PAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON FRIDAY. OCTOBER 27, 1950 Wilson Urges 45-Hour Week For Industry Chicago, Oct. 27 ilP President C. E, Wilson of General Motors corporation Thursday propose a 45-hour week and a pay-as-you-go policy as the only way the nation can produce "both guns and but ter" while combatting inflation. Wilson said manpower will be the biggest shortage In the na tion's new rearmament program. Demands of the armed services for men and the difficulty of mass-producing war . materials will soon make the shortage ap parent, he told members of the American Society for Metals in session here. ; Efficiency Necessary i The only way we can have this big military program and at fie Same time have an ample supply of consumer goods is to work more efficiently," Wilson said. "Since efficiency cannot be im proved suddenly, we must work somewhat longer hours in the meanwhile. '! "Temporarily," Wilson said, "We should increase the average work week to as much as 45 hours in order not to decrease te amount of consumer goods avail able and at the same time produce necessary military .goods." The 40-hour work week could be restored later, he said. The fed eral wage and hour act now pro vides a work week of 40 hours, .with excess time to be paid at time and one-half. Wilson termed his proposal "the only way to avoid more inflation and at the same time have both guns and butter." . . . - : IMMJ LIKES JAZZ J Frankford, W. Va.

' Daylight Saving Time Set For Decision by Electorate Salbm. Oct. 27 UP There used to be a song kicking around: "When It's Springtime in Ger many It's Wednesday Over Here." A lot of lads and lassies around Oregon especially in the rural areas feel that daylight saving time Is just as confusing and makes Just about as much sense. Farmers particularly object to fast time because the chickens and the cows and the crops won't co-operate. They stay on stan dard, no matter what for. So when the trading centers take to fast time, farmers are apt to find the stores closed when they get to town. . : And; they have a harder time getting extra farm hands from the cities when harvest itme rolls around, because picking can't start until the - dew's off the ground, and the crews arrive too early, and just idle around for awhile. ' On the other hand, the "city slickers," as opponents of fast time like to call everybody In an incorporated community, enjoy getting through work an hour ear lier during the summer months so they can tend to their garden ing and other work, such as golf. ' Legislature Acted In the belief that time should be standard on a state-wide basis at all times whether the clock gets shoved up an hour or not the 1949 legislature passed an act specifying that Oregon should re main on standard time. And the clocks should be moved no more than an hour either way only in event fast time is in force in the states bordering Oregon read ing clockwise, Washington, Ida ho, Nevada and California. In event DT prevails in those four bordering states, then it's mandatory on the governor to de clare Oregon in on the deal.. The law reads that if the clock moves up an hour in neighboring com monwealths, then "the governor shall by proclamation published 25,000 OREGON JOBS IN DANGER! . Vote against the measure that implies restric tions on alcoholic beverage advertising only! Because this measure would conflict with federal ' laws, it would mean total proh ibition. Tho efifetf, therefore, would be compfefo . prohibition of brand of alcoholic beverages in Oregon and 25,000 Oregon people would be unemployed! throughout the state vai"v stun. dard Oregon time as herein estab- nsnea by not more than one hour . . ." Authorities are agreed that when the word "shall" is used, It's mandatory. nut note tnat the time would still be standard Oregon stan dard time regardless of what the clock Is doing with Its hands. Even the title reads: "Providing Uniform Standard Time in Ore gon." The daylight would be knocked out of the term "daylight time." Interpretation Vary Oldtime capitol observers who can grope their way through some of the darkest legislative passag es can't get together on a stan dard interpretation of the stan dard time statute. One school of thought is that all four border ing states must be on fast time before Oregon standard moves up an hour. Others say the act leaves It up to the governor to de termine whether "the economy and general welfare of this state are placed at material disadvan tage by lack of uniformity be tween standard Oregon time'' and the time in general use in border ing states. But the up-to-the-minute view is that the law has no "teeth" (or should we say "hands"?) in it. There's no penalty clause. And the prevailing view here Seems to be that even if the law, which was challenged by a group from Portland who got up enough petitions to refer the measure to the people Nov. 7, is approved by the voters, there's nothing to prevent any city or other commu nity from deciding to uplift the faces of its clocks. Portland or Pacific City; La Grande or Grande Ronde; Salem or Sodaville, could decide to go contrariwise and adopt fast time even when It was not state-wide standard, and about the only ef fect of the state law would be that state offices and other legal offices In the fast time towns would still have to adhere to the time as the sun Sees it. If you favor the standard time act, vote 310 X yes. ; - If you oppose the measure, vote oxx a no. f ' , . Californian Sees 'Extinct' Fur Seal: ''.' Los Angeles 'U' A Guadalupe fur seal, member of a species which had been believed exterm inated by over-enthusiastic hunt ers bu years ago, nas Deen signrea frolicking in a herd of sea lions. A University of California at Los Angeles assistant professor, George A. Bartholomew, said he observed a lone male Guadalupe fur seal five and a half feet long wpiphlnlr Hhnut 300 nnllnHn -His find was made on San Nicholas Island, nearly 400 miles north of tne animals original nome. Dr. Bartholomew said he saw this seal or another of the sup. posed extinct species on three different hips to the island off southern uaiitorma He said he believed there might be an undiscovered breeding ground used by the seals in south ern California or Mexican waters. "The alternative to such an as sumption is that the animal seen on San Nicholas is the lone sur vivor of the herd on Guadalupe," he said. . . .
