Automobile Shortage Stalls
Schools Drver-1raining
Dealers Hesitate
To Lend Cars
Due to Taxes

The District schools driver
training program Is stalled.
Because of a shortage of auto
mobiles, many high and voca-
tional school pupils enrolled in
the course this semester will not
get their required minimum of
six hours behind the wheel
unless their teachers work over
time. morning, noon and night"
Stumbling block. according to
the schools and the American
Automobile Association, which
work together in the program, is
the tax situation. If a dealer
lends an automobile to the
schools for use in the classes, he
has to pay the sales tax, excise
taxes and District registration
EcoSts-a total Of about 500.
Dr.. Carl F. Hansen, assistant
school superintendent, said the
program has IA teachers and
needs IA cars. Today three were
delivered, bringing the total on
hand to six. -Four more are
promised.
Teaching Theory
The teachers have been giving
Itheortical work in the class
rooms so far this semester. DR..
Hansen said. If each of the
674 students enrolled in the
course is to get practical ex-
lperience. he said, the promised
cars viii have to come quickly
and the teachers will have to
give instruction on their own
time.
George Hammond, manager of
traffic safety for the AAA, said
Prince Georges and Montgom-
cry Counties ran into the same
problem earlier, but now have
enough cars.
The AAA will hold a luncheon
In the Mayhower Hotel tomor-
row honoring the dealers who
have loaned their cars for the

First On Oct. Z
The first car for the city pro-
gram was delivered October 7
to Western High School and
lBurdick Vocational, which share
la teacher and a vehicle.
Dunbar High School and the
combination Of Bell and Cham
berlain Vocational Schools have
Ialso received cars.
Today cars were delivered to
lAnacostia, Coolidge and Nc
lKinley High Schools. The schools
that have cars may have to give
them up to those without so all
lstudents can get some training.
A bin which would relieve the
dealers Of the car-sale taxes on
vehicles they lend the schools
was introduced late in the last
session Of Congress. 1t passed
the House, but was crowded out
lof Senate consideration by the
iciosing rush.
Shortage Called Critical

But the insurance companies
which give special rates to school,

for those without the full num-
Der of hours of experience. he
said.
The problem has come up in
