JaywaIkine Arrests
Cut Accident Rate

Traffic accidents involving pedes-
trians declined in direct ratio to
sharp increase in the number of ar
rests for jaywalking during Febru-
airy, Inspector Arthur E. Miller of
the traffic squad announced today.
With the assignment Of motor
cycle policemen to supplement un-
mounted officers enforcing pedes-
trian-control regulations, arrests
this month-mostly in the down.
town area-increased more than 300
per cent over January, police said.
Pedestrian accidents dropped from
an average of 35 to 81 a week during
that period, Inspector Miller de-
clared.
Police have long agreed that no
traffic violator protests as loud and
as long as pedestrian when handed
a ticket, according to Inspector
Miller. Yet, out of more than LOO
persons ticketed for jaywalking this
month, Municipal Court records
show, only one appeared in court to
contest the charge.
He was Walter Relihan, of CLOS
Fifty-seventh avenue, East River
dale, Md. Judge Nathan D. Margold
dismissed jaywalking charge
against him February 8 when he
convinced the court that he had
been caught in the middle of the
street when traffic lights changed.
