Safety rules on cars say no effect on highway deaths
University of Chicago economist Sam Peltzman argues that auto safety regulations since 1966 increased yearly accidents by 3 to 4 million and left highway deaths unchanged as drivers adopt riskier behavior because safety devices protect occupants. He contrasts with highway researchers favoring safety devices like seat belts and energy absorbing components.

18 Billion dollar tax cut could win House approval
Washington report notes the House Ways and Means Committee may approve at least an $18 billion tax cut by next week. The plan from Rep. Al Ullman combines a $6 billion rebate with $8 billion in permanent cuts and $4 billion in business incentives aimed at the poor and moderate earners. The proposal differs from Ford's plan by emphasizing withholding reductions and limiting rebates, targeting those under $30,000 income with a 10 percent cap of 1974 taxes.
