See Menace in Bill For Alien Deportation

WASHINGTON—Another effort will be made during the present congressional session to pass the drastic alien deportation bill, the adoption of which was attacked in the last congress as certain to bring about a virtual reign of terror among the 5,000,000 adult aliens resident in the United States.

The bill already has been given another hearing before the house immigration committee, although it has not yet been reported to the house, such a report is deemed certain, however, inasmuch as the same committee reported it out last year with only two dissenting votes.

The measure, in fact, passed the house vote of 213 to 39, and was prevented from becoming law primarily because it became lost in the senate’s legislative jam.

At this session, however, it is expected to get an earlier start, and consequently a better chance of passage.

The only solace the Weather Bureau had to hold out against a prospect of two or three days of frigid temperature was that it sees no prospect of snow accompanying it. While the thermometer is flirting with the zero point tonight the sky will be cloudy and probably will continue that way tomorrow.

By the Associated Press.

JOHNSTOWN. Pa January 20 —A much perturbed and a little defiant citizenry tonight faced a Sunday without movies, sodas or gasoline as Mayor Eddie McCloskey prepared to show the people just how “ridiculous’’ blue laws are anyway.

Every business house got orders from policemen today to “pull down your blinds tomorrow and keep them down” under an edict of the mayor that a blue law of 1913 will be enforced to the last letter.

The mayor said he will back up the old law so well “that the paid choir singers will not be permitted to appear in the churches.”
