Motorists caught going 35 miles an hour or faster hereafter will be charged with reckless driving instead of speeding, Maj. Hesse, superintend- ent of police, and Traffic Director Eldridge declded at a ‘conference yes terday. This charge would permit Judges to impose a jall sentence on the first offense. The police chief pointed out that during the past 10 days there have been 150 arrests for speeding, or at the rate of 15 a day. The conference was held to devise som# plan to check the number of such cases. Mr. Eldridge took the view that a driver going 35 miles or more an hour in the District could be arralgned for reckless driving, and Maj. Hesse agreed to issue such instructions to his men. Conviction for a second of: fense of reckless driving provides for revocation of the permit, in addition to « severe penalty.
