Urged toSuve
Old Buildings

Closer cooperation between
city planners and organizations
concerned with preserving ar
chitectural antiquities was
urged yesterday at the 18th
annual meeting of the National
Trust for Historic Preservation
in the Mayflower Hotel.
Stephen w. Jacobs, archi-
lecture authority of the Uni
Versity of California, told the
group that the value of such
cooperation has been grad
ually gaining recognition over
the years.
But, he emphasized, it is be-
coming more imperative as
large-scale urban renewal pro-
grams are undertaken through
out the Nation.
Local Action Stressed
ways must be found to in
tegrate the architectural past
with the present." Mr.. Jacobs
said. 1--WE need not let auto
mobile freeways be horrible
dragons gobbling up good
things that happen to lie in
their paths"
He further contended that
the vast bulk" of preservation
work should be through local,
rather than Federal or State
action.
In the business sessions a
$4,000 donation from the WAL
den Fund to advance the his
toric groups educational activ-
tiles and a $500 contribution
from the Questers to restore

ministers to reduce Sunday
commercial activities will be
made in Northern Virginia
churches tomorrow.
The Rev. George E. Schnabel,
president of the Arlington Min
isterial Association, said that
tomorrow has been designated
as Sunday Observance Day"
Mr.. Schnabel said all Prot
estant ministers in Arlington
have been asked to base their
Sermons on the Sunday business
closing issue. He also said the
matter will be discussed tomor-
row in Catholic churches in
Northern Virginia.
The Catholic and Protestant
churches will distribute $4,000

Stop, don't shop on Sunday"
Meeting Set
Mr.. Schnabel said representa-
tives of Protestant churches in
Northern Virginia will meet
Friday to organize committee
to press for enforcement of
Virginia's Sunday closing laws.
State law says that only bust
neSses of charity or necessity"
may be carried on on Sunday.
THE invasion of Sunday will
not be tolerated by the Chris
tan community, Catholic or
Protestant" Mr.. Schnabel said
in the announcement of tomor-
rows campaign.
In a letter to each of it's mem
bers, Mr.. Schnabel said t he
Arlington ministerial group
Endorsed a resolution adopted
earlier by the Northern Virginia
Deanery of Catholic Women.
The resolution urges residents
to plan their shopping so it will
not be necessary to shop on
Sunday, to patronize during the
week only those businesses
which close on Sunday, to limit
Sunday buying to emergency
needs, to enlist friends and
neighbors to do likewise and to
take special pains within the
family to sanctify Sunday by
making it a day of true spiritual
and social refreshment."
More Shops Open
Mr.. Schnabel pointed out that
a recent police survey showed
about ESQ business places open
on Sunday in Arlington COM
pared to about 100 a year ago.
The Arlington County Board
has been urged to see that the
Sunday closing law is enforced.
The board has appointed a COM
mittee to advise it on what
businesses should be considered
as a necessity" and therefore
allowed to be open on Sunday.
Several business establish
mentS in Alexandria and Fair
fax have been charged with
violating the Sunday closing
law. The cases are pending in
the courts.
Law Assailed
Their attorneys have charged
that the Sunday closing law
is unconstitutional because it is
designed to enforce religious
observance in violation of the
First Amendment.
One lawyer asserted this week
that the current pressure by
ministers for enforcement of
the law indicates its religious
nature.
Others contend the law is
Impractical and discriminatory
because it is unequally en-
forced. They also say it is i'm
possible to define a necessity"
Some firms accused of DEFY
ing the rule have implied they
intend to appeal all the way
to the Supreme Court, if neceS-
sary, in an effort to Danish
