ETC Challenges
Claims in Ads
On Contoct Lens
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion is undertaking a Nation
wide breakdown against al
legged false advertising of con-
tact lenses.
Among claims challenged by
the FTC were those that all
persons can successfully wear
contact lenses, that the lenses
cause no discomfort, and that
they offer a complete substi-
tute for eye glasses.
According to the commission,
a significant number of people
cannot successfully wear con-
tact lenses and practically all
will experience some discomfort
at first. Also, the FTC con-
tended In a statment yester-
day, discomfort will be pro-
longed, if not permanent, in a
significant number Of cases.
Separate complaints were
filed against 10 sellers of con-
tact lenses from coast to coast,
none in this area. FTC Off
cials said they expect more
complaints to be filed later.
Charles Weeney, legal adviser
to the FTC's bureau of investi-
cation, said the complaints
were made possible by a recent
expansion of the agency's pro-
gram for reviewing newspaper
advertising on a systematic
basis.

New Lighting
System Urged
For Air Safety
BY CHARLES YARBROUGH
Star staff Writer

A radical new approach light
landing aid for jet planes or
the smallest private aircraft
has been recommended to the
Government for ADOPTION as a
national standard on airports.
The Federal Aviation Agen-
cy's research and development
bureau has made the recon-
mendation following intensive
evaluation of five different
types Of visual glide path 1ndi-.
Gator lights.
Its proposal to adopt the
British-d developed system is
now under study by E. r. Que
sada, FAA administrator and
final action is expected within
80 days.
Tried at Atlantic City
1t is now in operation on
Runway 13 at the FAA's Allan
tic City experimental center
and until August 5, all pilots
are invited to fly the system in
their own aicraft without max
ing prior arrangements.
Use of the glide path lights
opens new safety possibilities
in landing accidents and has a
noise-reducing potential by
giving pilots a correct approach
angle.
The British system, known
as the RAE CRoyal Aircraft
Establishment provides IL.
light units, arranged in bars
with three units placed on
each side of the runway, 750
feet from the threshold and
identical units placed 500 feet
further down the runway, 1,20O
feet from the threshold. Each
unit has a white light with a
red filter.
Cost Is Moderate
In his descent to the airport,
the pilot sees the front row as
white and the back row as red
on both sides of the runway.
If he is too high, he sees both
rows of lights as white; if too
low, both rows are red.
Engineers estimate the full
RAE system for an approach
to one runway at large airports
could be made for about $10,-
600 where an approach light
system already exists.
The figure would run to about
100000 for full installation, but
the engineers say a smaller
airport could equip one runway
for fraction of the $4,000
cost.

agencies absorb part of the pay
raise cost would not result for
the most part in actual firingS
Of employees. In most instances,
agencies could absorb their
part of the cost through the
attrition method over the next
12-month period.
It's not considered likely that
agencies and departments will
be required to absorb all of the
cost of the rs per cent CLASH
fed employe pay raise bill, but
only a set percentage.
Exceptions Noted
Also, there are expected to
be exceptions in cases where
departments and agencies can
prove that any curtailment of
personnel would seriously cur
tail their programs.
For example. the Post Office
Department probably would be
exempted, since it already re-
ports a shortage of personnel
to. handle the continuing in
crease in the volume of mail.
Also, some of the defense
and other vital Federal units
probably would get special
consideration.
Some dismissals may be nee
essary, particularly in the
smaller agencies. but these lay
offs would most likely be con-
fined to a minimum.
The smaller agencies have
less funds to manipulate and
less leeway in trimming per-
sonnel to absorb some of the
cost.
