sidering statewide drive to en- force this statute.
 It has been estimated that over $200,000 in extra revenue would accrue to the state from issuance of Connecticut plates to the cars of defense workers now living in this state. However, Commissioner Mo- Carthy is said to be more concerned about enforcement of the law as a means of making certain of the identity of the car-owners and hav- ing personal data about them avail able to police and other authori- ties.
 Tn the past the procedure has been for the most part to wink benevolently at violations of the registration law for out-of-state cars and an enforcement drive would be unique. It is believed that Commissioner Mccarthy will confer with state defense officials before coming to any definite decision.
 Many out-of-state cars are seen parked in factory yards and on the streets near local plants and most of the owners have been here for well over the 90 days allowed by state law.

DOOLITTLES PLAN

 Of Ancestors Arrival

Members of the prolific Doo- little family will congregate in Wal lingford Thursday and Friday, to celebrate their biennial gathering and the 300th anniversary of the ar- rival in America of John and Abra- ham Doolittle.
 It is estimated that about 11,Ooo descendants of John and Abraham are able to trace their genealogy directly to the pioneer of 1641. His brother, in contrast to Abraham who was the progenitor of IA robust offsprings, never married.
 Those living today belong to the 7th, 9th, 9th and 10th generations and one of the highlights of the convention will be the placing of the names of new Doolittles, born dur ing the past two years, on their re- spective branches in the family tree.
 The original Doolittles lived in England, but today they reside chief ly in the United States and in Can- ada. Members of the clan main- tain that there are none in the Old World.
 Various generations have played conspicuous roles in the develop ment of this country. There have been distinguished clergymen, statesmen, soldiers, scientists, in- ventors among their number; ana even Rev. Henry H. Doolittle who sdomesticated the blackberry.
 Waterbury members of the clan of Doolittle are as follows:
 Charles B. Doolittle, AT Manville street; Mrs. Clara Dooittle. Water bury hospital; Cleveland B. Doo- little 563 North Main street; Mrs Elsa H. Doolittle. 8 Edgewood ave- nue; Fitch s.

desirous of ascertaining his stat us, it was necessary to consult a book for that purpose. The new procedure offers less trouble some method, and in addition will serve to put an end to quer- ies as to why certain registrants were not inducted and others were. The classifications, open to public inspection, are self ex- planatOry.
 Another purpose, Mir. Schia- vOne indicates, is to afford an op- pOrtunity to detect cases of mis- representation on questionnaires., This has not occurred with great frequency, he added, but in some eases there have been unjustified claims of dependency, which may be observed and reported by in- dividuals knowing the true stat. us of the registrant when class ifications are placed in public view.
