Court Ruling Cuts Revenue of Police Police revenue here in Aprjl was over $3,000 less than in.the corresponding month of 1957 and $1,948 less in April, 1956, a comparison of the police department's monthly reports showed Friday. The decline in revenue appears largely'due to the state Supreme Court's recent ruling that cities do not have jurisdiction in cases Involving violations of state laws and that violators of city ordinances are entitled to jury trials Sharp Drop in Arrests A sharp drop'in the number of traffic arrests last month as corn- paved with April 1957 accounts for part of the decline in police revenue. Last month there were 52, traffic arrests as compared with 152 in the corresponding month in 1957. This is believed due in large degree to a section of the Supreme Court's ruling holding that any- person charged with an offense covered by both state law and city ordinance is entitled to all the rights of a defendant in 'a criminal trial. Previously Colorado courts had held that violations of city ordinances were a civil Procedure Changed Police here as a result have been issuing fewer traffic tickets than in the past in criminal actions, evidence must be produced to prove the defendaiit guilty a reasonable doubt" to obtain a conviction.

Under the procedure in effect prior to the Supreme Court decision, a preponderance of the evi dence was all that was needed for a finding that a defendant was guilty of a traffic offense. The second factor involved in the sharp decline in police reve. nue results from the Supreme Court's ruling cities do not have jurisdiction over offenses covered by state laws. 28 to JP Courts This resulted in police here last month transferring to JP courts 28 cases which previously would have been handled in municipal court. Six of these were drunk driving cases, one speeding, four reckless driving, seven careless driving, two failure to.report an accident, one allowing an incompetent to drive and six no operator's license.

Only 20 traffic violation cases were handled in police court last month. These were four stop sign violations, four improper turns, two improper parking, two tampering with autos, four taking the right of-way, five meter violations and one each for failure to signal, fol lowing too closely, improper back ing and improper passing. Comparison in The drop in traffic arrests re suiting from the necessity for no lice now to obtain evidence "be yond a reasonable doubt" a driver is' guilty of a law violation is shown by the following compar ison of traffic arrests in April 1957 and last month, with the April 1957 figures for each of fense shown in parenthesis: Speeding, 1 (28); reckless driv ing, 4 (3); careless Jrivml (66); stop sign, 4 (9); signal light 0 (5); improper turn, 4 (3); operator's license, 6 (9); leavm scene of accident, 0 (2); failur to report accident, 2 (1); imprope inspection, 0 (3); permitting in compared with 45 in April 1957.

Eisenhower stood in the warm sun on this Memorial Day and talked over old times with the great heroes of America's wars--216 winners of the coveted Medai of Honor.

Past ths. smiling President in the White House rose garden filed (he privates, the sergeants, sailors, Ihe generals, the admirals --and for each of Ihem he had a warm greeting and a hearty handshake. Pays Solimn Tributt A momenl before, in a brief informal lalk, Eisenhower had paid solemn Iribute to these winners of the nation's highesl honor for servicemen. "Each of you occupies a special place to Ihe admiration and in the affections and respect of America," he 'said. 'You have offered on the field of battle the very most that can be offered in defense of those ideals' and those principles on which America Winners Hear Squinting into the bright sunlight, the medal winners listened gravely--some of them proud to uniforms of other days, some of them smartly turned out to the uniforms of active service, many of them to civilian clothes.

Oldest among them was retired Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Randolph C. Berkeley of Beaufort, S. who won his medal for action at Vera 'Cruz in the Mexican campaign to 1914.

He is 83. Also on hand--in a while garrison cap, blue jacket and white trousers of the Marine Corps--was 82-year-old William C. Horton of Seattle, Wash.

"But brief reflection," he said, 'would make clear to them, as it does to all of us, that they have become symbols of all that is best in our society and lives. They now. are symbols of the best things for which we in America stand and for which we wish, hope and pray. "And this," he added, "is entirely proper." CauMt Thin International To say that men killed in battle died for great national and international causes, Dooley said, would be to shirk the payment of tribute which It was earnestly sired to make. When reporters asked servicemen what they were fighting for during the dark days of World War II, Dooley said, the newsmen were not getting an irresponsible answer 'when told, fighting to go home." This, Dooley said, was "really a profound, wise reply.

"As we- acquire wisdom, don't we begin to recogniie that fighting to go home, fighting for. home are really the important things, the things worth dying lor? asked. "We refer to home in a broad sense, as all of those things which are close to us and which are best in our society, just as these men are TIOW symbols for all that is.best in our lives." (them who now represent the best In us, we must realize our potential and then we will have alio kept faith with ourselves as human beings. should take heart in the fact that our times are among the most exciting in history," Dooley said.

The national, even international ramifications of the problem are great, but only in your home can the problem be eliminated," he said. Some need help to do a better job and the present philosophy, Dooley said, is that assistance will be provided, frequently through public agencies.
