Policemen 10 Present
Traffic Court Cases
One Day a Week

POllcemen Will be assigned one
day a week to present their traffic
cases in Municipal Court after Jan.
uary l, Inspector Arthur E. Miller
of the Police Traffic Bureau has in.
formed the District Traffic Court
Conference. The announcement was
made yesterday at meeting of the
conference in the Municipal Center
Policemen now appear in court
three or four days week testifyine
in cases when they should be or
their beats, it was stated.
Inspector Miller, in letter to the
conference, said that preliminary
work was being done now and he
believed the new system would &c
into effect January l.
The conference, after adopting 6
resolution praising the Washington
newspapers for publishing the mum.
ber of traffic tickets adjusted eact
week, said there might still be some
loop.loles in the system and ap.
pointed a committee to investigate
the situation.
Assurance to Public.
The conference said it did not in
tend Ito stick their noses" into police
work, but believed that the public
should be assured that all traffic
tickets are accounted for. 1t was
said that the number Of adjustments
had been cut down since the news
papers started publishing the stats
tics, but the conference wanted to
know how out-of-town drivers, espe-
cially from Maryland and Virginia
were treating their tickets.
The proposal that Traffic Direc-
tor George E. Keneipp made to the
Commissioners that changes be
made in the Board of Revocation
and Suspension of Drivers Permits
was discussed. A resolution was
adopted that hearing be held be-
fore suspension or revocation be
given any driver.
At present traffic violators are
served notice that their permits
have been suspended or revoked
after court trial or forfeiture OF
collateral and the drivers then must
make appeals from the rulings.
Under the plan of Mr.. Keneipp, a
person who is convicted or who
forfeits collateral would be brought
into the Traffic Department for a
hearing. Some opposition was made
to this plan because it was believed
it would be fairer to the driver If
he appeared before a board rather
than before one man.
Necessity for Tests.
Clark Diamond, assistant cor
poration counsel attached to Mu-
nicipal Court, said it was almost
to obtain convictions on
drunken driving charges without
chemical tests. He said he was not
in favor of compulsory tests, but
that voluntary tests we're sometimes
beneficial to defendants. A COM
mitee will be appointed to stress be-
fore Congress the necessity for the
test.
The conference also recommended
that money be appropriated for
salaries for additional teachers in
driving in the high schools.
The conference said it was be-
lieved that no real effort had been
made to sell the plan to the school
officials or the Commissioners and
recommended that this be done.
School officials said that the driver
training course was now expert
mentally used in the schools and
they could not give an answer as
to its effectiveness until the expert
ment was completed.
It was decided to appoint a COM
mittee to confer with school officials
and the Commissioners on the need
for the course and to follow it
through to Congress.

Heafner Tops Colonial
As His Fine Putting
Marks 81 Round
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

FORT WORTH, Tex, May 28.-
The SIS, 900 Colonial National Invi-
tation golf tournament moved into
its second round today with the Sc

In yesterdays opening 18 holes. 1t
came through some of the best putt
ing ever seen on Colonial Country
Clubs sweeping 6.635-yard course as
Heafner snatched the lead at the
tag end Of the round.
The big blond man from the
South was one of six who bettered
par for the day-the best showing in
the opening round in the three-year
history of the Colonial tournament.
A stroke behind Heafner were
Chandler Harper of Portsmouth,
Va; Herman Keiser Of Akron, Ohio;
Toney Penna of Cincinnati and
George Schoux of Mamaroneck,
NY. The latter missed a hole-in-
one on No. Is by a fraction OF an
inch as his tee shot edged past the
cup. Heafner's luck was better. At
No. 4 he had 3l2-foot putt for a
birdie and the ball hung on the
edge for what he estimated to be
at least two minutes before fall
Ing in.
Heatner was out Of action for a
