CAMDEN MAN HELD AS DRUNKEN DRIVER A hearing on drunken driving charges against John Czetyrka, 48, of 1176 Morton street, was ordered held over until tomorrow in Police Court yesterday. The charges were lodged following an accident at Ninth street near Fairmount street Sunday at 3 a. m., when an auto assertedly driven by Czetyrka hit the car of Elwood Urbanowicz, of 1326 Jackson street, then continued going until it crashed into a pole on Fairmount street. Officers Vernon Jones and George Weber, who arrived on the scene a short time later, testified Czetyrka was intoxicated but the case was continued so that Urbanowicz might be present to identify him as driving the car.

OWNER DROPS CHARGE IN TIPSY DRIVING Refusal of a Camden man to press a drunken driving complaint aroused the ire of Judge Mariano in police court yesterday. The defendant was John Czetyrka, 48, of 1176 Morton street, who was charged by Elwood Urbanowicz, of 1328 Jackson street, with being the driver of an auto that struck his car early last Sunday and then hit a pole on Ninth street. The case was postponed from Monday when Urbanowicz failed to appear in court. Urbanowicz refused to press the charges. He told the court he was "sore" when he caused the arrest of the driver. "Did the $25 paid for damages to your car relieve your soreness?" said the court. Then Mariano added: "Can you realize your own child being killed by a drunken driver?" Mariano then postponed the case until July 29 pending further investigation against Czetyrka.

Sunday. Ptl. John Troutman identified the young motorist as Thomas Sepicato, of the 1300 block Morton st. According to Troutman, Sepicato was driving south on 27th st. when the car door opposite the driver's side opened. In trying to close the door, Sepicato lost control of the car and it crashed into the firehouse door, breaking several panes of glass in the door and narrowly missed plowing into a hugh hook and ladder truck parked inside the firehouse. After the crash, the boy jumped out of the car and fled, according to police, but was captured a half-block away by Laddermen Phillip B. Stinger and Edward DeHart and an unidentified taxi driver. William F. Bosset, 19, of the 1200 block Chase st., owner of the car, said he had asked Sepicato to get some steak sandwiches and had "jokingly" tossed him the keys to the car but did not "expect" the boy to drive. Sepicato, who was turned over to the custody of his parents, was given a ticket for careless driving and driving without a license. Bosset was given a ticket for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate his car.
