Studies from Massachusetts and Delaware indicate trained drivers have far fewer violations, accidents, or warnings, suggesting driver education reduces traffic deaths and injuries and warrants broader school adoption.

Iran Can’t Stop War Time Oil Output Says General
Maj. Gen. W. O. Reeder in Washington said Iran’s refinery output of 500000 barrels daily would be hard to maintain but 200000 barrels daily could be sourced from Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. He warned U S would ration products to aid the United Kingdom if Iranian production halted while India would feel the impact on cooking kerosene. He noted an all out program would be easy with a telephone and guts to order contractors to boost output.

Wisconsin Senate Defeats Kohler on Dividend Tax Move
In Madison, Wisconsin, the GOP controlled Senate voted to reenact the three percent privilege dividend tax, denying Gov. Kohler’s plan to repeal it. Democrats opposed Kohler, while Republicans kept the tax, arguing it preserved state revenues and funded localities, and undermined the governor's broader reform.
