J. Phipps of Orange County Court' this week announced his own decision on more,drastic punishment for those convicted of vdranken-driving. • .: In the future, sjaid Judge Phipps, convictions for drunken driving in his court will bring automatic jail sentences in addition to the $100 fine now being imposed on first offenders. He indicated the jail terms would not be of long dura tion- -two to five days - but they would be imposed automatically upon all found guilty in the coun ty court. He expressed the hope such sentences would constitute sufficient deterrent to substantial ly reduce the crime of drunken driving in this county. He pointed out that those who might expect lighter treatment in appeals to higher court are doom ed disappointment since a num ber of Superior Court judges are already following a policy of au tomatic jail terms in drunken driving cases. In the last term of Superior Court in this county, the single conviction of drunken driv ing brought the defendant a seven-day jail sentence from Jud ge William Hatch, the presiding judge. In Monday’s session, five of fenders were convicted of reck less driving charges and one was sentenced for drunken driving.
