MANY DRIVERS IN INDIANA LOSE LICENSE Drunkenness and Lack of Financial Responsibility Two Large Factors in Suspension of Driving Privileges. —_______ Drunken drivers are ■ feeling the increased might of the law as evidenced in 1941 by the sus- ! pension of 4,517 drivers licenses of persons operating a vehicle under the influence of intoxicating lisuor. James Dunn, executive assistant of the state department of public safety states this is more than two and one half times the suspensions for the same cause in 1938 and a rise of forty-eight per cent over 1940. Two hundred sixty persons lost their operators licenses for leaving the scene of an accident where only 19 persons suffered I loss of license in. 1938 from this cause. Nineteen licenses were suspended on conviction of manslaughter and three for the use of a vehicle in commission of a felony. One suspension occurred as the result of operating under the influence of a narcotic drug. Failure to satisfy judgment under the financial responsibility act caused the suspension of 304 licenses according to George Blue, director of the financial responsibility division of the department of public safety. This law provides that any final court judgment arising oufTof the operation of a motor vehicle, that is not paid within thirty days from the date rendered, shall be a cause for the suspension of all driving privileges of the judgment debtor until judgment is satisfied or until debtor files proof of financial responsibility with the department for a periocj, of three years. Mr. Blue believes that a large number of citizens do not realize that they must file evidence of financial responsibility following conviction on certain, misdemeanors and felonies. Proof of responsibility in 1941 was filed by 2,291 persons. One thousand six hundred sixty-seven persons had to surrender their license plates. Os this number only 468 or 28 percent had their plates restored after filing proof of responsibility and 57 percent of the persons having their driving privileges suspended during the year of 1941 have never had such privileges restored. Thirty-four states have enacted laws similar to Indiana’s financial responsibility act since 1928, indicating that it is satisfactory and popular with the public in general, according to Blue. Misdemeanors and felonies for which proof of financial rel- - must be filed include j (1) manslaughter resulting from j the operation of a motor vehicle i (2) driving while under the influence of intoxicating „ liquor or a narcotic or other habit forming drugs (3) perjury or the -knowingly making of a false affidavit to the department under the act or any lew of this state requiring the registration of motor vehicles or regulating their operation on the highways (4) any crime punishable as a felony under the motior vehicle laws of this state or any other felony in The commission of which a motor vehicle is used (5) conviction or forfeiture of bail upon three charges of reckless driving all within the preceding twelve months (6) conviction of a driver of a motor vehicle involved in an accident ! upon the charge of failing to stop and disclose his identity at the scene of an accident. PARTY HELD IN HONOR OF MRS.u CHARLES ANNIS\ Miss Julia Blosser entertained at a dinner and miscellaneous shower at her home on Monday evening in honor of Mrs. Charles Annis, formerly Miss Lucile Kline, a teacher in the Nappanee schools.
