 and educate the cltys school chil dren and adults in the methods ol general safety measures Co be ac. complished by means Of the estab. llshment of a speakers bureau mem- hers of which win give various cd. visory lecturers throughout the city. Press and radio representatives likewise will be included within this branch of the central committee for purposes of discriminating edu. cational publicity.
 Perhaps what win be the most active branch of the committee win be the enforcement group comprised Of police personnel who win place into enforcement the recoImEuenda- tions of the committee. This group will concentrate principally on traf- fic hazards and the simplification of vehicular and pedestrian traffic problems as they exist today.
 Thlrd Branch !.
 The third branch of the commit tee, the engineering branch, will consist of personnel of the city's engineering department and plan- ming commission authorities whose duties will center on compiling of tangible surveys of the city's traffic conditions In relation to Water bury's terrain and physical aspects.
 The close coordination of these three committees. it Is expected. will result in the ability to formulate and maintain a general program and system of effective safety control. with it intimidation of pedestrian and vehicular dangers, for Water bury.
 One of the active results of the establishment Of the now defunct Safety Council. organized in i935. was a traffic survey compiled by the ". P. A. which together with the surveys made of Waterburys terrain and related traffic problems as compiled within recent years by Theodore Scott-Smith city planning engineer and members of the city planning commission and surveys of the Connecticut Highway Commis- sion will offer to the newly organiz- cd committee a comprehensive basis for establishment of a general safe- ty program.
 Following the creation of the old committee various outside author ities were brought to Waterbury to advise in the setting up of the city's accident prevention bureau and to instruct in measures to be adopted for a general safety program. Auth critics such as Harold Hammond of the national conservation bureau and Lieut.. Kummel of the state poe lice were among the advisors, the latter is an instructor of police on traffic problem.
 The original committee was pre- sided over by John Burial as chair man and Frank Green, of the local Chamber of Comm cree, as secretary. Among the committee members were; Supt. of Parks. James Curtin; Atty. Prank Healey: Charley Al- len; Fred Loehmann: William Roach James Little and William Dwyer Of the police department. Miss Ann Pagan of the school department. var ious members Of the clergy and others.
 It was not stated today just when the new committee will hold its first Organizational meeting but comple- tion of its personnel Is expected soon.

Divorce Laws

WASHINGTON, May 26. CUP)-
Rep. Maurice j. Sullivan CD New
ada, has assailed a proposed con-
Stitutional amendment which would
limit marriage and divorce proceed
ures as wrong in principle" anC
objectionable because "it by-passes
congress entirely"
Speaking in the house, he COM
pared the proposal with the since
repealed prohibition amendment in
that it "seeks to write an unchange-
able statute into our body of law
that will be irrepealable and self
enforcing"
The amendment, sponsored by
Rep. Norris Poulson (R) Calf,
would ban remarriage after divorce
in any state outsite or original
state of residence except with con-
sent of the original state. Consent
of the state of original residence
would be needed before either party
could obtain an out-of-state divorce.

CAREER COMES TO END

In TIE passing of Harold Bell Wright,
the nation notes the closing of one of the
outstanding characters among American
writer's His was one of the most prolific
pens and his more than a score of novels
have "clicked'. He changed vocations
thrice. From printer to preacher to writ
er. He never deviated from his chosen
field-tales with morals. Right always
.won, wrong always conquered. Here in
Imperial Valley his memory will be cher
sished more particularly because here
he lived while writing what some hold
as his masterpiece, "The Winning of Bar
bara Worth" The valley country was
the setting for that novel.
He lived the life of what may be called
an eccentric. Ever wishful to be far from
the swiftly moving patterns of life, yet
he wrote of just that-life. He lived
full life He will be remembered long.

Escapee FeIons
Get Life Terms

JACKSON, Miss, May 26. (UPo-
Three convicts who escaped from
San Quentin prison in California
last winter, fled across the nation
and staged a reign of crime and ter
ror in the south, accepted life sem
tences for armed robbery of hotel
rather than risk a possible death
sentence in prolonged jury trials.
The three were Lawrence Motari,
Red Hawk, Mont, Ray Drake, Okla
homa City. and Ralph Ward, who
escaped from San Quentin Dec. 26.
They again escaped from the coun-
,ty Jail here on Feb. 26 while wait
ing trial for the armed robbery
of the Robert E. Lee hotel, and ter
rorized North Mississippi with rob-
berries, shootings, and kidnapingS
before they were captured at Green
wood two days later.
The three decided to plead guilty
and throw themselves on the mercy
of the court as the jury prepared
to retire to deliberate the guilt of
Drake
