Life Has Parallels Around The Clock
Daylight Saving Time goes into
effect Sunday, April 29. A lot of
people are going to be confused
for a while.
Here’s an easy way to keep
track of the time—an around-the
clock timetable worked out by the
Pacific Area Travel Association.
It’s 8 p.m. in Washington, D C.,
Detroit and New York. You’re
dining, dancing, or taking in a
quiet movie. Out on the West
Coast, you’re having a five o’clock
tennis game, or getting in some
much put-off gardening.
You’re enjoying a late day swim
in Phoenix, or cocktails in Den
ver. And if you’re in Paris or
Rome, you’re winding up a gay
night on the town.
In the Pacific, it’s tomorrow al
ready. Breakfast time in Singa
pore, Saigon and Djakarta. Ever
wonder what these people have
for breakfast? Fried rice or rice
cookies, with very black sweet
Russia Denounces
Former Practice of
Trial by Confession
MOSCOW bW—The standard So
viet practice of trial by confession
—which served Stalin so well in
erasing his foes—has been de
nounced in Russia s leading law
journal.
The magazine Soviet State and
Law labeled the procedure a
“glaring violation of . . . socialist
legality.” It roundly criticized the
laie Andrei Vishinsky, who pros
ecuted the famed purge trials of I
the 1930s at which many veteran
Bolsheviks were convicted on j
their own confessions and put to 1
death.
Vishinsky subsequently served |
as chief Soviet delegate to the i
United Nations, where his forensic i
blasts drew wide attention. After
his death in November 1954, Vish
insky received a hero’s funeral in
Red Square and his ashes were
buried in the Kremlin Hall—a top
honor.

Bangkok housewives have al
ready had their breakfast of rice
and shrimp curls and have been
out shopping since dawn, paddling
their sampans down the canals of
the Chao Phya River to bargain
with the floating markets selling
vegetables, fish and fruits.
In Perth, Western Australia, it’s
9 a.m., the office workers are just
signing in, and the early shoppers
queuing at Woolworth’s to get the
bargain specials. It’s 9 in Hong
Kong, Manila and Formosa too.
The Hong Kong free-port shops
are wide open for business—and
many a tailor is bleary-eyed,- hav
ing been up all night making a
suit for some hurry-up tourist.
In Manila, the daily cruise boat
is pulling out for Corregidor, and
up in the hills many Filipinos are
ankle - deep in the watery rice
fields.
It’s mid-morning in Tokyo. The
bosses are just coming to work,
and their secretaries have the tea
pot brewing. In Melbourne and
Sydney offices, it’s the same story,
and the Australian housewife,
who downs some 15 cups of tea
per day, is on her fourth round.
In New Zealand, it’s one o’clock
and Wellington office workers are
strolling on Lambton Quay watch
ing world ships unload.
In Suva, Java, it’s siesta time
after a typically tropical lunch of
hot shrimp in a coconut shell,
topped off by a fragrant fresh
pineapple.
In Tahitai, it’s three p.m. and
the people are fishing, or bathing
in a lagoon, or sipping a cool tall
drink under a rustling palm tree.
In Hawaii, they are finishing up
the day’s work so as to get out
and do the same. And up in Nome,
Alaska, it’s time out for the ump
teenth daily cup of coffee.
When you come right down to
the everyday happenings, it’s a
pretty small world after all. Just
remember to set that clock ahead
one hour!

ESC Tax Deterrent
To Alaska Industry
KETCHIKAN, UP) — The Terri
torial Employment Security tax
was described here Friday as an
important factor in discouraging
year around industries from es
tablishing in Alaska.
Prof. William J. Stanton of the
University of Colorado told the
Alaska Chamber of Commerce
convention delegates the law
should be rewritten. He said it
needs a provision for handling
seasonal industries and that can
ning and construction industries
could be declared seasonal.
Stanton conducted an economic
survey in Alaska for the Bureau
of Employment Security in 1954.
In Friday’s address the market
ing specialist listed factors which
he said could influence location
of year around industry in the
territory but emphasized the de
terring effect of the employment
security tax.
He said the situation is such
that two - thirds of the benefits
paid under the employment secur
ity law go to employes in seasonal
industries, while only one-third
of the contributions to the fund
come from those sources.
Stanton said Alaska’s employ
ment security tax is the highest,
in effect in the nation. He held
hopes for a reduction when sea
sonal industries are classified as
such under the tax.
