Johnson, as head of the Office of Defense Transportation, are race horse transportation per mitted while a ban on church conferences and retreats is im posed by your office? We think the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce pushed the key button when it addressed members of Con fess in the following terms: “When the government itself decides that transporta tion problems are so well solved that horses and jockeys and race track patrons can expend travel miles so freely we feel justified in urging you to raise a vigorous voice of protest on the floor of Congress, insisting on the right of unrestricted' assemblage within each state of essential groups for the pur pose of furthering the war effort. The public cannot under stand how horse racing which involves large scale travel and millions in betting, can be authorized, while the ban on meet ings of scientific, religious and trades groups is continued.” It will be remembered that when the ban on racing was imposed the fans raised a big hullaboo and finally managed to get it lifted. There is much more worth while argument on the part of the churches for the lifting of the ban on re ligious conferences and gatherings, but for some reason or other Mr. Johnson, the race fans seem to have the “ayes.” Diousands At Bethime Festival; Bond Sales Heavy Annual Picnic and Bari>acue Featured By Martial Music and Fun Carrison Heads Conunerce Group Henry (i.
