Show Coeds Display Driving Talent for Army Work HARTFORD, CONN. Connecticut coeds soon may be driving army trucks bearing out a prediction o Motor Vehicles Commissioner Michael Mi-chael A. Connor that "properly trained women could safely and efficiently ef-ficiently operate heavy army transport trans-port trucks ranging in weights up to 2 tons." Connor's conclusion was formed after an experiment conducted at New Britain Teachers college. Woman students who had completed complet-ed a safe driving course conducted by the motor vehicles department took part in the test. "The general performance was such,", said Commissioner Connor, "that we were satisfied carefully selected women, properly trained, could well substitute for men in the operation of these types of army vehicles." |
