Arrests Up 110

vealed a staggering increase over last year of the number drunken drivers and pedestrians arrested in Indiana. “Oné out of every five persons found guilty of driving while drunk 'has been involved in an accident,” Col, Austin R, Kilhan, stafe police head, said today. Searching tnyough his files the veteran policeman found that arresis for the fist six months of this year had increased 110 per cent over last year's figures. His shoulders sagged - when he noted a 124 per cent gain in the number of persons forfeiting driving privileges on convictions of driving while drunk. Called Greatest Menace Col. Killian also found that arrests of drunken pedestrians by his organization was up 50 per cent. As he penciled the results in his notebook he fumed, “The individual who deliberately endangers the lives of others by drinking then driving constitutes the greatest menace to highway safety today. Payment of fines is the easy way out.” He exemplified this statement by commending a Muncie judge, Charles Pieroni, for sending intoxi-

Evidencing the fact that police and courts aren't kidding, case records of trials show that of the 1132 drunken driving' arrests by troopers in the first half of the year, 935 were convicted. The remaining cases are still pending in courts or the defendants have been dismissed. i
