House Commerce Committee aims to place a uniform six month fast time with last Sunday in April to last Sunday in October, potentially overriding state laws. Industry groups push for fewer schedule revisions and nationwide consistency. The proposal could affect 36 states that observed daylight time last year, with mixed local options under Senate plans.

Legislature Praised By Governor Hoff
Gov. Philip Hoff says the 1966 Legislature has done a very good job to date despite rejections of his measures. He warns time is running out before the March 12 adjournment and notes plans by Vermont electric cooperatives to form a nonprofit to take over his power project. Hoff criticizes the Legislative Council as a possible garbage pail while lamenting the Senate’s rejection of a labor relations bill and the House's death of the fair housing bill. He also comments on a state lottery, federal aid for New England, and upper New York exclusion from regional treatment.

The decision bars unions from forcing rehiring of 22,500 laid off workers and directs pursuit of Railway Labor Act procedures. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen involvement is noted, with spokesman Ed Gilbert promising action to seek clarification.
