CAR POWER LIMIT
Suggestion In U.S. Of 90m.p.h. (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) WASHINGTON, March 21. The United States Traffic Safety Agency will consider imposing a power limit of around 90 m.p.h. on cars made in America and imported from abroad, said Dr. William Haddon, the agency’s chief. Testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee, he said it would be quite possible to produce cars that could not exceed 90 m.p.h.—or lesser speeds—without detracting from the accleration and pick-up capabilities.
Dr. Haddon and his staff recently brought out a controversial series of safety standards which home and foreign car makers must incorporate in vehicles sold in the United States after next January 1.
