The leagues present home
on First street Sc. is part Of
the property acquired by the
Capitol Hill Associates, Inc,
in 1850 with the expectation
that it would be the site Of q
G. o. P. national center. The
proposed center, however, has
never materialized.
The Capitol Hill headquar-
tiers have never been large
enough for the leagues regu-
lar sessions. And meetings of
the study groups for some
time have been held at the
American Newspaper Wom-
ems Club and at the Ameri-
can Association of University

The latter, however, is no
longer available since the
AAUW is putting up a new
educational center which isn't
ready yet for occupancy.
No definite date has been
set for the move from the

said.

A national program to pro-
mote safer driving by teen
agers-based on reciprocity
with parents - has been
launched by Pilot Interna-
tional, q classified service
organization for executive
business and professional
women.
Teen-agers and their par
ents are being asked to sign
Contracts for Safety" as
reciprocal agreements.
The young driver signs a
Contract for Safety" and
pledges to use the car only
on occasions approved by the
parents; to pay for gasoline
used; to transport no more
passengers than the recon-
mended number: and to be
responsible for returning the
car in good driving condition.
In return. the parents sign
an agreement to practice
safety and courtesy in their
own driving and to set an
example for their children.
I'VE feel that this is a posi-
tive approach to the teen
age driving problem" says

warned Italy yesterday against
installing NATO rocket bases

The warning was in a note

The Italians rejected an
earlier protest against the
Italians decision to permit the
United States to set up missile
bases in their country.
In q friendlier new tone, the
Soviets proposed that the
Italians join a zone Of de-
nuclearization in conjunction
with other Balkan and Adriatic
countries.

rocket bases on Italy's soil in
