DELAY SECOND VOTE ON OPEN SUNDAY HERE Opposition Organizing and Will Be Given Hearing Wednesday HOPING TOAVOID HEATED DISCUSSION Opposition to an ordinance au 1 thorizing Sunday amusements and j baseball in Hendersonville was | rapidly taKintr definite form to i day, although it appeared that | studied efforts were being made to avoid heated discussions that might prove seriously deterimen tal to business, civic and religi ous interests of tfie city. Announcement was made by Mayor A. V. Edwards that the I board of city commissioners, which I passed the ordinance on first j reading late Saturday, had grant ! ed an audience to the ministers j of the city for 5 p. m.

Milo W. Strong, 1 president, while favoring1 the or dinance, had said previously tha'" j in view of conflicting opinions he ; believed the Chamber of Com merce should have nothing to do j with opposing the ordinance or I urging its passage1. | Referring to the proposed con i ference of ministers and commis ' sioners tomorrow, the Rev. Mr. Moser said today that he believed this was the best method of pre senting opposition to the move-1 ment to legalize Sunday amuse ments, particularly an a first step. "The commissioners," he said, "are members of our churches and we believe they will be re ceptive to the arguments which we will present against further commercializing the Sabbath." While the ministers had noth ing further to sav today, it was learned from other sources that if final enactment of the ordi nance is urged, the opposition will exert additional pressure (Continued on page four.)

He later donned a heavy over coat and came on deck for a glimpse of the last land he will see until the Exilona approaches the coast of North America and puts in at Boston. A chill .vind whipped the sea into choppy waves as the Exilona nosed westward. Insull was si lent as the Union Jack, under which he was born a British sub ject 74 years ago, fluttered in the wind, waving farewell as dusk settled over the sea and land slipped out of sight to the stern.

(UP) The agricultural adjustment ad ministration yesterday abandoned efforts to restrict production of milk—most important American farm product.

Farm administrators kept their promise not to impose the control plan on the industry against its will. Administrator Chester C. Davis expressed fear that lack of pro duction control would reduce the effectiveness of marketing agree ments and federal licenses now operating in about 21 communi ties. Otherwise, however, he ex pressed no disappointment, stat ing that he did not jegard the ac tion as a setback to the AAA pro gram as a whole and that ha would have been unwilling to ad minister a plan hampered by an unwilling industry.

LaFollette CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 24.— (UP).—The conception of the functions of money has be come more socialized in recent years, in contrast to the old idea that the "sole function of banking is to facilitate the production and marketing1 of goods," Prof. Ray B.
