DRUNK HIKERS
 GREAT MENACE
Motor Vehicle COnimis- siOner COnnOr Calls
 Them Worst Hazard

Hartford, Conn, July T-(UP)- Intoxicated pedestrians present Q greater trefiic hazard than drunken drivers, State Motor Vehicle Com. missioner Michael A. Connor re- ported today in 6 five months study of drinking as . contributing factor in highway fatalities. There was an increase of 8 1-3 per cent fin the number of intoxicated pedestrians killed during the first i've months of this year as compared with the corresponding period last year, he said. Of 6 total of 06 killed or inc jured, the four largest cities-aart- ford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury contributed OO individ. liais, or D7,0 per cent.
 Cause Mere Trouble
 "Connecticut is having and will have more trouble with intoxicated pedestrians than with operators under the influence or bordering on that condition since very little control is exercised over foot trafiic which contributes 50 much to the hazards confronting motor vehicle operators on our highways" Connor said.
 He said the study disclosed an ir- crease of i02 per cent in the number of drunken drivers. This, however, included border line" cases, or fine dividuals who medical men refused to pronounce intoxicated but who, because of their admitted drinking. were unsafe operatorg'." The actual increase in intoxicated drivers, he said, excluding the border line eases was 33.9 per cent, and he termed the inclugiori of border line cases mot q .ether a fair comparison"
