John Briggs and the four suspects Airbags, seat belts to be mandatory in every car WASHINGTON (UPI) Transportation . Secretary Brock Adams ordered auto makers yesterday to put airbags or automatic seat belts on new luxury and full size cars in late 1981 and on all models by the fall of 1983. "We are determined that the car of the future shall be a socially responsible vehicle which combines the best our technology can offer in both safety and economy," Adams said in announcing his order. He estimated the man datory safety systems will save 9,000 lives or more a year by the mid-1980s, at an added consumer cost per vehicle of $25 to $lOO for the new seat belt system or $lOO to $3OO for airbags. The auto industry and consumer advocate Ralph Nader attacked the ruling. Detroit called it a high-cost, second-best approach com pared to laws requiring the use of existing seat belts. Nader claimed Adams yielded to political pressure by imposing the new restraints starting in 1981 rather than 1980, and by applying the new require ments last to small, fuel efficient cars. The insurance industry said the new ruling will save lives, reduce injuries and hold down the rising cost of auto ac cidents. Rep. Bud Shuster, R-Pa., chairman of the National Transportation Policy Study Commission, introduced a House resolution urging Congress to overturn Adams' order. Nader, however, predicted both the House and Senate would support the new requirements. Adams' order, which will go their meetings with Carter. Wood, administrative assistant to former Attorney General Richard Kleindienst when he was deputy attorney general, refused to comment on what he might do as FBI director. Welch also turned aside reporters' questions after his interview in the Oval Office. Carter had not instructed a year eariler when unem ployment was higher. This represents about 5.3 million households, using the agency's calculation of 3.2 persons a household. The USDA uses a special "thrifty food plan" to com pute food stamp benefits. Unlike the food prices used in other . federal cost-of-living statistics, the USDA bases its estimates on food likely to be consumed by low-income families. Its. plan includes more cereal products and less meat and dairy items than more affluent families usually consume, but the USDA considers it a "nutritionally adequate diet." Depending on its size and adjusted income, a family is required to buy a certain amount of stamps but then gets bonus coupons to greatly increase its buying power at the store. Nationally, food stamp recipients average about $lO worth of coupons for each $4 they spend on them. For, example, under the new formula a family of four with an adjusted income of $l9O to $2lO a month will pay $53 to get a total of $l7O in stamps a bonus of $ll7 in free coupons. It has been paying $53 to get $166 in stamps each month. arrested for Hillsborough's killing. The action wds brought under a federal civil rights statute of 1861 and said that' Miss Bryant and her organizations in Florida in cited an atmosphere that resulted in the stabbing death of Hillsborough.

Attorneys who filed the suit said they were also directors of Pride Founda tion, a' non-profit organization supporting rights of homo sexuals. by 1983 into effect unless Congress rejects it within 60 days, established a three-step schedule to phase in automatic devices able to save the lives of front-seat passengers at crash speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. It called for either airbags or automatic seat belts to be standard equipment on new vehicles by: Sept. 1, 1981, for cars with wheelbases greater than 114 inches. An estimated 2.5 million 1982-model cars will fall into that category. Sept. 1, 1982, for cars with wheelbases greater than 100 inches. An estimated 5 million 1983-model in termediate and compact cars will fall into that group. Sept. 1, 1983, for all passenger cars, including 2.5 million 1984-model sub compacts and mini-size cars. Adams said the ruling applies to foreign cars sold in the United States as well as to domestic models. He said new small cars were given the longest to comply because it will be harder to fit them with the new systems. All cars would retain standard seat belts in addition to the new devices. Adams said he has asked General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota and Mercedes Benz to continue a voluntary program that would put some 500,000 vehicles with air bags or automatic seat belts on the road before 1981. U.S. auto accidents now claim 130 lives a day, with the toll hitting 47,000 deaths and 400,000 injuries a year, Adams said. him to remain silent, he said, "I'm just naturally quiet."
