Show FRIDAY, AUGUST SI, 1956 THE BINGHAM BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH PAGE THREE Use Gun to Kill And It's Called Murder, But Use an Aufomobile-- ll's an Accident H A NY man who uses a gun to t kill anybody today is a fool. He ought to use an automobile for his chances of getting away with murder are much better." So said Robert L. ponigan, legal counsel for the Northwestern Uni-versity Traffic Institute, the "West Point of Traffic Policemen." In de-scribing the effect of our toft at-titude toward drivers who break the law and cause death. To illus-trate his point, Donigan cited the following cases: "A driver, through a flagrant violation of the law, killed two people and Injured three. He was found guilty of negligent homicide and was sentenced to serve from 6 to 24 months. Another Story be particularly Interested." Lang-H- e said. "Kill a man with a gun and we caU It murder. Kill a man with two-to- n vehicle and we call It an accident." Need Understanding In the past, people have not sup-port-have even resented good enforcement of the trafflo lawi be-cause they have not understood the Importance to them and to their families of drives aimed at law violations which last year were Involved in 88 per cent of our 88,000 traffic deaths. As more and more publlo officials are becoming aware that the flag- rant traffic lawbreaker is a poten- tial killer, enforcement drives are being stepped up throughout the country. has been conducting seminars for prosecutors and Judges to upgrade the administration of justice in the nation's traffic courts, "Even If we have super-saf- e vehicles, more super highways and more highway Improvements, all we can expect Is a reduction of from 10 to 20 per cent at best- -in collisions and fatalities." Econ-omo- s pointed out. "But if we move through law enforcement and education, we can make a reduction of from 80 to 90 per cent This fact places a serious responsibility on traffic court Judges. Find the Causes "Judges must decide which of-fenders violated through ignor-ance, which through mental or physical disability and which ones through a faulty attitude or a lack of respect for the law, and he must deal with each offender individual-ly. Ideally, the court should be a classroom where causes are iso-lated and then eliminated." Although police officers in one Tennessee city had stepped up en-forcement, most of the offenders were being freed by the town's only traffic Judge. The Judge had to run for and he thought he was making friends by his lenient attitude. Maybe he was making friends but the city's death rate continued to climb. A year later, the judge sudden-ly got a change of heart. In a single day, 198 of 200 drivers that appeared before him were con-victed. As word of the new court policy spread, the traffic death rata soon dropped so sharply that the city won national traffic safety "award. JNEXT WEEK Nuts on the Hiway. "In another court a man was found guilty of passing $200 worth of phony checks he had forged. His sentence was 1M to 21 years. Prosecutors who do not push vigorously for convictions in seri-ous cases, juries who tend to be soft and judges who are inclined to be lenient are discouraging re-spect for the traffic laws and are encouraging . lawbreaking," Don-igan asserted. Public apathy has bred this soft attitude. "We thought that poliomyelitis was a threat, and people were con-cerned about it," said Gov. Lang-li- e of Washington. "Every family that had a child worried about the possibility of their youngster's get-ting it, and they would do anything to avoid it. "And yet, for every youngster of 14 or under that was afflicted and died from poliomyelitis, we killed 13 on the highways of our state and people didn't seem to More than 100 cities have under, taken determined crackdowns, and the governors of 83 states either have launched get-toug- h drives of have expressed Interest In stepped up law enforcement as a traffl safety measure. What we need now, traffic au-thorities declare, is an aroused and Informed public (1) to sup-port the officials who are dedi-cated to strict and Impartial en-forcement of realistic traffic laws and (2) to demand action from those who still are sitting by idly as the slaughter on the highways reaches record proportions. More traffic tickets by police of-ficers, however, is not enough to make a law enforcement program a g success. Need Cooperation "Cooperation of the courts Is of utmost Importance," said James P. Economos, director of the traf-fic court program of the American Bar Association which sine 1947 Mrs. Ross Pino and family, Mr. and Mrs. Willard Nichols and son Dennis, Mr. and Mrs. Rex Garrett and children, Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Wright and family, Joyce DoCol and Connie Smith.
