseball and
movies, to open soda fountains and
cigar stores and a certain amount OF
other retail business, to Sunday aut o.
mobile rides, which call for open fill
ing stations-to all sorts of Sunday
facilities which make for a jolly aft
ernoon off, even if folks have been to
church in the morning.
So the district fought, Landlords
proposed "blue law"-hard.
1t fought it so hard that a free fight
all but started among witnesses before
the sub committee of the house dis
trict committee which was consider
IN TaOl-ford hill
Thereupon Chairman Mcleod ad
journed the subcommittee meeting
and said he wouldn't call any more
until the angry passions aroused by
these hearings has had slime to cool.
Thus the Lankford bill was kept
corked clear up until the time con-
gress adjourned.
Washington isn't sure it can go on
with its wicked ways indefinitely,
though. Lankford promises to have
his bill up again the first thing next
December
It's no cinch it won't pass, either.
good many congressman think the
capital has too much fun Sundays.

Chairman Farley
Voices Threat Over
New Move Richard

Forth Worth, Tex, April 21--(P)-
Tex Richards contract with Jack
Dempsey for a heavyweight cham
pionship bout in September signed
here today does not place the promo
ter outside the rulings Of the New
York state boxing commission, all
though 1t leaves the way open for
him to ignore the commission II he
chooses.
Richard made this statement to-
night in reply to word that, Com
mission Chairman James A. Farley
had announced Richard would be
called before the board on his return
to New York to explain his action in
signing the contract.
Il have no present intention Of OPP
posing the rulings of the commission. 4"
Richard said, land my contract with
Dempsey contains nothing in CONTRA
yention with it's rulings. At any rate,
Farley is not the commission. There
are two commissioners besides him. :"
Chairman Farley declared that the
New York commission would insist
that Dempsey defend his title against
Wills and that If Richard attempts
to stage a. Dempsey-Tunney bout he
would be disciplined.
The promoters New York license
will be revoked Farley asserted, if
he seeks to hold a championship bout
in New Jersey with Tunney as the
challenger.
Richard has no license to conduct
bouts at the Yankee Stadium, where
he indicated he expected to hold tile
September battle, but on the other
hand, he could ignore the New York
body and stage the fight in Jersey
City, risking his standing in New
York as a promoter.
