A study by Universal C.I.T. Credit ' Corp., largest independ ent auto finance company, shows the average speed of passenger cars could" be increased safely as much as 25 per cent. In other words, a four-hour trip could be cut to three hours. , The study was based on tests conducted by the Public Roads administration. S pee d s vere clocked on a 21-mile stretch of old road. Then the eld. road was modernized to eliminate unnec essary curves, grades, and to in crease sight distance and thus permit more . safe passing, and tests were run again.

Wilson said that if war breaks out U.S. . servicemen - may be more worried about getting their families home than they are about' fighting,, ' Cunningham agreed.-- : Dangerous Thing , "" f , "Right now it i seems a very dangerous thing to do to send families overseas," Cunningham told a reporter. He said that' he would ask, the House, Armed Services committee, of which he is a member, to look into the problem." ' Wilson told the committee last week the administration hopes' to cut down the . number of troops overseas and let U.S- al lies supply more of the '.man power needed to hold the line against Communist' aggression.; -" "We . get into a very . tough problem with dependents' if we keep our troops overseas too long," Wilson testified. "They want to live like other Ameri cans. They want their families with them. t- Different Problem ' " "Then we have difficult prob lems in those countries," Wilson said. "And if we ever-got into a war the boys would ' be more worried ': about how they ; got their dependents back home than they would be fighting, and I wouldn't blame them." There are about 305,000 . de pendents with servicemen sta tioned overseas. It costs about $70,000,000 a year more to send them and keep them over there than if they stayed home. The armed services supply not . only transportation' but also shopping facilities and schools..
