INVENTORY DATA
 TO BE STUDIED
Information on Trucks, Busses in State to Be
 Offered OPM

Data obtained in Connecticut's truck and bus inventory will be used in making recommendations to the United States Office of Production management in regard to the pro- duction of trucks and trucks parts, John L. Rogers, Chairman of the Central Motor Transportation com- mjttee informed Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy today.
 Tn releasing MT. Rogers statement, Commissioner Mccarthy commented that in Connecticut returns have been received so far from 53 percent of the truck and bus owners. He urged those who have not yet re- turned their questionnaire forms to do so immediately.
 Tn his communication to the commissioner. MT. Rogers empha- sized the following point:
 We do not expect every truck owner in the country to answer yes to the question on the ques- tionpaire form which asks Tn case of an emergency would you volin- tarily hire or lease your vehicle to a federal agency?'
 Tn many eases trucks will already be engaged in essential services and can not be spared. But the govern ment must have information rec garding all trucks in order to plan the production of truck and truck parts to meet all requirements un- der the national defense program. It is necessary to know the age and kind of trucks in essential services in order to plan replacements as they are required"

 Today I saw you play foot ball." she continued. You were magnificent. There was a certain art to it - a perfection you find in one person in e million"
 And that's why you wanted to meet me?" he asked,
 That's right, Pete" she said simply. You're the greatest foot ball player I've ever seen, and l had to meet you"
 I'm glad" He smiled. q like people who go after what they want" He moved closer to her. Miss Stevens, If someone had told me I'd be sitting next to you to- day think I'd have laughed right in their face"
 And vice-versa."
 The car picked up speed. Where are we going2" he asked.
 TO Q party" she replied. I'm having a few people over tonight, Interesting crowd - Hollywood big shots and little shots, but all fun, You'll like them"
 He drowned momentarily. There was Anne, the alumni, the team.
 Forget something?" She looked disturbed.
 ''Weil no, guess not"
 She lighted another cigaret and rested her head against the seat. "Now that I've captured you, tell me about yourself. Whats life got in store for you besides headlines and touchdowns?"
 Plenty" said Pete. "I know what I want. The touchdowns and headlines are stepping stones"
 q like the way you say that" she approved. Go ahead"
 You've heard my story before" he continued quietly. There's hundreds of fellows like myself doing the same thing. Big fellows who know how to kick a little ball, or pass it, or run with 1t, or knock other big fellows down. They wanted an education and couldn't buy it. So they sold their talent.
 I've wanted to be a doctor ever since my dad died. I watched the doctor walk out of his room and shake his head, and I said to my self, I'm going to find out why people have to die that young, why doctors have to shake their heads like that
 we lived in a small mining town seven kids and my folks. After dad died, my mother ran a restaurant to keep us alive. l knew I'd never get to college that way.
 Then I found an answer. There was another husky kid like my self in town named George Lan- ders. He said to me one day: You're big guy, Pete. Why not come out for the high school foot ball team?'
 What for? asked him. What's there in it? It may get you a college scholarship he told me, and that's all I had to hear. I went out and picked up the game fast. Pretty soon began scoring a lot of touchdowns and the papers started writing about me. Then received a few offers States was the best, so I took it That may not sound pretty - but you wanted the dope and that's it."
 Is there 8 girl involved in all this?" asked stephanie.
