Tough Enforcement Policy
Urged For July 4 Traffic
CHICAGO With the nation
facing an all-time high traffic
death record this year, two lead
ing traffic safety organizations
have called for a tough enforce
ment policy during tire Fourth of
July holiday.
The National Safety Council and
the International Association of
Chiefs of Police said that appeals
to driver responsibility must be
supplemented by strict enforce
ment of the law to curb the heed
less and reckless minority.
Such action is the. only effective
way to hold down the death toll
on an immediate and short-term
basis, the two traffic safety groups
agreed.
The joint enforcement recom
mendations for the 30-hour Fourth
of July period were:
1. Cancel all days off for police
and put every available officer on
duty. Assign as many personnel
as possible in plain clothes and
unmarked cars to traffic patrol,
especially from b’ p.m. to midnight
on Tuesday and Wednesday.
2. Concentrate manpower or.
