But Ctah. a state with few major cities and long driving distances, came in second And Missouri, a state with several major population centers and long-distance driving, was in third place. No one is sure why those three states are leading the nation, but a spokesman for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says state enforcement of lowered nationwide speed limits may play a part Law officers in both Missouri and Utah report the number of speeding citations issued so far this year is running far ahead of last year's totals Rhode Island also has a get-tough policy on speeders The nation's death toll has declined about 25 per cent in the first half of the year but there seems to be no geographic pattern to the reductions. Utah's death toll dropped from 168 to 96 for a 42 8 per cent decline. But Montana's death toll decreased only 1.5 per cent from 131 to 129 Missouri's death count went from 702 to 406 for a 42.1 per cent decline, but neighboring death rate dropped only 7.9 per cent from 341 to 312.

The suite's enforcement activities have increased dramatically In 13 counties of western Missouri around Kansas City, patrolmen handed out 3.204 tickets for speeding violations in April, compared with 1.029 in April 1973. Other states also have cut their traffic deaths sharply North Dakota recorded a 39.5 per cent decrease in its death rate in the first six months, while Indiana's death toll showed a 37 per cent decline BULLETIN HUNTSVILLE, Tex.

Lt. Gen Abdel Gamasy, as saying was confronting the possibility of a resumption of war It added that Egypt has braced itself for any eventuality arising from Israeli war preparations, that Israeli leaders have been waging a war campaign, and that mobilization of Israeli reserves was under way In Beirut, pro-guerrilla newspapers said Russia has agreed to supply the guerrillas with defensive weapons, including ground-to-air missiles and antiarmor weapons. They said the arms agreement was one result of guerrilla leader Yasir talks with the Soviet leadership.

But Lebanese Minister of State Albert Mukheiber said the Lebanese army was for the protection the border and indicating Lebanon will not allow Soviet arms for the Palestinian guerrillas to enter Lebanon. The Beirut papers also claimed Moscow had recognized Palestine Liberation Organization as the sole representative of the Palestinian people, and as the rightful ruling power in any Palestinian state.

Greeks Turks work on cease-fire lines NICOSIA, Cyprus AP) Turkish troops continued their steady push against the last uncaptured peaks in the western Kyrenia mountains Saturday as Greek and Turkish officers met in Nicosia to thrash out details of cease-fire lines and buffer zones.

In Ankara, Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash called for a complete federation in Cyprus. He did not elaborate on the concept but said it would be different from Turkish Cypriot demands for local autonomy before the July 15 coup that toppled President Makarios and led to the Turkish invasion of the island July 20. Turkish leaders have said the kind of federation they had in mind for Cyprus would not violate the independence and territorial unity of the Mediterranean island, where some 490.000 Greek Cypriots and 115.000 Turkish Cypriots live in separate communities. Gunfire much less evident in the mountains Saturday than during the previous burst of fighting, but shots echoed occasionally aross the craggy slopes. United Nations peacekeeping troops observing the scene from a small, unofficial, buffer zone on the northern coast, said the Turkish invading force had moved across almost the whole length of the mountain.

DAILY RECORD Patterson speaks at GOP picnic energy. Watergate we as Republicans cannot duck our heads on these Claude Patterson, candidate for the Fourth District U.S. House of Representatives, told 100 persons at the semiannual Republican Party picnic Friday night. Patterson mentioned a report made at the direction of President Harry S. Truman in 1950 which outlined the necessary energy resources and problems the U.S.

would be facing 25years hence. since that time we have had 24 years of a Democratic-controlled Congress which has not acted on the suggestions of their own party Patterson said. the incumbent (Rep. William Randall) is trying to make political hay out of an energy committee which he is heading. I have nothing but utter contempt for those who have been ignoring these energy needs for.the past 24 won say what will happen to the Watergate problem today I have heard people canonize him and others put him before Patterson said.

Republicans have accomplished one phenomenon, according to Patterson they have voted to find out the truth. leaders of the two Capitol Hill committees investigating Watergate have had their own suppression of Patterson charged. Ervin struck out of a committee report that Larry O'Brien (former Democratic Party chairman) had received from the milk producers." Representative (Peter) Rodino also has excluded contributions he has received from the same milk Patterson said. have flung the gauntlet at the Democrats to investigate their own problems. We want them to come Patterson also charged that Randall has been voting and talking sides of the Patterson said Randall did not get through Congress one signed bill between 1969 and 1972.

July 23 I invited the incumbent to engage in open debate on the Patterson said. campaigning is a thing of the past.

3. One candidate (Continued from Page 1A) children in any school, public or nonpublic, and at any level, grade school or college. Collins, 60. semi-retired businessman, is seeking public office for the first time. He is in favor of extending the Merit System to all state employes and says the office should audit the welfare system more often.

Collins opposes busing of school children except in cases where an education otherwise would be impossible to obtain. Ashcroft is a lawyer. Lehr is a Certified Public Accountant and Fine has a degree in public administration. All three favor audits of more political subdivisions. There are about 2.000 that go unaudited each year.

Ashcroft, who got the nickname from some of the capitol reporters because of his daily prayer sessions, has accomplished more audits than any previous auditor, and his audits have been criticized as political in nature. They have been thorough and hard-hitting. Ashcroft disagrees that they have had political overtones. A Methodist minister. Ashcroft recently made a record of gospel songs.

Fine has said the audits of counties have been too technical, that minor errors should not be detailed in audit reports, that the main purpose of auditors should be to uncover fraud and law-breaking.

One doctor said. did a lot of stitching, but we gave up sewing up people's feet. They were bound to get infected: so we just belted them and instructed them to see their physician.

We know they didn't they even know they were The physicians estimated that 1.200 to 1.400 persons were treated for drug-related problems and that many were treated for knife wounds, gunshot wounds and other injuries. uestion is it possible that a person can actually have insurance upon his life and be unaware of it? nswer Yes, this is quite possible if credit life insurance is involved. In recent years it has become routine for lending agencies and sales companies to insure the lives of people who owe them money. The cost of the insurance is included in the monthly payments. The debtor may be unaware of the fact he is insured for the unpaid balance of the contract.

Credit unions and some savings institutions have insurance which pays not only any loan indebtedness but also matches a percentage of the amount on deposit. It is our responsibility to assist those families we serve in determining all of their rights and benefits. This is another exclusive aspect of our service for which there is never a charge.
