Daylight Time
For Maryland
Held Unlikely
Change Opposed Here
Unless Both Nearby
States Adopt 1t

Virginia will be the only State in
this area to adopt daylight saving
time, it appeared today, as the Dis
trict and Maryland indicated dis
approval.
Gov. O'Conor of Maryland an
nounced he would take no steps to
switch from Eastern standard to
daylight saving time unless the Fed
eral Government asked him to do
50, and a spokesman for President
Roosevelt indicated no such special
request would be made.
Gov. O'Conor, in Baltimore, said,
"I have not been asked to alter our
time and I do not know If I have
the power to do so. When Fed
eral request is made I will get a
ruling on the legality and make a
decision.
The proclamation of Gov. Price
of Virginia yesterday calling for
the temporary adoption Of "faSt
time" for a 49-day period from
August 10 to September % was
generally approved by town and
county officials in Virginia, the As
sociated Press reported. The city
of Alexandria, through City Mana
ger Carl Budwesky, accepted the
Governors proposal. The City
Council will meet next week to dis
cuss the proclamation.
I'd. C. Heads Oppose Plan.
In Washington, however, the
Commissioners decided against
adoption of daylight saving time
unless both Maryland and Virginia
observe 1t. Commissioner Guy
Mason favored the change, but
Commissioners ]. Russell Young
and Charles w. Kutz were opposed
unless the adjacent States put it
in effect.
A. j. Bourbon, executive secretary
to Gov. O'Conor, indicated that most
Marylanders are satisfied with
standard time.
Meanwhile, it was said at the
White House, "the issue involves
Maryland, Virginia and the District
They are the ones to fight it out 4"
In Baltimore, Mayor Howard w
Jackson reminded observers that
city voters rejected daylight savings
time in the November referendum.
He added, however, that Baltimore
would follow if the rest of the State
went on the new time schedule.
Virginia, whose State Offices will
60 on saving time week from to-
morrow, was one of II Southeastern
States asked to alter their time to
conserve electric power.
Virginia A. F. L. Opposes Change.
The Virginia State Federation Of
Labor opposed the move in the
belief that it would be of no material
value to the defense program. o. C.
Moore, State A. F. L. president. said
at Norfolk that the federation failed
to see the worth of the proposal
and felt that it would be very con-
fusing. Mayors of Roanoke, Staun-
ton, Harrisonburg. Norfolk, Newport
News and Salem said they would
refer the request to their City Coun-
ellis for immediate action.

Commissioners on Tuesday. The pc.
tition was signed by LA, and pre-.
sented by James E. Matthews, Nor
man Toadvine, and two others, the
first two acting as spokesmen for
the petitioners. The petition presen-
ted was as follows:
''The undersigned, all residents and
property owners in the general neigh
borhood where it is proposed to locate
an airport which is county and fed
orally supported, hereby protest a.
gainst said airport for the following
reasons, among others: ~ There
are already other county sites more
suitable; (2) Such a project will i'm
pose a heavy and unwarranted tax
burden on our county which is al
ready too heavily bonded and taxed;
(3) The noise of planes coming off
and on the field will greatly injure
the poultry business which is an i'm
portant part of the business of the
residents of this section"
Mr.. Matthews stated, "The dpone
of heavy planes and the noise of their
motors would scare the chickens. The
proximity of an airport would greatly
lessen the value of already establish

called. attention to the value of chick
en- raising and egg production to the
