DEAR MR. JOHNSON
Why, Mr. Monroe J. 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.”
