Repeal Sees Cut In Arrests For Drunken Driving Richmond, Va., June 27.?Arrests for drunken driving were more numerous during the last four typi sal years of national prohibition than for the first full year under repeal, according to statistics made public today by Captain William H. Stayton, founder of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendnent, and now chairman of Repeal Associates. TV police record for 323 cities, saving an aggregate population of 16,0000,000 shows 24,455 arrests in L928, 24,248 arrests in 1929, 24,177 irrests in 1930, 24,345 arrests in 1931. In 1932 the year of changing opinion, there were only 18,938 ar ests, and in 1933, when beer was egal, there were 18,650 arrests. Last rear, when prohibition was repealid, there were 23,205 arrests. Richmond last year totalled 280 irrests for drunken driving as compared with 263 in' 1928, 297 in 1929, 128 in 1930, 231 in 1929, 328 in 1930, , 231 in 1932, and 194 in 1933. , The largest number of arrests in pities of over 100,000 population, but ess than 1,000,000, was in Atlanta, 3a., which is still "dry," since Georgia has state-wide prohibition.

A. Devin, holding court at Henderson, yesterday afternoon declined to issue an order restraining Warren and Vance counties from holding an election to determine the people's will, and dissolved a temporary injunction granted by Judge R. Hunt Parker seeking to prevent Halifax county from holding a similar election. In refusing to grant the restraining order, Judge Devin said it was without prejudice to the rights of the Plaintiffs to renew their motion for a restraining order in the event illegal disbursement of public funds be attempted. \ t Members of the Board of County Commissioners and members of the Board of Election were last week / k summonded to appear before Judge / Devin yesterday and show cause f why they should not be restrained from holding an election in Warren v -- county on July 6 in regard to the establishment of whiskey stores as provided for in a recent act of the legislature. The summons was issued after J. C. Hardy, W. B. White, G. R. Frazier, W. R. Strickland of Warren county and Charles Ruffin of Wake and F. F. Moore of Wayne counties appeared before Judge Devin seeking to enjoin the boards of election and commissioners from holding the election. The principal contention of the plaintiffs was that the ACt was unconstitutional in that it failed to be given three readings necessary for the passage of revenue acts, and that it was an illegal pledging of the county's credit. Judge Devin held that the Act did not necessarily pledge the faith of the county for the payment of debt. The jurist further stated in his opinion that "It has never been held to be beyond the powers of the General Assembly to enact a general statute and then exempt certain counties from it. And the same rule would apply if the general statute were enacted at one session and the exemption at a later session." Following the decision of Judge Devin the Plaintiffs, represented by J. H. Bridgers, W. L. Knight, W. U inr Vi orirl n T\vT Plnnm ii. i aiuuiuugn aim v im. i^ivwui) noted an appeal to the Supreme court in all three cases.
