Ford to Revise
Mileage Claims
For Falcon Line
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion says the Ford Motor Co.
has agreed to revise the mile
age claims it makes in adver-
tising its compact Falcon pas
senger cars and pickup trucks.
The company signed a Stipu-
lation in which it agreed to
abondon claims that Falcon
owners have consistently at
tained up to 80 miles per gal
Ion under ordinary driving
conditions. The stipulation says
such mileage is not generally
achieved.
Ford also agreed to stop
claiming that Falcon pickups
delivered as much as 1873 miles
a gallon or averaged 30.5 miles
per gallon in certified tests
without disclosing the testing
conditions.
According to the stipulation,
the Falcon pickup did not de-
liver 1873 miles per gallon un-
der normal driving conditions
as implied in advertising but
only on a flat country road at
a constant speed of 80 miles
per hour with no starts or
stops"
1t said further that the 30.5
miles per gallon was not at
tained under normal driving
conditions, but under simulated
traffic conditions with a pre-
determined schedule of stops
and starts.

FAST ACTION PLEDGED
FTC Chief Launches
Attack on False Ads
BY GEORGE SHERMAN
Star Staff Writer

Paul Rand Dixon, new chair
man of the Federal Trade Com
mission, mounted an all-out
attack on false advertising to-
day in his first major policy
speech since taking office.
We're going to move faster
at FTC," Mr.. Dixon warned a
meeting of the Association Of
National Advertisers at the
Sheraton Park Hotel.
Mr.. Dixon lashed out at the
"once-over-lightly experts" who
he said thought his administra-
tion at the FTC would treat
false advertising "as a minor
evil"
False advertising becomes a
monopolistic weapon as vicious
as any other" he said. 1t
swings two clubs, he added, one
against the consumer and the
other against law-abiding ad-
vertisers who lose customers to
unfair competitors.
The FTC will bring heavier,
faster-firing guns" to bear, he
said, through two major
changes to speed-up law en-
forcement proceedings. First,
hearings on any case will be
brought together and expedit-
ed; second, one man will have
responsibility for the develop
ment, trial and forward prog
reSS" of each case.
To judge from some of the
present hearing schedules, Mr..
Dixon said, You would think
that lawyers and witnesses still
had to travel by horseback and
canal barge"
Its amazing how much fast
er things move if a person, not
ian organiZational chart, is
made responsible for their for
ward progress" Mr.. Dixon
added.
He attacked the past tend
ency of the FTC to allow a
false advertising campaign to
run its merry course across
the country until it dies Of ex-
haustion and is buried by its
sponsors.
II say that the commission
had better concentrate on halt
ing false advertising while it
is still claiming victims, rather
than wagging a wise finger at
the misdeeds of yesteryear," he
said.
Toward that end he would
like to have the power - not
now in the law-to issue temp
orary restraining orders against
"palpably misleading advertis-
ing pending a trial of the is
sues"
| Mr.. Dixon heaped scorn on
what he called the widespread
misconception that only the
little fellows" comprise the
irresponsible Few advertisers
who have been besmirching the
good name of the Honest Over
whelming Majority"
. Citing from recent FTC
cases, he said:
I'VE also have recently
taken action to halt misleading
advertising by such not so lit
tie companies as General Mo-
tors. Ford and Chrysler. They
agreed henceforth not to mis-
represent mileage claims for
their compact cars. Other ac-
tions were directed against
Colgate -Palmolive for tooth
paste claims; against Eversharp
for deceptive TV demonstra-

More than 300 marooned

Buses Are Stranded
A Greyhound dispatcher in
Indianapolis reported his COM

because of heavy drifting in a
10 to 80 mile area.

/ wonder why the name
of the crab plant on Bayou
Casotte was not included in
this action by the county
attorney concerning the
terrible odors" of the pogy
plants.
The areas Of Bayou Ca
sotte, Lincoln Heights and
even Pascagoula, when east
wind blows, are plagued by
nauseating odors as they
burn crab refuse and fish
rejected by the cat foot COM
pany to make fertilizer.
We have been trying for
almost three years to get
local, county, state and even
the governor to take some
action that will correct this
pollution of the air.
/ have a letter from the
county attorney dated July
Is, 1860, in which he stated
that legal action would be
taken Immediately if action
was not taken to eliminate
the odors. A year has passed
and no action has yet been
taken.
There is also a health
menace as many barrels of
spelling fish and crab refuse
are left outside uncovered
overnight to attract blow
flies, maggots and rats. On
Friday, June Is, 1861, the
slip was full of rotting fish
that had been dumped, not
the first occurance.
There should be more than
windy words to fool the
public if we are to live in
an unpolluted atmosphere.

Two things we want to say at
the beginning of this resume of our
opinions about the Freedom Rid

II We have waited this long

ion that we would blush for later.

the sit-ins at private establish

this way with nary split lip to
show for their trouble.
The Ride organizers can save
themselves further embarrassment
by calling a halt to the touring
companies they are dispatching
Southwark and by diverting their
efforts to the legitimate areas in
which the Negro needs to assert
his rights - and by asserting them
through regular channels and not
by sponsoring contrived, inflam-
matory sideshow filibusters into
the South.
Legalized bigotry is wrong. But
so is the deliberate taunting of
bigotry with violence as its goal.

the fate of its Little Theatre.
Unless you show up tonight or

now there is not enough money in
the theatre Golfers even to pay

It's all right to read what

tremor to your voice which
merely convinces your listen
