Kennedy To Speak On Prisoner Deal Palm Beach, Fla. - OTP -President Kennedy was de scribed Monday as delighted by the Cuban prisoner ex change and prepared to say something about it once the transfer of ransomed captives was completed. As he and his family cele brated Christmas together in the same borrowed beach front home that they oc cupied last Yuletide, Kennedy closely followed reports of the prisoner exchange flights. The Chief Executive elected to play the role of a spectator until the exchange was com pleted.

The prediction was made today by James K. Williams, director of the newly-created office of highway safety in the Bureau of Public Roads. But he warned that the ty features, cannot do the system, with its built-in safe job. He said that many mo torists, even those who con sider themselves good drivers. may have to learn to drive again to cope with the super highways. He said techniques devel oped for stop-and-go driving on conventional highways are inadequate on the high-speed move large volumes of traffic in the shortest time. Along the east and west coasts where expressways have been In use for some time, Williams said, drivers have adjusted in differing de grees. But In the other areas where long stretches of roads without traffic lights and in tersections are more of a nov elty, a driver education pro gram will be needed. Williams said the slow driv er or dawdler has no business on an interstate road. The dawdler is particularly dan gerous, he said, when he in sists on driving In the left or speed lane. He forces others to move in and out, a dangerous maneuver at high speeds, he added. slowpoke Is a mence. Wil liams said It Is difficult for a driver moving along at high speed to gauge the speed of the car ahead. The result can be a rear-end collision. He said more and more states are recognizing the haz ard of the slow-moving car and posting minimum speed limits. interstate driving: Getting on the freeway: Enter gradually, build up to normal speed in the nearest tlirniiph lane anrt then, when a safe gap appears, merge into ins nearest lane. Leaving the freeway: Pre pare well in advance. Move into the slow-down lane, and drivers should check their speedometers to make certain they have slowed down suf ficiently. Could Be Deadly "If you miss your exit," he cautioned, "don't stop and back up. That could be dead ly. Continue to the next exit." Highway hypnosis: Wil liams suggested that drivers keep moving their eyes con. tinuously to avoid the hypno sis induced by the monotony of high speed driving with Its resultant sense of false secu rity. Stopping: If a driver has car trouble or must stop he should first use hand and di rectional signals and then make certain he has pulled far enough off the road.
