Distinguishing Issue
Up 10 Conferees;
House Passes Bill
Votes, 81 to 20, to Set
Clocks Ahead Hour
All Over u. s.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House and Senate were at
odds today on a daylight-saving-
time bill to conserve electricity for
war production.
The Senate last Wednesday passed
q measure permitting President
Roosevelt to advance clocks as much
as two hours whenever and wherever
he saw f1t. Yesterday the House
adopted by q vote of 81 to 20 q bill
to set clocks ahead one hour, all
over America, until six months after
the war, leaving the President no
discretion.
The bill passed the House after
. debate marked by slim attendance,
and q spirited discussion Of the
habits of animals and children, the
laws Of nature, and regulations
governing duck hunters.
House Committee Demurs.
Mr.. Roosevelt requested daylight
saving legislation last summer as a
means Of conserving electrical en-
ergy He suggested at that time q
bill similar to the Senate-approved
measure. but members Of the House
Interstate Commerce Committee
said such legislation would create
confusion and wrote the bill ac-
cepted by the House.
During yesterdays debate Repre-
sentative Wadsworth, Republican, Of
New York commented on "the
paucity of attendance" for debate
on bill affecting every one in the
country"
Representative Wadsworth opposed
the legislation on the ground it con-
tanned nothing "for the advantage
Of the country as q whole, particu-
larly with industry working on a
three-shift basis" The principal
effect he could see was that 1t would
cause fatigue for the farmers who
would be forced to rise an hour
earlier to get their produce to the
markets"
Compilations Seen.
A similar view was expressed by
Representative Andersen, Republi-
can, of Minnesota, who pointed out
also that the bill would cause COM
plications for duck hunters, whose
period Of actual shooting Is limited
by statute and is based on the sun.
Others commented that a farmers
working day Is regulated not by
the clock, but by the sun, the habits
Of farm animals and the time the
dew settles and disappears.
1T makes for a lot of confusion"
said Representative Clifford, Repub-
lican, Of Massachusetts,. The hab-
its of animals and little children
cannot be changed by changing the
clock"
you can't change the SUM-" COM
mented Representative Leland Ford,
Republican. Of California. This
bill doesn't save any daylight"

The possibility that the Chinese

Cinder Road Extension
In West Potomac Park
Urged as Traffic Relief
Trode Boord's Highway
Committee Calls for

Temporary extension Of the So
called Cinder road in West Potomac
Park to connect with Watergate

evening rush hour trafic In the
Lincoln Memorial Plaza was recon-
mended yesterday by the Board Of
Trades Highway Committee.
The committee voted to send
copies of q resolution urging the
extension to Capt. H. c. White
hurst, District director Of highways,
and Irving c. Root, superintendent
Of National Capital Parks.
Urged - Quick Remedy.
Richard Tatlow. Sd, who intro
duced the resolution, explained that
the Job would only be temporary,
as the extension Of Independence
avenue eventually will produce es-
sentially the same effect, but en-
phasi1ed that traffic was congested
to the point Of needing an immedi-
ate remedy.
He pointed out that trafic west

did not regard the original safe
guards sufncient. He and Senator
McCarran said parity levels should
be revamped to gear them to average
urban Industrial wages.
This would be accomplished, he
said, by making the Federal Re-
serve Boards periodic index Of In
dustrial wage levels q one-f1fth fac
tor In establishing parity. He ex-
planned that the 10 per cent increase
in parity" levels thus accomplished
would apply only ON price-fxing
orders and would not affect crop
loans and benefit payments.
Senator OMahoney explained
that his proposal would raise the
limit below which farm price CELL
ings could not apply by about 10
per cent above that recommended
by the Senate Banking Committee
and previously approved by the
House.
He asked that the present De-
partment Of Agriculture method for
computing farm parity prices be
given a weight Of 80 per cent and
the index Of wage levels q weight
OF 20 per cent. The Senator said
this would result in q new parity
level about 10 per cent above the
existing method.
Because the Senate bill prohibits
any farm price ceilings below 10
per cent Of parity, Senator Brown
said the OMahoney amendment
would bar any maximums on farm
prices until they reached about
121 per cent OF parity, and that's
too high"
Senator OMahoney said some
products would be held at relatively
high levels under the October / aver
age requirement in the bill, while
others might suffer.
"You see," he remarked, "the date
Of October l is bad for livestock,
but 1t is good for cotton"
After passage by the Senate, the
bill goes to the House, which passed
a mild version Of price control bill
IN November. Differences will be
adjusted in conference committee.

Feb. |, Society Is Told
Meeting Of Employees
Authorizes Survey Of
Housing Facilities

Patent Office units and personnel
transferred to Richmond under the
decentralization program will be-
gin moving to that city about Feb
ruary /. Assistant Commissioner
Oonder G. Henry told special meet
ing of the Patent Office Society late
yesterday.
Following q petition signed by 80
members Of the society, the Execu-
tive Committee at 2:15 yesterday
afternoon called a special meeting to
consider questions involved in the
transfer Of Patent Once person.
mel to Richmond The meeting, held
two hours later in the scientific
library, was attended by several
hundred employees OF the Patent
Office. c. w. Robinson, chief Of
Examing Division S, and president
Of the society, presided.
Housing Survey Ordered.
The society approved by a two-to-
one show Of hands q resolution pre-
sented by Norman E. Miller direc-
ting the Executive Committee to ap-
point a committee to make a survey
Of available housing in Richmond.
Prior to the adoption Of the Miller
resolution, Thomas E. Murphy. q
member Of the official Patent once
committee appointed to canvass the
housing situation in Richmond, said
that the work of the proposed COM
mittee would parallel that of his
group.
"The time has come when we can
no longer quibble about our personal
convenience" Mr. Henry told the
meeting. The purpose of the trans
fer ordered by the President. he
pointed out. was to provide more
space in Washington for defense
agencies.
I'VE are going to move about
February l." he said, adding that
the Patent Office will be the first
Federal agency that will be brought
back to Washington after the war.
Only part of the Patent Ofi1ce
will be transferred to Richmond,
and its headquarters will remain in
Washington, he said. He assured
workers transferred that the Rich
mond building was comfortable.
Vote Shows Protest.
Cant you examine applications
for patents in Richmond as well as
in Washington" he asked. The
question brought a sizable chorus
Of noes from Patent ONCE employees
present.
A resolution offered by Hugh E.
Riley precipitated a lively discussion.
The resolution declared that the
transfer of the Patent Office to
Richmond would be of no substan-
tial value as a war measure, and
asserted that a majority of Patent
Office employees strongly disapprove
the transfer and are not recon
ciled" to the move from Washington.
Commissioner Henry warned that
adoption of the resolution would put
the society in a position Of dis
loyalty to the President. Before the
| meeting adjourned, it directed that
this resolution be withdrawn.
