 Urged By Com. Connor
ITwO-Thirds of Connecticut High Schools to Have
 Driver Education This Year

ment during the three years that such courses have been given. To encourage enrolment, the commis- sioner issues two types of signed certificates to students successfully completing the work. If 8 student takes the classroom course only, he receives a certificate which exemptS him from the law test if he applies for a license within @ year. He must still take the road and eye tests, however. The second certificate, awarded for classroom work and 8 driving course in which nc receives actual practice, exemptS him from all tests except the eye test If he applies for his license within year.
 The courses are designd to teach facts about driving; to be convinc- ing in regard to driving hazards. and to familiarize studenNs with the rules of the road and the motor ve- hicle laws of Connecticut.
 A special Connecticut edition of drivers textbook, Man and the Motor Car" is available to high schools through the Motor Vehicles Department. The book is published by the National Conservation Blu reau of the City of New York in the interest of safety.
 Commissioner Connor said today that he expects driver education courses will soon be part of the curriculum of all the high schools in the state.

DRAFT LODGING
 ROMEOS WARNED
A Fate Worse Than Army Awaits Some of Them
 Is Forecast
BY PAUL H. KING United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

(UnlCed Press Stam COrreSpOnuentD
 Washington, Sept. 11.-(UP)- Lukewarm Romeos, seeking to es- cape conscription through marriage, take warning!
 A fate" worse than the army awaits some of you.
 At least, that's the opinion of some married congressman who are disturbed by the increase in what they call stacker marriages"
 But they concede there is noth- ing to do about it except to let "a just retribution overtake these young men in the end
 Legislate against marriage?
 You might as well legislate against the rain and sun, they say. Then, too, that would be unfair to those who are marrying for love.
 A survey of congressman disclosed that they have decided to leave sud- denly altar-bound Romeos to nat ural fate. They predict rough go- ing for most of them in matrimony since many would make bad choices of mates, anyway"
 General congressional reaction was similar to that of Rep. Charles I. FaddiS, D., Pa., married, a father of four children, a colonel in the army reserves and 8 member of the house committee that acted on the Burke Wadsworth conscription bill.
 These Kinds of Marriages
 'These kinds of marriages = and ] they really are draft-dodge mar riages = are bound to end up bad" Faddis said. "The cards are against their success. These kinds of cou- pies undoubtedly will end up on re- | lief"
 Faddis and Rep. James w. Wads- worth, R., N. Y, co-author of the conscription bill, thought it was "up to the ladies" to prevent stacker marriages" Faddis believed that both the bride and groom who marry to escape the draft will 'pay and pay in the final analysis
 Any woman who would marry a man knowing that he was doing so to dodge the draft, probably would not make the best wife in the world," Faddis said.
 1 Tt seems to me that only our ladies can prevent these gentlemen from walking to the altar and es- caping the draft"
 Scoffs at Suggestion
 He scoffed at suggestions that state legislatures might write clauses into their marriage laws re- quiring men to say why they were marrying" Any man who wished to escape the draft through mar riage certainly would lie to escape any preventive legislation" he said
 '"The house military affairs com mittee considered a provision in tht bill that would have declared that a woman married after date of pass age of the conscription bill would not be considered a dependent, Faddis said. But we decided such a provision was unjust because there are hundreds of persons who are marrying for love and not fol the men to dodge the draft. | "So what are you going to dol You can't legiSlate against the thing. You can't just raise you hand and say you cannot get mar. ried. Perhaps there ought to be g law-but what kind?"
