Changes Sought
In Diuorce LduU

SACRAMENTO. May IA. U.P)-
Mutual consent, in the opinion of
the assembly judiciary committee,
is not sufficient grounds for di-
yorce in California.
The committee tabled a bill which
would have provided such grounds,
after Assemblyman Paul Richie,
San Diego, made a brief presenta-
ton of the measure.
The committee approved, howey-
er, a senate bill giving courts the
right to enter a final divorce decree
and make it retroactive to the date
upon which IL could have been re-
corded first.
The author, Senator L. j. Difani,
pointed out that the remarriage
OF divorced persons would remain
legal despite the fact no final de-

An annual saving estimated at SIPS, 5,0O0 for an indefinite number of years is contemplated by Com missioner of Moter Vehicles Mich ael A. Connor by the adoption of permanent plates now a subject of study within the department, 1t was announced today.
 The plate, now under considera- ton, is made of aluminium with black letters against 8 natural back ground. Letters and numerals have been re-designed with a view to greater visibility and the annual number of designating the year is located directly in the middle and at the bottom of the plate. This il- sert, to be attached to the plate at each renewal period, will be of a different color and design each year in order to prevent counterfeiting of plates.
 Want Same Numbers
 "The monetary saving involved, of course, is 8 primary considera- ton in the adoption of such 8 plate," the commissioner stated, "but the plan actually received its impetus from the fact that many thousands of motorists in the state desire their same number plates each year. In the past, as will be the case for 1936, we have set aside one month for the reservation of particular plates for those tndivid- uals who wanted to retain their old numbers. This year, with the change of expiration date from December 31 to the last day of February, the period for reservation will extend from January to February l. In recognition of this desire, 1t was my thought that if a satisfactory plate could be had it would simplify mat ters for the public and department alike if 8 permanent plate were adopted. Every one then would re- tain his old number year in and year out until such time as he fail- ed to renew"
 The business of supplying plates to the motoring public annually costs the department approximately SIPS, ,000, the commissioner stated, and places on the department a heavy burden during the period of registration. T might add." he said. that this amount would be annual ly saved for an indefinite number of years as the department under the statutes may charge a fee for replacement of plates. Moreover, 1t must be remembered that at the present time persons displaying de- fective or mutilated plates are sub- ject to arrest and fine. This will continue to be the case, of course,

should the permanent plate on adoption thereafter be damaged" !. Lasts For Five Years
 The plate, which has been the object of study for more than one year and a M1alf by engineers of the department, will last, if reason- ably cared for, for about five years. However, 1t is expected that in many instances 1t will endure for a much longer period, more likely than not for possibly ten to fifteen years.
 A system of permanent plates, the commissioner said, could be made a comparatively simple matter now that the state has inauguirated semi- annual inspection of vehicles. Such a system he said will act as a close and eff1cient check on persons who attempt to evade registration. More over, the department routine has been completely changed so that an immediate check can be made on persons who fail to renew. Such persons will be required to return their plates to the department and their failure to do so will be irn- mediately reported to police officials hl their local communities. The commissioner stated that the pro- gram which he has in view will ac- tually provide 8 closer check on mos torists than anything which has heretofore existed within the de- partment.

vehicle chosen for the initial pre- sentation, that the players are ca pable of offering fine entertain ment.
 The play, from the pen of John Charles Brownell, is the one that featured Pauline Frederick success fully last season in. New York. At the end of, the second act, Louis Isquth, manager of the players and Director Thurber both spoke from the stage, saying they appreciated the opportunity of coming to. Wat erbury to offer stage productions of leading plays. and promised good entertainment provided the com pany is supported. Each playeer was introduced separately and was warmly received.
 Leads Impressing
 The company features Miss Claire Wilson of stage and radio prom thence as the leading lady and Darlington Lewis as the leading man. MT. Lewis is made up as an elderly gentleman in the play and the fair maidens of the audience were given no opportunity to deter mine whether he is the handsome type usually found in stock com- panies. However, he did make a fine impression with the part he por- trayed and demonstrated that he is a good actor. Miss Wilson, an at- tractive brunette, was clever in her handling of the lines of her part.
 The other players, Elizabeth Lan- gille, Walter Cartwright, Robert Regent, Frederick Freeman, Nancy Haswin and Jacqueline Condon are players of ability who should please every audience.
 The play presented last night is 8 comedy with plenty of laughs. It concerns the celever strategy used by Miss Wilson as Jane, mother of Robert, to thwart his pursuit of Veronica, the scheming woman, played by Miss Haswin. MT. Lewis as Peter, an old love of Jane's, and Miss Condon, in the role of Elsie, in love with Robert, assist Jane in the plot.
 Next week, the Lasky Players will present "It's A Wise Child" which scored 8 tremendous hit in New York few seasons ago. A glance at the program shows that the con- pany plans to present some of the finest successes of the stage, provid- ed the players are supported.
