SCREWDRIVERS!
Safety Expert Coins New Word for Bad-Man- nered Motorists Responsible for 1000 Deaths
 Annually in U. S.-Driving Manners vs Etiquette

"ScreWdrivers" - bad-mannered motorists-cause 1000 deaths year, waste $250, 100000 in gaso- line and automobile efficiency, and bring about 25 per cent of all stop-and-go driving.
 This was the conclusion drawn from a talk by Dr. Miller Me- Clintock, Americas number one traffic authority, at the annual banquet of the Greater New York Safety Council last night, when he was referring to those discour, teous motorists who double park, turn from wrong l anes, and beat traffic lights.
 A new twist in his role as toastmaster was also introduced by Dr. McClintock. He presided on the silver screen, by means of the motion picture entitled Show Your Colors," in which Dr. McClintock played leading role. This film which promotes the en- rollment of all courteous drivers in a national effort to eliminate "screwdrivers" through a Share the Road" campaign, delivered his kep note talk.
 1,200 Experts!
 More than 1,200 traffic and safety authorities from all parts of the country were present at the banquet which climaxed 8
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-30

three day session held at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
 Dr. McClintock,, who is director of Traffic Research Bureau at Yale and head of Traffic Audit Bureau, compared bad driving to ba etiquitte. Most men wouldn't plunge through 6oor that had just been opened for a lady by a more courteous gentleman" he pointed out, "bur it is surpris- ing how many ill-mannered indi- viduals will drive up sanely to a traffic signal and when the light changes to green, stamp the ac- celerator ot the floor to try to leap across before the approach ing streams of traffic hit them.
 Certainly one of the most dis courteous drivers is the one who turns from the wrong lane. His particular lack of consideration for others takes the form of sudden ly swerving from a right-hand lane to make a left-hand turn; or he veers left, as if trying to get in the left-turn lane and then swings abruptly to the right. Tn either case he is as tliscourteous to the driver he has cut in front of, as if he had slapped his face.
 Wedding Usher
 "He is the kind of dinner guest who would start for the other side of the table and then climb over. If he were an usher at a wed- ding, he would stalk down the right side of the aisle and then veer without warning to the left, treading on the preachers toes and making the bride and groom stamble over each other.
 Double parking is pure thoughtlessness. The driver knows he'll just be 8 minute, but in that minute he can tie up 8 block of traffic, cause the shifting of hun- dreds of gears, waste gallons of gasoline. If he carried his driv- ing manners to the office with him he would hang his coat on the back of the receptionist's chair and prop his feet on his boss desk.
 Dr. McClintock 1auded the Share the Road" Campaign, which is designed to rid the highways of ill-mannered drivers, as an or ganized nationwide crusade to do away with "screwdriving". He further predicted that this coast to-coast crusade twill be recog- nized as the great step in a con- tinuing program to increase the efficiency of the automobile as well as our pleasure in its use."

FAMILIAR FACES
 IN COURT LINEUP
Aged Vagrant s e nj to BrOOkside Pending Re-
 quest For Pension

A bunch of the boys were recov- ering from whooping it up today in the prisoners cage at Waterbury city court and, from the reading of the records by Prosecutor Frank T. Healey, Judge Edward Mascolo had his suspicious verified. He was greeting a number of old acquaint- ances.
 In fact, some of the prisoners, charged with intoxication, had bare- ly enough time to recover from their last happy landings in the jailhouse.
 To one and another, Judge Mas colo extended greetings, of sort. A couple drew sentences to the work house. One fellow, whose extrac- tion was not alien to Waterbury, was before court the last time on March 18.
 Well" unused the judge, I've all know that he had some reason to celebrate on March 17th. Probably he hadn't time to recover. We'll sus- pend sentence in this case"
 A small, white-haired man who admitted to 67 years, was charged with vagrancy. The judge inquired whether he wasn't receiving his old age pension and the man replied that it had been taken away from him. Pending investigation, he will be at Brookside. He had lived in Waterbury since 1889, the man said.

Publicity Commission
 Prepare Designations
Chairman Rogers Informs Governor Baldwin of Menl-
 bers Plans Development Commission Expected

Hartford, March 30.-Members of the state publicity commission, through Willard B. Rogers of this city, chairman, have notified Cover nor Raymond E. Baldwin that they will resign upon passage of the bill now pending in the legislature which provides for the creation of the Connecticut development commis- sion. This action will enable Cover nor Baldwin to immediately appoint the members of the new commits sion which would be charged with aiding in the development of in- dusttry, agriculture and residential and recreational facilities within the state.
 Economic Development
 The new commission would take over all the duties of the present publicity commission and in addi- tion would take steps to immediate ly further the economic development of the state as whole. MT. Rogers, who has been one of the most &C., tive sponsors of the bill calling for the new commission, explained that the broad bojectives are to increase CD opportunities for business and employment, (2) the incomes of all citizens of the state and (3 the taxable wealth of the state.
 Other members of the state pub licity commission, all of whom have registered in favor of the replace ment of their commission by the new body are: Albert E. Lavery, vice president, the Bridgeport Hydraulic company, Bridgeport: E. Vincent Maloney, publisher, The Waterbury Democrat, Waterbury; Charles E. Rolfe, general information manager, The Southern New England Tele- phone company, New Haven; Charles E. Smith, vice president, The New Haven Railroad company, New Haven.
 Favorable action on the bill by the legislature is anticipated in view of the widespread demand for the type of service for the state which this bill contemplates. The bill, in- troduced by Senator Charles J. Arrigoni, has the support of the administration. It has received the approval and support of outstand- ing leaders in the state, many of whom appeared in support of the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-30

fair taxes, sound governmental poll. cies; not moving expenses, tax re. bates, etc.
 While the larger cities already carry on some industrial promotion work, most of the areas of the state especially those which need 1t most are without those research and pro- motional facilities essential to in dustrial rehabilitation which the commission should provide.
 While it is quite apparent tc almost everyone why Connecticut should want to promote industry and agriculture and real estate de. velopment. the value of the business of catering to the needs of the va. cation visitor is frequently over looked. This business pays well, ane as nature has provided in Connecti- cut practically everything the vaca- tionist may desire, it remains only for us to capitalize upon this gift.
 Connecticut wants new industries and residents of desirable type, if wants to increase the market for its farm products, and it wants to at- tract visitors. At the same time il wants to retain the industries and volume of busoiness it now has. There is genuine and widespread feeling that there is immediate need for action such as that outlined in this bill.
 "In considering this whole matter. we should keep in mind fact fre- quently emphasized by Governor Baldwin, namely: What helps Con- necticut helps every business and every individual in Connecticut. To that extent. every resident of the state may well have a selfish inter- est in the adoption of this plan."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-30

bill at the legislative committee hearing.
 Thorough Study
 The Development Commission bill was drawn after careful and thor ough study of the acts under which similar commissions are functioning successfully in more than 20 other states. It calls for a commission of II members to be appointed by the governor and to include one rep reSentative from each county. Among the members, according to the bill, shall be a representative of labor, and of the major business, agricultural, Industrial, recreational and other interests of the state. An appropriation of $35, ,000 year for the next two years is called for to finance the work of the commission.
 Commenting on the importance of immediate action, MT. Rogers de- clared: With the growing competi- tion among states for means of in- creasing their taxable wealth, it be- comes more and more essential that Connecticut should take a positive. aggressive place among the competi- tors.
 During 1888, 26 states sent $2,- 791 800 for development and promo tional work and it was money well spent in the opinion of those who counted the dividends. Here is what the other New England states had for this type of work: Rhode $25,000; Vermont, $47,000; New Hampshire, $70,000; Massa- chusetts, $104,00O; Maine, $375, ,000, $175, 900 of which represents a tax on potatoes and which is spent in advertising that particular farm product.
 "As pointed out in the bill itself, the new Connecticut commission should adhere strictly to the prin- ciple of carrying on research and promotion to maintain and in- crease the states major wealth-pro- ducing forces: Industry, agricul- ture and recreational and residential facilities.
 Type of Value
 The commission should attempt to bring into the state only those types of industry and business which will be of real value to the state. It should promise only fair treatment,

ALLEGED ANNOYER
 HELD BY POLICE

When the case of Charles Brown, 39, of 65 Abbott avenue, was called in city court today there were sev- eral witnesses, women and girls em- ployed in the Mill street section. Brown was charged with misconduct.
 Seems there have been numerous complaints in the area about some man accosting women. Police have sped to the scene on occasions but it was not until this morning at about 7:20 o'clock that Motor Pa trolman Thomas Phelan took into custody Brown, on Pond street.
 The case posed a problem for Judge Edward Mascolo. Brown claimed that he had been working at 8 local market at the times his accusers said they had seen him on various occasions. He exclaimed his early morning presence in the Pond street region by saying that he had visited brother to obtain some rubberS.
 Prosecutor Frank T. Healey call- ed the officer back to the stand and discrepancy between the states case and Browns story became ap- parent.
 So. Browns case was continued with $500 bail until Saturday morn ing, pending further investigation.
