Ignore Hitchhikers Motor Club Warns Many Would-Be Good Samaritans Victims Os Hoodlums An urgent and serious warning that ■ vacationing motprists avoid picking up hitchhikers is sounded by Coleman W, Roberts, president of the Carolina ■ Motor Club. “Don’t take the risk of complete ly ruining your vacation trip by gambling on a hitchhiker,” urged the motor club official. “This practice, as the American Automobile Association points out again and again, is really one of the nuisances of the roadside 1 and many a would-be good Samaritan has ended up without his cash or with out his car. Even worse, in some cases drivers have been badly beaten or murdered. “Many plead poverty or necessity, but anyone who actually needs trans portation can get help from the Trav elers Aid Society, or similar welfare organization. As for men in uniform, they are prohibited, by regulation, from seeking a. lift, except at regular ly established ‘pickup stations’.” Besides warning that uniformed hitchhikers may be imposters, Mr. Roberts cited a statement by General J. Lawson Collins, former Army Chief of Staff, that: “ ‘Hitchhiking’ or ‘thumbing of rides’ by military per sonnel is unmilitary, a discredit to the service and in certain localities a vio lation of state law.” The motor club official also quot ed FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover, in this stern warning: “Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish dangerous criminals by their looks and there is no such thing as a ‘criminal type’. Men and women in prison garb are easy to , identify, but in civilian clothes they j look, talk, and seem like the rest of I us. The hitchhiker hoodlum is dan gerous. The motorist who gambles on being a judge of character may be gambling with his life.” Mr. Roberts also pointed out that in some states the owner of the car is liable for damages in the case of accident involving passengers. This j means that if a hitchhiker is injured he can proceed to bring suit against the motorist. Ml THEATREI EDENTON, N. C.
