Senators Study
Alcoholic Tests
For D. +. Drivers
Measure Supported by
Officials, Temperance
Spokesman and Others
By Don S. Worren

A Senate District subcommittee
today was considering whether to
recommend a bill to give legisla-
tive backing to the use of blood,
urine and breath tests for intoxi-
cation in drunken driving and re-
lated auto accident cases.
District officials, temperance
spokesman and others joined yes
terday in supporting the detectives
of the bill, although not all were
satisfied with the present draft.
For instance, Assistant United
States Attorney j. Warren Wilson
was sympathetic to its purposes"
but objected to it's present form,
raising questions of possible diff
faculties in other law prosecutions.
And the Rev. DR.. Clinton How
ard of the International Reform
Federation was for the bill al
though he said it did not go far
enough.
Clark King Backs Bill.
Clark King, an assistant cor
poration counsel, who prosecutes
drunken-d driving cases, solidly sup
ported the bill. The scientific
tests now are used on voluntary
basis. he said. The main diff
ference if the bill was passed, he
said, would be that such tests
would be taken as prima facie evil
dence, instead of having to be
supported by expert testimony at
a trial.
Senator Clements, Kentucky
Democrat, asked him what would
be needed to keep any drinker
from driving a car.
"Only a measure that you
couldn't pass" Mr.. King replied.
THAT would be a law to make it
an offense to drive even after one
drink"
The bill would make it prima
facie evidence in court that a de-
PENDANT was under the influence"
| if the blood or urine tests showed
a content of as much as 1900
of l per cent of alcohol, by weight.
An equivalent standard would be
applied to the alcoholic content
of persons breath.
Could Clear Driver.
Likewise, the bill would make it
legal evidence that the accused
was not intoxicated if the tests
Showed a content Of $500 of /
per cent or less.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West, supporting the bill, explained
that it would not make it man.
datory for defendants to submit
to the tests.
DR.. Oscar B. Hunter, a special
list in this field, cited cases in
which persons. thought to be
drunk, instead were suffering
from conclusion or diabetes or
the use of barbituates.
Few Avoid Tests.
Police Traffic Inspector John j.
/ Agnew submitted a report show
ing that, over 5l2 years. only IL
out of 1,190 persons arrested for
drunken driving here refused to
have blood or other laboratory
tests made. He said convictions
had been obtained in 876 of these
eases.
Others favoring the legislation
were former Police Inspector
Arthur E. Miller. who spoke for
1.-THE American Automobile Associa-
ton; Clayton Wallace for the
National Temperance League, and
Mrs. John c. Ready for the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Johnston, Democrat, Of
South Carolina, also took testi-
mony on several other bills. One
would authorize the District to
destroy or make available for
; Government use dangerous weap-
ons seized from criminals or
other illegal possessors.

Valley Homemakers Vie for Looms As Swedish Weaving Glasses Near End

Bobbins have been flying back and forth between the warp threads set up on several looms at the Extension Service craft room this week as eager Valley women hurry with their weaving projects to make use of the pre- clous time that Swedish weaving instructor, Miss Karin Pehrson, has to help them. }

President Reiferates
belief Reserve Board
Agrees With Snyder

President Truman today re.
iterated his belief that the Fedora,
Reserve Boards Open Market
Committee had been in agreement
with him and the Treasury De-
partment after their White House
meeting last week.
Mr.. Truman was asked at his
press conference about the dispute
going on between Federal Reserve
and the Treasury.
A reporter wanted to know how
the budget would be affected If the
Federal Reserve Boards view pre-
vailed and Government securities
were allowed to seek their own
level on the bond market. The
President said his questioner al
ready knew the answer to that.
Would Hold 1t to 21aT.
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
has enunciated the administra-
tion's position that long term In
terest rates must be held at ~
per cent to insure a workable
budget.
The President met January 81
with the Open Market Committee
and later wrote its chairman,
Thomas B. McCabe. a letter ex-
pressing qualification that the
group appeared to agree with him
on the interest rate question.
Board member Mariner s,
Eccles later issued a Federal Re-
serve memo which outlined the
minutes Of the meeting with the
President and denied that the
committee had pledged to support
the Treasury stand.

that his colleagues had given the
President the impression that they
would stand behind the Treasury

Asked at the press conference
