New Chance for DoyIiqht Time

The local daylight-Saving issue will have
another inning before the House District Com
mittee tomorrow. It was kicked around on
previous appearance. Some members of the
group are reported to have undergone change
OF heart since then, however. Daylight saving
deserves another chance for survival If con-
sidered strictly on its merits as purely local
n1eaSure-without irrelevant references to what
farmers think of fast time"-the proposal will
be given a new lease on life But Congress will
have to act quickly to meet next Sundays
deadline
OF three bills submitted without comment
to the full committee by its Judiciary Subcom-
mlttee, one is in far better position to meet the
deadline than the others. This is the Case bill,
already passed by the Senate, authorizing the
District Commissioners to proclaim daylight
saving each summer if similar action is taken
by two of these three cities: Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York The other bills-one to
give the President permanent authority to put
the District on daylight-saving schedule and
the other to vest this authority in the Com
miSSionerS but without conditions as to what
other cities may do-have little or no prospect
OF passage in the few days remaining.
So those who believe in letting Washington
settle the question of daylight saving without
congressional interference should concentrate
their efforts behind the Senate-approved bill,
despite its unwise conditions With the Senate
embroiled in tidelandS and other national prob
lens, the chance of further attention to the
Districts time problem is slim indeed Prompt
approval by the House District Committee of
the Senate bill and immediate passage by the
House offer the best hope Of satisfactory con-.
cluSion of the annual-and senSeless-local time
haSSle.

The Answer Is Far From Clear

In the So years since its establishment In
1901 there have been only five directors Of the
Bureau of Standards The first three Of these
were identified with the bureau since its
earliest days-Samuel w. Stratton, who served
from 1901 until he resigned in 1928 to become
president of NIT; his successor, George K.
Burgess, who died in office in 1892, and Lyman j.
Briggs, who retired in 1945.
Under their direction there was close
continuity of policy at the bureau and it was
these three men who perhaps contributed most
to establishing the bureaus great prestige as
a scientific institution, part of which is its
traditional separation from political consid-
erations.
When DR.. Briggs decided to retire in 1945
he suggested to the bureaus Committee of Visi-
ors-established by the law creating the bureau
and composed of eminent men of science-that
the committee should select group of qualified
scientists from whom the Secretary of Com
merce might choose new director. With the
approval OF former Secretary of Commerce
Henry Wallace, search was begun. Before its
conclusion, however members of the Committee
of Visitors were astonished to learn that the
President and Mr.. Wallace had selected Dr.
Edward U. Condor, without even notifying the
Committee of Visitors At least one member
of the committee called on Mr.. Wallace and
ance of the sort from the committee It's men,
bers felt they had been ungraciously, if not
inSultingly, ignored. DR.. Condor was the first
director brought in from the outside.
DR.. Allen V. AStin is another director who
spent many years in subordinate employment
at the bureau before his appointment as direc-
tor in 1851, an appointment recommended by
the Committee of Visitors. Had Secretary Weeks
or Undersecretary Sheaffer consulted the COM
mittee before embarking on their clumsy effort
to get rid of DR.. Astin, they might have spared
themselves the embarrassment of this scandal
GUS episode. But like Mr.. Wallace, they chose to
ignore the committee, until they had got them
selves in hot water.
Now that its advice has been belatedly
sought, the Committee of Visitors will play an
important role in bringing the whole incident
of the AStin dismissal to a successful and &C
ceptable conclusion. It's chief responsibility to
the world of science and to the lay public in
the opinion of The Star, is to make sure that
if policies at the Bureau of Standards are to be
changed-after investigation reveals the need
the, changes will be made without injury to the
bureaus fine tradition as scientific institution
free from political pressure in any form.
The immediate difficulty in achieving this
result is that Mr. Weeks has already announced
that regardless of the outcome of pending in
vestigationS, DR.. AStinS resignation will become
effective. That makes no more sense than
other statements made by Mr.. Weeks and Mr.
Sheaffer in connection with this affair The
Committee Of Visitors has its job cut out for it,
How it solves the problem will be the subject
of unusually watchful waiting.

Golf Hard on President?

Along with other Americans I am
concerned over the Presidents health.
While golf playing probably is not a
factor in the Presidents recurring ILL
nesses, the hot sun might be. It might
be wiser for the President to keep the

cruises, keep out of the hot sun and
eliminate all aimless sociability.

journalism" This conclusion is also open to
serious question. For when criticisms tend to
cancel themselves out it is hard to see how
the reputation of the press, as whole, can be
impugned. With all of its shortcomings, the
press as long as it criticized by both political
camps is doing reasonably fair job in the
political field.

Permanent DuYIiqht Saving

BY having daylight saving there is
greater safety because Of more day.
light. It is great for gardeners and
promotes better health. There are
many other worthwhile reasons for its
adoption.
Congress should make it the national
legal time for the entire United States.
Fast time was legally ordered by Con-
gress for World War I and again for
World War II, which is proof that
there is something of positive value to
be gained out Of daylight saving time.
Now is the time for Congress to pass
a permanent daylight saving time bill
for Washington.

A Bow to The Bard on His Birthday

Globe theater on the BankSide in 1895.
"At this period it reads. "the per-
fornances usually began at o'clock
in the afternoon: for the citizens
transacted their business and dined
early, and many of them afterwards
walked out into the fields for recrea-
ton. often visiting such theaters as
were open for their reception"
William Shakespeare was one Of the
16 shareholders in the Globe-another
one of the "facts." There was a Will
liam Shakespeare and his was the by
line on the original publication of the
plays. Those who cannot believe
that genius could flower in the son of
a man who could not sign his name,
may try to assign the plays to Bacon
or oxford. But there is evidence that
Shakespeare wrote them: only conjec-
ture that any aristocrat might have.
DrugStores now contain even better
bargains, paper back volumes of Shake
Speare for IS centS-"Four Great Trag-
edies," -Four Great Historical Plays"
etc. Instead Of the two-column format,
the lines run the full width of the page,
which allows for larger type and easier
reading. Any one can discover, or re-
discover, for himself why The Bard
is the greatest genius of western civil

Head Of Gambling
Placed Fined $500
In j, P. Court

Justice William Snodgrass OF
Marysville fined Junior Wenner, of
Bucyrus, the supposedly head man
of the gambling setup which was
recently raided by members of the
State Liquor Department, S400 and
costs, when he changed his plea to
guilty, of the charge of displaying
gambling devices at the Beacon
Beef Co. Plant. The hearing was
held Monday and Justice Snod-
grass also gave Wenner a 80 day
suspended Jail sentence and requir-
ed him to put up a $500 security
bond. In event he is ever found
guilty of a similar charge in the
county the bond will be forfeited
and the sentence imposed.
Eleven other men were fined by
the Justice after they were arrest
ed in the raid. The gambling place
had been running it was said in the
plant which is just outside of the
city limits for number of months
before the raid was imposed by
the state men. Sheriff Galloway
aided in the raid after he was ask
ed to do so by the state officials,
according to report given out by
one of the State officers. Residents
of Union County are still wonder
ing why the gambling place was
permitted to operate in the county
long after it was generally known
what was going on at the place of
business.
Gambling was permitted on a
large scale with most of the suck
efs" coming from other cities, it
was said, with one Columbus man
stating that he had lost SIS 900 in
the past eight months while fre-
quently visiting the gambling
place.
1t was further pointed out that
none of the men who were arrest
ed in connection with the raid were
anything more than hired help or
employees of big time gambling
promoters who owned and operat-
ed the place.
With the filming of Wenner it is
assumed that the case is closed and
it is doubtful if there will be any
further investigation into the
"whys and wherefores."

A-Spies Denied Stay;
Perl Gets Five Years
By the Assoejoted Press

NEW YORK, June 5.-The
United States Court of Appeals
today denied a stay of execution
to condemned atom spies julius
and Ethel Rosenberg, scheduled
to die in Sing Sing Prisons elec-
trio chair June 18.
Judge Thomas E. Swan told
Emanuel Bloch, counsel for the
Rosenbergs, that he might apply
for a stay before the United
States Supreme Court. The court
has refused three times to re-
view the case.
Mr.. Bloch said several days
ago he would appeal to Presi-
dent Eisenhower for clemency.
Gen. Eisenhower previously re-
fused such a request.
William Perl, former Columbia
University physics instructor
convicted of perjury in connec-
ton with the Rosenberg case,
was sentenced today to five years
in prison.
The 34-year-old jet propulsion
expert was accused of falsely
telling the Federal grand jury
that he did not know Julius Ros-
enberg and Morton Sobell. The
latter was sentenced to 80 years
for his part in the spy plot.
A mercy recommendation by
the jury that convicted Perl was
brushed aside by Federal Judge
Sylvester J. Ryan in pronounc-
ing sentence.

Mccarthy Asks Steps to Keep
Coe From Leaving u. S. Again
Ex-Monetoy Fund
Aide and Senutor
WroneIe at Hearing
By Cecil HoIIond

Senator Mccarthy, Repubh.
can, of Wisconsin today called
on the State Department "tC
close the borders" to Frank Coe
former $20.000-a-year secretary
of the International Monetary
Fund.
Senator Mccarthy, back from
an undisclosed secret trip that
carried him to Texas and other
places, made the suggestion dur
ing a public hearing of the Sem
ate Investigations subcommittee
looking into Mr.. Goes activity
as a Government official over
many years.
Senator Mccarthy asked a
State Department observer at
the hearing to call to the atten-
ton of proper officials that Mr..
Coe had recently spent two
months visiting in Canada, the
Caribbean and Mexico and
added:
II think he's a very dangerous
man."
The Mccarthy suggestion
climaXed a hearing marked by
heated exchanges between Mr..
Coe and the Wisconsin Repub-
lican. The 46-year-old former
official refused on dozens of
questions to say whether he was
Communist and whether as
secretary of the Monetary Fund
and in numerous positions with
