Michael A. Connor, new motor vehicle commissioner, has received praise because one of his first dec- larations on assuming office was to the effect that present motor vehicle license fees in Connects cut are too high and should De
 We have said as much for years. and are glad that Commissioners Connor feels that way about 1t. However, the commissioners IS not the one who sets the fees and his say-so will not affect the issue in any way for the next two years. Any reduction or re-arrangement must come from the legislature.
 There is another matter on which the commissioner has not expressed any opinion as yet and that is the way in which licenses are Issued by his department.
 During rush season the facilities are never up to the demand. Mo torists throughout the state are obliged to stand in line for hours before each branch ofI1ce. Why not introduce a really modern method of distribpting licenses? Call in the service of police stations, automo- bile clubs and other agcnciess and make the issuance of licenses easy

Although he is 'unalterably' opposed to repeal of the 18th Amendment Major A. V. Dalrymple. prohibition administrator. does think that wines of as high as l2 per cent alcohol should be legalized. Let's see! Major Dalrymple comes from California, doesn't he3 And SO far as we can see there isn't person in California, dry or wet, who wouldn't be tickled pink to read that Congress had legalized wines of fairly high alcoholic content. Of course. wines with a content of 3.2 per cent alcohol are now legal just as is beer of the same strength. But there is a vast difference between beer with this amount of alcohol and wine. If you don't think so then just sample some of the stuff that is now masquerading under the title of legal wine. You'll soon change your opinion. However, to get back to Major Dalrymple's stand. He takes the same one as did Mrs Mabel Walker Willebrandt after she became counsel for prominent Cali fornia fruit raising concern. Her inln1e- diate job had been prosecuting violators of the liquor law, so she wasn't going far out of her field. And then when Senator Will liam Gibbs MeAdoo came down to Wash ington his previous out and out dry stand was mitigated by desire to see his fellow Californians profit with market for their grape crop. Don't let anybody get the idea that we oppose wines of IF per cent. We spoke for them when legalization of wines and beers was first mentioned We still believe in it and support Major Dal- rymple. But we cant resist the impulse to point out possible motives.

The Veto stands

.(New Haven Journa1-Courier)
 The Senate acted wisely in re- fusing to follow the House into re- versal of the governors veto on the West Haven anti-exenaption bill. The veto message itself was a mod el of temperate but uuanswerable rebuke to the sponsors of the mea- sure. &Citing the apparent fact that exemption is given to enterprises considered by the state to require it for the social welfare, the gov ernor rightly regarded the West Haven measure as contradicting

that sound principle and contain ing special discriminations besides. The point he made about the in- tegral character of physical educa- tion in any curriculum is of course central to the controversy; as Pres ident Angell had made clear the plant West Haven wished to tax was as much a part of the univer- sity's equipment for the education of her 5000 students-1,500 of them from Connecticut--as any classroom; nor does the university make a profit on hte athletic en- year. The West Haven measure. terprises. butr ather loses every in word, was without any defense vetoed and the veto well acquicsced in policy or realism. It was well by the Senate.

pY PAUL HARRISON

New York-Some of the elder gentry around the fringes' of Broadway night life declare there's nothing new about the "tat" rack et It has been known. they say, ever since the days of BoWery music halls. Others, though, claim it was devised recently, and will even name the tin-horn gambler who's supposed to have discovered the schemes possibilities.
 Be that as it may, there are 2 lot of sstatters" and 'steerers around town now, and apparently plenty of suckers who haven't heard anything at all about the tat racket, which goes like this:
 A pretty girl, maybe an out.of- work cronie or even Q poor stem ographer looking for entertain ment, manages to meet the sucker, who invites her to a theater and night club. At the latter place she spies a man who she says IS her boss, or perhaps an uncle. He is invited to join them, and there are a few rounds of drinks. Pret- ty soon she says well-for-heaven's- sake-look-here, and picks up lit- tie die from the floor.
 Right away the ikkle dirl wants to gamble. Her boss refuses. so she rolls her escort for . few dimes. Finally the latter says he will back the girl to see which man pays the night club check. The escort refuses such . gener- ous gesture, but the girl insists. So the sucker is handed . "tat," which Is . die with only the mum. bers 1, 3 and on its six sides. He rolls at best, Q 3. The tat is palmed and the girl rolls another with only {, and 6-spots on tt. She can't lose
 After that the game begins in earnest. It's all SO silly and casual that the victim seldom gets sus- picious. He can only see three sides of Q die at Q glance, and if he cares to make . close examination the honest die Is always left on the table between rolls. The sucker wins occasionally, but always loses the doubled bets. When he has lost 50 or more, the latter is called away to an urgent appointment and the victim escorts the dis traught little girl to her home.
