It does appear that DST ended in California on 16 Jan instead of 1 Jan 1949. A newspaper arnnouncement of DST ending on 16 Jan 1949 would confirm this.
LA Times believed it was Jan 1 1948 Dec 9, pg 1 Warren sets Jan 1 to end daylight time Decision announced after conference with power chief Sacramento Dec 8 (AP) California will return to standard time Jan. 1, Gov. Warren decreed today. 1949 Jan 1, pg 1 The correct time is now an hour slow There are 25 hours in today, Jan 1. At 2 a.m. PDT, daylight saving time went out the window, the correct time became 1 a.m. PST and a Jan 2 article down from the SF Chronicle blamed Warren for the Cal Bears losing the Rose Bowl to Northwestern. -- Steve Allen <sla@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB 260 Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m
