HOT ROD RACES
 CUT ACCIDENTS

SANTA ANA, Calif-lR-Traffic officers have greatly reduced the number of hot-rod accidents here abouts by needing the old saying If you can't lick 'em, join 'em."
 A little more than a year ago the California highway patrol, alarmed by the lawlessness and high acci- dent rate of teen-age racing jalopy drivers, assigned two men to the problem. Charles Pollard and Ezra Ehrhardt figured the solution was to let the boys work off steam at organized races. The officer at tended club meetings, gained the confidence of the drivers and ended up supervising weekend races for cars and motorcycles at an aban- doned air strip.
 Now as many as 5000 turn out Sundays to watch members of the racing boasting such colorful names as Lancers, Clunkers, Full !dlers, Ma-rod- -ers-rip over the course at more than 100 miles an hour. The Sheriff and the highway patrol say hotrod speeding con- plaints have declined 90 per cent since the airport races began. The motorcycle accident death rate dropped seven per cent in a year while registrations rose 30 per cent. Autom pile statistics show similar accident declines.
