two years ago.
The court ruled that the
Sunday laws were based on a
Day of rest" doctrine that is
civil in nature rather than
religious.
If it could be shown that the
purpose was State aid to re-
ligion. it would be unconstitu-
tional, Chief Justice Warren
said in the opinion.
Legislation Was Urged
"A commission named in 1859
by Gov. Tawes to study the
laws, urged new legislation "in
the interest of protecting Sum-
day as a general day Of rest,
recreation and family activi-
ties.
IF the reasons advanced for
Sunday observance are limited
to religious motivation, legisla-
tion implementing such OBJ
servance could be interpreted
as a violation of the principle
of separation of church and
state"
The commission report was
received late in the 1859 ses-
sion and referred to the Leg
iSlatiye Council so it could he
given full airing.
1t has been held up since to
await the Supreme Court rul-
ing of yesterday.
Actual Closing Asked
The major change in Mary
lands 1928 Sunday law, as rec
commended by the commission
was actual closing of business
establishments, with a few ex-
ceptions.
Existing law does not require
stores to close. Instead it lists
items which may be sold legally
These items vary in Baltimore
City and the % counties.
Gov. Tawes named the study
commission after controversy
arose over enforcement of the
laws, particularly in Baltimore
and Anne Arundel Counties.
Among more than 40 en-
ployes of stores arrested in
northern Anne Arundel were
eight of a branch of a chain
store known as Two Guys
From Harrison"
It was their case, ir which
