Four-Day Celebration of Washington's Lincoln's Birthday Creates Confusion Associated Press Writer With birthday moved to a new time slot on Monday in most states, sands of Americans spring loose Friday on a four-day celebration of and birthdays. But only some of the people are celebrating all of the time. In a sprawl of confusion that has some congressmen sitting idly in Washington and others braced for a double dose df po- licital dinner, the holiday shaped up this way: By law and in fact, birthday falls on a Friday this year and in 30 states it will be recognized as a holiday, with most government workers and many others off for the day. birthday, meanwhile, has been moved from Feb.

22 to Feb. 15 under a federal law passed last year fixing four holidays on Mondays to create long weekends. The others are Memorial Day, the last Monday in May: Columbus Day, the second Monday in October, and Veterans Day, the fourth Monday in October. This year, 45 states will recognize birthday on Oklahoma ignoring the holiday altogether, and West Virginia and South Dakota sticking with Feb. 22 for official Hawaii, mean- i while, will call its Monday celebration and Ohio, Within each state, the confusion compounds.

In New Mexico, some workers will have one or both holidays off, but state employes will celebrate birthday at Thanksgiving, and birthday at Christmas. take any holiday they offer said one secretary of the state decision to work as usual and credit the holidays. In Denver, state employes get four days off, city employes get three days and most workers in private industry get no days off. Similar confusions abound in New York City, where the New York and American Stock exchanges, along with all federal offices, will remain open Friday but close Monday. Meanwhile, city, state and bang employes and public school children will get both days off.

Throughout the country, resort owners, airlines and merchants geared for booming business during the holiday break. At Lake Tahoe, night club shows were booked solid through the weekend and operators of the Grossinger Hotel in Grossinger, N.Y., said all rooms were sold out for all four days. Eastern Air Lines said it was operating 92 extra flights between northern cities and resort areas in Florida, Bermuda and the Caribbean during the weekend. In several cities, department stores planned big sales on both holidays. The Commerce and Industry Association in New York Laid about 68 per cent of the businesses were expected to remain open on Friday and 9 per cent on Monday.

The four-day holiday, which includes Day on Sunday, occur precisely the same way again unti 1982, the next time birthday falls on a Friday. As for birthday, the arbitrary change away from Feb. 22 drew only a mild reaction from historians. According to the pre-Gregorian calendar used in the British colonies at the time of his birth, they say, he was really born on Feb. 11.
