MEDFORT) VATL TRTBUTE. DFOKD. OREGOX. SUNDAY. TECEMBEft 6. 1338 h L CHICAGO, Dec. B . ( Spl . ) -Twenty-four thousand lives would have been uved and nearly a million Injuries prevented between 1926 and 1035 had the national trend In motor vehicle accidents kept pace with the reduc tions made In states having standard drivers license laws, the National Safety Council said today. This conclusion la reached In a newly published study of drivers' li cense legislation, entitled "Saving Live Through a Drivers' License Law," prepared by the council for free distribution to officials, legisla tors and other Interested parties. $ The council has advocated for years the adoption of standard driv ers' license laws for all states; that Is, laws with "teeth" In the form of examination requirements, suspen sion and revocation clauses, etc. The pamphlet emphasizes that where such laws are passed, after a few years of "try-out" administration, motor ve hicle death rates Invariably drop. Significant, too, the bulletin points out, la the fact that In a total of 21 states now having approxlmacly standard license laws, there has never been a repeal of a weakening of such legislation. The analysis concludes that auch laws "reduce accidents, cut down property lowea that go with motor ac cidents and Increase the pleasure and comfort of driving which rightfully belongs to the motorist under ade quate and properly enforced laws." Drivers' license legislation will be an Issue before most legislatures during oomlng month, the council eays, and will take the form of passing new laws or strengthening present weak legislation.
