Hearings Reopened On Cigarette Ads
Washington UPI reports the House Commerce Committee reopened hearings on cigarette advertising legislation to address charges of misleading testimony by the broadcasting industry. NAB president Wasilewski and ex-NAB Code Authority head Braren testified as the committee revisited the bill. Braren revealed the Code Authority stopped reviewing cigarette ads in April 1968 and a 1966 NAB study found ads had substantial youth appeal. Braren resigned May 1 amid disillusionment over self policing. Code Authority official Helffrich confirmed the report’s authenticity and said the Authority no longer reviews cigarette commercials, transferring the task to individual broadcasters.
