Arizona and North Dakota have moved to raise their limits, but only if the federal maximum is raised or repealed. And, in fact, Republican S.I. Hayakawa recently introduced a repeal bill in the U.S. Senate. Yet the Reagan Administration does not intend to press the issue, even though last year's Republican Party platform included a call for removal of the national 55 m.p.h. limit.

While Anderson's program at least tries to help the retired and working people it hurts, it does nothing for the unemployed. Plain-speaking Sen. Sam Hayakawa (D-Cal.) was castigated for saying that the poor don't need to drive to work, not having jobs; Anderson implicitly makes the same assumption. Gasoline rationing would be the most fair and direct approach to short-run conservation--true plain dealing...
