Ike Demands An Explanation Washington (LTD Presi dent Eisenhower considers it "ridiculous" that the Pentagon is studying under what condi tions this country might sur render in an atomic war, the White House said today. He has demanded an explanation from officials. A Defense Department spokesman acknowledged that such a study has been made. White House Press Secre tary James C. Hagerty told newsmen the President .con sidered the study "ridiculous." Hagerty said the study was brought to Eisenhower's at tention by Republican con gressmen at a White House conference Tuesday. The Pres ident immediately asked the Pentagon what it "was all about." Hagerty said Eisenhower was more curious than angry about the matter. The Defense Department spokesman said the study was completed some time ago. He said an effort had been made to determine what con ditions had caused nations to surrender in past wars and to find out what conditions might lead this country to capitulate in a future war.

AT 50 MILES PER HOUR whit your foot dees this No matter how alert you may be, no matter hew good the condition of your car may be, you can't stop on a dime. At 50 miles per hour, you would flash past more than 800 dimes placed side-by-side, or 55 feet before you eould even get your foot on the brake. The average person takes about three-fourths of a second to step on the brake after he sights danger. This is called reaction time, and it's-a serious matter to a driver. Reaction time becomes measurably slower os you grow older, or if your physical condition is not up to par, or if you have had a drink or become tired. Only when you know how to adjust your speed to suit oil conditions can you really say you know HOW TO' DRIVE.
