Pedestrians Have Become "Pampered" Safety Congress Says They're Careless, Disregard Traffic Lights ATLANTIC CITY. N. Oct.

17- -The National Safety Congress, whose aim is to reduce auto deaths. turned its attention to the pedestrian today and heard that he has become "spoiled and pampered The manager of Denyer's city department of safety, General William E. Guthner, gave that description of the average pedestrian, and said something drastic would have to be done to make pedestrians pay attention to traffic lights and stop jay -hawking. General Guthner said municipalities should see that all crosswalks are plainly marked, that a green light stays on long enough for pedestrians to cross and that safety zones are created for those caught in the middle of the street. Then, he said, pedestrians should be made to obey traffic rules "by punishment, if The National Safety Council's committee on tests for intoxication reported relatively new blood test WAS rapidly becoming standard method all over the country.

Under the test. a driver is decreed to be too intoxicated to drive a car if his blood contains as much as 15 hundredths of one percent of alcohol. The committee reported the test was "knocking the props from under the tipsy motorists and his alibis." "Drunks" have three standrd alibis, the committee observed they are: 1. "I got a bump on the head in the accident and that's why I staggered." 2. "I've been taking insulin for diabetes, judge, and that stuff makes you appear drunk." 3.

"I just had coupla shots, Your Honor, but I can drink six or seven before I even feel it." Juries have been reluctant to find men in the face of such detenses, the committee said, because it involves taking the word of one man against that of another. The net result WAS that police resorted to charging reckless driving instead of intoxication because it was easier to get convictions, the report read. "But all this." said the committee. "has changed in litle more than A year, since the accuracy of fluid tests has been established and widely accepted in the courts. With gathering momentum courts and' enforcement departments are welcoming the chemical tests as the longawaited answer to the drinking driver's alibi.

Public opinion. too, has accepted the intoxication test." There 18 yet one drawback: No state has passed a law requiring drivers to submit to such tests.

BLAKESLEE (Associated Press Science Editor) PHILADELPHIA, Oct. quick hypodermic cure for sprained ankles and knees was reported today to the American College of Surgeons. Novocaine is injected close to the site of the sprain.

It relieves the pain of moving the joint and at the same time helps injured tissues to recover quickly. The sprained part 1s bandaged tightly and, instead of being ordered to bed to rest, the patient is told to get up and walk around. Where the hypodermic treatment succeeds. the sprains apparently get well in two or three days in cases where the ankle or knee could not be used for two weeks by the ordinary, conservative treatments. In 25 of these sprains.

reported at the hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, all but two or three recovered speedily. The new treatment is apparently useful for the large class of sprains where ligaments are not torn, but only stretched and loosened. The fact that there may be some hemorrhage about the sprain, with rainbow colors in the swelling, does not prevent the "shots" from giving speedy relief. Surgeons who discussed this treatment said that if ligaments are torn they prefer the old rest. treatment.

The use of novocaine for sprains originated in France. It has been given a year's trial at the University of Pennsylvania hospital. The college called attention to the growing use of motion pictures in medicine by giving its approval to 420 medical motion pictures of these 27 were made for laymen, with pictures ranging from the "Life of Louis to after of infantile paralysis. The other pictures were professional but covered a large field, from depicting the step-by-step movements of a surgical operation to the genesis of big ears.

Dr. William H. Stauffer, state welfare commissioner, said: "There having been no indication of gross abuse occurring in the operation of the welfare program in Smyth, I anticipate that the recent incident will serve to insure against a recurrence of this situation." He explained that Smyth county incident involved the expenditure of welfare administrative funds appropriated by the county board of supervisors for last May and June after a previous appropriation had failed to last through the year. The supervisors said that sharp cuts should be made in some welfare salaries, and. Dr.

Stauffer said, the local welfare board and its employes worked out a plan, not announced to the state welfare office, whereby the amount stipulated by the supervisors was accepted and then the funds redistributed on pro rata basis so that some of the higher paid workers would not suffer such sharp cuts. After an investigation, the state board of public welfare adopted resolution declaring that the situation could be traced "directly to a lack of cooperation on the part of the board of supervisors." The Smyth county welfare board was blamed by the state board for "poor judgment in the methods they employed to circumvent the situation created by the board of supervisors," Superintendent J. F. Ward was charged with erring in "allowing himself to become a ty to the arrangements" and the resolution said that while there was no gross irregularity" there WaS was evidence "both of poor judgment and indiscretion and an intent to do by indirection what could not be done directly."
