HOURS
/ Longer Lunchtime
Is Called Realistic

lying agencies. So out Of the
total of some 255,00O Federal
employees in the Washington
area, about 235,000 would have
their lunch periods-and thus
their work days-extended by
Is minutes.
Although the traffic prob
lem that underlies the stag
gered- hours plan exists only in
the downtown core" area
bounded roughly by p street,
Massachusetts, avenue, North
and South Capitol streets and
the Potomac River in North
west Washington-the working
hours of those agencies outside
the area also would be revised
under the GSA recommended
tons.
Some Of the major changes
In working hours recommended
by the GSA team include the
following:
Commerce Department, all
employees. from S:SO-5:00 to
.8:00-4:45.
State Department, 1913 of
zoos employees, from 8:45-5:30
to 9:15-6:00.
Labor Department, 2,342 of
3,474 employees, from S:15-4:45
to 9:00-5:45.
Government Printing Office,
all 4,036 employees, from 500
4:30 to 7:30-4:l5.
United States Information
Agency, all 1883 employees
from S:45-5:30 to 9:l5-6'00.
Civil Service Commission, all
2,057 employees, from s:45-5:l5
to 8:15-5:00.
other large groups would
have only l5-minute changes,
as in the Defense Department,

than the morning rush-would
be eased considerably. The pres
ent peak, at $50 pm, has 49,
DAT vehicles leaving the down.
town area, with 1894 of them
Government employees cars.
Under the recommended
plan, the greatest number OF
Government employe cars leav-
ing downtown in any l5-min-
ute period would be 5,218 at
4:45 pm. This redistribution of
homebound Federal workers
would in turn keep the evening
rush peak down to an esti-
mated 1926 around 5 o'clock.
GSA Expects Opposition
Mr.. Foreman, the GSA group
chairman, said he fully ex-
pected opposition to the new
staggered-hours plan, from
both agencies and employees.
Last August, all 43 Federal
agencies In downtown Wash
ington were surveyed-at man.

whose 13,485 employees would
report for work at 7:45 instead
Of 8 o'clock, still getting off at
1850, and the District govern
ment's $500 employees, who
would come to work at 8:15 as
at present, but would stay IS
minutes later, until 5 pm.
Earlier Hour for Defense
The GSA recommendations
on hours we're worked out after
detailed study of traffic pat
terms by the District Depart
ment of Highways and Traffic.
The flow of public and private
vehicles into and out of the
various zones of downtown
Washington was observed dur
ing June, 1861, and again in
August, 1862, with vehicle
counts taken during the morn
ing and evening rush hours.
Rush Peaks Correlated
In addition, information on
working hours and committing
times was compiled for the
1919 900 downtown Federal en-
ployes.
From these figures, rush.
period peaks were correlated
with Cover e mt working
hours. The GSA team then
treid to chip away at the high
est peaks by shuffling the work
hours of agencies within the
various zones.
If the staggered-hours plan
works out the way the GSA
team figured it, the evening
rush period - always worse
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-06-02

Of every 80 employees shows up
one to two hours before his
work day begins.
The reasons for the early
bird habits vary, GSA found:
The search for on-street park
ing space, car pools with diff
fering work schedules, a desire
to have time for breakfast or
newspaper reading, and "a
large number who voluntarily
start the work day 80 minutes
to an hour before they are
scheduled to do So"
Trip Home Takes Longer
At the other end of the work
day, the GSA team unearthed
some fascinating figures on
homeward travel time. While
there are only 10,010 Federal
employees who take an hour or
more to get to work in the
morning, there are 23,605 (19
per cent Of the totaD who
take an hour or more to get
home at night.
THE '60-plus minutes" out
1.-THE 60-plus minutes" out
many employees remain in
Washington to shop or for
social activities" the GSA re-
port comments.
The GSA team also dis
covered that, whereas 105,890
of $4,000 employees leave the
office within Is minutes after
quitting time, 1900 stay Is to
80 minutes late and $500 stay
anywhere from 30 minutes to
two hours after the office
closes.
Many Of these are doing paid
overtime, the report said; many
are forced to wait for their
car pools, and many are watt
ing for homebound traffic to
ease up. But many. GSA re-
ports, are voluntarily contribu-
ting overtime.

GSA's solution to the evening rush-periOd
peak is to feed Federal employees into the
hOmeward stream more evenly over a two
hour period, as shown in this graph.

Secretary of Agriculture Free
man has been asked to raise
from SO to IA the number of
Virginia counties declared dis

summer-long drought.
In a letter to Mr.. Freeman
yesterday, Gov. Harrison urged
that the eastern Virginia coun-

Gov. Harrison wrote that the
five counties in question need
the opportunity to participate

placed In the soil bank.
The Governor, acting on the
recommendation OF the State

CHICAGO, Aug. 16. - The
American Bar Associations
House of Delegates, its top pol

ceptive packaging and labelling
methods.
The house yesterday APP

said present laws are adequate

The resolution dealt with
Senate bill 378, which was in
troduced in June by Senator
Hart, Democrat of Michigan.
Its purpose, the ABA said, is to
prohibit restraint of trade
through use of unfair labelling
techniques.
The ABA's house of delegates,
in its resolution, said the leg
islation would delegate arbi-
tary administrative power to
issue regulations without ade-
quate standards which will I'M

ABA Awards
Gold Medal
ToFrankfurter
BY DANA BULLEN
Star Staff Writer

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Justice
Felix Frankfurter was awarded
the highest honor of the Amer
lean Bar Association-its Gold
Medal - at the ABA annual
banquet here last night.
Justice Frankfurter was pre-
vented by health reasons from
attending. He retired from the
Supreme Court last August
after serving on 1t since 1872"
1t was said that he held the
scholars seat" on the court.
In a message from the JUS
tice read at the banquet, he
said that throughout all his
years he tried Ito share in the
work of preserving the aspira-
ton of lawyers to learning"
Justice Frankfurter, b fore
he was named to the high
court by President Roosevelt,
was renowned professor Of
law at Harvard. His impact on
the law, through opinions,
teaching and friendships, has
been immense.
Awarding Of the Gold Medal
came as one of the final events
of the ABA convention here.
which has been marked by &C.
ton on the racial issue, reap
portionment and a host Of
other legal matters.
Generally, the stance Of the
ABA at its eighty-sixth annual
meeting has been more liberal
than on some earlier occa-
sions. This has been credited
to an increased role by some
what younger men and the
force of the times.
The award to Justice Frank
furter, 80, was made for his
conspicuous service to the
cause of American juriSpru-
dence."
Awards also were presented
newspapers and other media
for contributions to public un-
derstanding Of the American
system of law and justice. The
Washington Post received an
award for distinguished inter-
pretive reporting by James E.
Clayton of United States Su-
preme Court decisions.

East didn't like the look of

Instead, East returned his sin

East needed his partners

He should have continued with

How could East tell what was

East was looking so hard at
