Movies To Close Completely
Sunday Because OF I.] Expected.
Blue Law" Enforcement Here

The city's three movie thea
tiers, the Palace, Strand and Mon
roe will shut down completely on
Sunday because of anticipated
enforcement of the so-called
Sunday blue laws, their pro-
prietors said today.
Y. D. Carbonell, manager of
the Strand and Monroe, and Con
Zalo Bezanilla, who leases the
building from the Cuban govern
ment, said they could not remain
open if Ordinance No. so, passed
in October, 1913, is enforced in
accordance with wishes expressed
by the City Commission to pro-
hibit the operation of all estab-
lishments doing business illegally
on Sunday.
They said that City Manager 0.
j. S. Ellingson had told them
that he would have to enforce the
law as the commission desired.
They added that they had receiv-
ed no notification to close or any
other word concerning enforce
ment other than that.
Carbonell and Bezanilla said
they could not even open at G
pm. as permitted by the l91a
statute, since it requires them to
turn over 20 percent Of Sunday
receipts to local charity. They
said they could not operate TN
der such conditions as it would
not be financially feasible.
Both theater men held out hops
that the City Commissioners
might come to some agreement
before Sunday which might al
low them to open. II so, they
said the public will be notified.
Otherwise, there will be no mo-
vieS in Key West either Sunday
afternoon or night. Normally the
theaters open at 3 pm. on Sun
day.
Since the 1913 ordinance re-
strictS theaters to operation only
after 6 pm. ito show pictures of
a moral or educational nature
that shall have been passed by a
National Board of Censorship"
the movies which were to have
been shown Sunday are of par
ticular interest.
Not much is known of Hotel
de Verano", a Spanish language
picture which the Monroe was to
present. "Cluny Brown, original
ly scheduled at the Strand, how
ever, is a smash hit starring
Charles Boyer and Jennifer Jones
in a clean-cut comedy. 1.-THE
Man In Gray, which the Palace
was to offer, is a British picture
of exceptional calibre. A suspense
drama starring Margaret Lock
wood and James Mason, it has
become one of the outstanding pic
lures of the year both in this
country and abroad.

President To Broadcast
Appeal To Coal Miners
To Return To Their Pits
WILL POINT OUT 1T Is A
CASE OF THEIR UN-
ION AGAINST THEIR
COUNTRY
tBy The Associated Fressl

(By The Associated E'ressl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The
White House announced today
that President Truman, in a
broadcast beginning at $50 o'clock
Sunday night, will appeal to the
striking soft-coal workers to re-
turn to their pits.
1t was said he will point out
that the strike has become so Sc
rious, in upsetting the welfare Of
the citizens of the United States.
the miners will face the question
of whether their country or their
union comes first with them.
Opinion here was general that
comparatively few miners will re-
turn to their jobs because of the
Presidents appeal The vast ma
iority of them will return to the
pits only if John l.. Lewis tells
them to return.
Twenty-eight hundred miners
are working today in pits in west
ern Pennsylvania. All but a few
of them are non-union men.
Union men among them have re-
Sumed work as a protest against
John L. Lewis leadership of the
soft-coal miners. Output of the
$500 is 40 tons day.
Difficulty was encountered to-
day in determining on the col
lateral for the $3,500.000 bond
that is to be posted for the United
Mine Workers of America, pend
ing the appeal Of the case against
the miners and Lewis. Govern
ment and union attorneys con
ferred about the bond, and sew
eral times they were in confer
ence with Federal Judge Colds
borough, but no agreement has
yet been reached as to the nature
of the bond.
A spokesman for the Depart
ment of the Interior said today
that the government is preparing
to add seven more states TO the
81 where dimoutS are in effect.
He said further that the gov
eminent is making preparations
for a strike that may last till
next March Should that hap
pen, the industrial production in
the United States will be cut
down to one half of what it was
from 1885 to 1899.

DATED" MEASURES
EXCEPT ON SALE OF

City Commissioner Louis Car
bonell today jumped to the res
cue of Key West businesses
which will be hit by the en-
f0reement of so-called Sunday
blue laws" The commissioner
said he is absolutely opposed to
blue laws" and would sponsor
measures to amend them or wipe
them off the books.
Carbonell, who sponsored a
motion at Tuesdays city COM
mission meeting which called
for the closing of all business
establishments operating lille
gally on Sunday, said he would
move to eliminate all blue law
ordinances except those prohibit
ing Sunday sale of liquor.
Enforcement of Sunday ordi-
nances, was demanded by Car
bonnet after his measure for
permitting the Sunday sale of
perfumes, gifts, souvenirs; fruits,
curios, and cosmetics was de-
feated by a 80 vote.
Carbonell explained today that
the proposed the latter ordinance
in order to make it legal for
stores selling those items to re-
main open. He pointed out that
drug stores and other places SELL
ing toilet articles and the above
named items would otherwise
have to close since existing
laws prohibit them from selling
after 8 a. m.
Mayor William w, Demeritt,
and Commissioners John Carbon
nell and Albert Cooper, voted
against L. Carbonell and Com
missioner Hunter Harden on the
measure.
Il want to open those stores

to tourists, Carbonell said, 'be-
cause we will eventually have to
depend upon the tourist trade to
get by in Key West.
Il am going to try to bring
the, out-dated ordinances up to
date and in step with our times
so our stores can sell things
tourists want. AS it is now, drug
stores cannot legally even sell
you razor blade. l want to make
it legal for them to do So"
Carbonell said he favored re-
peal of the ordinance which re-
quires movies to stay closed on
Sunday until p. m.
About the only establishments
which am in favor of closing
on Sunday, he said, "are those
