Here's a Real Safety Pledge Booster It BUICK SALES FOR
OF SENATE'S BILL
WASHINGTON. D. C Aug. 14.
With a timely warning to the states
that the destruction of life and
property on the highways "cannot
continue." the congress has given
new Impetus to the national effort
to lay greater stress on the quali
fications of those who drive.
This statement was made today
by the American Automobile asso
ciation, following a favorable report
by the 6enate committee OA Inter
state commerce on a measure to
prohibit the operation of motor ve
hicles in Interstate and foreign com
merce by unlicensed operators. The
senate bill was Introduced by Sen
tM worn fi. Truman of Missouri.
and a companion bill, offered by
Representative Wllburn Cartwrlght
of Oklahoma, la penaiug m
house of representatives.
"Coming at s time when IS lad

and 8,000 high schools," asm
A nefcrnlt. nresldent of
the AAA, "the action of the senate
committee la a significant step In
the program to improve driving
standard.
"The effect of the proposed legis
lation would be to confine to state

do not license drivers following an

must undergo an eyesight test, show

18 years of age n tne 8tst mu"
have a provision for revocation or
suspension of licenses. Violation of
any provision of the act would be
punishable by a fine of not more
than $300."
While the legislation seems dras
tic on lta face, said the AAA. It
would not be effective until four
years after the date of enactment,
thus allowing ample time for states
without license laws to enact such
laws and other states to revise their
license system to accord with the
flandarda set forth In the federal
act The statement continues:
.'More than half the states would
be affected by the Truman bill.
Five states, namely: Florida. Illinois,
Louisiana. Mississippi and South Da
