Ryan Taking B0lUs On
Legislative Forecast

He names his objective, ven-
lures O prediction and then goes
out In battle formation TO carry
the fight TO his opponents, such
as the record Of the past week Of
Edward Ryan Of Thomaston, poll
teal writer and commentator.
At the public hearing on the
late. but hardly lamented Birth
Control bill, Mr.. Ryan not only
denounced the measure In bis
tering terms, engaged In Q verbal
duel with some Of its advocates,
but told the big gathering that
the House would pass the measure.
but the Senate would kill 1t. And
these things came to pass.
Ryan forecast "a votes against
the bill In the Senate. Actually
there were "a votes registered as
opposed.
1T was this way" explained
Ryan. Two smart boys who
were regarded as favOring the
bill were q little smarter than
we thought. They saw the hand
writing on the wall and 80 climbed
on the band.wagon, regardless OF
how some Of their "behind-the.
scene" leaders protested.
at was q great fight anyway con.
cludes Ryan and the defeat OF
the bill must be credited not only
to the senators who voted against
It, but to Commissioned Cor
nelius Danaher, who opposed 1t
at the public hearing and 70 Sena-
tor Joseph M. NELL Of Watertown,

Senate prior TO the roll-call ballot

tude tests will be given and inter-

quirement Is that the applicant

Three students will be assigned

tons are approved. II Is believed
that the first graduates" will be
ready to take routes by the first or
second week In June. Some Of the
women may be assigned as Tex
tras" taking whatever routes demand
increased service at the time, al
though they will serve under reg
ular schedules. Women will be paid
at the same rate as men both for
the training period and during the
regular employment
Although the need OF additional
drivers Is not considered Critical"
at the present time, a shortage is
anticipated for next winter. and SUI
ficient women drivers are expected
to be hired by then TO Offset any
disruption OF service.
Instructors for the training will
