Washington 70 Regain
Hour Sleep Sunday
When Clocks Go Back

Return Of standard time to the
District area at 2 am. next Sunday
will find public buildings officials
ready for the official turn-back of
clocks and also will mark a renewal
of the fight to have daylight time
for Washington again next summer.
Washingtonians will get back the
hour of sleep they lost last April
when daylight time went into ef-
feet here following a congressional
controversy and hearings before the
Commissioners.
Senator .McGrath, Democrat, of
Rhode Island announced today he
will ask Congress to make daylight
time regular affair in the District.
Will Offer New Bill.
He plans to introduce bill as
soon as Congress reconvenes.. He
sponsored the measure which, in
amended form, brought daylight
time here last April. That bill ap-
piled only to the peroid from April
27 to September s2s, this year.
Public Buildings Administration
officials said they look for nothing
unusual in turning back the clocks
in the old Post Office tower at Elev-
enth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV. This probably will be
done early Saturday because it may
require more work than will be
necessary on similar clocks else
where.
Railroad time tables will be
adjusted, principally on intercity
and local trains, in areas where day
light time has been observed, the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad announced.
Revised schedules will be issued later
this week, the company said.
Other Changes Planned.
The Pennsylvania also announced
several through-train schedule
changes beginning Sunday. The
Red Arrow from Detroit will arrive
in Washington at $3.50 am, 20 min
utes later than heretofore.
The return of standard time to the
District also will affect Prince
Georges and Montgomery Counties
which have been observing daylight
time since last April. Virginia has
continued on standard time officially
but the Metropolitan area has been
conforming to Washington's sche-
dule.
Another move that may be made
when daylight time bows out next
Sunday is the probable removal OF
a sign that Senator Overton, Demo
crat, of Louisiana, hung in his Office
last April. He opposed the Nc.
Grath bill for daylight time here
and put up the sign: This Office
operates on standard time only"
