U S Judicial Conference tightens limits on judges
The U S Judicial Conference bans compensation for off bench work by federal judges but allows expense payments and public interest services with panel approval. Chief Justice Warren leads the gathering prompted by Abe Fortas resignation while Justice Brennan resigns a NYU summer seminar post. The group, lacking authority over justices, adopts four resolutions including annual income disclosures and a future standards committee.

House Panel Filters Out Cigarette Deceit Charge
Washington panel considers legislation to grant a six year exemption from government control for cigarette advertising. A heated hearing featured NAB president Vincent Wasilewski and a former employee over whether the industry polices its own cigarette ads and if the NAB misled Congress about self regulation. The committee gave lawmakers discretion to decide if the NAB misrepresented its efforts to curb youth smoking through industry self-policing.
