Reubin Askew called a special legislative session Saturday to consider turning back most Florida clocks by an hour.

Askew called the legislature into session beginning Tuesday and said he wants a law switching Florida into the Central Time Zone. An aide said Askew hopes the law is in effect by next Sunday. The Florida Highway Patrol said there have been eight school children killed in early morning accidents since Daylight Savings Time began Jan. 6. It said there were two such deaths in a similar period last year when Florida and the rest of the nation were on Eastern Standard Time.

Askew said the new yearround Daylight Savings Time law, put into effect on the grounds it would save energy by spreading out periods of peak energy use, provides that states which have two time zones may switch to one if their legislatures so desire.

President places hopes on State of Union talk WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon hopes Wednesday's State of the Union address will help convince voters that his ability to govern has not been crippled. Nixon's television-radio appearance at a prime time joint session of Congress will cap the first stage of a fresh presidential campaign to put his leadership qualities on display and demonstrate that he is not "consumed by Watergate." The address, in which Nixon will outline a new national health insurance plan, a more flexible highways-mass transit blueprint and other domestic legislation, will be followed quickly by the annual economic report and federal budget.

Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler has said he feels that Nixon will hold a news conference "a short time after" Wednesday's address. It would be Nixon's first news conference since October. The President's latest attempt to place the White House focus on affairs of government is a week old. It began last Saturday with a radio speech on energy matters and has been followed by an unusual series of pre-State of the Union messages to Congress.

A reporter suggested to Ziegler it could be called a "back to business as usual campaign." Ziegler replied, "I don't want that to be picked up now as the new theme." Emerging from a brief hospital stay last summer, the President told his staff: "Let others wallow in Watergate. We're going to do "our job." Yet Watergate came to dominate White House affairs more than ever during, the fall and early winter. Even now, Nixon cannot ignore his Watergate difficulties.

Sheriff Roy Snead said Russell Hurley, 34, and Hullett Rosser, 24, escaped from their third-floor cells around 10 a.m. Saturday. The pair used a fire hose to lower themselves to a catwalk between the main courthouse and the annex which houses the jail.

Sheriff's deputies said the prisoners apparently walked a ledge from the catwalk to a pipe anchored to the wall and slid to the ground. "The best we can determine so far, Hurley hid under a bunk this morning (Saturday) and we missed him in the (head) count," said Snead. According to Snead, Rosser, a trustee who worked on the hall, and Hurley were able to avoid surveillance television cameras in making their way to the fourth floor. From there, the two went through the skylight onto the roof, swung the fire hose over the edge and escaped, Snead said. A number of county and city officers converged on the courthouse within minutes after jailer Clyde Reaves discovered the prisoners missing and sounded the alarm, deputies said.

"It's the worst that I have seen in the past 12 months," said Avery Upchurch, executive director of the North Carolina Service Station Association. An Associated Press survey showed that although the situation varied widely from area to area, in some places it was more severe than during the New Year'sholiday when service stations ran out of gasoline and simply shut down until the new shipments arrived. Stations seemed to be running out sooner this month. Of a dozen Chicago gas stations usually: open until 9 p.m.

on Fridays, eight were closed by 6 p.m. Three of the four remaining stations were limiting sates and the -fourth had a line of cars four blocks long waiting to get at the pumps.

BuT the documents that also were to bring peace to Vietnam appear to have been written in disappearing ink.

Of the major provisions signed in Paris last Jan. 27 after four years of negotiations and the deaths of hundreds of thousands, only those dealing with U.S. withdrawal and the return of American prisoners have been carried out. The'major violation has been the continued fighting. South Vietnam says 42,000 enemy troops were killed in the ensuing year, while it lost at least 11,000 of its own forces.

As to the rest of the accords, the major breaches are: The constant shifting of forces despite agreement to remain in place, and the failure of a Joint North-South Military Commission to "determine the areas controlled by each party." The failure of the two sides to complete prisoner exchanges and the refusal of the, Communists to provide sufficient security for search Jearhs.J90.king for. remains of missing Americans.
