Agency Raps Illegal Sales SUPER SECURITY RAMBOUILLET.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) today opened an unusual confer ence to tell the buying public how to guard against "trickery in the market place" and phony adver tising. FTC Chairman Earl W. Kintner said the purpose of the two-day "conference on public deception" was to educate consumers on how lo detect and avoid "being vic timized by illegal selling methods, particularly false or misleading advertising. Kintner said in a prepared statement that the conference could prove a boon to the reput able businessman. "They will wel come the sharper-eyed buyer," he explained, "who no longer stum bles into the illegal traps set by the larcenous few." Representatives of 47 major ci vic, professional and welfare or ganizations were invited to attend the school to alert buyers the first to be conducted by the Com mission. Kintner called it an experiment. If it succeeds in developing use ful teamwork in fighting tricky selling devices, he said, a series of additional sessions will be held. The conference stems from a recommendation of a study group sponsored by President Eisenhow er's Council of Economic Advisers. It urged all government agencies charged with consumer protection to take steps to bone up the pub lic on their work. An FTC spokesman said the meeting would provide a graphic 'tip-off to suckers on how the selling rackets work. Kintner told the conference it could perform a tremendous serv ice if it could take the "blissful blindfold of ignorance from the eyes of the bargain hunter." He noted that the bargain hun ter is most often the person who can least afford to be swindled. "And the reputable seller," he add ed, "who tries to stay honest un der the lash of illegal competition may find that his books show a profit only in heaven."
