In Richmond the Virginia General Assembly moved to standardize clocks by passing a six month daylight saving time bill in a 61 to 26 vote, delaying emergency clause action and leaving eight counties and two cities on standard time. The measure aims for uniformity with neighboring states and would take effect by late June, applying to September and October. The House also backed a constitutional amendment for annual sessions and four year terms, while Senate action included a poll tax repeal study and referendums on voting law changes.

Two Senate Democrats Seek Independence From Johnson Viet Nam Policy
In Washington, Senators Fulbright of Arkansas and McGovern of South Dakota proposed measures to declare congressional independence from President Johnson’s Viet Nam policy. The moves aimed to amend a $415 million emergency foreign aid bill but were unlikely to pass. The Senate also debated Johnson’s $6 billion tax bill, with Long calling it irresponsible to fund the war and Williams pressing for timing before elections. Mansfield hopes a Senate vote on the tax package comes by Tuesday after House approval.
