Justice gap stuns Hope case after drunken driving plea
In Hope, Judge W. K. Lemley sentenced Winston Booth to the new Arkansas first offense penalty of a $100 fine and one day in jail for drunken driving, following a collision that seriously injured Mr. and Mrs. Ar ies Walker. The change, enacted in the 1950s legislature, reduces penalties and proves controversial. A local reader laments the lack of a temperance lobby and calls for tougher enforcement. The article also notes Molotov’s shifting position in a Moscow-era photo and comments on American democracy versus Soviet portrayal.
