Buckley Seeks
Rehearine in
Appea|sCourt
Asserts Agreement
Wos Made TO Drop
Drunk Driving Case

In asking the United States
Court OF Appeals today for a re-
hearing of the case of Attorney NJ.
Edward Buckley. lr, charged in
Police Court with driving while
drunk, Defense Attorney Charles A.
Schaffer said that If the appellate
courts decision, requiring trial OF
his client, stands. 1T will be i'm
possible for defendant to rels on
any agreement of the corporation
counsel"
Frequently. Mr.. Schaeffer told the
court in his motion for rehearing
these agreements are made because
the evidence In the more serious
case is weak. and II is the desire Of
the corporation counsel 10 dispose
OF the case by plea TO a minor
offense.
There should be no question in
the courts mind that In the pres
ent case there was distinct agree
ment between the corporation coun-
eel and the appellee CMr Buckley
10 dispose OF the more serious case
by permitting plea to the lesser
offense," asserted Mr.. Schaeffer,
pointing out that "this has been
done on numerous occasions"
1T is the opinion of the appellee
tMr. Buckley that the offense Of
driving on the wrong side of the
street and the offense of driving
while intoxicated are offenses which
are the outgrowth of one identical
act" declared Mr.. Schaeffer.
There can be no question that
the driving on the wrong side of the
street could be the result Of driving
while intoxicated. The charges,
while important TO the appellee. are
IN themselves very minor offenses.
Literally hundreds of them are ham
died In the Police Court every year.
THAT which was done In this case
has been done on numerous occa-
xions before by the corporation eoun-
sci. Due to outside pressure, and
outside pressure only, was the ap-
pellee (Mr. Buckley charged again
with the offense of driving while
intoxicated"

little success in last nights test

control center was concerned.
Under the system yellow" sig
nal, designed to set civilian defense
activities in motion, is flashed to two
control centers. Each of the centers
then relays the message to desig-
mated pair of deputy warden head
quarters, who in turn pass the in
formation of two more. The proc.
ess is continued until the entire
Metropolitan Area is notified.
At the Lincoln Park center, To-
Gated in Kingsman School, the
emphasis was placed on communi-
cations. In addition to a police
radio, the headquarters is equipped
with a telephone switchboard con-
nected to 10 telephones and has di-
rect lines to Chief Air Raid Warden
Clement Murphy's office and to each
of the six zone posts.
