OTTAWA (CP) — The Cana- dian Bar Association is urging | the federal government to | amend the Criminal Code to | make breath ,tests~ compulsory | for drivers suspected of being intoxicated.

He said the Canadian Medical Association went even further than the lawyers in a resolu- tion passed in September, 1962. The CMA called for penalties against drivers with an alcohol content of .05 per cent of their blood.

The 255 member national council of the Bar Association

pproved the recommendations of the committee March 2. but increased the illegal alcohol | level to .08 from .065 per cent.’

Mr. Hansard said the British Medical Association also favors the 08 per cent ‘figure.
