Warned Against
Abuses in Ads
Washington -fflPD- The gov
ernment warned businessmen
today against abusing such ad
vertising promises as "lowest
price in town," "lifetime guar
antee," and "satisfaction or
your money back."
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."
He said many advertisers
have found the slogan "guar
anteed for life" valuable in

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

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.

Mental, Physical
Health of People
Reviewed at Event
Dr. Harry Danietsun, local
psychiatrist, and Dr. Ruth
Bebber were the guest speak
ers last night at a meeting of
the Oregon United Nations
association, Medford Chapter.
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

"Although we are among the

to a higher court or through

40 and 65 are higher than

English - speaking peoples,"
she said.
Most of the deaths between
those years are from degen
erative diseases such as can

chronic diseases can be cured
or prevented, and good nutri

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'

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
