Government Orders Breakdown On
Misleading Cigarette Advertising
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Apr. 3.-tA9
The Government has ordered a
breakdown on what it calls false
and misleading advertising by
some of the major manufactur-
ers of cigarettes.
Two of the biggest companies
are directed by the Federal
Trade Commission to stop MAX
ing certain claims that one Gig
arctic brand is superior to an
otliers the so-calledssteease and
desist torders have kgone bat to
RI, J. Reynolds TOBACCO Company
makers of Canels, and the P Lo-
r-iilard company, which makes
Old Colds
The Federal Trade Commission
says it is also considering 7imilar
action against the makers of
Lucky Strikes and Philip Morris
cigarettes.
Says the Federal Trade Com
mission: All cigarettes contain
varying amounts of nicotine and
throat irritants" And the ETC
adds: There is no reliable basis
in fact for advertising claims that
one brand is superior to another
n these respects"

1T is to stop this needless
waste of life as quickly as pos

Funds raised here in the 1850
Cancer Crusade will finance an
expanded program to teach every
man, woman and child in Flor

them to recognize cancer while
it is still in its early, durable
stages; to help make possible
diagnosis and treatment for pat

'Fhe 100000 that is our goal

Colony has been conducting a sur

available space for beds in an ef-
fort to provide for as many as pos

plicants are in urgent need of insti-
tutional care. Howard T. Ennis,
superintendent, pointed out to the
members at the last meeting that
the beds in the cottage wards are
only Is inches apart which allows
just enough space for small
chair between each bed. In one cot
tage the beds are so close together
that the patient has chair at the
foot of the bed, space between the
beds not being sufficient for a

FIRE co. GIFTS
DEDUCTIBLE
Contributions and Gifts Con-
sidered Deductible for In
come Tax Purposes
NOTICE GIVEN TUESDAY

United States Representative j
Caleb Boggs was notified Tuesday
by an official of the U. S. Treasury
Department that contributions
and gifts to volunteer fire com.
panies will hereafter be considered
deductible for income tax pur-
poses. Congressman Boggs hac
introduced in the S0th and 81st
Congress legislation providing fol-
an amendment to the Revenue
Code which would have made such
contributions deductible. He said
that he was immensely pleased"
by the Treasury Departments de-
cision and added that he has been
told by a Treasury official that the
legislation which he has sponsored
would not now be needed since the
same purposes are achieved by the
departments action. The Trea-
sury Departments decision came
about as a result of a letter from
Rep. Boggs to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue on July 20
calling upon the Bureau of Intern
al Revenue to clarity its position
with respect to contributions to
volunteer fire companies in view of
the fact that the U. S. Tax Court
has consistently held during the
past five years that such contribu-
tions are deductible for income tax
purposes. In his letter to the COM
Mr.. Boggs cited the
specific cases in which the Tax
Court since 1945 has handed down
decisions in favor of those who
claimed tax deductions by reason
of contributions to volunteer fire
companies. In that letter Mr..
Boggs said in part: ''Will you
please let me know whether the
administrative regulations Of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue have
oeen amended to permit the deduc-
lion for income tax purposes ap-
