Alcohol and Speed Key Factors in Vermont Fatal Crashes
Vermont highway deaths totaling 34 this year show speed as a factor in about one third and alcohol involved in nearly one fifth. Statistician James G. Young notes 27 and a third percent tied to liquor and speed together, with overall fatalities up over 30 percent from last year while the first quarter of 1964 rises 11 percent. Johnson, incensed by Alabama killings, seeks Klan legislation once Congress acts on the Negro voting rights bill, with GOP leaders aiming for a May 1 vote. Senator Hugh Scott cites GOP support for anti Klan measures and notes past party rejection of a formal repudiation last year.
