BALTIM March 9.
Sporadic Sunday skirrnishes con-
tinue to feature the war to en-
force the blue laws. The Of
fensive yesterday apparently was
directed chiefly against bread
Two truck drivers who were ar
rested, paid $11.45 in fines. A

to work.
DeIicatessens Keep Open
Delicatessen shops and drug
stores, which have been the prln'
cipal objectives in the Sunday
closing program in recent weeks,
were reported operating appar'
emily unmolested yesterday. Gus
toners were able to make pur'
chases without subterfuge.
One Of the largest wholesale
bakeries in the city remained
closed yesterday. 1t was closed
so tightly that the practice OF
giving bread to poor people which
has been in effect this winter
has been discontinued, one official
of the company stated.
All Sunday deliveries by this
company are being made before
midnight Saturday, it was learned
at the plant. Change in the
operating program and delivery
schedules followed police action
Of a week ago.
Objects to Color
Clear thinking on the part OF
the public with regard to the
Sunday closing program has not
been helped by politicians and
the press, according to the Rev.
DR.. F. R. Bayley, pastor Of the
Walbrook Methodist Episcopal
Church, who said that constant
harping on "blue laws" is not
accurate.
He objects to the labelling of
laws and insisted that it is just
as valid to call an open COM
mercial Sunday law "red" as to
call the present statutes "blue."

WHITE EXPLAINS CHAMBER PLANSBULLET CRAzES
 HIS PARK IDEA ISLAND GUESTSHEAD OF MAN ITO CHAMBER FOR NEXT WEEK PICKING BERRIES
R. D. Miles Doesn't Know for Several Hours
 of Close Call

While R. D. Miles of Juneau was picking berries on the side of Mount Juneau off the Basin Road yesterday evening, a bullet from a high powered rifle creased the top of his head. He was not aware of his narrow escape from death until few hours later.
 MT. Miles remembers reaching for a particularly fine cluster of berries and his next recollection is of being on bed at his home with Dr. L. P. Dawes and Mrs. Miles standing nearby with looks of concern on their faces.
 Mir. Miles cannot recall any pain resulting from the bullet or how he arrived home from the hillside. Mrs. Miles was not at the house when he reached there.
 The shock caused by the bullet grazing the skull rendered Mir Miles unconscious. The supposition is that the person who did the shooting possibly mistaking MT Miles for a bear-conveyed the senseless man home The fact that he was unable to give any in formation about himself leads to the inference that the person who fired the rifle must be an acquaint- ance of MT. Miles.
 Judging from all the circum- stances, the bullet must have been discharged from higtfpowered weapon" declared Doctor Dawes. ''If the missile had ranged one inch lower, it would have instantly kill ed MT. Miles. It went through his hat and just touched the top of his head"
