Blue Laws Up for Test
Before Supreme Court

Stantial Federal question was
presented.
But the enforcement crack
down by States has brought
a new furry of legal challenges
centered on the constitutional
guarantees of freedom of re-
! ligion.
The Massachusetts, case is
perhaps the strongest threat
ever raised to blue laws. The
three-judge panel found that
the Massachusetts, blue laws
provide special protection to
the dominant Christian sects"
and discriminate against Jews
and others who observe Sat-
urday as their Sabbath.
The Supreme Court upheld
Sunday closing laws in land
mark cases in the last century
These decisions were based on
a day of rest" doctrine which
held blue laws to be essentially
civil rather than religious in
nature.
But times have changed
greatly since these still-stand-
ing rulings. The courts de-
cision in the cases accepted
today, which will not be argued
until next term, could shed
entirely new legal light on the
whole problem of Sunday laws.
Maryland Case Outlined
The Maryland case was ap-
pealed by eight employees of
the Two Guys from Harrison
firm who were convicted of the
Sunday sale of such items as
floor wax, a looseleaf note
book and a toy submarine. The
employees were charged with
the violations about 10 days
after the company opened a
store on Ritchie highway in

The Washington area today
sizzled in record-breaking heat,
but relief will arrive tomorrow
with a spring thundershower.
The forecaster said the mer-
curry will reach 95 degrees be-
fore sundown today-a record
temperature for April 25. The
previous high for the date was
SO in 1915.
However, the thermometer
registered 95 degrees just two
days ago so today's figure will
not be a record for 1860. Yes
terday's high was "a degrees

Tonight the weather will
cool down to 81 degrees with
tomorrow expected to be hot
again until moisture spreads

in the form of afternoon or
evening thundershowers.
Wednesday will be cooler.

Mr.. KhruShchev repeated that

Careful Timing Seen
(Mr. Khrushchev's declara-
ton was viewed in Washing
ton as perhaps timed to the
meeting of President Eisen-
hover, and French President
Charles de Gaulle. The pur-
pose may have been to get out
with his new strong statement
on Berlin in advance of the
joint communique from the
United States and French
Presidents scheduled for later

Mentions Air Lanes Now
Mr.. Khrushchev told his au-
dience that a peace treaty with
East which the West
refuses to recognize as a SOW
ereign state-would put an end
to the World War II surrender
terms.
This is the position he has
taken all along. But he went
further to mention the air
lanes, which the Western allies
are believed to be planning to
use-as in the 1948 airlift-if
Evening star., 1960-04-25

East Germany takes over the
land routes.
This is the way he put it:
IF the Western powers did
not choose to sign a peace
treaty, that would not entitle
them to the rights they want
preserved. They would natural
ly then forfeit the right of &C
cess to West Berlin by land,
water and air."
West Position Firm
Berlin, 100 miles from West
Germany, is surrounded by the
Communist East. The United
States, Britain and France
have stationed troops there as
an outpost of the West since
World War II.
Western leaders have insisted
they will not negotiate with
Mr.. Khrushchev under the
threat of any Berlin ultimatum.
Mr.. Khrushchev told the
Baku meeting disarmament is
the first problem for the sum-
nit. The deadlock on disarma =
ment, he said, is "the greatest
roadblock in the way to a
strengthened peace on this
planet"
President Charles de Gaulle
of France has said disarmament
should be the leading topic at
the summit meeting. This ap-
pears to be the view among
Western leaders.
Mr.. Khrushchev continued: !:
THE second issue, which af-
fects the interests of many ma
tions, is conclusion of a peace
treaty with Germany, includ-
ing the normalization of West
Berlin.
Conclusion of a peace treaty
with Germany would at the
same time mean liquidation of
the occupation regime in West
Berlin and, consequently, the
withdrawal of the occupation
troops from there"

BY ROBERT E. CLARK
Star STAFF Writer

The Supreme Court agreed
today to review three cases
raising the most serious con-
Stitutional challenge in many
years to so-called Sunday blue
laws.
Among the decisions it will
examine is the finding of a
three-judge Federal court that
the State of Massachusetts
cannot compel a kosher super
market to close on Sunday.
Another of the cases is an
appeal by an interstate chain
known as 1.-TWO Guys from
Harrison" which protests S
a g ainst Maryland's Sunday
closing laws. The third case is
an appeal by the same COM
pany from Pennsylvania clos
ing laws.
Enforcement Stepped Up
The expansion of Sunday
shopping centers and discount
houses in recent years has led
several States to tighten en-
forcement of Sunday laws.
Maryland, Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania have been apply
ing old statutes with new vigor.
Virginia recently toughened
its laws by legislative action to
bar the Sunday sale of items
ranging from fresh eggs to
automobiles.
The conStitutionality of such
laws has not been subjected to
thorough Supreme Court scru-
tiny for over half a century
The last major blue law case
appealed to the Supreme
Court, involving a Kosher
market in New York, was dis
missed without a hearing in

Richardson Nominated
As Municipal Judge

President Eisenhower today
sent to the Senate the nomina-
ton of Randolph c. Richard
son as an associate Municipal
Court judge.
A member of the law firm of
Pledger, Edgerton & Richard
son, he would succeed retiring
Municipal Court Judge George
D. Nelson.
Mr.. Richardson, 81, had been
named by President Eisen-
hover in 1858 to replace Judge
Nelson, who was expected to
retire at that time.
However, Judge Nelson was
permitted to serve two addi-
tional years so that he could
receive larger retirement pay.
Delayed by Senators
Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada and chairman of the
Senate District Committee, an
nounced on August 6. 1858,
that the committee had de-
cided to permit Judge Nelson
to stay on to earn his full re-
tirement benefits. The COM
mittee refused to act on Mr..
Richardson's nomination.
If Judge Nelson had retired
two years ago he would have
received $4,000 a year in re-
tirement pay. Now he is eligi-
Bile to get 1866 annually.
Mr.. Richardson is dean of
law and a member of the board
of trustees of Benjamin Frank
lin University. The Norfolk
born attorney attended Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute and
received his law degree from

all of seeing peace established
in the world, "but he did not
minimize the magnitude and
complexity of problems await
ing discussion at the forthcom-
ing summit conference. He
said that conference may orient
the fate of mankind either to-
ward calamity or peace.
Greeted by tremendous ova-
tions at the beginning and end
of a 25-minute address he de-
livered in French at a joint
session of House and Senate,
Gen. de Gaulle warned that no
real improvement can be made
in international relations "if
the temptation and threat of
nuclear war remain hanging
over the world"
Ends Talks With President
Earlier, Gen. de Gaulle and
President Eisenhower concluded
their pre-summit strategy talks
and Gen. de Gaulle reported:
"All is very we'll"
The French leader spent an
hour with Mr.. Eisenhower at
the White House before going
to the Capitol.
Gen. de Gaulle told Congress
that destruction of nuclear
weapons "by common consent"
under international supervision
offers the only hope "for the
future of our species"
The French leader declared
that unless other powers - the
United States, Britain and the
Soviet Union-renounce atomic
weapons, "the French Repub-
lie obviously will be obliged to
equip itself with such arma-
ments." Other nations pre-
sumably will do the same.
Fear Accidental War
"In the state of increasing
uncertainty in which fear
throws the peoples Of the
world" he said, "the risk grows
that, one day, events will eS-
cape from the control of those
who obey reason and that the
worst catastrophes will be un-
leashed by fanatics, lunatics, or
men of ambition"
His 1,000-word speech, de-
livered in French while legis-
lators read English transla-
tionS, heavily emphasized dis
armament but warned Russia
anew against trying to force a
showdown with the West over
Berlin.
Warns on Optimism
Gen. de Gaulle said he did
not believe the human race
has ever been more threatened
than it is now. He described
the world as dominated by

plagued by two apparently
irreconcilable systems each of
which claims it possesses the

38 Delegations
In House Back
Vote for DC.
Poll Shows Proposal
Now Hos Support
In "a of Stutes
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star stad Writer

Congressional delegations of
S8 States favor setting up Pres
idential elections in the Ma
tion's Capital.
A constitutional amendment
granting this kind of suffrage
requires the approval of two
thirds of Congress and three
quarters, or 38, of the States.
In six other key States, dele
cations are split between those
in favor and undecided.
A majority of representatives
In four States-Florida, Geor-
gia. Mississippi and Virginia
have not made up their
minds yet. Louisiana has three
for, three against and two un-
decided.
And Alabama is the lone
State with a majority of Rep
resentatives opposed.
These are the further re-
suits of a poll by The Star to
gauge sentiment in the House
of Representatives on the suf-
frage proposal.
312 Favor Suffrage
The poll disclosed that 312
members-24 more than two
thirds of the House-are agreed
on the principle Of permitting
Washington citizens to vote
for President and Vice PreN-
dent. A companion proposal
giving voteless residents a dele
cation to represent the city in
the House was backed in prin-
ciple by 280 members, eight less
than two thirds. Most of the
rest of the House were un-
decided.
The Senate already has
cleared such an amendment.
An almost identical proposal
has had House hearings and Is
awaiting action of a House
Judiciary Subcommittee, head
ed by a suffrage sponsor, Rep
resentative Celler, Democrat of
New York.
431 Face Election
The 431 men and women
serving in the House face elec-
tions every two years. They
always are close to their con-
stituents. Particularly in this
election year are they sensitive
to opinions back home.
Recognizing the responsible
ity of Representatives to the
electorate, The Star concluded
the poll was a stpang indication
Of how State also might line
up on the issue in the future.
Should Congress clear the
amendment, it would go direct
ly to Legislatures of the so
States.
A special staff of 80 Star staff
members contacted all but %
members of the House in the
poll.
Supporting Delegations
They found delegations 100
per cent behind the presiden-
tial vote in Alaska, Arizona,
Colorado, Connecticut, Della
ware. Kansas, Maryland, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New Jersey. North Dakota,
Rhode Island, South Dakota,
