LANSING, Jan. 10. - Ignoring
the warning of Detroit Mayor Ed
ward J. Jeffries Jr. that a change
in time will seriously disrupt the
nations war effort, the legislature
today speeded its plans TO turn
back the clocks one hetif. -- -
The House state affairs commit
tee lost no time in reporting the
SLOW" time bill to the floor last
night less than two hours after
hearing the mayors plea. 1t will
come up for general discussion to-
day and in all probability will be
passed and sent to the senate.
OF the nine members of the
house committee, only two voted
to kill the bill, Edward j. Walsh
and Stanley j. Dombrowski. both
Detroit Democrats. Maurice Z.
Post of Rockford is chairman.
SENATE TO SPEED BILL
Senator Earl w. Munshaw,
chairman of the upper chamber
state affairs committee, announced
he will call a meeting tomorrow
the moment the House has passed
the bill. This should place it on
Governor Kellys desk by the first
of next week.
Mayor Jeffries told members Of
the two committees that Detroit
residents disliked the fast" time
as much as the farmers.
| ITS not that we oppose the
slow time" he said.
From the standpoint of con-
venience, we would like II bet
ter ourselves. It's the change
to which we object.
CREATES CONFUSION
"a change In any direction
will create confusion. Coming L.
at this time when we are geared
for peak war production would
be disastrous.
at was just as confusing q
year ago when we made the
first change. But now that It's
here, let's leave IL. The time
itself Il not important to indus
try, but n change Will throw
production all out of killer"
Asked by Senator Munshaw II
Detroit intended to stay on the
present time n the legislature
passes the bill, Mayor Jeffries said:
mo. We will vote In our
turn. II you boys vote right, we
won't have to do anything. If
YOU vote wrong, i don't know
what well do.
"Since the time change went
into effect a year ago, we spent
eight months getting our Detroit
street railways schedules rear
ranged. This tremendous under
taking was being accomplished
while the number Of daily riders
rose from 100000 to 500, 900.
WAR INCONVENIENCE
"a change I'm time now would
upset our entire system of stag
gered working hours.
But we are willing to be In
convenieDced II 1t will help win
the war"
p. A. Revolt of the Detroit War
Production Board Office reminded
Legislators that the time question
was not rural-city issue.
This issue affects the welfare
OF the entire country and per-
haps the world,- he said. "War
plants are geared tightly TO rail-
road transportation. A delay In
production caused by read justing
time schedules may well cost us
countless lives of soldiers and
perhaps ultimate victory"
Councilman Henry Sweeny and
Tracy Doll, president of the De-
troit Go Council. also argued
against changing the time.
