Moving in the Right Direction on Auto Safety Standards
The U S Secretary of Commerce would set compulsory auto safety standards by January 31 1967 under a measure passed 76 to 0 in the Senate. The bill advances to the House where hearings on a similar measure have wrapped up and passage seems likely. Models for 1968 would be affected, with sales starting September 1967. The plan also includes state safety programs with driver education vehicle inspections and stricter licensing, backed by a 25 percent cut in federal highway aid for noncompliant states, aiming to curb the high highway death toll without absolving drivers.
