Direct Court Appeal
In Driving License
Revelations Urged
By chorIes G. Brooks

The special committee that
formulated the trafiic point sys-
tenn yesterday asked the Com
missioners to let appeals from
license suspensions and revoca-
tions go directly to the Munici-
pal Court Of Appeals.
The committee acted on the
suggestion of Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp. The appeals
now go through the Commits
sioners before they can be car
ried to court.
The Municipal Court of Ap-
peals was authorized last August
to consider decisions made by
certain District administrative
agencies.
Can Demand Hearing.
AS 1t stands now, when a per-
son is assessed enough points
for a driving permit suspension
or revocation, he is notified of
the fact. He may then demand
a hearing by the department.
The next step is appeal to the
Director of Vehicles and Traffic
and then to the Commissioners.
From there an appeal may be
made to the appellate court.
In asking for the change. Mr..
Keneipp declared the Commits
sioners have upheld his decisions
on suspensions and revocations
100 per cent"
Mr.. Keneipp said so many per-
sons have been appealing to the
Commissioners that 1t would take
five or six more stenographers
for him to copy and forward
complete records to the city
heads.
Under his proposal, the Com
missioners still could review q
case If they wished.
Reverses Stand.
The committee also reversed
its stand of last week, when they
asked the Commissioners to in
crease Mr.. Keneipp's power to
revoke or suspend permits in
aggravated cases.
1t also reversed its decision to
ask the city heads to set three
points on all speeding violations.
rather than continue the present
graduated system.
But the committee did vote
to ask Municipal Court Chief
Judge Leonard P. Walsh and the
board OF judges to consider max
ing findings of exact speed in
speeding cases.

WASHINGTON REPORT

sets its guns on station to close,
it almost takes a miracle to keep
it open.
So-called postal experts-with
big maps, facts, figures, and much
political information-sit down at
their desks in Washington and
decide they'd like to shut down
such and such post office. A postal
field inspector is then sent into
the area and finds any number
of reasons why it would be better
to eliminate a given office. No
public announcement is made I'M
til the decision is made.
HEARING? Then, if enough
people demand it, so-called
hearing is held. In most cases, the
hearings change little. However,
one effective method is a good
contact with an influential Repub-
lican in Washington.
Plans had been made, for ex-
ample, to close small, midwest
ern post office that served only
one family. A big-time baseball
player, who had Republican
friends in Washington, voiced his
protest. Plans to close the office
were dropped. In passing, it should
be mentioned that the family the
office served was the baseball
players.
ACADEMY. Candidates for the
first class of the new Air Force
Academy will be nominated by
February IS. Under the rules of
the new academy, North Carolina
Senators and Congressman will
name 10 youths each to take COM
petitive exams for admission to
the academy.
Unlike the Army and Navy
academies, cadets for the Air
Force Academy will be selected
strictly on the results of the
exams. Of the total 140 nominees
named to take the aXams, only the
top seven completing the exams
will actually be admitted to the
academy.
EDUCATION. Hearings start
ed this week before a Senate COM
mittee on federal aid for educa-
ton. Several bills have been intro
duced that would give states mil
lions of dollars for the purpose of
erecting new school buildings.

POSTOFFICES. Despite ire
mendous opposition, the Republi-
can Administration is determined
to carry out it's plans to close
small, fourth-class post offices
that are losing money.
Since taking office two years
ago, the COP administration has
closed almost 1000 such offices
throughout the country. So far,
the Post Office Department
claims it had saved the taxpayers
some two million dollars by doing
this.
Although the Department real
ICES it is irritating thousands of
people by taking their hometown
post offices away from them, it
plans to close even more such of
fices. 1t is a hard bill of goods to
sell to the public, but the depart
ment claims it not only is saving
the taxpayers money, but is Civ
ing small, rural communities bet
ter service by closing the smaller,
money-losing offices.
FIRST. The Department picked
North Carolina to start it's pro-
gram to reduce the number of
fourth-class offices two years ago.
Wilkes County was chosen to lead
the way, where heated controver-
sizes were raised over closing the
stations at Lomax, Buck and other
points. 5<'e
Since then, the Department has
shut down no less than 145 offices
in the State. Several are in the
process of being closed now.
