The House hopes to pass a bill to reduce speed limits on state highways to 55 miles per hour, according to Speaker Andrew Varley, R-Stuart. President Nixon last week signed a law to conserve fuel, which gives states 60 days to reduce speed limits or face loss of federal funds. Daytime speed limits in Iowa now are 75 miles an hour on interstate highways and 70 and 60 m.p.h.

on other highways. First on the agenda for the Senate is swearing in Cliff Burroughs, 56, a Greene Republican, who was named to the Senate in a special election to replace former president pro tern Vernon Kyi of Parkersburg, who died last fall.

The legislature is set to meet in' joint session 10 a.m.

Tuesday to hear Gov. Robert Ray's State of the State message. Most of the remainder of the week will be taken up in committee meetings. "I hope we can give some of the committees that have special problems extra time so we can get Rome of the major bills out at the end of the first week and get them on the calendar," Neu said. Varley said House committees will also be working hard the first week.

"There's some possibility of bringing up the no-fault automobile insurance bill in committee next week so we can get that Varley said that hopefully enough major bills will clear the committee next week so the full House can work in session the second week.

Senator Dick Clark Favors Public Campaign Financing Slayings Evidence Given to Defense BY CHUCK OSTHEIMER Senator Dick Clark (D-Iowa) said Wednesday in Estherville he believes the Federal income tax system needs revising, but he doesn't think it's possible to revise the tax structure until legislation for public financing of campaigns is passed.

Clark stated, "It's not uncommon for a person with an income similar to President Nixon's to pay a similar amount of income taxes," and noted that several persons in the United States with much higher incomes pay no tax at all. He also pointed out that exemptions used by these persons are currently legal under the present tax structure. But Clark stated that he believes it will be impossible to change the tax structure to any degree before public financing of campaigns eliminates politicians seeking funds from higher income persons. Clark said that he is cosponsoring a bill which would establish an election commission, limit the spending of a political candidate and all campaign bills would be paid by the election commission. He also noted that public financing of campaigns will not become a law unless, "the people it.

Incumbents raise money than opponents on Iho ffvafaje." In referring to the 'fuel crisis' Clark said, "the biggest problem is finding out if there is a shortage. "We really can't answer that question until we pass a law requiring the oil companies to make public knowledge inventories and supplies, which we don't have access to at the present time." Clark stated that he felt the price freezes caused some of the shortages but there has to be some limit on price increases. "We have to allow sufficient price increases to provide a supply," he said, "but when you go past a certain point, such as -SENATORCLARK Continued on Page 4 ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) The Lyon County attorney's office has been ordered to relinquish to defense attorneys certain materials it has gathered in the case of three brothers charged in the Shotgun deaths of four South Dakota youths. Lyon County District Court Judge Edward F. Kennedy granted a defense motion Wednesday that requires the prosecution to turn over certain documents, records and evidence.

Kennedy last week also approved a defense motion to hire an investigator to look into the Nov. 17 shotgun slayings of the Sioux Falls, S.D. teen-agers in Gitchie Manitou State Park in northwest Iowa.

Charged with four counts of murder each are three Sioux Falls area brothers, Allen Fryer, 29, David Fryer, 24, and James Fryer, 21. The bodies of the four boys, ages 14 to 18, were found Nov. 18 in the relatively secluded Iowa state park about 10 miles southeast of Sioux Falls. The brothers were arrested without resistance at their three homes Nov. 29.

James Fryer is to be released Friday from a Sioux Falls jail where he is serving a 90-day sentence for grand larceny. Officials said extradition proceedings to Iowa will begin after he is released. VISIT FROM CONGRESSMAN MAYNE Wiley Mayne stops in the hall for further discussion following his question-and-anawer session Wednesday morning in the student-packed auditorium at Iowa Lakes Community College. Large contributions to campaign funds were under fire as Mayne noted that some members of Congress turn them down.

Congressman Mayne Keeping Open Mind on Impeachment Tire Prices to Climb WASHINGTON (AP) The government has approved price increases for the tire industry averaging about 3.3 per cent and has scheduled hearings on proposed additional increases. The price hikes authorized by the Cost of Living Council on Wednesday, effective Jan. 15, would increase the price of a steel-belted tire now costing $40 to $41.32. If the additional price requests are approved, the same tire could sell for $42.80.

However, tire manufacturers could conceivably add another 10 per cent to the price under a council guideline allowing such additional boosts for individual items so long as the average increase does not exceed the authorized. The 3.3 per cent increases, applicable to tires and tubes, were authorized for Armstrong Rubber Cooper; DunlopTire Rubber Firestone Tire Rubber General Tire Rubber; Goodrich; Goodyear Tire Rubber and Uniroyal Inc.

Mayne responded, "It is a reality, in that there have been resolutions filed by about 30 congressmen." Those resolutions have been referred to the Judiciary Committee, he said, where the staff is gathering "a multitude of information already in the files of other the Administration Committee has been checking into the circumstances of the improvements at San Joint Taxation Committee is checking into the president's tax and many, many other committees," he continued, mentioning the Senate Watergate Committee. The committee will study the that the House investigation was "in the nature of a trial," with any charges that might be brought against the President to be tried in the Senate. Asked about Iowa opinion on impeachment, Mayne cited newspaper polls, adding that he found his constituents "quite violently split. Some feel he should be impeached; others feel there has been entirely too much emphasis on the matter." Another questioner asked, "Based on what the people have told you, what are your feelings toward impeachment?"
