amended notice that the regula
tion applies only on week-ends.

Harry Bridges
Surrenders
San Francisco, May 28 W)
CIO Longshore Leader Harry
Bridges surrendered In federal
court today on an indictment
charging perjury and fraud in
connection with his naturaliza
tion in 1945.
Judge Louis Goodman turn
ed down a government motion
that bail be Increased to $20,000.
Francis Joseph Bonohue, spe
cial assistant to the U.S. attor
ney general, said Attorney Gen
eral Tom Clark himseil had
asked the higher bail in view of
the case of Gerhart Eisler, who
jumped $23,300 bail in New
York. Eisler was free on bail
pending appeal following his
conviction of perjury.
Bail for Bridges was left at
$5000. Two of his aides, also in
dicted, already have surrender
ed and posted bail in that
amount.
The judge also denied a mo
tion by B r 1 d g es' attorney,
George Andersen, that the pre
sident of the International Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's
union chief be released on his
own recognizance without bail.
Andersen pleaded that Brid
ges is a responsible citizen, has
never failed to put in a court ap
pearance, and flew here direct
ly from New York instead of
to some other country.
The attorney said also he felt
that bringing in the Eisler case
had no relevancy here.

Standard and Daylight Time

'To be or not to be, that is the question" in the controversy
over daylight saving time DST
this spring. ;
Clock-setting of this type sure
ly is quite beneficial to city
workers who are penned in of
fices during the day. Equally,
it is a distinct inconvenience to
many in rural districts.
But in the same environment
tastes differ. All city residents
do not want DST, nor all country
people prefer standard time.
The vote in Portland, Oregon,
last November on DST showed
about 71,136 for and 67,480
against.
For two reasons the present
writer prefers standard time, but
he freely admits that the first is
based solely on personal selfish
ness. For several weeks around
the season of the longest day:
and then of all times the night
sky is apt to be the clearest
when it finally becomes dark
enough for successful telescopic
peering Into the wide, blue "out
yonder," it is already closing
down time by DST for all stu
dents and guests unaccustomed
to late hours.
The second reason has to do
with pride in a great system
which brought order out of
chaos late last century by the
adoption of standard time zones
over the civilized world. This
splendid innovation came
through the railroads, which
found confusion of time . most
disconcerting. All of the United
States is thus enabled to be in
four time zones.
Certainly incorrect Is the be
lief held by some that standard
time is "God's time" and DST
is otherwise. The human ele
ment enters largely in all our

God's time" means the instant
when in our latitudes old Sol is
due south, then only they who
use sun dials are in divine favor.
Even in a city like Denver,
which is almost astride the 105th
meridian, and where local sun
time and standard time are often
thought to coincide in this center
of the mountain standard time
belt, one seldom finds a sun dial
and a well-regulated clock
agreeing. Since the earth moves
faster on its orbit when nearest
the sun than at any other time,
our sun days from noon to noon
vary. Our clocks are regulated
to keep mean (average) solar
time throughout a year, other
wise most intricate and expen

used. Cumulative effects, the
equation of time in astronomical
almanacs, cause clocks at Den
