All Drunk Driving Suspects
To Receive Chemical Tests
RLEJGH? Motorists In
small towns and rural areas
suspected of driving "under
the Influence" will now rec
eive the same type of chemical
tests that previously have been
used chiefly In die State's
larger cities.
On September 1, Goveraoi
Moore announced that
Chemical test equipment and
trained operators would be
provided far each of the Hi
ghway Patrol's 36 districts.
The move Is a part of anew,
Intensified enforcement pro
gram against drlviig under
die Influence of Intoxicating
beverages.
The Governor said firme
enforcement measures were
recommended by the North
Carolina Traffic Safety Auth
ority after a study of acc
ident records revealed that
drinking drivers may be in
volved In as many as hal
of all fatal collisions.
"Chemical testing of dri
vers suspected of drunker
driving will help separate die
guilty from the innocent," said
Governor Moore. "It is
another effective instrument
In our total traffic program."
In complying vith the Aut
hority's ????""T*ilttion. the
Department of Motor Vehicles
has obtained a "Breath
alyzer" machine for each pa
trol district. Forty troopei
have been certified as Bread
alyzer operators by the State
Board of Health.
State Motor Vehicles Co
mmissioner A. P Us ton Got
win, Jr., feels that cbemica
testing of drinking drivers ii
a protective measure for du
innocent as well as evideaa
against the guilty.
"Every step will be takei
In every case to assure tha
the machine is functioning
properly and the techniciai
when a case is tried."
Major Edward Jones, Patro
training and inspection dir
actor, feels the addition c
trained troopers will be
big boost to chemical testln
operations in the State.
The Highway Patrc
operators will work n^i
with city and county office:

Under state law. an off

of chemical testing.
This extensive background,
says Spider, "is designed to
enable a trooper to provide
expert testimony when a
drunken driving case goes to
court."
Operation of the Breath
' alyzer is "fairly simple",
says Spider, "and is fool
proof when used according
to a set of easy-to-follow
procedures."
In an actual test, a per
son is asked to breathe into
a small tube protruding from
the machine. If he has been
drinking, a chemical in the
machine will react to the al
r cohol in his blood and register
on a meter.
North Carolina law states
that "it shall be presumed
that a person is under the
influence of intoxicating liq
" uors" if there is a .10 per
cent or more alcohol in his
blood at the time he is tested.
When a technician becomes
i proficient in the operation of
the Breathalyzer, he is per
I mltted to conduct tests, using
persons who have consumed
t -alcohol under controlled con
ditions. Laboratory tech
nicians supervise the tests,
, advising and grading on tech
. nlque and mastery of infor
mation.
In addition to frequent
s quizzes, technicians must
, pass comprehensive exam
inations on both classroom
and laboratory instruction
before they are certified by
j. the State Board of Health.
Every 16 months, they must
, also complete a four-day re
. training course.

Taylor Backs
Indian Loan Bill
WASHINGTON- An Indian,
who leases land on a reser
vation, finds it almost impo
ssible to borrow money from
private sources for borne pur
chases or construction.
A bill to help remedy the
situation had the support of
11th District Congressman Roy
A. Taylor, a member of the
House Indian Affairs Sub
committee, when it passed the
House Tuesday.
Working much like the gov
ernment-backed FHA and (3
mortgjge insurance programs,
the bill would provide federally
guaranteed, insured home and
business loans for Indians.
Representative Taylor said
passage of the bill should imm
ediately make reservation
bound Indians more attractive to
formerly unreceptive lenders.
"It promotes private enter
prise development and will
increase living standards for
American Indians everwhere"
said Taylor.
He noted that among rec
ipients of benefits will be the
Eastern Band of Cherokees.
In a floor speech in support
of the bill, the Congressman
declared that while "tight
money" currently affects
most Americans, it is a cond
ition long familiar to Indians.
"There has been a great need
down through die years for an
adequate supply of funds to fin
ance Indian enterprises", Tay
lor declared.
He said the lack of available
cash has resulted In "in
adequate housing and retarded
economic development."
