Invisible billboard sparks debate on urban ads and safety
In This Corner writer Bill Romwall profiles John H. Pring who claims to have created an invisible 40 by 14 foot billboard that carries no words and only an unconscious impact. The piece cites planning officials and quotes from past campaigns on billboard regulation, urging Pring to focus on doughnuts and a four dimensional hamburger rather than subliminal advertising. The column weaves in historic viewpoints on signage, safety, and landscape preservation, warning of potential public impact.

Despite Explorer TE’s setback, he plans Explorer I’s successor with Army Caltech partners cleared to launch the Jupiter-C missile carrying the next satellite.
