Federal Operation
Keeps Bad Driving
Risks Off Roads
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington - (Special) - A
couple of convicted"" drunk
drivers from Oregon were
recently trip
ped up by a
battery of
IBM comput
ers in an at
tempt to hide
their bad
records and
obtain new
drivers per
mits in other
smith siaies. r-saen-
tially, these two men - like
thousands all over the coun
try - ran afoul of a new fed
eral operation designed to
help the states keep bad driv
ing risks off the highways.
In the cases involving the
two Oregon men, both had
their permits suspended dur
ing 1962. Neither was eligible
for another permit until later
this year. One went to Idaho
and applied for a new license.
The other went to Texas and
did tile same thing. Neither
told authorities in tnese stales
of their bad record in Oregon.
Both Idaho and Texas auto
matically sent copies of these
applications to a little-known
aecnev in Washington, D.C.,
called the Office of Highway
Safely, which is in the Bu
reau of Public Roads under
the Commerce Department.
Under a bill enacted by Con
gress in 1961. this office es
tablished a National Driver
Register Service, basically
composed of names and iden
tifying features of drivers
who have lost their licenses
for either drunken driving or
involvement in an accident
which resulted In a fatality.
This growing register now
contains over a quarter mil
lion names.
Fed Into Computer
When the search requests
arrived from Idaho and Texas
amid thousands more from all
over the nation one day last
month, the information on the
two men was fed routinely
into the giant computers by
nightfall. By next morning
when the staff returned to
work they found the electron
ic marvels had scored hits by
finding the records the men
were trying to hide.
The computer was able to
accomplish this because when
the two men had their licenses
suspended in Oregon, this in
formation was dispatchd
from Salem to the Office of
Highway Safety, where it
u.r,s fed into the "CKWVy
bank" of the IBM machines.
When the machine scored
these hits, not only Idaho and
Texas officials were advised,
but Oregon officials as well
so they would know what
these offenders were up to.
Before lllis register was
created, an individual state
had no efficient way of check
int on a license applicant if
1 it suspected he might have an
ouljf-!lle record It could
; write to nearby stales, ur all
the states, but this was time
consuming end awkward.
Because the service is avail
able to all the states and ter
ritories, the computers auto
matically search records from
throughout the nation so that
a check is completed within
24 hours. Thus a driver who
lost his license on a drunk rap
in the Panama Canal Zone
last summer and tried to get
a license in Arizona lat
month was nailed by the com
puter. Making Substantial Un
Wendell G. Eames, who
came from the Federal Bu-
OREGON
reau of Investigation to man
age the new service, said that
some 9,000 law violators have
been detected who might oth
erwise have been given new
permits in states which were
ignorant of their records until
the register was checked. All
but four states - Delaware,
Georgia, Florida and Massa
chusetts - are using the serv
ice. About 38 states are mak
ing substantial use of it, he
said. Some slates check out
every permit applicant, oth
ers check out only those they
suspect.
The number of search re
quests has increased 654 per
cent in the past year, ne
added.
Some state officials were
apprehensive that this might
lead to a federal driving
license, but Eames said his
office is not trying to preempt
the state's traditional author
ity in this field. The service
is free, he said, and the states
are free lo use it or not. How
they use the service is also up
to them.
Insurance companies also
want to check records of ap
plicants for coverage, he said,
but his office requires them to
get it through their states.
Those states that charge for
such information don't want
to lose the revenue.
Eames has received various
complimentary letters from
state authorities indicating
how they use the service. One
from Texas reported that of
3.400 new license applicants,
17 were detected as drivers
who could not qualify for a
permit.
One of these 17 admitted
he had been licensed pre
viously in North Carolina hut
said he had never been con
victed for drunken driving or
other violations. This was
true with respect to his record
in North Carolina, but he
failed to reveal that in South
Carolina he had a record of
four drunken driving viola
tions, two convictions for
driving without a license and
one for reckless driving.
Falsa Statement Case
All of this information came
out of the computers because
South Carolina had sent in
the man's record. Within
eight days, Texas authorities
had started a false statement
case against the applicant.
Because of the success of
the program, Congress is ex
pected to consider legislation
to expand tiie legisler to in
clude names of violators in
such other categories as state
i officials wish lo report, such
as reckless driving, lilt ana
run driving, driving while
under influence of drugs or
habitual violators. Because
the register is limited cur
rently to drunken driving and
fatality accident cases, it cov
ers only about S4 per cent
of license revocations, Eames
said.
The administration supports
this extension of the regis
ter's service.
"The more a state uses this
program," observed Eames,
"the bedT it will he for high
way safety."
