been an effort to revise limits upward. New Mexico this year upped its limits to 70 by day and 60 at hight, from the previous limits of 60 and 55. Oklahoma lawmakers tried to raise their state's limit from 65 to 70, but opponents argued that the highway death toll already was excessive, and succeeded in killing the bill. Five states impose speed limits lower than the council recommended. They are New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Vermont. In Illinois, a measure to impose a 65 m.p.h. limit, day and night, was under consideration. * The lowa law called for a 60 m.p.h. limit at night, but specified no daytime limit The bill goes into effect on July 4. In Missouri, a bill under consideration would set a limit of 70 on divided highways and 65 on other roads. The bill has the support of the governor and the Missouri highway patrol. * Lineup On Unite Hubbed CHICAGO (UP) — Here’s how the states line up on speed limits throughout the nation: • States imposing the recommended 60 and 55: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina.

Satellite Program In Money Trouble Earth Satellite Program Is Costly WASHINGTON (UP)—The United States* earth satellite program , is in money trouble and the Defense Department is considering laying the problem before Congress for solution. The department is responsible for launching the first man-made ( moon into an earth-circling orbit sometime during the International ] Geophysical Year (IGY), which runs from July 1, 1957, to Decern- ; ber 31, 1958. The problem is this: When the White House an- < nounced the project in July, 1955, ; and before any actual work had < been done on it, IGY scientists i roughly estimated the satellite | would cost 10 million dollars. Almost casually, they said the rocket aunching apparatus wopld be extra. The U.S. National Committee for the KJY gave the Defense Department the task of rocketing the , sphere into space, tracking it by radio and providing some of the minute instruments it must carry. Now, 22 months later, the Pentagon says it has laid out $55,800,000 on the and the National Science Foundation an additional $15,800,000. That totals s7l, 600,000 with the end not yet in sight. Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson is said to be irked by the i increasing outlay of military department money for a project considered to be scientific and nonmilitary in nature. He wonders, it is said, whether the Pentagon will be reimbursed for any funds diverted to the satellite and where the rest of the needed money is coming from. f Movie Siren Sharp In Business World Elaine Stewart In Business Ventures HOLLYWOOD (UP) —One of the sharpest business minds in town—a stock market customer who owns oil wells, apartments, land, a nightclub and a factory—belongs, not to a middle - aged man, but to a beautiful movie siren, Elaine Stewart. On celluloid Elaine is a sultry beauty with long, brown hair who plays not-too-bright glamour girls and other women (“The Bad And The Beautiful”). She seldom talks about it, but a dig into her personal life discloses that underneath it all she's the brainy, executive type. “Well, you look at acting in a realistic light,” explained Elaine. “I like what I’m doing, but do I want to sit around studios all my life? I decided to get into business, too.” Started From Scratch Elaine started to save her pennies when she first came to Hollywood. She lived in a modest S4O-a---month apartment and went without a car. A friend in the stock market helped Elaine invest her savings from her salary* at MGM, where she was under contract at the time. “I got in pictures during the slow side of the movie business but on the stock market everything started booming. My stock tripled," she said. She next moved on to buy two apartment houses and open a small nightclub at nearby Malibu Beach, “The Cottage.” She bought I a tract of land near Palm Springs and soon will cash in on the desert I boom by subdividing it into lots. She is manufacturing facial I masks and a make-up that she perfected. She turned independent

Drilling OU WeUs While more famous stars were worrying over how to pay their income taxes this spring, beautiful Elaine pas drilling four oil wells in Texas. To make us spendthrifts feel worse, she hit a gusher with the first one recently. '■ “I like my double life,” Elaine grinned. “Die movie crowd doesn’t know about my business activities. The business crowd seems fascinated by the idea that a young actress would be interested in business. “Having this independence. I don’t care if my studio (UI) puts me on suspension if I don’t get the right part.” Elaine is smart in another way. She tries to keep her brains under cover. “I try not to spill the bean? and discuss my business affairs < with men,” she said. “But if it comes out, they’re always so amazed that I know about the stock market! "However, a girl should not throw it around that she’s in business or she'll appear mannish.
