Lawrence Asks Tight Laws
To Curb Speed Violations
HARRISBURG <2P) Gov.
Lavvrence—memories of a family
highway tragedy still with him—
yesterday proposed get-tough leg
islation to curb speeding on Penn
sylvania highways.
Lawrence’s ready smile faded
as he told newsmen speed laws
"must be tightened, up” to make
auto license suspension manda
tory for the first speeding viola
tion.
Highway safety has been a sub
ject close to Lawrence’s heart
since he lost two teenage sons in
an automobile accident during
World War 11.
The governor said legislation is
now being drafted to pattern the
commonwealth’s speed laws close
ly after the Connecticut system
and remove the present regulation
calling for a warning for a first
violation.
In Connecticut a motorist auto
matically loses his license for 30
days after the first speeding vio

In welcoming him at the city’s

ecutive said relations between the
two nations are truly satisfactory.
Throngs of cheering, flag-wav

gave Eisenhower such a rousing
reception that they tied up the
city streets in a gigantic traffic
jam.

Under the system no restricted

that would, for example, allow a

income Tax
Ban Lifted
HARRISBURG (/P) —A minor
ity on the Constitutional Revision
Commission has decided to sub
mit a report recommending that
the state constitution's prohibition
against a graduated income tax
be lifted, a commission member
said yesterday.
The House Democratic leader
ship was sounding out Republican
sentiment for using the minority
report as the basis for a new leg
islative test on the income tax.
Miss Genevieve Blatt, - internal
affairs secretary, said she has
written a minority report giving
the views of herself, Mayor Rich
ardson Dilworth of Philadelphia
and Mrs. Robert L. McGeehan,
legislative chairman of the League
of Women Voters, that the consti
tution should be changed to per
mit graduated taxes.
Rep. Stephen McCann, House
Democratic leader, said the com
mission’s proposals—both minor
ity and majority—would be laid
before legislative leaders of both
parties at a meeting here March 1.
McCann said he has proposed
to Rep. Albert W. Johnson, House
GOP floor leader, that they joint
ly sponsor the package of about 30
bills to be drawn from the com
missions’s recommendations.
Asked whether he might join in
sponsoring a graduated income
tax amendment, however, John
son told a newsman: “That I won't
know until I discuss it with the
Republican caucus.”
McCann would not say whether
the Democratic majority in the
House would push the tax amend
ment if Republicans refuse to put
their names to the bilL

Heart Doctor Asks
Intensified Research
WASHINGTON (/P) —Ultimate decisive victory over heart
disease, including large-scale prevention, is possible if re
search is highly accelerated and intensified, Dr. Howard
Sprague, a Boston heart specialist, said yesterday.
From the same platform where Dr. Sprague made this
prediction, Rep. John E. Fogarty
(D.-R.1.) accused the Eisenhower
administration and its Budget
Bureau on making cutbacks in
medical research appropriations
requests and of misleading the
public as to the pace of medical
research.
Fogarty said current budget
requests for medical research
are 12 to 13 million dollars less
than the administration sought
a year ago. He said the cut
back includes a lwo-million
dollar drop in funds for heart
disease research.
He and Dr. Sprague spoke at a
symposium where some of the
nation’s top heart doctors gave a
report to the nation on advances
made in the last decade in treat
ment and diagnosis of -heart dis
ease.
The theme developed was that
new and better surgical and med
ical treatment and diagnostic
methods as well as advances
towards prevention can be ex
pected, provided continuous and
generous support is given for
heart research.
The billlon-dollar spenders
are after you again!
Lying in wait for you and other taxpayers is an
unnecessary expense of ten billion dollars.
It’s being set up by the most expert big
spenders of your money—the lobbyists and pres
sure groups who promote federal "public power.”
This ten billion dollars is in addition to five
and a half billion already spent for federal gov
ernment “public power”—all collected from you
and Qther taxpayers.
And it's all so unnecessary! Because Amer
ica’s many independent electric light and power
companies are ready and able to supply the na
tion’s electricity needs— without your tax money.
What can you do about it? Plenty! Spread
the word among your friends and neighbors. As
soon as enough people know they are paying
needlessly for federal government "public
power,” they will stop it.
