Judge Charles Karabell who declared that people with physical afflictions should not be issued operator's licenses. The judge kept Lionel Weese's driver's license and said he would recommend to State officials that no license be issued to him in the future. Mr. Weese, 25, of 604 N. New Jersey St., was one of 34 persons scheduled to face traffic charges in Municipal Court today. Testimony that Mr. Weese was going 58 miles an hour when arrested at Michigan St. and Highland Ave, was given by police. Through a friend, who had appeared as a character witness and interpreter, Mr. Weese said he was not going that fast.

Double Parking

Municipal garages and parking spaces may be the solution to the fined $8 today by Municipal Court | traffic problem in cities, State Fire Marshal Clem Smith said today. Describing the congestion result- | ing from double parking as a seri-

700 Crash Reports Filed With Bureau
More than 700 accident reports have been filed with the State Accident Prevention Bureau since the 1937 statute requiring these reports went into effect July 1, State Safety Director Don Stiver said today. Numerous reports have been returned because the motorists failed to fill out the form completely. Mr, Stiver urged every driver involved in an accident to report the circumstances on forms available at each State Police barracks, City Police Department or Sheriff's Office. A $100 fine may result from failure to report accidents immediately, the Safety Director said. He explained that reports are to be made by each motorist. Police reports on accidents do not relieve drivers from their responsibility, he said. Marion County motorists have been particularly lax in making re- | ports, Mr. Stiver said.

Rerouting of trucks from College Ave. to Keystone Ave. as proposed by City officials, will add to traffic hazards for school children, William A. Evans, safety education director of the Indianapolis public schools, said today. Mr. Evans said the fall meeting of the Indianapolis Safety Education Council would consider the need for additional traffic patrolmen at School 91, 46th St. and Keystone Ave. if the proposed route is used. \ He said that in the vicinity of Schoo! 91 children now are compelled to walk in the street as KeyStone Ave. has no sidewalks.
