New Highway Route
 To Favor Waterbury
More Direct Course to Bridgeport Included in Post=
 War Plans Another Important Route to By=Pass City

included in this plan. The length of the route around Derby and Shel- ton will be seven miles.
 This project was first discussed two years ago in plans of the State Highway Department for a new route between Waterbury and Bridgeport. Much work at other points between the two cities has already been completed, particularly in the Naugatuck Valley, north of Seymour. However, beyond Seymour nothing has been attempted nor will be until after the war ends. Such route would be an import ant feeder to the Merritt Parkway, too.
 In addition to improving the route between the two cities, elim- mating curves, congested districts, etc., the running time will be con- siderably lessened.
 Another postwar project Of the EVA will be a bypass around Wa terbury, linking Southbury and Milldale. Its purpose is to avoid Ben Sherman Hill on the west of this city and Southington Moun- tain on the east. The length of this bypass will be 18.8 miles and, it is expected will pass to the south of this city, presumably through Ox- ford, Naugatuck, Prospect and Che shire.
 The remaining projects are: "A limited access highway on a new location between East street, New Britain, and a connection with the proposed Park River Express High way in Hartford, length 8 12 miles.
 "A new route extending northerly from the intersection of River Front Boulevard and Park River Express Highway, adjacent to the new Con- necticut River Dike, to point on U. s. Route 5A at the Hartford Windsor town line. The highway will have a divided roadway and separation of grades at all intersec- tions. Length 33 miles.

Teachers Serve Best
 In Chosen Vacations
WING Order Drastic in Many Respects Excludes Teachers; 1000 Expect to Return From War Plants

That teachers can best fulfill their wartime duty by continuing to teach is clearly the intent of the recent WING order of August IA, accord ing to Lyndon U. Pratt, Executive Secretary of the Connecticut State Teachers Association.
 These new rulings, MT. Pratt said, permit the teacher to return to schoolwork after a vacation defense job by specifically excluding him from the restrictive provisions of the employment stabilization program governing occupational changes.
 Concurrence in the view that the WING expects the teacher to return to teaching when schools reopen was expressed to MT. Pratt by William G. Ennis, WING area director for Hartford.
 1000 In War Work
 It is estimated that some seven thousand of the 10000 teachers in the State have been employed this summer in work essential to the war. Ma1y of these teachers were placed in war work through an em- ployment plan initiated last April by the CSTA, and carried out with the cooperation of the USES.
 At that time an understanding was secured from WING Director McNutt that no difficulty would be encountered by the teacher in re- turning to the classroom in Septem- Der, and employers and teachers alike entered into the summer work plan on that basis. The recent WING rulings, MT. Pratt said, constitute final implementation consistent with what has been assumed.
 However, said MT. Pratt, 1t should be realized that among these thous- ands of teacher workers an indiv- idual here and there will have shown himself of greater aid to the war effort in his summer job than in the classroom.
 Such an individual, in order to shift for the duration from teaching to defense industry, MT. Pratt said, must secure a certificate Of avail ability from his superintendent or schools or from the USES. A cer- tificate would be granted by the USES, according to information se- cured by MT. Pratt from John G. Confrey, acting deputy State WING director, only after consultation with the local superintendent of schools, and only after conclusive evidence

Registrars Of Voters Instructed To Assist
 In Facilitating Vote
No Partisanship to Be Shown in Giving Servicemen Il Opportunity to Participate in Home Town 1 5 Elections in Fall

Mayor John s. Monagan today announced that he had requested the office of registrar of voters to CO., operate in every way possible in facilitating the soldier vote at the municipal election this fall.
 Late yesterday afternoon Mayor Monagan, together with Executive Secretary John P. Fitzmaurice, con- ferred with Republican Registrar of Voters Albert O. Taller and Michael Bergin, representing Democratic Registrar John Derwin, who is on vacation, on the advisability of con- ducting a drive locally to see that every man and woman in the armed forces is given chance to vote this year.
 "This is not a partisan or 8 poli- tical matter" said Mayor Monagan today. Every registered voter who is on duty somewhere in this coun- try or wherever there is a sphere of action should have the chance to vote and believe it is the duty of the officials of this city to make this possible. The law on absentee bal lots this year makes it possible for registrars to apply to the town clerk for absentee ballots to be sent to individuals in service. I feel that I should do everything possible to aid the registrars in supplying the town clerk with a complete list of those who are eligible to vote"
 The mayor also indicated that if it became necessary he would have set up in the City Hall an office or desk at which information on absentee ballots might be obtained and to which might be submitted the names of men and women in the service, the same to be given to the registrars for formal submission to the town clerk.
 During yesterdays discussion the point was brought out that recently

Mrs. Frances Redick, secretary of state, had announced that if reg istrars simply furnished the last known mailing address of voters in service applications might be sent there with a request that they be forwarded. However, today it was learned that Mrs. Redick is to seek ruling from Attorney General Francis A. Pallotti on this phase of the absentee ballot law.
 Mayor Monagan was insistent that the opportunity to vote be afforded every person in the service, no mat ter what his or her political affilia- ton might be. In this he is in &C., cord with Secretary of State Redick who has consistently pointed out that theabsentee ballot law is in- tended to make it possible for every- one in the service to vote.

BRIEFS ORDERED IN COURT TRIAL
Counsel Seek Complete Discharge, Clear Record
 for Young Defendants

Having recuperated from injuries received when joy ride in bor- rowed automobile ended in 8 collis- ion with an electric pole a month ago, Robert Kiely, 18, and Edward Miller, 20, faced city court this morning on warrants charging both taking an automobile without per- mission, and the more serious charge of theft.
 Prosecutor Albert Hummel asked Judge Charles Summa to enter a nolle on the charges of taking a car without permission, relatively minor offense, TOT which punish ment for a first offense is limited to $10 to $50 fine.
 Former city court prosecutor Will liam Lawlor, and State Senator John F. Tobin, appearing for Miller and Kiely respectively, objected to the entering of nolle on this charge, since if the boys were acquitted on charges of theft, the charge Of taking a car without permission could later be reopened. The at torneys asked that either discharge or an absolute nolle be entered to clear boys records on this charge. Attorney Tobln told the court his client has orders to report for in- duction into the Army on August 25, and he would like to do so with a clear record. Judge Summa ordered the defense attorneys to file briefs on their requests, and containued the case to August 26.
 A charge of theft, which is fel- only punishable by imprisonment in the state penitentiary, requires the state to prove that the automobile was taken with the intention of withholding it from the owner for personal gain by such means as changing serial numbers or driving | if tn op0thor state

 Individual Cases
 Each such case would then be carefully studied, and such factors taken into account as the teachers replaceability and the critical na- ture of the subject matter taught.
 Under these exceptional circum- stances, much as the school of Con- necticut would regret the temporary loss to teaching in any such case, said MT. Pratt, "every educator would, I believe, wish such an in- dividual well in his endeavor to win an earlier victory for the nation, while his colleagues fight beside him in the classroom"
