State Revises Suspension of Car Drivers
TOPEKA — (UPI)— A study of driver license suspensions by the Kansas Highway Patrol and state motor vehicle department has led to a modernization of the system.
Billings said that under the new policy traffic offenses have been divided into categories and given individual suspension values.
HE SAID the new policy will not affect license revocations, which are mandatory for one year in cases involving homicide and driving while intoxicated.
L. A. Billings, motor vehicle director, said the new policy went into effect May 1 after the joint study of traffic offenses and driver license suspensions.
Under the old policy when a driver received tickets for any three offenses his license would be suspended for a lengthy period of time.
Billings said under the new policy the period of suspension has been reduced but officials will be more firm in imposing it.
Billings said persons whose licenses are suspended under the new policy will find it much more difficult to get them back.
It will still take three traffic convictions before a license is suspended, but the length of the suspension will now depend on the seriousness of the three offenses.
BILLINGS SAID traffic offenses have been divided into the following categories:
Category A — violations in this category are worth 10 days' suspension each. They include running red light or stop sign, failure to yield right of way, driving left of center, following too closely, illegal turns, illegal passing and running school stop sign.
Category B — violations in this category are worth 120 days' suspension each. Reckless driving, leaving the scene of a non-injury accident, meeting, overtaking or passing a school bus stopped to load or unload passengers.
Category C — speeding offenses only. The first speeding offense will call for suspension of one day for each mile over the legal limit. Second offense will be two days for each mile over the limit. Third offense will be three days' suspension for each mile over the limit.
UNDER THIS system, as an example, if a driver received within a 12-month period tickets for running a red light, reckless driving and speeding 50 miles per hour in a 40 m.p.h. zone he would have his license suspended for a total of 140 days.
Billings said, however, that leniency will be shown to drivers who have maintained long records of good driving and then suddenly receive three tickets within a few months.
Such persons will have the opportunity of attending driver improvement clinics and their license suspensions will be stayed.
If they have no further violations in a six-month period the suspension will be waived.
Student to Participate In Mathematics Study
A University of Kansas graduate student is one of 33 chosen to participate in the nation's only advanced seminar in mathematical analysis which began a 2-month session last week at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa.
He is Larry F. Heath, Topeka. A Ph.D. candidate at KU in the field of analysis, he had received the M.A. degree in 1962. He holds the B.S. degree from Washburn University.
The Lehigh institute, supported by the National Science Foundation, has a faculty drawn from this country and abroad.
Picturephone In Limited Use In Three Cities
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The "Picturephone," enabling callers to view each other as they converse, has gone into operation for use by the general public as the latest advance in person-to-person communications.
The picturephone, which is equipped with tiny television screens, presently is available for the public only for calls between New York, Washington and Chicago but other cities are expected to be added in the future.
MRS. LYNDON B. Johnson helped inaugurate Picturephone from Washington with a call to Dr. Elizabeth A. Wood, a Bell Telephone Co. engineer in New York.
OTHER CONVERSATIONS were between Rep. Oren Harris, D-Ark., chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, and Mayor Robert F. Wagner. The congressman spoke from Washington and Wagner from New York.
Mrs. Johnson praised the Bell scientists for the development and said it was a "great thrill" to be part of the inaugural ceremony. She noted it would be a "great joy" for parents in keeping touch with their children at college.
Harris and Rosel H. Hyde, Federal Communications commissioner, then spoke with Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, D-Wash., head of the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, who was in Chicago.
Another advantage of the picturephone was demonstrated with a conversation between two deaf students, Laura Rabinowitz, 15, New York, and Howard Mann, 14, Chicago, who carried on a conversation by reading each others lips.
Picturephones presently are installed in booths set up at Grand Central Station in New York, the Prudential Building in Chicago and the National Geographic Society building in Washington.
It may be quite awhile before this latest electronic miracle is available for homeowners, one reason being the cost, which ranges from $16 per three minutes between New York and Washington to $27 between New York and Chicago.

SAMSON CAME to Lawrence in 1956 to teach Latin and English at Central Junior High School. He started teaching at LHS in 1959, and took on the duties of newspaper and yearbook advisor in 1960.
CROTONVILLE, N. Y. — (UPI)—A new wireless television camera which operates under normal lighting conditions makes it possible for televising trials without interfering with them. Frank Stanton, Columbia Broadcasting System president, reports.
He was a graduate of Wichita University and earned his master's degree from Emporia State University.
Samson's wife died last May 24. Surviving are a son, Rick, who will be a junior at Bethany College in the fall; a sister, Wynema Van Hoesen of Wichita; three brothers, Hugh of San Francisco, Dean of Little Rock, Ark., and William of Harve, Mont.; and his mother, Mrs. Mary Samson of Wichita.
Camera to Depict Trials Is Unveiled
Speaking at the conference of New York state trial judges here, Stanton demonstrated the camera, smaller than a lunch pail, which can be operated by one man. The entire unit, he said, weighs less than 29 pounds. It is called the Minicam Mark II.
"The camera and the microphone need not be any more intrusive than the movement of a lead pencil," he said.
"Electronic communications, in this time of social unrest, offer the higher courts of our states and our nation an opportunity fully to bring the people, whom they serve, and to whom they are ultimately answerable, within reach of their presence, their intellectual influence and their moral force," Stanton said.

Dead Nazi's Words Incriminate Men on Trial
Ex-Nazi SS Lt. Maximilian Grabner's 40-page report, written before he was executed in 1947.
