Broadcasters
Smoking Over
Ad Restrictions
By WILLIAM B. MEAD
WASHINGTON (UPI) —The
broadcasting industry accused
the government today of
making it ‘‘a whipping boy” by
cooperating with the cigarette
industry’s plan to stop advertis
ing on television and radio.
The plan, which would
eliminate cigarette commer
cials by September 1970, was
announced Tuesday. Senate
antismoking leaders called it a
giant contribution to public
health.
But broadcasting sources told
UPI the radio-television indus
try felt it was left out in what
they called a deal between
senators and cigarette makers.
These sources said the industry
would bitterly oppose the plan,
which would cost broadcasters
$240 million a year in cigarette
advertising.
The broadcasters signaled
their intention to fight in a
National Association of Broad
casters (NAB) memo to
members. Industry sources
elaborated in conversations
with UPI but asked not to be
identified.
The broadcasters indicated
they would accept the NAB’s
proposal to phase out cigarette
commercials gradually over the
next four years. The NAB plan,
rejected earlier by cigarette
makers and leaders of the
Senate Commerce Committee,
was designed to cushion broad
casters’ financial losses.
UPI was told by sources in
the tobacco and broadcasting
Farm Controls
In For Changes
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) _ The
Nixon administration will pro
pose new plans to modify—but
not to eliminate—controversial
federal price support and pro
duction control programs for
major farm crops. Agriculture
Secretary Clifford Hardin told
Southen farmers today.
‘ 'Our recommendations prob
ably will include a long-range
resource adjustment program
involving voluntary land retire
ment,” Hardin said in a state
ment prepared for a "listening
conference” with farm ana rur
al leaders from Southern states
and Puerto Rico.
"We believe this (long - term
land retirement) is a less costly
approach than total reliance on
annual programs,” Hardin said.
“We do not, of course, pro
pose that the annual programs
be in any sense weakened.
Quite the contrary —we intend
to propose modifications to
make them more nearly equit
able, more effective and more

industries and on the Senate
Commerce Committee that the
NAB and the Tobacco institute
split during delicate, secret
negotiations on ways to phase
out broadcast cigarette adver

The division became so
intense, sources said, that each
of the two trade associations
purposely announced its respec
tive phaseout plans without
consulting the other.

of these farm stabilization oper

specific proposals will be un

Rain Brings Relief
To South Georgia
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) — Rain
has come finally to South Geor
gia, relieving some of the
drought conditions, but the
northern third of the state now
suffers from lack of rainfall.
During the past week, the
State Crop Reporting Service
said Wednesday, rain in South
Georgia helped crops of cotton,
peanuts, soybeans, late com and
pastures.
But it came too late to help
early corn and truck crops.
Cotton crops seemed to fair
better than most other crops,
the service said.
North of a line from Cedar
town to Augusta, the service
said rainfall was badly needed.
"Much of this northern area
has now become extremely dry
with some observers reporting
less than two inches of rain dur
ing the last eight weeks,” the
report said.
