Other measures sent forward would correct deficiencies in the vehicle equipment statutes (by requiring ad equate steering gear and forbidding use of tires with fabric or bulges showing) and would authorize spe cial re-examinations of mentally and physically handicapped drivers, and drivers with serious accident and vi-. olations records. RETIREMENT AND SOCIAL SECURITY Public employees may soon be able to vote to come under the extended coverage of OASI (Social Security).
