An April 24 wedding is Miss Phyllis Irene Cooper attack this problem in a way that is both effective and compassionate." THESE were the words of Judson B. Branch, chairman of the beard of Allstate Insurance Companies as he appealed to the women attending the recent Forum on Traffic Safety Alcohol Countermeasures for Women's National Organizations in Washington, D.C., to become involved in fighting the driving drinker problem. Panels, workshops and exhibits played a major role in the forum. A key representative from each of the nine Alcohol Safety Action Programs (ASAP) currently in operation presented a unique countermeasure from his demonstration project. Funded through National Highway Traffic Administration contracts to communities, states and educational institutions, the projects are in widely diverse areas of the nation.

THE first panelist, Donald Morehead of Seattle-King County, spoke on Driver Control Countermeasures. Washington's ASAP plan is concerned with those "drivers who have been convicted of 'Driving While Intoxicated' (DWI) or have been involved in an alcohol-related incident." They are automatically referred to the Driver Improvement Division of the Department of Motor Vehicles where they are assigned to a specific group geared to aid with each driver's particular problem. A system of group discussions, random selections, medical reports, control groups and probationary periods aim "to get the driver totally involved in an attempt to get him to want to change his habits because he can see that it is to his advantage." William Farr, representing Portland-Eugene, spoke on Court Involvement-Pre-sentence Investigation. He said, "It seems obvious that any project directed toward the problem-drinker driver must insure that effective action is taken by the judicial system when such a person is arrested on a 'drunk driving' charge. The most common judicial responses (fine, jail sentence, license suspension) have proved to be largely ineffective when dealing with the confirmed 'problem drinker'.

For an alcoholic the only reasonable course of action is to attack the source of the problem: his A diagnostic evaluation is made when a person is convicted of Emily Williamson marries Mr. Hurley The marriage of Miss Emily Jean Williamson and Joseph Alexander Hurley took place in St. Helena's Catholic Church.

All this activity will occur within two weeks of conviction, after which a decision will be made as to whether or not we do in fact have a problem drinker.

Non-problem drinkers will be referred back to the court for standard sentencing at this point." Problem drinkers are returned to the judge to be assigned to one of several available treatment projects within the ASAP plan. Lois Whitley of Denver, described the Denver ASAP in four basic steps. "First of all we intend to crusade for popular support of improvement of Colorado's substandard implied consent law "Second, Denver ASAP will support the efforts of the judiciary to develop enforcible standards for handling I DWI offenders and applying these standards equally for everyone. Third, we will institute an efficient system of referral to the many treatment resources in the Denver metropolitan area for persons with severe drinking problems, and at the same time, help develop new methods of treatment for problem drinking "Fourth, coordinate the messages coming into the Denver area, sponsored by voluntary and official agencies, and aimed at solving the drinking-driving problem."

James Ray Adams' topic. Dr. Adams represented Nassau County, N.Y., and the plan he put forth somewhat resembles the many telephone action lines now operating. "There is sound evidence that a high proportion of drivers in fatal crashes are suffering the effects of personal stress at the time of the crashes. One study found one out of two, another found four out of five drivers were in fatal crashes following a quarrel, marital dissension, illness or death of a loved one, debt or job loss.

In most cases, the driver was also intoxicated. To enable an intervention into this sequence of crisis drinking. collision, a county-wide network will be established to contact drivers who are facing stress. "A telephone will be manned 24 hours a day by counselors who will talk with the driver, remind him that in his distraught state of mind he is more accident-vulnerable and discourage drinking before driving. For drivers already intoxicated, a taxi service will get them home to avoid their driving while OTHER panelists were Dr.

M. W. Perrine of Vermont who spoke on Driver Biographical Profile for Licensing Purposes; Lyle Filkins from Washtenaw County, who spoke of an Antabuse Program; Dr. Mercedes C.
