Higher Minimum On Roads Urged INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-State Traffic Safety Director Floyd A. Kline said today the, action of a legislative study committee in approving a bill to establish 40 miles per hour minimum speed on interstate highways was “a step in the right direction but not enough.” Klint said he believes a minimum of 50 mph on interstate roads would be a greater safety factor than 40 mph. The Indiana Highway Study Committee at a meeting Tuesday recommended six proposed legislative changes. One calls for a minimum speed of 40 mph on interstate highways and on the Indiana Toll Road. Other proposed bills would create separate highway districts for the two most heavily populated counties of the state— Lake and Marion—and would require the conservation department to pay half of road construction costs in state parks. Presently, the highway department pays all the cost. Kline said the Governor s Traffic Safety Committee has Two Enrolled At Ball State College MUNCIE, Ind. — Two high school graduates from Decatur recently spent two days at Ball State Teachers College attending a freshman orientation program and enrolling for fall classes. They were Charlotte Ellen Gephart and Jerry Lee Liby. Miss Gephart is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. True Gephart. 122 She is a graduate of Decatur high school, where she was president of the home economics club. She will major in elementary education at Ball State. Liby is the son of Mrs. Neva Liby, R.R. 3. He is a graduate of Monmouth high school, where he was a member of M-club, annual staff, basketball, baseball, track, and cross country. He plans to major in social studies at Ball State. Trade in a goox town — Decatur

considered backing a bill calling for a 50 mph minimum speed on interstate highways and on the toll road. He said he has heard another measure is being prepared for the 1965 Legislature which would allow the highway department to conduct traffic engineering studies and set minimum and maximum speeds for interstate roads. However, he said he did not know what group is behind this proposal. ‘‘We must establish a minimum speed on interstate highways before we get many more of them,” Kline said. "Forty miles an hour minimum is a step in the right directiorj, but I wonder if the difference be-

tween 40 and 70 mph is not too wide?" "The interstate highways were not built for Sunday drivers. They were built to move a large volume of traffic at high speed from one major city to another. We have lost sight of this purpose,” Kline said. Kline said he felt certain that the various backers of a minimum speed on interstate highways and on the toll road would work together rather than fight each other on what the speed should be.
