ticket to be processed in a traffic

among the recommendations of
the committee, according to its
chairman, Judge Walter M. Bas-
tian of the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia.
A thorough re-examination of
present traffic violation penal
ties will be sought and traffic
court judges will be asked to

volved when sentencing traffic
violators, so that the defendant
will understand the reason for
their findings.
