Day's Sews
By FRANK. JENKINS
The news today?
You may be surprised.
The federal government is con
sidering the idea of taking over
the problem of Daylight Saving
Time.
Three bills to that effect are
now before the Senate commerce
committee. One of them is by
Senator Warren Magnuson. of our
neighboring state of Washington.
Another is by Senator Norris Cot
ton, of New Hampshire. The third
is by Senator A. Willis Robert
son, of Virginia.
Senator Magnuson and Senator
Robertson are Democrats. Sena
tor Cotton is a Republican. So.
you see, the idea that the federal
government should take over the
Daylight Saving Time mess is
getting so popular that neither
party wants the other party to
get the credit for bringing it
about.
That's the politics of it.
senator Magnuson s bill pro
vides for a federal agency to es
tablish, after hearings, Daylight
Saving Time within zones. It
would set the change-over dates
as tlie last Sunday in April and
the last Sunday in October.
Senator Magnuson's bill is of
fered at tlie request of the Inter
state Commerce Commission
which, one suspects, may be be
ginning to wonder how the heck
interstate commerce can be car
ried on at all if (as seems not
improbable at the moment I every
state in the Union and maybe
every town and every county
has a different kind of time.
Question:
Just what is a DAY?
Again you may be surprised
There are DIFFERENT KINDS
of days.
The period between the lime
when the sun moves across the
great circle in the sky which ex
tends north and south through a
point DIRECTLY OVER US, is
called the "apparent solar day."
More complications:
This "apparent solar day is
not always the same in its length.
because the motion of the earth
varies in its orbit, or path around
the sun. Therefore scientists have
developed a unit of time which is
intended to be always the same in
length.
That unit has been adopted as
the standard for the measure
ment of time, and is called tlie
"mean solar day." It is as long
as the average "apparent solar
day" in 1900.
And- ,
At one time
The mean solar day was con
sidered to begin at noon. The
civil day used for measuring the
day for calendar purposes began
at midnight. But in 1925. the use
of a solar day beginning at noon
was abolished by international
agreement among astronomers.
Day is now considered to begin
at midnight This day and night
business, you see. Is a complicat
ed affair. It's little wonder that
we get all snarled up when we
tart trying to make changes in
the way we handle day and night.

COMMUNISTS SHOW POWER Italian Communist
leader Palmiro Togliatti, top, appeared to be the big
winner and Premier Amintore Fanfani, bottom, seemed
the big loser as returns in Italy's crucial general elections
indicated the Communists had picked up one out of
every four votes. Fanfani's government was threatened
by the balloting and a possible five years of political
instability for the country was predicted by experts. Both
men are shown as they cast their ballots.

Italian Commies
Gain Mew Power
ROME (UPD The powerful
Communist party polled one out
of every four votes in Italy's cru
cial national elections and today
served notice that this country
should chart a "new political
course."
Communist party leader Palmiro
Togliatti, in a post-election state
ment, indicated that the Reds
would pull the political rug out
from under Christian Democratic
Premier Amintore Fanfani and
his center-left government.
The Communists have recorded
a gain in every Italian election,
and the 23.7 per cent they picked
up in the latest parliamentary vot
ing Sunday and Monday carried
them to a new high.
Togliatti promptlv used the gain
as a lever to hint that five years
of political instability possibly lie
ahead for the country, because
even though the Christian Demo
crats emerged as the largest sin
gle party their total was, not
enough to permit them to govern
alone.
The Red boss hinted that his'
party's victory should bring the
Socialists back to the Communist
fold. The Socialists headed by Pet
ro Xenni have been supporting
Fanfani's coalition regime.
Togliatti hinted that the Com
munists and Socialists, who be-
tween them could carry nearly 40
per cent of the Vules in Parlia

"It seems to me certain that a
new political course has been
opened in Italy," Togliatti said,
"in which tlie initiative of our
party and of left-wing democratic
fores if united could have a de
cisive part."
His statement added that our
party has obtained a great vic
tory." Togliatti's words carried the
Ihrcat of political instability for
this NATO member nation. If the
Communists and Socialists team
up, as they did in the "people's
Front" in 1948, they could cause
endless trouble in parliament.
With five-sixths of the vote
counted, tlie Christian Democrats
polled 37.2 per cent of the vote,
down from their 1938 figure of 42 41
per cent.
At this point, the Socialists also
were running behind their 19j8
figures. They polled 13.8 per cent
of the vote this time, compared
with 14 2 per cent in 1938.
The Neo-Fascists went up to 5 8
per cent from 4.8 per cent. Social
Democrats 8 per cent from 4 3

from 3.5 per cent, while the Mon
archists dropped to 18 per cent
from 4.8 per cent five years ago.

elections, while all others fell from
a total of 1.7 per cent five years
ago to 1 4 per cent at present.

Draws Criticism
SALEM (UPD Vigorous opposi-
tion to the House-approved modi
fied net receipts-graduated income
tax proposal was expressed Mon
day before the Senate Taxation
Committee.
The opposition came from tlie
Portland Chamber of Commerce,
Associated Oregon Industries, the
AFL-CIO, Oregon Tax Research,
and a private tax attorney.
After almost two hours of oppo

"Maybe we should invite Mr. Ey

Rep. Richard Eymann, D-Mar

Ifoposal to raise an additional $35
million a bienmum.
Main opposition was to the net
receipts feature, and the elimina

duction.
While the Senate committee
made no comment, it seemed like
ly the Senate would strip the net
receipts feature, restore deduc
tions for federal income taxes, ad
just the rates, and then send it
to the floor.
If the Senate ww lo pass such
a bill, it would then have to go
to a conference committee.
Rate 'Too High"
Richard Brown and Robert Hall
of the Portland Chamber of Com
merce argued the House bill's
rate structure was too high, and
said a proposed $22 lax credit
would not expand the lax base.
Hall said the major share of
the state's income taxes now were
paid by 25 per cent of the taxpay
ers, and that the House measure
would increase their tax burden.
"You can't expect 25 per cent

The chamlicr proposes a 2'4 per

organized labor opposed the House

labor favored eliminating the fed
