False Advertising
(Cigarettes Must
He Stopped
WASHINGTON, (TP)—The gov
ernment today ordered a crack-1
down on what is called "false and
misleading advertising" by some
major cigarette makers.
The Federal Trade Commission
directed two of the largest com
panies to halt certain claims that
one brand of cigarettes is superior
to another.
The so-called “cease and desist”
orders were against R. J. Reynolds
Tobacco Co., makers of Camel
Cigarettes, and the P. Lorillard
Co., producers of Old Golds.
FTC said it also is considering
similar action against the Ameri
can Tobacco Co. and its Lucky
Strike cigarettes as well as Philip
Morris, Ltd., and the cigarettes
which bear that company’s name.
“All cigarettes contain varying
amounts of nicotine and throat ir
ritants,’ the commission said in
announcing its action, “and there
is no reliable basis in fact for ad
vertising claims that one brand is
superior to another in these re
spects.”
FTC’s action against the cigar
ette makers was the outgrowth of
proceedings started in August,
1942.
Its order that Camels and Old
Golds halt what FTC found to be
false and misleading advertising”
represents a final decision on the
part of the commission. The com
panies may appeal to the courts,
however.
Aside from the contemplated
action against Lucky Strike and
Philip Morris cigarettes, the com
mission said in its 4,000-word
statement that it is studying the
advertising practices of Pall Mall
cigarettes, made by American
Cigarette and Cigar Co. of Dur
ham, N. C.

Seattle and Portland staged a
verbal battle before the board
over which snould be the terminal
for the Alaska air service.
Tom Alderson, representing
Seattle, told the board Seattle al
ways has been the terminal for
service to Alaska from the United
States and with its news airport
could furnish better service with
a shorter distance to the Trritoi*y
than Portland, Great Falls, Mont.,
Minneapolis-St. Paul or Chicago.
He said no time was lost in ship
ping through Seattle.
Virgil H. Langtry, representing
Portland. Ore., urged the board to
1 make that city a terminal for the
! Alaska service. He said commerce
from the Portland area would am
ply justify the board making that
decision.
The Seattle “monopoly” on
transportation to Alaska should be
ended, he said. This, he added,
would benefit Alaskan economy,
i He contended it is economically
' wrong to confine Alaska to one
Pacific Northwest gateway and
that direct service from Portland
would be in the public interest.
J. R. Turney, representing Chi
' cago, urged the board to authorize
a direct airline from Alaska to
Chicago. He said he believed this
would aid in the development of
Alaska.
Gerald P. O’Grady, counsej for
Pacific Northern Airlines, who
was criticized by Greuning for
saying yesterday that his company
was “only incidentally” interested
in serving Juneau, disclaimed to
day any intention of dropping the
Territorial capital from the line's
scheduled stops.
O’Grady said he was referring
only to income derived by his line
from the city. His line wants to
extend its route to Seattle.
The Board took the case under
advisement with no indication
when it may rule.
In his arguments lor the non
skeds, Governor Gruening declar
ed: “I happen to believe in the so
called American system of free
' enterprise. It is under this sys
tem that aviation largely devel
oped in Alaska. Our bush pilots
are the finest example of pioneer
[ ing and their bush flying, which
has matured and developed into
the more important intra-Alaska
carriers, is the fruit of individual
initiative and free American en
terprise and that is likewise pre
eminently true of the non-skeds.
“If I were making policy for
this board I would let the laws of
competition operate. I would let
those who are unable to make the
grade eliminate themselves. It
somehow runs contrary to the
conception of free enterprise,
which we are at this moment up
holding in the world, to see indi- j
vidual initiative, effort and un
dertaking throttled by government
decree. 'The CAB order, which re
sulted in reduction of service). If
you do not want to let them live as
uncertified non-scheduled lines,
then certify them.”
