KIWANIANS HEAR
 HISTORY OF FBI
Agent Traces Rapid Devel. Opfnent of Now Far.
 Famed Federal Bureau

Members of the Kiwanis Club at luncheon meeting held in The Elton yesterday noon listened to an FBI agent describe the history of the Federal Bureau of Investi. gation from its founding to the present time. The speaker also ex- plained the function of the duties of the department since the bureau was found 8 years ago. The G-nnan said that on its inception there were only 300 on the personnel and IT years ago J. Edgar Hoover as- stunned his duties as its chief.
 The speaker said that at the present time there is Q personnel of 2,200 and that eighty-flve percent of the members are either lawyers or accountants.
 With the increasing of the per. sonnel the work of the department had also taken on volume in pro- portion and with the subversive activities ever-present and the ad- ditional threat of sabotage the de- partment's staff has to cope with @ vast amount of work.
 At the next meeting of the Xii wanis Club on October 8, E. N. Roselle, superintendent of the Southbury Training School will speak on the subject, Mental De- ficiency as Q Social and Economic Problem.

STATE SURVEYS
 TRUCKS, BUSSES
QuestiOnnaire Cards Sent to 6O,OcO OwnersDe. fense Program Involved

Commissioner John T. Mccarthy of the Motor Vehicles Department announced today that the truck and bus inventory for Connecticut is Jn- der way and that questionnaire cards have been sent to nearly co., 900 truck and bus owners through out the state.
 The commissioner urged prompt cooperation with the inventory which Is being made ct the request Of the Highway Trafdc Advisory committee to the War Department in the interests of national defense.
 with A million trucks in this country today aS compared with about x million during the first World war, the United States need not experience again c transporta- tion paralysis like that of 10l7," the commissioner emphasized. "rhe truck and bus inventory will proc vide information for federal ofilcials in planning improved highway transportation facilities for national defense"
 The invntory offers an opportun- ity for truck and bus owners to make c contribution to the defense of the nation, the commissioner said. With complete returns from the C1rvey, 1t will be possible to make records of all available high- way transportation facilities by re- gions and on a central basis.
 Two units of the Federal Works Agency are conducting the inven- tory in cooperation with the state. The Public Roads Administration is directing the inventory and the WPA will analySe and list the re. turns.
 Trucks and busses are already performing 0 great service," Com missioner Mccarthy pointed out. "On Q ton-mile basis, trucks haul about sixth as much freight as the railroads, and taking into ac- count distances travelled, passenger travel is about the same on buses and railroads. These highway la cilities afford also Q great unused capacity that should Do available in the event of emergency"
 The s by questlonnaire card saallad to each truck and bus owner specifically requests information re. garding the season of the year when he most urgently needs the vehicle in his own business and whether in an emergency he would be willing to hire or lease the vehicle to a gov.

What A Life!
Stranded YD Boys Remain Faithful to Trust Beside Disabled Army Truck in
 West Hartford.

Camp Edwards, Mass, to Maness, N. O., for maneuvers.
 Right in front of the above ad- dress their small weapons truck broke down. The rest of the con. voy of l698S men whizzed by and word was dropped off that @ repair crew would come along and pick them up.
 So far there has been no sign
 of their reScuers, and Cota and Ethicr, loyal to army regulations, have been standing guard day and night to protect their government property.
 But if 1t hadn't been for the kind- ness of neighbors, police, newshoys and sympathetic passersby, they might have starved to death.
 The first one to notice thier plight on Monday night was @ neWsboy, He gave them an evening paper rlnd relayed their story to e policeman on the beat. The cop bought them some sandwiches and coffee. Soon the story got around and neighbors overwhelmed the two soldiers with hospitality.
 Between 5 ?. m, Monday ard 1iSO .. Xll., Tuesday, they ate SIX meals and turned down as many offers to sleep in comfortable ci. william beds.
 Tuesday they shaved ct Q nearby gasoline station and neishbors again descended upon them with invita- tions for breakfast. They ate two. And 1t has been the same routine ever since-eat, guard and sleep.
 Tuesday night one of their bene. factors dragged out c mattress and offered to make their truck more comfortable.
 We couldn't take it," explained Private Ethier. "That would have spoiled sls fer the army C0ss."
 They did, however, accept the loan of portable radio yesterday to hear the world series.
 We gOtte be rescued soon" de- clarod Ethler, Cor we'll be co fat from Overeating the army won't want us any more."
 And right ct that moment they excused themselves while they re- sponded to 0 "yoo-hoo" to sit down for c third breakfast.

Women DriDers, FL! Members of Volunteer Motor Corps Want tO Qualify for Certificates the "Hard Way"
 Difficult Tests Arranged
 for Candidates.

provide certificates for members of women's motor corps who suc- cessfully pass the tests. These certificates will be of two types. one to indicate the recipient has reilieved 6 rating of first class, the csher a rating of second class.
 Only experienced drivers could qualify for either rating. It Is suggested that candidates for first class certificates be limited to wo@ men under 35 years of age and that that 1t be required that can- didates in both classes have passed coursese in first aid and minor motor mechanics.
 The manual includes also an outline for Q training course in motor mechanics. The general aim of the course is to enable Q driver to "know when something is wrong with her vehicle, posses some ability to diagnose the fault, possibly be able to rectity t4ae weakness if c minor defect or failure, or, finally, to know what to do about getting the machine made effective once more"

Bristol, Oct. 2.-Fire Chief George c. Graham unoflcially estimated today that the damage caused by fire Tuesday to the Gridley and Root blocks op Main street would be in the neighborhood of $250, 900.
 Representatives of the c. L. Lilley Company, of Waterbury, and the William J. Tracy Company, of Bristol, joint owners of the two buildings, stated that as yet they have made no plans for remodeling or tearing down the buildings.

That Motor vehicles Commis- sioner John T. Mccarthy has full confidence in the ability of e good woman driver was indicated when he approved Q series of driving skill tests for women that would stump the average male driver. The tests are featured in 6 man. ual for volunteer motor corps .e. leased by the Motor Vihcles De- partment today.
 It was explained that they were the result of numerous requests from women's emergency motor corps throughout the state for something sufficiently difficult and comprehensive to set a high driv- ing standard for such corps.
 Groups which use the tests will expect plenty from their mem bers since the maneuvers range from weaving in reverse through a series of stanchions to getting out of a ditch without spinning the rear wheels, racing, or stall ing the motor all in a given length of time.

Fewer Rejections At

Medical Board Exercising" More Care Says State Oficial-I20 Draftees Made Needless Trip;
 One Waterburian Accepted Yesterday

boards have taken a high degree of pride in the matter of careful ex- aminations and in the consequent small number of men rejected from their districts. Lieutenant John J. Foley, medical officer in charge, stated that considering that all lo- cal boards work under the same regulations, and that advisory help Is available to all, further progress in decreasing the percentage of re- jections at the induction station ap- pears to lie in an attempt to bring all boards up to the degree of care- full work already achieved by a few"
 Defects Evident.
 He pointed out that "one evil which still persists" is the practice of some boards in sending in men known to have disqualifying defects. That these defects are known has been apparent, Lieutenant Foley said, from statements of some of the rejected men, and from physical eX- aminatlons recorded on forms used by local boards, many of which show a clearly disqualifying defect but nevertheless certify the selec- tee for Class IA.
