Criticized Ad Claims
Long Since Dropped,
Cigarette Firms Say
Dy the Assoesotsd Press

Two tobacco companies ordered
by the Federal Trade Commission
to drop advertising claims held to
be false and misleading" have
come back with statements that
most of the material found OBJ
jectionable had been discontinued
long ago.
The companies-R. j. Reynolds
Tobacco Co. for Camels and P
Lorillard Co. for Old Golds-de-
MED they had ever Intentionally
used any false advertising.
The commission centered its
complaint particularly on claims
that the cigarettes contained less
irritants than other brands.
Statement Issued.
In Winston-Salem, N. c., off,
cials OF the Reynolds CO. said all
OF the advertising themes COM
planned of by the commission were
discontinued more than five years
ago, most of them even before
the complaint was issued, and that
the commissions finding of facts
confirmed this discontinuance.
Reynolds also replied to FTC
with this statement:
Notwithstanding the order of
the commission, officers, of the
Reynolds Co. emphatically said
that they had never used any ad-
vertssing themes known to be
false"
Lorillard Replies.
In New York, Lorillard said in
q statement:
"P. Lorillard Co. denies that It
has been guilty OF any intentional
false and misleading advertising
and is Of the opinion that the de-
cision and order of the Federal
Trade Commission are unjustified.
In fact, our nationally famous
slogan, "A treat instead of a treat
ment,' with no therapeutic claims,
OF any kind whatsoever, clearly
states the company's advertising
philosophy.
Most of the allegations of the
complaint, which was filed more
than seven years ago. deals with
advertising matter which has long
ago been discontinued by the
company"
The order prohibits the two
companies from claiming that
their cigarettes contain less nico-
tine, tars and resins than other
leading brands" of cigarettes, or
that the smoke from them is less
irritating to the throat.
The companies may appeal the
decision to Federal courts If they
wish.

GET OUT THE VOTE

There has been endless talk in the United States
for many about the power of the labor vote the
farm VOTE the Irish vote and the vote of various other
groups. But it easily be demonstrated that no COM
as the stay-at-home vote.
Those who vote belong to the governing class Those
who fail to vote belong to the class that is governed
that truth could be firmly driven home perhaps the
present. Since ours is Government, not only of and
Tor the people, but by the people, when many fail to
play their part whole political mechanism becomes
Ike high powered automobile that is hitting only
three cylinders.
The number of potential voters in the United States
IN the election of 1948 92.S million. The actual
vote cast for President 48834000 525 per cent
OF the total. 1t follows therefore, that the number
OF nonvoters in the election of 1948 approximately
Al million, figure exceeding by about 13 million the
population of the United States at the outbreak of the
Civil War, counting men, and children, including
million slaves.
Here in Montgomery County, now registered are
37S68 Democrats; 1879 Republicans; 1896 Declines
and IL miscellaneous, making total of 57,675 voters
At the time of the presidential election in 1948 in this
county, there 34,085 registered Democrats and
l554 Republicans Of this number 49, 407 persons cast
votes, or 1858 percent.
There is always difficulty in getting people to the
polls Notwithstanding the most strenuous efforts of
party workers. political machines and all sorts of special
committees to get out the votenot to mention the huge
of money spent for legitimate purposes to
and stimulate the interest of the electorate What would
have happened if such effort had been made is of
course matter for speculation 1t may be taken for
granted however, that the poor showing achieved would
have been much worse
9 Religious forces throughout the Nation are pushing
for better-than-ever turnout of voters, especially
church members, at the polls.
For several years past, church groups have been

rel.
The Rockets hard driving left

full, the score 1877.
