Ohio One of the growing Kaiser Industries ILLINOIS TAKES PART IN DRIVER REGISTER SERVICE Illinois' participation in the National Driver Register Service is benefiting both Illinois and the national program. Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier said today. The National Driver Register ; is designed to detect "border i jumpers," motor vehicle drivi ers whose licenses have been |revoked or suspended in one ! state because of convictions for | driving while intoxicated or inj volvement in a fatal accident, j and to prevent them from obtaining a driver license in another state. ' ! I Based on reports ?from the | I various states, it provides for I a listing of those drivers in the I Bureau of Public Roads of the ! i'U. S.' Department of Com-j i meree. v\ hich may lie checked I , by any state when a new resident applies for a driver li- j cense. Illinois' four years of experi- | 'eriCe with electronic processing j of driver records has proved of j value to members of the Na- j tiori'al Register staff, and Illi-. nois benefits by having avail- j able the driver records of new arrivals who apply for Illinois j licenses. Secretary Car pent ior ' • said. | As a result, Illinois can be ! reasonably sure that it will not j issue a valid driver license to • a person who only a short time j earlier had his license revoked j in a iother state for driving . while intoxicated or for involvement in a fatal accident. | , he pointed out. j The national service has been in operation since July 1 and , in that brief span of two months Iht number of "border jumpers" detected has substantially exceeded the number an- ! ticipated. Secretary Carpenticr said. Ovcr-populaiion wouldn't be so had. if every person carried his share. Help a Needy Ki«f~.
