BIC INCREASE IN
SPEEDERS SHOWN
IN OUR COURTS

More North Carolina drivers saw
the inside of court room last year
than in 1867, according to a report
released Tuesday by the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles.
The States drivers drove faster,
but possibly less recklessly, the de-
partment's year-end court report
indicated.
In 1858, 99,137 persons were
tried on speeding charges. That's
,450 more than were tried on the
same charge in 1857.
Fewer arrests were made for
driving drunk and driving after Ii
cense had been revoked. Fewer
drivers also ended up with, reck-
less driving charge.
While the overall record, ex-
cept in the speeding category was
considered comparatively good, the
number of driver license suspen-
sions showed an increase over the
preceding year.
Elton r. Peele, director of the
Driver License Division of the De-
partment of Motor Vehicles, said
1857 driver licenses were sus-
pended last year. That figure, he
said, topped the 1857 figure of
16,709.
License revocations in 1858 to-
tailed 11,709, Peele said. In 1857.
there were 1875 revocations.
Records showed that courts
heard 21O,675 traffic cases in 1858.
That totaled compared with 201,-
$40 in 1857.
The Driver License Division
sent out more written warnings
in 1865 than in 1857, Peele's re-
port showed. Habitual violators re-
ceived 3,434 warnings last year as
compared with 1900 in 1857.
There were fewer licenses re-
voked last year for driving drunk
than in 1857. Last years figure
was 6,942 and the ST figure, 8,516.

New York, Jan. 5 - The New
Congress which convenes this week
has been appraised by the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union as prom
Using far less danger to free speech
and due process of law than the
old, and perhaps holds promise of
some positive gains in the civil
rights field. But the organization
stated its optimism guardedly.
In it's 18th annual report released
today, the ACLU opined there was
"a reasonably probability" that the
seth Congress would act. to curb
filibustering, which blocks a final
vote on controversial legislation.
But while the Union pointed out
that it "can justifiably feel a bit
uplifted about the temper of the
times" it characterized the anti
filibuster move as only "prelimi-
nary" step in the drive for much
needed broader civil rights legisla-
ton.
In his introduction to the report,
ACLU executive director Patrick
Murphy Malin asserted that the
improved civil liberties climate was
noted "even before the elections,
