It is in the interest of solving
such a question as this were
you or were you not driving a
car while under the influence of

cal police department installed
the Harger Drunkometer.

Under the present system fol-

taken to the police station under

may request that the officers give

an average amount of drinks of
whiskey and water, and although
he reported that he felt a little
high" he did not appear to be
drunk or to have lost possession
Of any Of his faculties.
The courtesy test given to him
by police showed that he was mot

Spillman's conclusion after tax
ing the test and hearing the ex-
plantations of the device by police
officers was that If a person has
had only a couple of drinks, it is
to his advantage to take the chem

Take On Phenix City Rounds

PHENIX CITY, Ala. Up - Bill
collectors for q big Georgia furni-
ture store took in only 81 from
their usual rounds in Phenix City
the day after racket-busting A. L.
Patterson was slain. T.
The long-simmering cauldron Of
vice had boiled over into gangster-
like violence at last in a compla-
cent community where gambling,
liquor and prostitution were the
most hourishing industries. Its
people, stunned into reality and
afraid Of the future, were holding
onto their money until we find
out what we're going to do"
A feeling Of desperation was evil
dent throughout the once carefree
city Of 5000 where soldiers from
nearby Fl. Benning, Ga, came
each night to lounge in the grille
bars and gamble away their pay.
Georgia authorities couldn't reg
ulate the vice dens and Alabama
didn't control them, except at in
tervals when the lid came down
and then gradually lifted again.
Phenix City is closed again now,
tighter than ever. And Gov. Cor
don Persons has vowed to keep it
that way - at least until he leaves
office next January.
One immediate effect. the gov
ernor hopes, may be to s'starye

son to death last Friday night be-
fore he could take Office as at
torney general and begin the vice
cleanup he had promised.
The gamblers and the vice lords
have been hit hard by the clamp
down, enforced by National
Guardsmen, and the "on limits"
signs posted around the city for
soldiers from TT. Benning.
One gambler alone complained
that the loss Of business was cost
ing him $1,000 a day.
Prostitutes fled across the Chat
tahoochee River into Columbus,
Ca, but authorities there ordered
them out. AS far away as Mont
gomery, IS miles to the west, the
city commission ordered vice
shakedown to keep the girls on the
move.
But there is a far more ominous
cloud lowering over this Chatta-
hoochee River town. Its entire
economy may fall apart.
Alton v. Foster, the Chamber Of
Commerce manager who resigned
in angry protest after Patterson's
murder, said the cleanup order will
''ruin the city financially" il it re-
mains in force, but he added:
SIT would be the best thing that
could happen. Even If it means the
city has to 60 into receivership

flee if a healthy new community
can grow up in its place"
