"The recent strength in the leading indicators suggests that the U.S. economy will continue to expand rapidly throughout this year," Manus said.

Drive Coming For Mandatory Seat Belt Use By Robert WASHINGTON F. Buckhorn (UPI) With less - than 20 per cent of the nations motorists using seat belts, safety have launched a nationwide campaign for passage of state laws making it mandatory to buckle up or face a fine. Bills have been introduced in legislatures in Georgia, New York, Maryland, and Virginia to make the use of the seat belt mandatory. Seventeen other states are expected to follow suit, the American.. Seat Belt Council, a trade organization representing seat belt manufacturers, said. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also has issued a proposed rule to make wearing a seat belt mandatory and is expected to issue a final rule this spring. The federal rule probably would include model legislation for a mandatory seat belt law which then would have to be approved by the . . Eva price-labo- advocates I regular WASHINGTON (UPI) January 29, for the Rep. session called for by die superceded william Lehman, constitution, but the traduced a proposal to allow city proclamation of the new officials, at their option, to divert paruamtary-styl- e constitution, in their share of federal highway aid to effect abolished Congress. finance mass transit service.

Initial claims for unemployment insurance also declined but this is considered a good sign. Those increasing were length of the average work week, building permits, industrial materials r prices, stock prices, and the cost ratio. For December, the index stood at the nation's largest private employer, pledged, January 18, to eliminate job discrimination. It offered settlements totalling as much as $15 million to 13,000 women and 2,000 minority men who may have been denied promotion because, Co., , of previous company policy. William H. Brown, III, chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, said the agreement, was the largest civil rights case settlement in the nations history, dwarfing the largest previous back pay award of slightly less til an $1 million. AT&T and its 24 affiliated Bell System telephone companies agreed to pay restitution ranging from $100 to $400 to 10,000 women, mostly states. General Motors, ' the world's largest automaker, also supports the drive for the mandatory seat belt law. President Richard C. says. "making the wearing of seat belts mandatory can save thousands of lives before the air cushion safety device becomes a reality. The National Safety Council has estimated that seat belts can save up to 20,000 lives a year, but only about 20 per cent of the nations drivers use a lap belt and only four per cent use the combination seat and lap GM Ger-stenbe- rg belt. Most mandatory seat belt legislation calls for a fine ranging from $10 to $25. If the government issues a final rule on seat belts, motorists would be given a warning period before the fine became effective, a spokesman said. The stepped-u- p campaign for a law was given belt seat mandatory new force this year with the publication of the results of a similar law in Australia. The report showed that traffic fatalities dropped by 23 per cent when seat belts were made mandatory. Backers of the law argue that the belts are needed until die air bag is perfected. Under the current proposal, the air bag is scheduled tc be installed on 1976 model cars, but it will take another 10 years before older cars not equipped with air bags are removed from the highway. These cars could cause thousands of highway deaths, they argue. |
