About T .30 o'clock yesterday morn­ing. Johnson and his partner. Patrol­man Everett Kolb. were cruising in Fuhrmann Blvd. near Tifft St., when a car zoomed past.

The patrolman said he and his partner "risked our lives on that chase, and the guilty plea should have been accepted.** Johnson pointed out Tomaka had

been arrested and convicted last Win­ter on a reckless driving charge.

City Judge Willis G. Hickman ex­plained later that he "advised the de­fendant that if he were convicted he would be liable to a fine and license revocation. That is mandatory, and

Toniaka if his family was aware he was in "a very serious jam."

"I don't want to take a plea of guilty unless you receive legal ad­vice." the judge told the motorist, adding it was routine and mandatory that he advise the defendant "for his and the court's protection."
