Tax Cut Faces Senate Backing and Opposition

The industry czar Charles F. Murphy says progress has been made since his five month appointment to clean up comic books. About 30 publishers in the Comics Magazine Association have joined the code, issuing around 345 titles representing 73 percent of comics magazines in circulation. Publishers report cooperation and changes to remove crime glorification and objectionable ads, with surveillance of catalogues and removal of unsuitable items. A separate note: Brig. Materiel Gen. Edgar E. Glenn, 58, U S Air Force chief at Mitchel Field, died Wednesday. Murphy says his office reviews catalogs to remove objectionable material, including whips, from advertisements.
