WILL MOTIONS AIRED FRIDAY
AtChisOn Arguments to Be Heard By Judge King at
 Short Calendar

Claims will be made by counsel for the estate of the late Lawrence Atchison of Middlehury that the appeal instituted in superior court by two of his children was not made properly and that the court has no Jurisdiction, according to motion for dismissal filed in the court. Arguments on the motion will be heard at Q short calendar session Friday afternoon before Judge John Fl. King.
 The motion points out that the two children, Margaret and Alden, are minors and states they had no capacity in law to act as indiVidu- als. It IS claimed the appeal was not taken by o guardian or person Of full age acting for the minors, and also that Q proper and sufhcient bond, as required by statute, was not furnished.
 It is claimed further that ap- pointment of the children's mother as guardian ad Item during the first trial has not altered the sltu- ation. The motion states the court twas without Jurisdiction to supply the lack of Jurisdiction" and that It did not acquire Jurisdiction by virtue of the order appointing Q guardian.
 Two other motions, one to eX- punge and the other to strike out portions of the children's substituted reasons of appeal, also will be argued Friday.

SEVERAL NOVELS
 ARE REVIEWED
Father Kennedy Discusses Two Seventeenth Century !, Books Among Others

Books by American authors were discussed last night by Rev. John 5. Kennedy, associate editor Of the Catholic Transcript, in the second in a series of four lectures at the Waterbury Catholic High school auditorium.
 Two of these have English set. tings in part and deal with i7th century England. They are Mar" garet Brent, Adyenturer," by Dor- othy Fremont Grant and "ForeVef Amber" by Kathleen Winsor. The first deals with the start of the Maryland colony in this country and It's central character is the forceitl character of Margaret Brent. This book, Father Kennedy rates aB good but not good enough historically sound but not too eXs pertly written. The second book of this century, he sums up aS an endless book, that iS having spec. tacular advertising, which viii be widely read and discussed, that has no literary skill, md which in his opinion adds up to trash"
 Two books dealing with the American Civil War period that were analysed by Father Kennedy were Deep River" by Henrietta Buckmaster, q story which Just pre- cedes the war, the setting in deor. gia, and "Freedom Road" by How ard Fast, after the war in 1867. Both of these books, he said approached the subject in e different way than most noveiists have done, both well written and valuable in their sub- ject matter.
 Books modern in scene and char. ncter which Father Kennedy ana- tyzed were Boston Adventure by Jean Stafford with c Boston back ground and which takes on c little of the character of "A Tree Grows ln Brooklyn, and any of John Mar qlandS Boston novels, "They Dare Not Go A.Hunting," by Dorothea Cornwell, and briefly Earth and High Heaven, dealing with the Afatisemitic question. Tn the first two mentioned in this group the insanity Of two characters form an Important part. iri the former some exceptionally fine writing in the dc. eeription Of an insane asylum.
 Father Kennedy stated that "Bos. ton Adventure" had two good fea. tiires, the picture Of childhood, and the picture Of the insane asylum. 'SThey Dare Not Go A-Huntlng," he said, was objectionable on c mum. Dor of counts.
 Tn his lecture next Monday night Father Kennedy will talk on bio- is chairman of the lecture series, sponsored by the Waterbury Coun- cil Of Catholic Women, which is largely attended.

point. Speeds either above or be- low this figure will reduce the num- ber of vehicles which can use the highway safely and economically.
 "As speed increases, MT. Enc said, safety requires that the dis- tance between vehicles must also be increased. The faster vehicle goes, the less time 1t take to cover Q given distance. But what both public and business interests want is to pass the largest number Of vehicles possible over 0 road in a given time-with safety"
 How important this question IS in postwar planning was pointed up by Charles M. Uphain, Engineer.Di- rector of the American Road Build. CTS Association and viee-president of the Enc Foundation.
 "The nations social and business iiSe," said Mir. Uphain, "is built around the motor vehicle. Before the war, some seven million persons were employed in the general field of highway transportation. Yet, by md large, highway construction has been treated as Q necessary evil, Studies of the U. 8. Public Roads Administration have def11s onstrated that before the war even, our highways were wearing out fas- ter than we were building them"
 From the files of the Enc Foun- dalton 1t was pointed out that traf- fic deaths in the United States, even with wartime decrease m travel, totalled only slightly less than the deaths in England from German air raids during the same period.
 ham said, "40o0 lives were lost in the traffic accidents of his country almost as many as the number Of American servicemen Killed in the first two-and-a-quarter years or the present World War"

when the country needs young, vig- orous men, Q man who doesn't know 1t all or pretends that he knows 1t oil, but who gathers his wisdom from others, who must of necessity, from intimate contact, know more than he."
 Under Dewey's leadership, he said, "the vast number of unneceB- sary bureaus in the national cap- itol will be decentraliZed or abol- ished.
