AMA Urges New Drunk Guilt Level WASHINGTON (AP'-High o( ficials of the American Medical Association have urged a drastic tightening of Qemistry standards bv which many states seek to es tablish guilt of drunkenness o( drunken driving. One of the AMA's experts on alcoholism said that if the rec ommendation is written into state laws, a person could be declared legally drunk by chemical tests alone ruling out any counter ar gument by a defense lawyer. The recommendation came from the. AMA's Board of Trus tees. The policy-making House of Pelegates was to consider it later The trustees' recommendation, based on studies by I wo AMA committees, is that states using chemical tests of blood or breath ior alcohol content make these change in their statutes: 1. Lower by one-third the level ef alcohol concentration on which a person can be legally presumed to be under the influence of in toxicants. Specifically, the change would be from 0.15 per cent to (t 10 per cent. The AMA itself first recommended the 0.15 per cent level more than 20 years ago. 2. Change the wording of stat utes so that the word "intoxica tion" would be substituted for the present "under the influence." Dr. Marvin A. Block of Buf falo. N.' V., chairman of the AMA's committee on alcoholism,: was asked by a reporter to es-j plain the significance of the pro posal. "This means that not only would we have a stricter criteri on, but wt'd also hae real teeth In the drunkenness statutes for the first time." he replied. "The present phrasing 'under the influence' is a very vague term which depends on someone's judgment. Tnder the new recommenda tion, the chemical level of alco hol in the blood or the breath would be enough to convict a man of intoxication. The court wouldn't need any more evidence." Contending that tin 0.10 per cent level is a fair one. Dr. Block said: "People who carry that per centage of alcohol in their blood have their faculties affected. Their reflexes are slowed, their judgment impaired, their inhibi tions lowered. "And this is true even though some people due to differences in tolerance to alcohol would ap pear not to be drunk under such circumstances."
