Howard Reppert of Des the end of this year. Because of reapportionment he would have to move to a different section of Polk County to run again for the Senate this Reppert said, "Each of the seven sessions that I have been privileged to serve in has enacted measures that have accelerated the economic growth and social wellbeing of the people of Iowa. "Iowa is on the move and we want to keep it moving ahead." Moines says he will seek the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor.

Reppert, 50, said in a prepared statement Thursday he feels his seven sessions in the legislature gives him a good background for the job. Reppert was chairman of the Senate Governmental Subdivisions Committee in the 1967 session. His present term expires at Bridge Plan Tax Hike Put At 3.25 Mills The proposed $3.1 million Mel-rose-Court Bridge project would boost property taxes in Iowa City 3.25 mills the first year bonds are sold, according to City Manager Frank R. Smiley. The manager said that millage assumes 5 per cent interest, a 30-year life on bonds, and a continued increase in the tax base of about 4i per cent per year.

He noted changes in any of the three would change the millage. Smiley said the mill rate would decline steadily over the 30-year period to about one mill in the final years. The city recomputed the millage rate at the request of Mrs. Dale Erickson of 86 Olive Court who had questioned an earlier estimate of three to four mills. She said it appeared to her the cost would be nearer eight mills.

ty alone, many feel that the driver is now doing about as much as can be expected of him and that the present system involves operations too complex, too fast, too dangerous and too monotonous to be controlled without extensive use of automatic devices," O'Mara said. "Though an automatic control system eventually may differ from today's arrangement in many respects," O'Mara said, "there is an immediate need to deal with a combination of WASHINGTON, DC. An "all-out, intensive effort" to develop a feasible automatic control system for the private automobile was urged Thursday by a University of Iowa engineer. John J. O'Mara told the National Research Council's Highway Research Board here that the solution to the country's burgeoning transportation problems may be in "an integrated system" which reduces the driver's role in operating the motor vehicle.

"From the viewpoint of safe HOWARD REPPERT Political Advertisement Political Advertisement "Research could begin immediately with federal and state funds already appropriated for research and highway safety, and additional millions should be available from public health funds," he said. The Iowa engineer warned that the cost of the system "would be considerable," but he added that this cost "may well be repaid by gains in efficiency and reduction in accident experience." In 1966, 53,000 persons were killed and almost 2 million persons were Injured in auto accidents which cost our economy $10 billion, he pointed out. "Many authorities agree that a reasonable degree of safety and efficiency will come only with a large measure of auto wheeled vehicle, road and driver not differing substantially from the present components." The Iowa professor said that the "technology of automatic control is available and feasible," but he added that highway engineers have not yet agreed on what is to be accomplished by the system. O'Mara suggested three basic aims of automatic control. They are: -That the vehicle should move efficiently on the highway from entrance to exit.

That the vehicle must hold properly to an arranged path. That the vehicle must not collide with a person, another vehicle or other object.

O'Mara also suggested as "subsidiary conditions" that the system must fail safely and that required changes in the vehicle must not impair its mobility off the controlled system. He went on to say that existing knowlege of accident causes is "sufficient to enable us to specify most end results required" and that there is no reason to delay research work on automatic control until better accident Investigation techniques are developed. sic including "March of the Golden Brass" by John Caca-vas, "Cornet Carillon" by Ronald Binge and Brockenshire's "Glory of the Trumpets."
