FTC Charges TV Picture Tubes Misrepresented .
WASHINGTON Wl The Fed
eral Trade Commission (FTC)
i Thursday charged Muntz TV Inc.,
of Chicago with exaggerating the
size of the picture tubes in its tele
; vision receivers and misrepresent
I ing that the sets are sold directly
from the factory.
A commission complaint said
the horizontal measurements of
viewable area of the picture tubes
in the Muntz sets are not 21, 24
and 27 inches as claimed, but con
siderably less. These claimed
sizes, the FTC said, appear in the
company's newspaper advertise
ments and are marked on the sets
themselves.

FTC also said the sets are not
sold directly to the purchaser
from "factory outlets," but are
sold by retailers who buy the ap
pliances from Muntz. The FTC
noted that many purchasers pre
fer to, deal directly with manu
facturers or factory outlets, in the
belief they will get lower prices
and other advantages.
The commission said these al
leged practices deceive the pub
lic and divert trade unfairly from
competitors. Thus, FTC said, they
violate the law.
The company and its president.
Earl W. Muntz, were given 30
days in which to file answer to
the complaint. A hearing is sched
uled before an FTC examiner in
Washington next Jan. 21.
County Health Doctor Speaks
To Riversdale Extension Unit
By ADDIE SCHNEIDER
Dr. .Mary Soules of the county
health department spoke to the
Garden Valley-Kiversdale Home
Extension Unit recently on Asian
Flu.
She stressed the fact of being
careful of complications caused by
the flu, rather than the disease
itself. She also urged everyone to
use the vaccine against the flu.
Another topic was the discussion
of polio shots for people 40, years
old and over. Although the primary
concern has been for children, the
availability of the serum is plenti
ful and adults are encouraged to
secure its protection, Dr. Soules
said.
Attention was called to the child
guidance clinic in the health de
partment. Aid to emotionally dis
turbed children is given by com

Chinese Execute Anti-Communist
HONG KONG Wl Peiping Ra
dio Thursday reported the execu
tion of "counter revolutionary"
Lo Chi-Kuei, accused of fingering
the 1943 murders of Mao Tze
Tung's brother and two other
senior Communists.
The broadcast said he was ex
ecuted Nov. 6 after the Supreme
Court in Peiping upheld the death
sentence.
Lo was arrested in June, 1956,
and sentenced by a municipal
court to 20 years imprisonment.
The Peiping Peoples Daily said a
new trial was ordered after a
"flood of protests" that the sen
tence was too lenient.
Lo was retired October, 1956,
and sentenced to death by the
Liaoning Provincial S u p r m
Court in Manchuria.
Mao Tzc-Min and the other two
senior Communists were mur
dered in 1943 while in jail in Sin
kiang where Lo was a ward of
ficer. The Peoples Daily said Lo
killed more than 250 Communist
Party members and innocent peo
ple during his service in the Na
