...young intern from Harvard Medical School ('53), Dr. William Haddon Jr. adopted the custom of wearing bow ties because "I didn't want a tie draping over patients." Today, as administrator of the three-month-old National Traffic Safety Agency, Haddon still remains considerate of his patients. Last week, amid the chrome of the annual Detroit Auto Show, the industry's brass gathered to hear what Haddon's agency had in mind. To their vast relief, they discovered that they could live pretty well with Haddon's opening list of mandatory safety regulations...
...Haddon outlined 23 safety features that he proposes to see added to all '68 model cars. Automen have until Jan. 3, 1967 to make protests. The list, with or without amendments, will go into effect on Jan. 31. It seems unlikely that many objections will be made, since most of the innovations are already incorporated into '67 models, and Haddon dropped two original proposals-standard-height bumpers and rear-window defoggers-which caused earlier concern on the part of auto companies...

Since September, all automakers have been required by law to report possible defects to the new National Traffic Safety Agency, whose director. William Haddon, has the authority to make the reports public-if he sees fit. Last week Haddon saw fit: he announced that more than 500,000 late-model cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles have been recalled by domestic and foreign manufacturers to check on some 40 potential flaws. These statistics were deceptive, and Ford Division General Manager Donald Frey, for one, was quick to note that probably no more than 5% of the recalled cars actually had anything...
...named a representative to talk sweet reasonability to Government officials. Appointed president of the Automobile Manufacturers' Association, at a salary of about $100,000 a year, was Thomas C. Mann, former U.S. Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs. With headquarters in Washington, Mann will work closely with Haddon, serve as the industry's spokesman while the new safety rules are being formulated. The State Department's longtime top expert on Latin America (TIME cover, Jan. 31, 1964), Mann retired last June, has since spent most of his time writing a book about...
