Hoover WiH Hear Blue La10 Opponents Next Week
AUSTIN SCORES
POLITICAL
CLERICS

Battling on the Sunday blue
law front goes merrily on,
with statements flying hither
and thither, as those who seek
enactment of a Sunday closing
bill reply to the arguments Of
those in favor of the present
Sunday system.
The National Association Opposed
to Blue Laws Is drawing up itS
ranks in marching array. preparing
for a descent upon the White
House. This move is designed as a
counter attack to the efforts this
week Of the Rev. Messrs. FL. l..
Bowlby. James Cannon. jr., and
Davis G. Wylie.
Good Arguments
Not before next week do the
opponents OF the restrictive Fro
posal hope to get the ear" OF
President Hoover, but, when they
do get to the Executive they are
confident that they will have just
as convincing arguments against
the blue laws to fire at him as
were presented this week by the
proponents Of the sumptuary legis-
lation.
Phillip W. Austin, secretary Of
the District of Columbia Associa-
ton Opposed to Blue Laws, wrote to
President Hoover yesterday, asking
that before any blue laws are foisted
upon the voteless Capital refer.
endum be taken to determine public
sentiment.
Scores CEerics
Austin did not confine himself to
the simple request, but commented
more or less frankly upon the
patent dishonesty" Of proponents
OF the measure. He also mentions
the lust for power of politically
minded clerics.
In the meantime Prot. Henry
Flury, president of the national as
sociation, is preparing his formal
request for a hearing at the White
House for his delegation of Liberals.
