GSA Proposes
WOrkday Shift
ToEase Traffic
Change Would Add
"a Hour to Lunch
For Most Workers
BY DAVID BRAATEN
Star staff Writer

The working day of some
235,000 Federal employees in
the Washington area would be
extended is minutes under a
staggered hours plan recon-
mended by the General Serv-
ices Administration to ease
traffic congestion during
morning and evening rush pc
RODS.
The is minutes would be
used to increase lunch periods
10 As minutes from the present,
almost universal half hour.
The recommended stagger-
ing would change starting
hours for some Federal EN-
ployes by as much as As min
htes, and quitting times by as
much as an hour. Many, how
Ever, would have their work
day changed only by the extra
rs minutes at either the start
or finish of the shift.
The recommendations are
Iconteined in a l51-page report
prepared by a GSA task force"
ht the request Of the Budget
Bureau. If the Budget Bureau
approves the suggested changes,
they could be put into effect
by presidential order.
No Immediate Action
Paul w. Foreman, who head
ed the GSA survey team, es-
timated that even after presi-
Dental approval it would
probably take five or six
months to put the plan into
effect. Public transportation
companies would have to be
given time to revise their sched-
ules, he explained, and Federal
employees would need some
time to work out personal
problems resulting from the
changed working hours.
The report stresses the need
for area wide adoption Of any
staggered-hours plan. Traffic
congestion in downtown WASH
ington cannot be resolved by
such a plan unless all agencies
are included, the report said.
IT recommended that some
Government agency be given
the responsibility for handling
the staggered-hours system on
a permanent basis-and the
authority for enforcing the
plan.
At present. although a stag
gered-hours plan was insti-
tuted in 194l. there has been
no real overall control and
agency heads have set working
hours pretty much on their
own responsibility, with Budget
Bureau approval.
The recommendation that
lunch periods be extended 70
as minutes was actually a by
product of the investigation OF
traffic congestion. Obviously,
the morning and evening
rllshes of Federal employees
could be manipulated just as
easily with a 30-minute lunch
break as with a 45-minute one

EArrested
In Jackson
NAACP Official
Released on Bond
After Picketing

JACKSON, Miss, June
(AP)-A national Negro leader,
Roy wilkins, was arrested on
a felony charge today in the
5-day-old drive to crack this
city's rigid racial barriers.
Police seized the 61-year-old
executive secretary Of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People as
he picketed in front Of a down.
stown store.
After his release on $1,000
bond, Mr.. Wilkins said demon
STATIONS in Jackson "have just
started" and could continue
for two years.
A few hours after Mr.. VIII
kins' arrest police swooped
down on a Negro mass march
and arrested SO demonstrators.
The arrests made a total Of
$40 since Tuesday.
Gov. Ross Barnett offered
the city the use Of State prison
facilities to house 800 Negroes.
The sidewalk march, with
about 100 Negroes walking in
pairs, started from NAACP
headquarters.
March Is Blocked
Police blocked the march
with a line of officers, forcing
the marchers to swerve into a
side street. Motorcycle officers
then blocked off both ends Of
the side street and began load
ing the remaining Negroes
about 40 Of them-into trucks
for the trip to a special deten-
ton center.
Less than an hour later, in
a move to ease the rising ten
sion, Mayor Allen Thompson
and the city commission agreed
to three Of the eight Negro de-
mands.
The agreements: Cd To hire
Negro policemen for patrolling
Negro sections; CD the hiring
of Negro school crossing guards
for Negro schools: CD an up
grading Of Negro city employees.
Key Proposal Rejected
The Mayor fatty rejected a
key proposal-that the city join
in forming a biracial committee
to work toward easing racial
problems.
However Mayor Thompson
said there would be further ne
gotiationS on some of the de-
mands. AS for school desegre-

abide by court decisions IN

percent Of our income is spent
for food, while in Russia fifty
four percent goes for food.
The annual gross income from
agriculture in Delaware is from
110-120 million, and this busi-
ness Of agriculture accounts for
forty-three percent Of all en-
ployees in our state.
Our State Board Of Agricul-
ture has not been able to keep
abreast with the increasing de-
mands for new services be-
cause Of the lack Of equipment
and personnel. Our laboratories
are crowded into small rooms
in two old buildings not built
for what they are being used for,
and there is no room for ex-
pansion.
The buildings and equipment
have been inspected by the State
Planning Council, the State
Farm Bureau and the State
Grange officials and they all
agree that, II the State Board
of Agriculture is to meet the
increasing demands upon it, it
is imperative that the Legisla-
ture make provision for a new
building with modern equipment.
There is no room in the
labor atorieS for much needed
modern equipment, and, when
we realize that there has been
no major change for the past
twenty-five years, it is no Won
der that the need has outgrown
the building and equipment. A
few statistics will illustrate this
need.
The agricultural annual gross
income 25 years ago (1938) was
$22, $4,000. In 1862 it was
$109, ,459, 900. The cost Of
operating the State Board of
Agriculture 25 years ago was
$129, $50, or ST Of 10 of the an
nual gross income. Last year
the operating cost was $243,-
954.00, or .22 Of 10 Of the an
nual gross agricultural income.
Compared with other states,
Delaware ranks 47th in the per-
centage Of gross agricultural in
come spent in promoting the
biggest business in the state.
Eighty percent of the budget of
the State Board of Agriculture
is spent for consumer pro-
lection.
