Sunday Closing Law Rejected In Montana Helena, Mont. - OiPl - Mon tana's House of Representa tives, for the second time in the 1963 session, slammed the door Wednesday on Sunday closing legislation. . The House refused to con sider a Senate Sunday closing bill on grounds the measure was introduced in the Senate after the House had killed similar legislation. Under House rules, it would have taken unanimous consent for the bill to reach the floor, and the question was greeted with a chorus of disapproval. Regional Movement Sunday closing has been a regional movement this year, with bills introduced in the legislatures of Utah, Washing ton, Oregon and Idaho as well as Montana. Idaho's house killed the legislation but bills were still alive in Washing ton, Oregon and Utah. In Montana, it was one of the hottest and bitterest is sues of the session and pro duced a deluge of an esti mated 10,000 letters, tele grams and petitions favoring Sunday closing. Basically, the Montana pro posals would have closed most of the larger retail stores on Sunday. But it was no "blue law." Its long list of excep tions included taverns. As one clergyman who op posed it said, "You could buy beer but not a Bibie on Sunday."
