Officers "Crack
Down" On Drunks
BY DUKE WILLIAMS
United Press Staff Correspondent


PHOENIX, March 19 - (UP) -
Warned of authorities "crack down"
policy for drunk drivers, motorists
of Maricopa county are more wary
of mixing drinks and driving.
More stringent traffic regulation
has been ordered by three law en-
forcement agencies-the state high
way patrol, the sheriff's office, and
the city police.
With Arizona highway death al
ready ahead of the corresponding
death roll of 1886, and apparently
headed toward a record-smashlng
total, authorities have ordered spe-
cial efforts against drunk and reck-
less drivers, and are seeking new
safety ideas.
Latest plan was that OF Sheriff
Roy Merrill who announced organ
ization of a traffic accident and
enforcement bureau"
Both city and county officers have
been ordered to fix responsibility for
all accidents, if possible, and proffer
charges against those responsible In
each case.
The state patrol has redoubled e1-
forts to end drunk driving, and Tom
Humans, patrol superintendent, an
nounced that the menace was de-
clining.
More than so persons were jailed
on drunk driving charges in the
state during less than 60 days OF
frightened enforcement, it was re-
ported, sharp increase over the
enforcement figures of 1886, when
256 were Jailed during the entire
year

a sport engaged in by millions of
men, and those in the camps
should be allowed to participate
in it if they desire.

organization has received scores of
letters from those in the camps,
asking that they be instructed in
shooting or allowed to bring their
own rifles and construct ranges.
