Better highways, James Cope of the Automobile Manufacturers Association told Congress recently, might save as many as 15,000 lives a year. The U.S. Bureau of Public Roads has estimated that If the highways of the-interstate sys- years most fatal traffic accidents on United States highways have been blamed on "the nut that holds the steering wheel." Now experts believe that "obstacle course" highways roads with many danger spots may be as much to blame as the driver for the" 38,000 traffic deaths the United States records each year. "We've emphasized the driver's deficiencies for a long time," said Dr. Bruce D. Green-shields, traffic authority. "Now it's time to place more emphasis on better ri!griv.ays " tence today.

Crown Prosecutor John Farris has asked the maximum penalty of three years Imprisonment, but magistrate Ladner has Indicated he would show mercy wherever possible.
