Highways Safety Director Debate Faces Confusion
Washington AP A revived policy debate and caution slow the search for a highway safety director amid questions whether the Highway Safety Bureau should stay under the Federal Highway Administration or be reorganized. Industry favors an administrator, safety advocates push for stronger independence, while White House aides offer vague timelines. Dr. Robert Brenner is viewed by some as likely to get the job by default. The bureau, created in 1966, enforces vehicle safety standards and aids states in driver education and alcohol testing.

Nixon Seeks Federal Crackdown on Smut Mail
President Nixon asked Congress for new laws to curb unsolicited sex oriented mail, calling it the largest volume in history. He noted First Amendment limits but urged three proposals: criminalizing sexual material sent to those under 18, penalizing prurient sex advertising via mail, and extending protection against intrusive sex oriented advertising to all citizens. The plan would impose up to five years in prison and fines up to 50,000 dollars for first offenses, with stiffer penalties for later violations. He cited a 1967 law allowing citizens to opt out of such mailings.
