B—8 THE LIBERAL ATTACKS TOPPLEBLUE LAWS Sunday Sports, Movies and | Smoking in Public Gains Ground in States. By the Associated Press. A CHICAGO, March 18 —The ‘blue laws are doing a fade-out. Legisla- tors of 1935, in a liberal mood, have | wiped off the statute books many of those laws that were rooted in the strait-laced past. It is possible, now, to puff a cigaret right out in such public places as restaurants and street cars in North Dakota without offending the law. But, lest the bluish tint disappear completely, the North Dakota law- makers wrote in some new “don'ts.” It outlawed certain endurance con- tests—walkathons, dance-athons and skate-athons, and banned dancing in | beer parlors. A similar bill to banish “thons” was passed by the Minnesota | Senate and sent to the House for | action. Sports Win Innings. | The Massachusetts House killed a | measure that would have allowed Sun- day bowling, but it did take more kindly to basket ball and hockey on the Sabbath and sent along to the Senate approving measures. Sunday movies, base ball, hunting, legalized betting all gained ground here and there. Delaware granted its communities the privilege of deciding whether to countenance base ball and foot ball on Sunday. | Kansas tossed overboard a 49-year- old law which barred hunting on Sundays, and in Missouri a bill to amend an anti-Sabbath hunting law is pending. Legal betting on horse and dog | races was approved by the Georgia House. t Sunday Movies Gain. | ‘The Connecticut Legislature s con- | sidering a bill to permit movies to open at 2 p.m. on Sunday, and a | Sunday movie measure has been in- troduced in Tennessee. For Catholics, Jews And Protestants Catholics, Jews and Protestants will make merry together Wednesday night. The Brotherhood of the Eighth Street Temple of the Hebrew Congre- gation, instigator of the event, an- nounces: “The brotherhood puts over a scoop, bringing together prominent Catho- lics, Protestants and Jews in an inter- esting good-will discussion.” Feeling the necessity for putting its foot down somewhere, the brother- hood adds: “Sorry, ladies! Meeting for members and their male guests.” The emissaries from the three camps include Rev. James Shera Montgomery, chaplain of the House of Representatives; William E. Leahy, who will discuss “Views of a Catho- lic”; L. P. Steuart, past potentate of the Mystic Shrine, who will give his “Views of a Protestant,” and Arthur Weil, newspaper correspondent, who will talk on “Jewish Current Topics.” Rabbi Abram Simon will say the closing prayer. Sidney Seidemann will give a violin solo. Selma Selinger Klein will render vocal selections. WALLACE TO FIGHT TOBACCO REDUCTION Raps Farm Interests Which “Would Abuse Govern- mental Powers.” With a flat statement opposing a | set policy of “scarcity economics,” Sec- retary of Agriculture Wallace today was ready to rebuke the fattening to- bacco-growing industry for its de- mands of further production restric- tion. With corn, tobacco is the only farm commodity which today is selling above | parity, the goal of the restrictive pol- icy outlined in the emergency A. A. A. act. Price to growers of flue-cured to- bacco is 30 cents, including the 3-cent benefit payment. This price rise came after a 40 per cent acreage cut. Now tobacco men seek a continua- | tion of this reduction, and about two | weeks ago a delegation of North Caro- Merry Gathering |JENISH CONVENTION DUE TO DRAW 1,500 Program Plans Near Completion, Under Direction of Allen V. de Ford.
