Received January 25, 10.35 a.m. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, The American Automobile Association, following a nation-wide survey, announced that the drunken automobile driver is running wild in the largo cities of the United States and should be treated as a dangerous criminal.

Detroit had 907 convictions of intoxicated automobilists in 1925, New York 292, Boston 526, Washington 293 and Philadelphia 184. The survey, moreover, pointed out that the convictions amount to less than one-third of the arrests on that charge.—A. and N.Z.. cable.
