THE JOB THEY ARE

Worried by the more than 500
deaths caused by motor vehicle
accidents on the highways of
Virginia this year, Governor Bat
tie has ordered the state police
to give more of their time to
traffic, conditins. That is what
the state police system was or
ganized for, and : that was the
work of the patrolmen for years.
In the beginning no one ever
thought of them as super sheriffs,
taking over the duties of local
officers elected by the people.
They were given the powers of
general enforcement officers dur
ing the administration of Gov
ernor Price, and right there a
mistake RWas made.
These officers should have the
specialized duty of regulating
travel on the highways. A sher-
tiff and his deputies should have
the general responsibility f pre-
serving the peace and enfrcing
other than traffic laws. The Gov
ernor acted wisely and consider
ately when he called the sher.

them the duty of keeping order

well in calling on the state police
to assume the responsibility for
which they were created.
