Rotating Clock In Operation In Jan.
A giant rotating clock, designed to provide accurate time for air as well as surface travelers, has been placed in operation atop a building, Wilshire Blvd. and Western Avenue. The clock, reportedly, is the only one of its kind in the world.
More than 170 feet above ground, the mammoth time-piece (actually two clocks back to back) rotates continuously day and night, providing time checks for hundreds of thousands of motorists, incoming and outgoing air passengers, and numberless pedestrians within its radius of visibility.
According to officials of the Electrical Products Corporation of Los Angeles, which designed, manufactured and installed the rotating clock, it is the only one of its kind in the world and the largest clock on the west coast.
The clock is 27 feet long and 14 feet high, with illuminated numerals 8 feet tall.
The tower-top clock is synchronized with a master timepiece located in the lobby of the Franklin Life building. This master unit, in turn, is synchronized with radio time signals transmitted with an accuracy of one part in one hundred million by the bureau of standards at Washington, D.C.

Parking Lights Are Prohibited As Driving Light
Parking lights are not used as driving lights at time on any public highway, the warning issued today by California Highway Patrol.
"The law expressly prohibits the use of parking lights as light lights," declared Patrol missioner B. R. Caldwell. Only time the use of park lights is legal is when they used as signal lamps in accordance with the vehicle code or regular parking lights.
"The use of parking lights when driving at dusk, in rain tends to create a distance by the judgment of the other driver," Caldwell continued. "The use of lights gives a truer picture aids the other driver in determining distance thus making more safety for all."
"Obey the law and develop habit of turning on the lights, not the parking lights when lights are needed or quired," he concluded.

CPUC Denies Gas Co. Compromise
The California Public Utilities Commission announced today that it has rejected a compromise proposed by El Paso Natural Gas Company which would establish wholesale gas rates to be charged by that company.
The California Commission is urging the Federal Power Commission to proceed with a full and complete hearing on all phases of El Paso's operations and to determine the rates based on the evidence of all parties.
The California Commission believes that the public interest requires a full adjudication of the issues of this proceeding by the Federal Power Commission, and if necessary, by the courts. Several vital legal issues thus would be finally determined for guidance in future proceedings.
El Paso is seeking F.P.C. approval for a rate increase, already put into effect of more than $18,-000,000 a year. Under the proposed compromise, it would reduce its demand by approximate-the Elks Lodge in Fullerton at 7 p.m. was also announced.
