J. Nephler, general sales mana: ger of the Oakland Motor Cat com pany, thinks that some uniformity of state and municipal laws and regulations applying to motor traf. fic should be adopted, either through conference or otherwise, to help the motorists in their sincere desire to comply with all regulations. vast majority of motor tour ists are not wilful violators of the laws, he points out.
