Licenses Lifted For Violations Seventy-one driven convicted of traffic violations in connection with accidents in which there was death or personal injury ' have had their licenses revoked during the past three months, Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee announced today. The revocations are in line with the program adopted by the magistrates and the Motor Vehicle Department as a means of conserving manpower so vital to the war effort. The campaign was launched mid-January on the premise that a driver who violates the _ law and is involved in an accident that results in death or personal injury shows an unwillingness to conserve the nation’s much-need-ed assets. The violations for which action was taken included speeding, hit and run, driving on wrong side of _ the road, ignoring traffic signals, disregarding stop street signs and other bad practices that cause ac-

cidents.

Commissioner Magee expressed himself as well pleased over the early success of the campaign,

stating:

“Heretofore, the scales of justice have balanced favorably for the defendant when the only penalty imposed consisted of a small fine or a suspended sentence. Once this changed procedure of license revocation becomes generaDy known, there should be a sharp reduction in accidents.”

Boys 18-20 Soon To Be Registered

Boys between the ages of 18 and 20 will be required to register for Selective Service about July 1, if possibly, and at least by late summer, i^ was announced last week by Major General Lewis B. Hershey, national director. No announcement of the proposed registration has been received as yet by the' local draft board. General Hershey said Congress might be asked to amend the Selective Service law to allow drafting of those under 20. The director remarked that the nation would be lucky if it got five pepr cent of its army from the group over 37, and also declared that Selective Service does not plan to atrip the field of men with dependents to meet Army requirements. He added, however, that some with families might be called if the families have enough income for “reasonable support 1 ’.
