This leaves only two possible reasons for a Sunday closing law — one to use the state's police power to require certain businesses now- operating on Sunday to close the other to regulate and limit in some degree the rights of individuals to Sunday activity The former is such rank discrimination it is difficult to see how any legislator icould support it In his message accompanying a veto of similar legislation in 1959 Governor Clyde said it very well: "I have been forced to the conclusion that the major support (for Sunday closing) comes from a group of retail merchants who are seeking by this means to regulate competition within their own industry I do not to to enact laws it tliink proper provide an eC01101111C to a advantage particular group e - i - 1 1 0 - I - 1 -- 1 ! e - meet- - ' '' gadfly Senator John J Williams has called for a "long overdue investigation" of what he termed widespread scandals in the construction of apartment buildings insured by the Federal Housing Administration Williams said that as of last December 31 the FHA had 745 million dollars worth of apartment projects it had foreclosed a total of 616 projects with more than 72000 apartment units On the past experience the senator predicted the FHA would lose from 30 to 45 per cent of this money — which means millions "pouring down ratholes into the ' pockets of speculators and promoteh" Mr Williams compared the situation to the "windfall profits" made by unscrupulous builders in the major housing scandal of the 1950s He even said some of the same builders who were then prosecuted and forced to give back their profits are doing the same thing today ' The windfall is made possible when promoters obtain mortgage guarantees (R-De- - l) - I' r - I' not-Wh- 'I : 4' ' :1' : kiii ": ('- - - J frrce - -- 4 ct77 :7 -- 1 1 I I I ° 'C i 4- i r t i t I I 1 1 i i 1 )ity t - I eon 1 11of I -'- i -- 1167 " eN I el 'n -- 4 016 'IL" I I A ) I1 hit ' Q I A- - &Le I ea mffift A 2 -- Li cer 'i --- t ‘-- 28 29 3 0 31 1 — ": 0 71 r - ' I - pm 26 - firiti-- - iktt - AIWA 1 I !
