STATE INSPECTORS
 TO AID MOTORISTS
Stoeckel Using New Group in
 Big Brother Movement

A force of state inspectors carry ing the idea of more suasion into automobile law enforcement and a cooperative movement for uniform traffic management are two meth ods now being used to secure better highway conditions in Connecticut, according to an article written for the monthly bulletin of the motor vehicle department by Commission CT Robbins B. Stoeckel. Consider able progress under both plans IS reported in the article.
 The formation of an inspection section of the motor vehicle depart ment, says the commissioner, was based on a policy of helpfulness to the motoring public. Tt is not set up as a police force to perform po lice duties. It is rather g, sort of big brother movement by which, as appears necessary, some phase or other of the traffic problem in the states may be. made normal through the work of the inspectors.
 
 Cooperative state wide effort to effect uniformity of regulation and management follows the same gen. eral policy, he explains, The state inspectors, the state police, city and town officers and police. and in many cases the public, work to- gether to overcome difficulties. State inspectors are assisting in many specific traffic plans where cooper ation has been requested by local authorities. Local authorities also cooperate with the state in special equipment examinations, tests, and general inspection work.
 Inspectors Have Many Duties
 The varied duties of the state in- spectors are discussed in the article. In explaining particular work, the commissioner points out that the in- Spectors may be called upon to do almost anything in connection with administrative activities. Duties vary from day to day. Many in spcctions are conducted into speci- fic cases relating to motor vehicles Examinations are given to prospec- tive operators when special tests, in addition to those given by the state police examiners, are needed.
