Star-News Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
BY HENRY AVERILL


RALEIGH, Oct. 19.-There moi
only ought to be a law, but there
is one which makes it the duty OF
all officers investigating highway
traffic accidents to make reports
to the state highway safety divi.
sion; but in practically a dozen in.
stances of fatal accidents in Sep.
tember the officers have ignored
the statute for such cases made
and provided.
That's why the safety division is
often badly handicapped in keeping
accurate statistics on accidents.
Director Ronald Hocutt and his
aides have been active in trying to
educate investigating officers but
results have been nothing like what
they have a right to expect.
Not only has the division found it
necessary to rely on newspaper
clippings and reports of the bureau
of vital statistics, but it has often
found it impossible to get any an.
swers to its inquiries addressed to
officers known to have Investigated
wrecks or who should have knowl-
edge of them, even if they did not
actually do the investigating.
Perhaps the most glaring exam
pie OF complete ignoring of the law
was given in. September by Sheriff
W. j. Pinnen of Warren county, ac-
cording to the divisions records.
A newspaper account of fatal
accident in the Elberon section of
Warren county on the Louisburg-
Warrenton highway relates that the
sheriff was an eye witness. He
has made no report of the crash,
the divisions only records being
the news story and a notice of
death from the bureau of vital
statistics.
Here are other characteristic ex-
amples of complete disregard of
the law and of requests for re-
ports:
During the month two were
killed in wreck near Cary (eight
miles from the capitoD. News
stories said that Highway Patrol
man j. V. Barrow Investigated.
The division of highway safety
wrote him for information on Oc-
tober 7, but still has had no reply.
One was killed and six injured in

Sergeant Bennett also reported
the enlistment of Floyd J. Harrel-
son, 81, son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. w.
Harrelson, of Cerro Gordo, in the
medical corps at Fort Bragg.
An unlimited quota of vacancies
for the sixth field artillery, medi-
cal corps, and quartermaster corps
at Fort Bragg was reported by
Sergeant Bennett, who said young
men may apply for the openings
if they are between 18 and IS
years of age, single, and with an
average education.
ALI enlistments are for three
years, he said, and men over 21
must present their registration
card to the recruiting officer be-
fore being accepted for enlist
ment. !

Many Officers Found Ignoring
Law On Reporting OF Accidents

wan county. No report has beer
received from any official source
One was killed and nine were IN
jured in wreck mile east O
Enka on the Asheville- Canton high
way. A letter to Sergeant W. M
Nail Of the highway patrol, writer
October Z, is still unanswered.
Fatal accidents in Avery, neal
Newlands, and in Richmond, near
old Mizpah church, were picked
UP only through newspaper &C
counts. ~
A newspaper account of fatal
wreck in Wake county said: Estate
highway patrolmen are still
searching for driver of the death
car" Highway safety division of.
ficials are still searching for re-
port from highway patrolmen on
the accident.
A fatal crash at Martin Nc
Dowen crossroads in the Philadel.
phus section of Robson county
was, according to news accounts,
cause for an inquest by Coroner
D. W. Biggs. He was asked, by
letter of September 26, for infor-
nation, but has not yet given the
safety division any reply at all.
Coroner Roy Banks of Wake
county was asked on September 26
to furnish information about a ia
tai crash near Mount Holly, but
though his office is in Raleigh, no
answers have been received.
Corporal M. H. Dunn of the state
highway patrol has not answered
a request from the division, dated
September 26, for some informa-
ton regarding a fatal wreck at
Mooresville in Iredell county.
Highway Patrolman j. j. Stew
art appears to have ignored a re-
quest for data on a fatal wreck in
Gastonia. 1t was written on Sep
tember 26.
Highway safety division officials
declare that they have stopped at
tempting to list the number of per-
sons injured in highay accidents.
Official reporting is so lax, it is
contended, that injury figures are
nothing more or less than guesses.
The law, however, is explicit in
requiring not only the law enforce
ment officials, but every driver in
volved in a wreck in which there
is injury or property damage
above $40 to make the proper re-
port on the required forms.
