who let their children patronize
what he called "disruptable places"
as was the case in which Dolores
Kitchen, %, of 100 Green st.. was
given a six months sentence for
buying drinks over a bar for four
juvenile girls. The parents of these
girls were severity lectured by the
Court for allowing their children
to visit such places and told the
parents cit was their responsible
ty" to their children to see to it
that such practice would not be
tolerated by the Court and in the
future, the parents would be held
for failure to prevent their child
rem from being a patron of bars
or such places where juvenile de-
linquecy was practiced. One of the
mothers told the Court she permit
ted her daughter to visit the Blue
Ridge Club, of 1917 E. Fifth ST.,
because the girls friends were al
lowed to go there.

Klein 10 Press Bill
For Permanent D. {.
Daylight Saving Time

Representative Klein, Democrat
of New York, today served notice
he will press for enactment OF a
permanent daylight saving law
for the District or as minimum,
daylight saving for next year.
IF the permanent bill cannot
be passed in the next session, I
strongly urge that we at least
save daylight in 1850 on tempo
rary basis until we can begin to
save it permanently" Mr.. Klein
said in a statement.
In this great age Of atoms and
of economy, 1t is almost criminal
to waste the taxpayers money,
and the Congressmen's health, by
the fruitless expense and effort
of enacting yearly daylight saving
legislation" he added.
Mr.. Klein, author of both
permanent and 1850 daylight saw
ing legislation, declared:
"It has been repeatedly dem
onstrated that the vast majority
Of residents of the capital are in
favor of daylight saving: children
have an extra hour of play in
the warm, healthful, Washington
summer sun; adults are able to
get home from work while 1t is
still light; and Congressman, too,
have an extra hour of daylight in
which to conduct the Nations
business
The New York legislator recalled
his measure for permanent day.
light saving would empower the
District Commissioners to "insti-
tute daylight saving time without
any further legislation, between
the last Sunday in April and the
last Sunday in September OF each
year."
Mr.. Klein declared the time Of
Congress is needlessly taken up
with considering daylight saving
on an annual basis.
