The en- forcement, in it's early stages, wit- messed the formation of men than 50 grocers who were interested in bringing the matter to the state supreme court of errors. They er- gagged counsel and met several times to discuss the means whereby a statute might be passed permitted Sunday sales of meat and groceries.

|Lynching Curb
 Hardy Perennial

Washington, Jan. 3-(UP)-The House started its l940 session with @ hardy perennial certain to arouse fireworks-the proposed federal law to curb lynching.
 The bill is expected to be called up for action on Jan. 8--the first possible date under House proce- dure. Its sponsor is Rep. Joseph A, Gavagan, D., N. r.. who reps resents New York City's Harlem region.
 The measure repeatedly has been pressed before Congress. It has been passed before by the House, only to be filibustered or shelved in the Senate.
 It would impose fines on coun- ties and peace officers found negligent in the protection of per- sons who become the victims of lynchings. Advocates of the measure claim sufficient support to insure house passage again this year.

NEW FIRE CAPTAINS MAY BE APPOINTED
New Board May Delay Fill- ing Vacancies for
 Some Time

Appointment of two new fire de- partment captains, whose salaries are provided in the 1940 budget, will be considered by Mayor Vincent A, Scully and the members of the new board of fire commissioners. The members of the board have not yet been appointed, but will be named shortly.
 It Is believed that the mayor will study the situation with care before making a decision on whether or not the two vacancies should be filled. The new board will accede to his wishes in the matter.
 Reports are heard that the ap- continents may be delayed for some time, in the interests of economy However, fire department heads are said to be desirous of having the places filled so that the department will be at full strength.
 Naming of two new captains would no doubt make other promo tions along the line. If the captains are chosen from among the present lieutenants, then two privates would be elevated to lieutenancieS, and then the way would be clear to name two new privates.
 The two captaincies are being sought by Q number of candidates.

Presiding Judge


 Luciano santoro, 60, of sl2 Bank street: and Michael Koval, 48, of 24 Wood street. Each was arrested on charges of selling meat or other groceries prohibited by the law.
 Points Emphasized
 Defense counsel George Lynch, Perry Gracerstein, William Gager, and Morris Robin made the fol- lowing points in their general de- fense:
 tD Public demand forces cer- tain storekeepers to sell meat or prohibited groceries, such as toma- to paste, on Sunday. Therefore, CNll the law to the attention not only of storekeepers, but of the pub- liO.
 (2) The law Is now being en- forces piecemeal, grocers and butch- CTS being nabbed at random. En- forcement, if there must be any, should be general.
 lS) Grocers and butchers would like to close on Sunday. Coinpeti- ton keeps them open.
 (D The law Is confusing and in some ways a hangover from the Blue Law.
 (5) Crusade against small store- keepers was begun by pressure of cham stores. Prosecuting Attorney William K. Lawlor refuted this charge.
 (6) The law Is partial. On Sum- days the public may purchase Q large assortment of articles in drug stores.
 In Favor
 Prosecutor Lawlor told the court that an association of butchers and grocers has been formed which Is strong for enforcing the statute prohibiting Sunday sales. He said the organization is also working to bring about e situation wherein grocers and butchers will not work on Sunday. At
 Judge Conway pointed out to de- fense counsel that the legislature in making statute which permits the sale of certain articles and pro- hibits the shale of others on Sum- days was confronted by the ques- ticn of where to draw the line. He
