Judge Myers Report Finds
Alcoholics Social Problem

After two months Of presiding
over drunk court" here. Judge
Frank H. Myers has concluded
the question of alcoholics should
be treated as a social problem
and not one solely for criminal
punishment"
Tabulating the results OF his
first criminal court assignment
since he was appointed to Mu-
nicipal Court last year. Judge
Myers revealed that. from June
6 to August S., intoxication cases
totaled 1886. of which 485 or
nearly IS per cent were second
offenders.
Judge Myers pointed out in his
report to Chief Judge George p.
Barse that he still is trying an
experiment. If it is the defend
ants first appearance before
Judge Myers, he receives a sus-
pended sentence and a warning
that, if he returns on the same
charge before the same judge. a
double-size penalty will fall.
The judge conceded he was un-
able to make any comparisons as
to the effectiveness Of his sentenc-
ing methods.
But" he declared. "if this
method resulted in preventing
even only a few repeater drunks,
it was worthwhile.
In asking for better public un-
derstanding and handling Of the
problem, Judge Myers gave high
tribute" to Chief Probation Of
ficer Joseph Sanford and his staff
for approaching the alcoholics
problem with Intelligence, SYM
pathy and interest"
