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."

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 ' , .
