S19O|N CAR CRASH
Former Head of A. +. G. E.
Has mo Recollection" of
Alexandria Accident.

E. Claude Babcock, former preSi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Government Employees, was fined 500
for driving while drunk and $50 for
colliding at hearing in Alexandria,
va.,. today before United States Com
missioner John Barton Phillips.
Babcock was arrested near New
Alexandria on the night Of October
81 by park police after his car had
been in collision with one driven by
Donald r. Jack Of Alexandria.
Commissioner Phillips quashed .
third count of leaving after colliding.
The charges had been preferred by
Park Policemen j. E. Shawhan and E.
B. Cullember, who were the witnesses
against Babcock today.
Shawhan said he and cullember
were first attracted by the speed which
Babcock's car was making and that
they followed him for 1 miles at . rate
between 10 and IS miles an hour.
The crash took place during this pur-
suit.
Shawhan, in response to . question,
said:
II would say he was under the in
fluence of liquor In fact, I took q
bottle of whisky out Of his right hip
pocket"
The bottle was introduced in evi-
dence.
Cullember corroborated shawhan's
testimony.
Babcock, pleading not guilty, told
the commissioner he had no recollec-
ton of what had happened. He said
he had never seen the bottle before.
Under questioning by. his attorney,
Raymond Gittleman, Babcock ex-
planned that he was In Ill health as
the result Of war injuries and other
complications, and that he had "pe.
riods of this type before" refer
ring obviously to occasions when his
illness caused lapse Of memory.
Babcock said, however, that he had
never had any trafic difficulties be-
fore during such spells.
At the conclusion Of his testimany
Babcock attempted to introduce Is
a character witness his pastor, Rev.
Simpson B. Daugherty. but Com
missioner Phillips declined to allow
this.
The commissioner then said he
would fix the fine for driving while
intoxicated and for colliding, but that
he was dropping the count on leaving
the scene as Babcock's condition
probably was responsible for that.
The fine was paid.
