Says Indiana Speed Laws Confuse Public INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - Indiana highway chairman David Cohen told a legislative study committee today that the state laws on speed limits confuse the public and may be a traffic hazard. Cohen urged the committee to consider studying existing statutes on speed limits with the idea of producing a single new law to cover the present amended statutes. The Indiana Highway Study commission interviewed Cohen and executive director George Goodwin on problems of the highway department. Cohen said new laws which went into effect this week hiking speeds on Interstate highways from 65 to 70 miles per hour and making other changes were "confusing to the public.” "One thing your committee might do is to take the existing legislation, study it and adopt one flew statute.” he said. Goodwin said here are four combinations of speed limits now for passenger cars, buses and trucks under and over 5,000 pounds weight. The new law allows passenger cars to travel up to* 70 on interstates, 65 on other open state highways, 30 in residential districts and 20 in business districts. Trucks over 5,000 pounds are limited to 55 miles an hour on dual roads with a dividing strip of 20 feet of more, or 50 on other roads. Buses may go 65 on multilane highways or 55 on other type roads. The Indiana Toll Road also has a different set of speeds. There are other regulations for speeds on county roads. “I find myself looking more at the speedometer than at the roads,” Cohen' said. Goodwin also told the committee crews are having difficulty interpreting the new law referring to 20-foot-wide divider strips since these strips vary in width on the same road.

Buddhist Nun Bums Self In South Viet Nam SAIGON, South Viet Nam (UPI) —A buddhist nun burned herself to death today in the coastal town of Ninh Hoa, reliable government sources reported. It was the fourth Buddhist suicide in recent weeks in protest to government policies. Ninh Hoa is about 200 miles north of Saigon, about 200 miles from Hue City where a novice Buddhist priest burned himself to death Tuesday. Previously, two other Buddhist monks had committed suicide by fire in a growing campaign of protest by the Buddhists who have accused the regime of President Ngo Dinh Diem of religious and political discrimination. The government has denied the charges. The sources reporting the latest suicide said the bun was named Dieu Quang. They said she was in her early 20s, but others said she was older. The sources said her charred body was taken away by government officials. In Hue City police accordoned off the main Tu Dam pagoda, making virtual prisoners of the 150 Buddhist priests, nuns and followers inside. The government has clamped a virtual but undeclared state of martial law on that predominantly Buddhist city following the Tuesday suicide of 17-year-old novice priest Thich Thanh Tue at the Phuc Duyen pagoda, 3% miles outside Hue. Tension was reported high in Hue City, where government troops and secret policemen waded into a group of Buddhists with steel helmets Wednesday and took away Tue’s body when the religious group tried to take it into the city for funeral rites and burial at the Tu Dam pagoda. The government insisted that the rites be held at the place where Tue killed himself, indicating it felt that any religious procession in Hue City in the present state of tension could result in more violence.
