MOTORISTS WILL
 HAVE HARD TIME

New Haven, Conn, June 5--(UP. Hereafter it's going to be tougher for motorists to "beat the rap" in police court. Judges Raymond J. Devlin and Joseph Weiner have in- structed policemen to prefer only . blanket charge of motor vehicle violation" when making an arrest, leaving the specific charge to be determined by the court. AS result 1t was expected there would be fewer escapes from punishment on tech- nicaf grounds.
 The move was made after WPA trafslc survey disclosed only 3l per cent of motor vehicle arrests re- suited in convictions and only one half of one per cent of the offenders were jailed.
 Tn the future, the prosecutor will determine the exact charge against the offender.
