Tobacco ads order rapped in Wilson NC
Tobacco industry spokesmen opposed a FCC plan to require free air time for antismoking programs on radio and TV. John D. Palmer called the order a violation while noting sponsor options and the lack of proven smoking-caused deaths. He argued the government and industry spend more on research than on illness. A separate report states a farm worker shot his wife accidentally in Cobden. Dorothy Davis was treated for a leg wound. Shady Davis Jr. was cleaning the rifle.
