Drunk Driving Still Leading TrafficProblem By W. Earl Hall. Chairman, Nat­ ional Committee for Traffic Safe. ty- Drinking by drivers and pedes, trians is a growing traffic safety problem. The most recent records o f state authorities show that in one out of every four fatal traffic accidents, a driver or a pedes, trian was reported as having been drinking. Special studies bear out the be­ lief of many authorities that the information on official accident reports understates the true pic. ure. Surveys involving chemical tests o f blood or other body mat, erials of drivers tested who had been injured or killed in traffic accidents showed that half of the drivers had alcohol in their systems. About one third o f all the drjvers tested had sufficient alcohol to be under its influence. Results show that the greater the concentration o f alcohol in a person’s system, the greater the danger. A person with a blood alcohol concentration of over .15 per cent has a relatively poor chance o f staying out o f an ac­ cident. >The average driver in this range is 55 times more likely to be involved in an accident than drivers with no alcohol! The public is well aware of the dangers of driving after drink, ing. In a public'opinion poll for the national committee for traf­ fic safety, each person interview­ ed was asked which ten listed factors caused the greater numb­ er o f accidents, in his opinion. Driving while under the influence o f intoxicating liquor ranked number one. Perhaps the main stumbling block in getting better enforce, ment o f drunken driving laws in most places has been the diffi­ culty in determining whether drivers actually were under the influence. So much difficulty has been experienced in some places in convicting drivers who are- under the influence but not “ stag­ gering drunk” that enforcement has been directed at only the most obvious cases. Many progressive enforcement agencies, however, have turned to use of chemical tests to pro­ vide the needed additional evi. dence. Such tests show definitely Phone Xenia 16S7W I f no answer call Xenia 1495W2 BRYANT ’S Rapid Delivery Service Prompt Service We Pick Up and Deliver Anything Anywhere in Cedarville, Xenia, Wilberborce or Yellow Springs centration o f alcohol in the blood stream and brain, and not the amount in the stomach, which boars a definite relationship to degree o f intoxication, The use o f such scientific tests was recommended by the presi­ dent’s highway safety conference o f 1946. National organizations which have long advocated use of chemical testa fo r alcoholic in­ fluence include the American Bar association, American Modical association, federal bureau o f in­ vestigation, International Assocl. ation of Chiefs o f Police, national safety council and the national conservation bureau. Despite, the technical and pro­ motional work o f these groups, there are still jurisdictions which regard chemical; test evidence in somewhat the same light as the lie detector—a “new-fangled gad­ get.” Many cities however, nota­ bly Cincinnati, Cleveland, Mil­ waukee, Kansas City, Detroit, Washington and Indianapolis, use chemical test3 as routine prac­ tice. A recent tabulation showed 62 cities over 10,006 population reporting use o f such tests for enforcement purposes, with 20 state enforcement agencies like­ wise reporting their use. Use o f e v i d e n c e obtained through chemical tests is now of. ficially recognized in state laws in Maine, New York, Indiana and Oregon. Model legislation on in­ terpretation o f chemical test re­ sults, as recommended in act V o f the uniform vehicle code, has been introduced in legislatures of several states this year. A chemical testing program has many advantages. There are more pleas o f guilty, and fewer cases necessitaing jury trial, with the attendant expense. There is less chance o f a miscarriage of justice—the non-drinker anctjh e mild drinker ’ are spared the em­ barrassment of unjust arrest. These tests actually “ free the innocent and convict the guilty.” The organizations making up the national committee for traffic safety look upon drinking and driving as a safety problem. The committee is concerned in seek­ ing to develop greater public ac­ ceptance of the responsibility for avoiding the social tradegy and economic waste caused by traffic accidents. As far as liquor is concerned, we urge only: “ When you have been drinking, don’t drive.” Even two or three drinks may affect judgment in driving and contribute to an accident. Award Judgment O f $8,619.12 David W. Holliday, Dayton, R. R. 8, has been awarded $8,019.12 in a common pleas court judg­ ment against Fred Smart also of Dayton, R. R. 8, and others. The action was filed to recover the amount Holliday said he ex­ pended in equipping a proposed restaurant to be operated by him and Smart on property owned by WrightView ManAccused InStabbing One man was hospitalized and another was held In county jail Saturday as the result o f a, pre- riiidnight stabbing Friday in Os­ born View. The victim o f the knifing, Dan Fultz, 31, now in Veterans hos­ pital, Dayton, charged Paul Kea­ ton, 65, Wright View Heights, with the assult, according to De­ puty Sheriff James. Ramsey. Kea­ ton, arrested, denied' it. Fultz, stabbed in the side, was not wounded seriously. The sheriff's office first re­ ceived a report o f the incident late Friday night when Fultz came to the front porch of the Paul .Henly home in Osborn View and asked the family to call au­ thorities. Ramsey and Deputy Wesley Harris responded to the call and while awaiting an ambulance to take Fultz to Miami Valley hos­ pital, Dayton, obtained details of the case. Fultz said Keaton had been taained by the Xenia Postoffice, Fultz, 55, o f Oak Hill, O., before Fultz was bom. They were di­ vorced later and, Mrs. Fultz mar­ ried the wounded man's father who is now dead. Recently, when Mrs. Fultz came to Osborn View to visit Mr. and Mrs. Lafe Rob­ erts, Keaton according to Fultz, learned o f it and has made pro­ posals for a remarriage. This was borne out both by Mrs. Fultz and Keaton, officers said. Friday night after Fultz had ordered Keaton to- stay away from his mother, he said he found Keaton at the Roberts home and the two had left the’ house to­ gether. Then an argument devel­ oped, according to Fultz, and Kea­ ton, intoxicated, stabbed him. Keaton, when arrested by offo- cials at his Wright View home, said there had been an argument earlier in the evening but that he had left at Fultz’s reguest and did not return later in the even­ ing; when, according to Fultz, the stabbing* occurred.
