DAVID LAWRENCE ....
Confusion Over Nations Time

you would get UP in April
before daylight, and children
would have to 60 to bed be-
fore dark"
Although one Of the meas
ures before Congress would
delegate legislative power to
a Federal agency to fix the
time, a dispute is arising as
to whether, under the Con-
stituton, legislative power Of
this kind can really be dele
gated by Congress to any
agency whatsoever.
In Virginia, there are two
counties close to Washington
which prefer to be geared to
the District Of Columbia's
time. Government workers
commute back and forth
daily. When a three-month
period, for example. is put
in for the rest of the State
OF Virginia. while the coun-
ties near Washington have
a five month period Of day
light-saving time, this ar
rangement produces consid-
cradle confusion. Both the
National Airport and the
Dulles International Airport
are in the State of Virginia,
but the time used for arrival
and departure is the same
daylight time as New York
City's.
Undoubtedly, the pressure
for more and more daylight
saving time has grown in re-
cent years due to the desire
of people in certain sections
Of the country to have the
use Of more daylight in the
spring and summer months.
The farmers have for the
most part diSliked the plan.
The objection in Congress
is not to daylight-saving
time itself, but to the lack of
uniformity in the whole sys-
tenn. If Congress were to
legislate and adopt a formula
which applied uniformly
throughout the country, there
would not be any objection
to daylight-saving time, as
such. 1t is the length Of the
daylight-saving period and
the tendency OF States to
split into two zones which
are causing the difficulty.

The United States, If it can

CHARLES BARTLETT

Now hopeful Of restraining
its creeping initiation. the
United States can look upon
the labor troubles in Europe
with the mild complacency Of
a man who already has raised
his own children and is watch
ing a neighbor struggle with
young progeny.
Something more than COM
placency is felt, in fact, over
the intense concern in Bonn
and Paris with the problems
of rising labor demands-the
militant unions in France and
Germany actually are raising
the promise of considerable
benefits to the American econ
omy.
This European labor activity
is serious business. and it will
not end quickly. It's strength
derives from the shortage Of
workers which has derived, in
turn. from the dramatic ex-
pansion Of industrial Europe.
Its momentum derives from the
conviction of these workers
that they have been deprived
to date of a fair share Of the
new wealth being generated on
the continent. American trade
unionists always have felt that
European confreres we're long
on militant phrases and short
on action-they now preceive
that the hour Of action Is at
hand.
German workers have been
awarded 10 per cent wage in
creases for each Of the past
three years, but their average
hourly earnings still are about
one-third of the American
average. The German unions
refuse to be tied to the guide
line of productivity increases
in posing their demands. Their
position is simple: We did not

Notes
BY a Star staff Writer

LOS ANGELES, June "a. -
Don Lock and Chuck Cottier
took batting practice for over
an hour after the Senators beat
the Angels yesterday, with
Manager Gil Hodges standing
behind the batting cage and
prompting them on each pitch.
Hodges is particularly con-
cerned about the guessing
games played by Lock and Cot
tier-games which the opposing
pitcher usually wins. Hodges
can't understand the called
strikes that both have been
taking as their batting averages
dropped.
Cottier famed twice yester-
day. once on a called third
strike. Lock, who has been
benched for the last two games,
struck out as a pinch-hitter.
After Tom Cheney retired
Charley Dees for the final out
yesterday, Hodges walked half
way to the mound to greet
Cheney, applauding with each
step. Hobie Landrith is the
only sound catcher. Don Lep-
pert, who comes up with a new
injury at each stop, has q
bonespur in his right heel, and
Ken Retzer an aching left
wrist. Both will be X-rayed
today.
Bob Turley, who will pitch
against Claude Osteen in the
final game of the series to-
night, has won 100 games, ex-
actly one-fifth of them against
the old and new Senators.
Pete Burnside has come UP
with a new pitch, according to
Coach Sid Hudson, and used
1t effectively in 3 1/3 innings
of perfect relief pitching Sat-
urday night after the Angels
had taken a 30 lead. The
Senators leave Immediately
