Damages Denied
Passengers Who
Rode With Drunk

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 10
(AP). - Intoxicated passengers
of an automobile driver who is
under the influence of alcohol
may not recover damages
growing out Of an automobile
accident, Judge Caleb R. Lay
ton III has ruled in United
States District Court.
Judge Layton, in a 17-page
opinion, denied $100, 900 to the
survivors of two brothers killed
in an auto-truck crash near
here two years ago.
Mrs. Audrey Griffith. 20, of
Isom, KY, widow Of Bubbich
Griffith, and Hobart Griffith of
Neon, KY, father Of Bubbich
and James D. Griffith, sued the
Brooks Transfer & Storage Co.,
Inc, of Virginia, operators of
the truck.
The Griff1th brothers and
Reuben Davis, driver Of the
car, had been drinking heavily
prior to the crash, the Judge
said. Mr.. Davis also was killed.
Judge Layton's opinion said "it
is no less the duty of the pas
senger, where he has the op-
portunity to do so, than Of the
driver, to learn of the danger
and avoid it if practicable. .
ITO permit these two passen-
gers to recover here would be
a miscarriage of justice.
Bubbich and James Griffith
were guilty of assumption OF
risk or contributory negligence

Tests Reveal
TrdnquiIizers
Boost Whisky

A small amount Of whisky
and some tranquilizers can get
you drunk and still let you beat
the drunk tests. a Madison
Qnd) study shows.
Persons taking the tram
quilizer meprobamate should
be warned that alcoholic drinks
can have a greater effect on
them, the researchers reported
in today's issue of the Journal
of the American Medical As
ISOLATION.
Meprobamate, one of the
milder tranquilizers, is sold un-
der the names of Miltown,
Equanil, Meprosan and Mepro-
tabs. 1t is often prescribed for
tension and insomnia among
other ills.
Ten men and IL women vol
unteered for the study. For
a week before the experiment
they were given the drug four
times a day. Then they un-
derwent psychological tests on
four different days under diff
ferent experimental conditions.
They were tested after being
given an innocuous drink,
after a drink containing only
meprobamate, one containing
only alcohol and after a drink
containing meprobamate and
alcohol.
The alcohol given was enough
to produce about a 0.05 per
cent blood alcohol level, not
enough to impair automobile
driving.
Sixteen of the % cases
showed more intoxicating
symptoms after the combined
drinks, "On the day of the
combined drug dosage, four OF
the subjects were quite OBJ
viously drunk" the report said.
They showed marked muscu-
lar inco-ordination and little
or no concern for the social
proprieties."
The meprobamate does not
show up in drunk tests.

For More Pay

DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 10
(AP).-A $6,0O0-a-year start
ing salary for the Nations
teachers. reaching $4,000 after
elght years in the profession, is
the target of the American Fed
Grafton of Teachers (AFL-
CIO).
The call for higher salaries
was included in one of the
many resolutions adopted yes
terday by the federation's 44th
annual convention.
The 600 delegates termed the
fight for collective bargaining
rights for New York City teach.
ers "the crucial battle in the
life of the AFT" And they
adopted two resolutions calling
for aid to Local 2, United Fed
Grafton of Teachers, in New
York, to help secure those
rights.
Delegates said that what
happens in New York will be
reflected across the country.
Some 10000 New York teach
ers are expected to choose in
the coming year between the
Federation and the National
Education Association (NEA)
as a bargaining representative.
Another resolution proposed
legislation in all States to give
public school employees pro-
lection from "the company
union"-the Federation's term
for the NEA.
That last dig was the latest
in the running battle with the
NEA. a battle aimed at i'm
proving the ATS position.
Delegates rejected, then re-
considerd and adopted a reso-
luton commencing the Demo-
cratic Party for its platform
plank on Federal aid to school
construction, teachers salaries
and pupil welfare. The plank
urged enactment of a measure
to carry out these. things at
this session of Congress.
That reolution was turned
down initially after one un-
identified delegate told the con-
vention that "a plank in a
platform may or may not be
the thing. When they finally
do something to deserve my
commentator. I'll be happy to
give it,"
The resolution was recon-
sidered after other delegates
pointed out that to reject it
may be interpreted as meaning
the Federation is opposed to
Federal aid to education.
