—even by a president A United Press survey failed to turn up a Slagle Statehouse chief who condoned speeding by public officials. Only three admitted ever having been stopped and none of the three was a flagrant violator. President Eisenhower drew critical comment this past weekend when press ears foiiowtng- hmr to Gettysburg, Pa., were stopped for speeding. Newsmen said the President’s car, • which was not detained, sped ahead at about 70 ffi.p.h.

The following day National safety Council President Ned H. Dearbom said he thought “no public official should be immune from speed laws.” Tennessee Gov. Frank Clement admitted he sped a bit in California during the 1956 national campaign, but said he slowed down in his home state "because somebody might see me (speeding) and I might lose a vote.” It was generally conceded, however, that concern for safety rather than politics held governors’ speeds to legal limits. t “Excessive speed is the No. 1 killer on our highways and streets,” Texas Gov. Price Daniel said. “Speed limits are set for everyone. There should be no exceptions for public officials. We should set the right example.” Others who made special mention of their agreement with the council were Pennsylvania Gov. George M. Leader, Idaho Gov. Robert E. Smylie, Georgia Gov. Marvin Griffin, Arizona Gov. Ernest McFarland and Alabama Gov, James Folsom. A handful of governors went so far as to say they always drove under state speed limits. Illinois Gov. William G. Stratton, according to his driver, has established a policy of “start early, don’t go over 60, enjoy the ride.” • Illinois has no fixed speed limit.) Others who said they made a practice of going slower than maximum legal speeds were Florida Gov. Leroy Collins, North Dakota Gov. John Davis and Griffin. The three governors who admitted being stopped for speeding were Michigan Gov. Mennen Williams, Washington Gov. Warren Magnusen and Smylie. Smylie said he was stopped in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, three years ago for going 20 m.p.h. in a 15 rn.p.h. zone. -I .went to the justice of the peace and paid my fine,” Smylie saidS To no governor, however, does the driving problem come closer to home than Wisconsin Gov. Vernon Thomson. While Thomson was attending a recent safety conference, his teenage daughter drove the family car into a tree. Lenten Services At St. Paul's Lutheran Lenten services will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at St. Paul’s Lutheran church at Preble. The pastor, the Rev. O. C. Busse, will deliver the fifth in a series of sermons on "Memorials of our Savior”s nassion.” The topic of thR weeks sermon is “The Crown of thorns.” -The passion story, .jnterspfgad,..with singing of Lenten hymns and prayers, will be read. The public is invited to attend.

Senate Votes Power To Sell Farm Surpluses Authority Granted To Barter Goods To Soviet Satellites •_ WASHINGTON (UP)—President Eisenhower has won a fight in the Senate for power to barter U.S. farm surpluses to Russian satellite nations in return for strategic materials. The authority was contained in overall legislation to increase from S 3 to 14 billion the amount of farm surpluses which may be sold abroad for foreign currencies. The measure, which passed the Senate Monday by voice vote, now goes to the House. Before the final vote, the Senate defeated 54-23 an amendment by Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland that would have left in effect a current ban on such barter deals with Iron Curtain nations. Foreign currency sales to such nations still would be prohibited. The bill also would raise from SSOO million to S9OO million the administration’s authority to give farm surpluses to nations hit by disaster. The present law is scheduled to expire June 30. Two Democrats and 21 Republicans voted (or Knbwland’s amendment to continue the prohibition against barter with Iron Curtain countries. Voting against it were 35 Democrats and 19 Republicans. Knowland contended that removal of the prohibition was "only the opening skirmish” in a fight over whether U.S. aid would be extended to Iron Curtain countries in an effort to woo them at least partly away from Russia. The Senate GOP leader said he would oppose all attempts to use money of U.S. taxpayers “to bolster any Communist regime behind the Iron Curtain.” Both friends and foes of the Knowland amendment assumed that Poland would be the only Iron Curtain country which was likely to derive any immediate benefit from the barter proviso. Gen. George D. Aiken (R-Vt), ranking GOP member of the Agriculture Committee, said the prohibition against barter with Iron CBtttein countries "has played direWy into the hands of the Russiefts"—and not against them as 1 had been intended. Agriculture Secretary Ezra T.‘ Benson said Monday night that if there is an opportunity for the United States to “trade, barter, or sell any of our farm commodities” to such countries as Hungary and Czechoslovakia “we should be in a position to take advantage of it.” Benson said if "we’re going to get our share of the' markets of the world, we have to go out and fight for them and fight for them vigorously.” Lenten Service At Reformed Church The series of mid-week Lenten services will continue in the Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church on Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. In this service, which is the fifth in the series, the pastor, the Rev. William C. Feller, will preach the sermon on the theme: "The Fruit of the Spirit.” Special music will be furnished by Michael Kaehr, whq will play a trombone solo, ‘ The Old Rugger Cross.” All members and friends of the church are invited to worship in this service.
