Head Of Anti-Blue
Law League Kicks
Washington High School Teacher
Writes Hoover A Letter That
Bristles With Criticism.
Washington.—President Hoover’-,
refusal to receive a group opposing
enactment of a Sunday closing law
here, after he had received ad
vocates of the measure, is protested
in a letter sent him by Henry Flury.
president of the National association
Opposed to Blue Laws. Flury is a
teacher here at the Eastern hign
school.
The letter from the anti-blue law
leader bristles with criticism of the
president and bitterness toward
Bishop James Cannon and other
"theological politicians.”
Flury was prompted to write the
letter by the fact that Presides
Hoover received a group, including
Bishop Cannon, Canon Chase and
the Rev. Harry Bowlby, who sought
to impose the restrictions on Wash
ington's Sunday.
Shortly after this group had been
received, a group representing the
opposition called at the White
House, but was informed that Pres
ident Hoover would not receive them
because of a change of policy whim
sought to prevent the use of such
visits as a cloak of propaganda.
“It Is not really essential, ’ Flury
wrote, "as lar as the National Asso
ciation Opposed to Blue Laws Is
concerned, whether its representa
tive see you or not, but a sudden
change of policy, which seems to
put one group— a narrow-minded
bigoted minority—in a favorable
light, and another group—the pro
gressive, liberal minded majority—
in an unfavorable light by showing
them the back door, is utterly un
fair.
"Our committee felt that as a
matter of courtesy, not as a right,
it was entitled to at least a fift/
fifty proposition. Too long, Mr.
President, has this Cannon group
dictated to American citizens petty
personally restrictive regulations.
•‘The unhappy impression now
current, so far as I can discover, Is
that you are afraid to antagonize
theological politicians like Bishoe
Cannon, Canon Chase and Rev. Dr.
Bowlby.
Recent revelations by Mrs. Ma
bel Willebrandt and others. the
preferential treatment accorded
theocrats at the White House and’
certain other indications, are raising
grave doubts in the public mind as
to just what debts and obligations
were contracted in the last presi
dential campaign.
* “This matter of theocratic dic
tatorship is engaging the serious at
tention of all American citizens
who look with fear upon any mili
tant church aggregation that seeks
to dominate civic life."
Honk Answers Not.
New York.—Failing to get a reply
from Henry Ford to a letter ap
pealing for advice on how to kee;)
the streets of Queens Borough clear
of abandoned autos, officials the- a
have formed a special police guard
whose duties will be to patrol tin
principal highways and force dis
gusted owners to suffer some more.
Yerhaps the way to state a great
truth is that men wear too many
foolish clothes and women not
enough sensible garments.—Boston
