winter as well as the summer Congress recently passed a winter DST law for the nation as a means of conserving energy but said states could seek an exemption if they could prove the switch would cause undue hardship The fact is after an extensive review of the situation we have teen unable to substantiate undue statewide hardship or an energy savings on standard the governor said I will therefore not seek an exemption Milliken referred in his statement to the problem DST will bring to school children who will have to leave for school in the predawn darkness Congress specifically recognized that state and local ties for the most part would have to deal with the school children Milliken said In Michigan the school attendance problems can be and arc being solved with a slight adjustment in hours by individual local school Milliken said The governor said estimates indicate Michigan will have a sizeable energy savings under DST Detroit Edison for example estimates a savings of 50 million kilowatt hours of annually coming at peak hours and a saving of 2 million gallons of oil and tons of coal Milliken said exempting the state would put residents out of step with the rest of the nation

than a year ago to put the state on DST during the warmer months Until that time Michigan was on the same lime as New York for six months and with Chicago the rest of the year The act by Congress effectively puts Michigan on DST around Milliken made his decision Thursday night after lengthy talks with aides All but two states Indiana and Hawaii apparently will set their clocks ahead one hour

daylight time and the state was excluded from the new Hawaii was exempted because of its location near the Equator where is little seasonal variation in the number of daylight hours Under the legislation President Nixon or his designated can exempt any state from daylight lime if the state's governor can show the time change would work undue hardship of lhat remaining on standard time
