The federal trade commis sion served notice that from now on It would take steps to see that advertisers back up to the letter all of their guarantees. The agency issued a guide to alert both consumers and businessmen as to what it con siders false advertising of guarantees on products. 'Mailed Fist' FTC Chairman Earl W. Kinter said the guide was es sentially educational but con tained a "mailed fist." In a speech prepared for delivery to the Better Business Bureau in Los Angeles, he warned that the commission would "bring legal action against an alleged violator" of the rules set forth in the new guide. The guide stipulates that all product guarantees must "clearly and conspicuously" disclose the following infor mation: -What product or part of i product is guaranteed and an exact explanation of what the guarantee involves, in cluding its duration. -The manner in which the guarantee will be backed up -for example, by repair, re placement, or refund. Guaranteeing Parly -Whether the manufacturer or the retailer is the guaran teeing party. KIntner cited many exam ples of phony guarantees which he said make it tough for the honest businessman to compete with "the slick and the greedy."

Film Censure Debate Costs $40 Portland-UP!-Fallure to de lete two scenes from the movie "The Lovers" cost the Guild theater $40 Thursday. Judge J. J. Labadie im posed a $40 fine on Manager Nancy Welch for violating an order by Portland Chief of Police William Hilbruner to take out two scenes from the French-made film. Miss Welch's lawyer. Ber nard Shevach, said the theater plans to "appeal as far as we can go." Argument by the defense of the film was that Bilbruner had not labeled the scenes "obscene" but merely had or dered them deleted. The film ran for 10 days earlier this month at the Guild until two policemen and their wives, assigned as censors, objected to parts of the movie. selling.

See 9th at BARTLETT American Gets Death Sentence In Indonesia Jakarta -(ITO- A three-man court martial sentenced Allen Pope, of Homestead, Fla., to death today for flying a bomber for the Indonesian rebels. No date was set for execu tion. Pope showed no emotion when the sentence was read. "See you later," he said as he left the court. Under Indonesian law, the American flier has seven days to decide whether to appeal to a higher court for a new trial or to ask for a presidential pardon. Consults With Attorneys The 31-year-old American conferred with his attorneys here on the next step in the case. He is expected also to consult lawyers in New York and members of his family in Florida. In Perrine, Fla., Pope's father, Lawrence, said today "I have no comment at all to make" on the sentence. Pope, who was captured when his plane was shot down near Ambon in eastern In donesia on April 18, 1958, was found guilty on all of four counts charged against him. Death Doubted There was considerable doubt, however, that he ac tually would be put to death, A number of death sentences have been imposed by In donesian courts since this country came into existence, but no one has been executed. It appeared probable that he would win a lighter sen- to order for all-weather eomfort.

The two gave talks on the mental and physical health of Americans, and what signif icance our health holds for living in the modern world. Dr. Danielson reviewed the lecture given here last year by Dr. Brock Chisolm on a similar topic. Dr. Chisolm had brought out that "when our technology Is changing so rapidly, our minds must be flexible to cope with the changes. Today's children of ten have healthy imaginations, repressed by parents who fear abnormalities in thinking. Psychologists are now study ing how minds can be made more creative and adaptable to new ideas," he noted. Basic Requirement "One of the basic require ments for an astronaut is that his mind be flexible so he can meet the challenge of strange circumstances," . Dr. Chisolm had noted. Degenerative diseases are America's major health prob lem, Dr. Bebber brought out, "Although we are among the tence, either through appeal to a higher court or through the intervention of President Sukarno, now on a world tour.

Most of the deaths between those years are from degen erative diseases such as can cer. Dr. Bebber noted. Many chronic diseases can be cured or prevented, and good nutri tion and exercise are import ant, even necessary, to avoid these diseases, she added. Dr. Bebber also spoke of health problems in other na tions. She brought out that the United Nations has been a frustrating enterprise as far as politics goes, but it has been successful in the field of world health. Due to UN activities, ma' lana has decreased 50 per cent In the last 10 years, and It may be obliterated in an other 20 years. Hard to Provide As far as the health of the world Is concerned, Dr. Beb ber pointed out that it is hard to provide nutrition for al ready undernourished peoples because of the fact that the birth rate seems to go up as animal protlen consumption goes down. American's degenerative dis eases may also come as a re sult of the chemicals used in treating and preserving food, she said.
