NEW WAY OF, TACKLING DRUNK
DRIVER MENACE
Bv BRUCE CATION


The most dangerous man Ill America
these DAYS, is the man who gets oehlnd the
steering wheel of an automobile wnlle
nIaving host to a skinful of liquor. AEd
the most difficult thing is to devise some
fooIproef way to take such man out from
behind the steering wheel and put HIM De-
hind the bars.
The smartest idea along this line comes
from commission recently appointed Ey
Navor LaGuardia, of New York, to study
the matter. This commission suggests that
all we need to do is to change our traffic
codes so that, instead of penallzng the
man who drives while intoxicated they
penalize the man who drives while under
the influence of liquor
That change may seem unimportant. Ac-
tually, it might be the solution to the whole
problem because it gets entirely around
that vexing and unanswerable old question,
'When is man drunk?' g.
As things stand now, before drunken
driver can be punished the police have
to prove that he was, in fact, drunk; and II
you have ever had your nose inside court
of law, you will understand that this can
be remarkably difficult thing to do
That is why statistics about anto traffic
accidents fail to reveal the real extent OF
the menace of the drunken driver For In
stance; CHARLES A Harnett, motor vericle
commissioner of New York state, points
out that less than l per cent of the states
serious auto accidents last year involved
drunken drivers Yet Commission Hart
nett himself insists that the drunken drive
is the most serious menace on the road to
day. ...:,-. e..
The driver who causes an accident ma!
have been as stiff as plank at;the time
but unless the police can prove that ne wa
stiff, he is finally charged with speeding
or reckless driving, or some other slmha
infraction, and his drunkenness never ap
pears on the record at all.
Hence the suggested change. iDontre
quire the police to prove that the maj
was drunk; let them prove, simply, tina
he was under the influence of liquor. rhel
the hair-brained citizen who insists on tax
ing the wheel after inhaling halt a dozel
highballs could be made to pay the penalty
For unless man was actually unable U
stand up, it is almost impossible Tor you
prove that he was drunk. You can prov
that he had a lot of liquor in him; you ca
prove that his eyes were goggllng,; that nj
breath was strong, that his legs were un
steady, that his speech was blurred Du
his lawyer will contend that he was merel
under the influence, not actually drunk
and in nine cases out of 10 the jury WI
string along. - ''.'..
Let the law once recognize the indispu'
able fact that a driver under the influene
of liquor is as dangerous as maniac wit
a razor, and We might have some chaHe
of whiting this menace down to its prope
size.

 ' Streets PerllOus
 From the first days of the cole ony the people of Connecticut have been quick to unite their ef- forts whenever 1t has been neces- sary for the common good. Our ingenuity and resourcefulness have likewise been subjects of re- current national comment. But in recent years we have not as 6 community given sufficient atten- ton to the solution of Q problem affecting all of us--the motor ve- hicle accident situation. We have neglected, individually and collec- lively, our responsibility. We have allowed our streets and highways to become place of peril for those who use them. As result there has been a steadily increasing lumber of accidents annually, reaching in 1885 new high total of 4e0 persons killed and iS,0e7 in- jured.
 Though many in the state are aroused to the seriousness of the situation, 1t cannot be too force- fully emphasized that in this mat ter everyone ha So personal rec sponsibility. Every highway user, every driver, every pedestrian, should resolve to observe all traf- flo laws, to extend the courtesies of the road and SO conduct him- self and his vehicle that he may not cause on accident or become involved in one.
 It is of primary importance that there be stricter enforcement of the laws now existing for the reg ulation of highway travel.
 There should be complete co. operative action for the elimina. ton of motor vehicle accidents. That there may be @ central co. ordinating agency for this purpose, I have appointed e commission on street and highway safety. This body will study all phases of the problem and take such action as may be necessary to effect im- provement. In order that It's rec- concentrations may have the ap- proval of Q majority of the peo- pie, the commission will welcome any suggestions or information bearing on the subject.
 In the interests of public well fare and safety, I call upon the people of Connecticut to support the commission in an intensive effort to reduce to 6 minimum moter vehicle accidents. urge urge that the whole subject, stress ing individual responsibility, be given attention In appropriate manner, in churches, schools, and public meetings throughout the state"

SENATE PROBE OF
 MUNITIONS ENDS

Washington, Feb. 2l-(UP)-The two-year-old, $l32,360 senate muni- tions investigation faded into his- tory today, but to its sponsors re- mained the task of boiling down a record piled high with startling tales of the international arms traf- fic. Tall, dark haired Chairman Gerald P. Nye, r., N. D., deploring the lack of time and funds that forced the inquiry to a conclusion, predicted 8 final report would be made to the senate by March IS. It will summarize results of the inves- tigation since public hearings began in September, 1894, and set forth arguments for legislation to regulate the vast munitions industry.
 Famous Men In Probe
 Since that uncomfortably warm day when Nye first called his com- mittee to order, the names of many famous men, living and dead, have figured in the inquiry-Sir Basil zaharoff, Eurcpe's mystery man." King George V, President Woodrow WllSOn, J. F. Morgan, bernaro M. Baruch, the Du Fonts, and scores of others. Bribery, graft, huge profits lobbying, treaty violations, war time financing, smuggling, plans for taking profits out of war;" and hundreds of other subjects were covered in the bulky record.
 Could Go On Forever
 "The study of the munitions in. dustry," Nye said, "is one which could go on forever. Every phase we have explored has opened new avenues of investigation which, un- fortunately cannot continue. How ever, the committee feels that 1t has reached a point now where 1t can count the inquiry well rounded and complete" Nye said the investiga- ton would not be reopened unless the committee discovered it had not fully carried out all provisions of the senate resolution under which it was created.
