An Associated Press survey showed nearly two thirds of the state governments casting about for new laws to help solve the ac cident problem. Action ' to date ranges from the recommendation stage to newly signed statutes. Legislation includes bills or re quests to enlarge state police and law enforcement agencies, set down absolute speed limits, tight en driver licensing procedures, dole out s 1 1 f f e r penalties for drunken driver, institute state sponsored and financed driver ed ucation programs, instalh state wide motor vehicle testing proce dures, and make liability insur ance compulsory. More Police Mulled The survey showed 29 states putting more state police on the highways or considering this step. Washington State Legislature gave a six-million-dollar annual budget to its state patrol. With it, Acting Chief Roy Carlson plans to add 159 commissioned officers to the pa trol's presetn staff of 284. state police on the highways. The Washington State Legislature was considering a six-million-dollar an nual budget for its state patrol. With it, Acting Chief Roy Carlson proposed to add 159 commis sioned officers to the patrol's pres ent staff of 284. In Illinois, fourth highest in the nation with 2,135 highway deaths last year, Gov. William G. Strat ton asked for a doubling of the state police force of 600. "Our automobiles are safgr, our roads are better," he said. "Un fortunately our driving has not im proved at the same pace." Gov. Goodwin J. Knight of Cali fornia where a record traffic death toll of 3,805, the worst in the nation, was counted in 1956 asked for and got -an additional 110 highway patrolmen on an urgency basis during January. The law makers were considering a budget which would add 270 more. Pattern Same All Over In other states with the blood iest pavements, the picture was similar. Texas was considering measures to add 200 more state police and increase their salaries. Gov. Averell Harriman of New York requested a 12 per cent step up in strength of the state's 1,200 man field force. And in Michigan. Gov. G. . Mennen Williams asked 95 additional patrolmen to bring their strength to 1,250. As a further effort to slow down the race on sprawling express ways and even on two-lane strips, at least 14 legislatures mulled over plans to put sharper teeth in their speed laws. States cosidering measures to write more enforceable speed laws into the books include California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine and New Mexico. Improved highways brought new minimum speed laws in some states. Connecticut was consider ing one, and in Maryland, for ex ample, anyone driving slower than is reasonable under prevailing conditions may now be arrested and charged with impeding traf fic. 17 States Dig Deeper Seventeen states were digging deeper for solutions, perhaps at the root of the problem the driv er himself. Bills already in the legislative hoppers indicated new drivers would have increasing dif ficulty in obtaining -licenses and would have to exercise greater care to keep them. Some states were raising the minimum age for drivers, some were adding manpower to their driver testing bureaus, some were debating measures to require pe riodic re-examination of all driv ers, and still others were tighten ing their licensing procedures by requiring more rigid menial and physical tests for new drivers and for the aged. A comparatively new program aimed at sidetracking the habitual offender is the' point system under which a driver is given a certain number of points for each viola tion and conviction. When, for ex ample, he accumulates 12 points, his license may be suspended or revoked. States using this system or considering it include Kentuc ky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Wiscon sin. Driver Education Important Closely allied with driver licens ing is the general area of driver education. Numerous states re ported effective state-sponsored programs already in operation. Another area of considerable I legislative activity was found in efforts to give quicker and stiffer penalties to the drunk driver. Halt a dozen states were writ ing laws to require periodic in spection of all motor vehicles. A newly installed system in New York provides that if a vehicle fails the test, the owner has 10 days to get It repaired for rein spection. The vehicle registration is revoked on any found "unre pairable." State safety officials re port ample evidence that the in spection law is ridding the high ways of unsafe cars. Another newly enacted New York statute provides for compul sory auto liability insurance. 1 1 HEAR SEE and Through this ordinary Jooking pair of glasses Hear clearly and comfonably is never before picking up sounds right it etr level, "the natural way to hear".
