From the results at- itained in the Capital under the direc |tor of traffic, all municipaliti having analogous traffic problems can take a lesson to be applied to solution of their own difficulties, having in mind the conclusions reached by the na- tional conference on street and high- way safety held in this city last De- cember. These are the views of Secretary of Commerce Hoover, expressed today on the second day of the new traffic re- gime, from observations made by M: Moover, who is chairman of the na- tional conference, took a leading part in drafting a safety code which has |been incorporated in the statutes of | nearly a score of Statesand which has received the indorsement of traffic ex: perts all over the country.

Court Attitude Changes. Theé campaign of traffic education applied to both motorist and pedes- trian, Mr. Hoover said, has resulted | in a general improvement in traffic laws over the past two years and a | decided lowering of the fatality rate in automobile accidents. “Two vears ago it was not easy to get the back- ing of the courts in full enforcement of the traffic regulations,” Mr. Hoov- er said. “The courts were inclined to be lenient. Today everywhere the have united in enforcing the traffic regulations, giving the maximum ‘pen- alty in many cases and backing up the regulations completely."” “Reckless driving and any other fla- grant disregard of the rights of others by any user of the streets or high- | ways should be vigorously and unceas- |ingly prosecuted,” the national con- ference recommended.
