Police statistics reflect the value of strict penalty in some cases. Capt. E G. Cederlof, police uniform division, said that detailed statistics, tabulated in police traffic enforcement in Salt Lake City and elsewhere, show that the number of accidents diminishes in direct proportion to the increased number of citations issued. Further, the ratio of fewer accidents to more citations is reversed and accidents increase when courts adopt leniency as a policy. The pattern carries into criminal matters, Capt.

Judge Jones said that be, toc regrets that parking tickets reach a status where they must be handled as crimes. But the Judge is even more puzzled that many citizens consider a court summons as nothing more than a nuisance letter, that there are many who think that a bench warrant for arrest should be passed off as nothing more than an urgent plea to appear; that there are many who fail to understand "thata court sentence takes precedence--rignow over all other matters U your life." Many lawyers and others-generalagree that the city court presently is evenly diJudge vided: two "hard-no- se and two "softies."

With him came new and nationally experienced ideas directed at increased public understanding of the traffic safety problem. Recently he adopted a program Involving supervised probation and treatment for the alcoholic driver. Hes extending the court's driver education program to include the unique problems of the older driver. After several false starts in recent years hes now trying again to introduce to Salt Lake City the widely accepted, time - and money -- saving Uniform Traffic Ticket and Complaint. The "hard-no- se appendage followed Judge Jones on the city court circuit, but the 1d driver record" went into mothballs. Now it has has been revived. Significantly, disappointed traffic officers in 1962 and disgruntled defendants in 1965, differing widely as to the excellence of Judicial practices, were consistent in that both groups have failed to reveal that the traffic record and the license suspension was Imposed way back in 1951, when Maurice D. Jones was a student at the University of Utah. Scores of cited motorists, are overheard meanwhile, "Do you mean they asking: issue a bench warrant over a couple of piddling little parking tickets?" Unhappy motorists often ari. dated. Applications for new trial appeal and change of venue are characteristic of the condition, with defendants hopeful for a reverse decision, or a lesser penalty. An exception: "School teachers," said the judge. "They cant see why that has to come to court. They are always too busy. They cry on the courts shoulders via telephone." Some pressures that judges experience smack of blackmail. City traffic court records, for example, carry case files demonstrating that members of some professional groups, including more than one member of the newspaper profession, being in a position to understand court problems, have nevertheless received substantial reductions in penalties penalties which are Imposed full on those who appear in open court. Substantial benefits, records show, accrue to persons who are in a professional position to publicize adverse Interpretation of court programs, or to make no Interpretation at all where public education and participation may be critical to the success of a program for traffic or criminal law enforcement. How to abolish these threats to successful court function? J udge J ones proposes legislation requiring any Utah community having two or more city Judges to establish a presiding judgeship the post to be filled by the Judges from agong their number. Such a program would give the presiding Judge administrative authority to make assignments and to enforce a disciplined, uniform policy to 'Stowage ths eUJs tX Judge, 'Slttwthg and lChletfey under FORCED TO DISPOSE OF 9 1 UM MM3 PORTABLE TELEVISION tk, 108ES laiMiaeaiwiM I I m919 CCNSOLETTE WASHER V 329 L MODEL CA 12 CONSOLETTErL Slock and Whit TV Stand Includes Compare at $189 Roll-Abo- 11i SO j J " e PtKII and up Schwinn quelity oil the way.
