Cigarette Firms To Curb Minors
NEW YORK — (UPI)— The nation's leading cigarette manufacturers have joined hands in a move to discourage youngsters from smoking.
The Tobacco Institute, which represents the manufacturers, announced yesterday a new code designed to curb advertising stressing athletic prowess, social distinction and sex appeal.
The tobacco industry has been under fire since a report by U.S. Surgeon General Luther L. Terry more than four months ago linking smoking to cancer and other diseases.
However, attorneys for the institute told a public hearing of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last March 16 that such a code had been in the works for some time.
The code, still subject to clearance by the Department of Justice under anti-trust laws, affects advertising on radio and television and in newspapers and magazines.
Under the code, all cigarette advertising first would have to be approved by an independent administrator, who would enforce the code and fine violators up to $100,000 for infractions. The administrator has not yet been named.
The code bans advertising in the form of testimonials by well-known athletes or former athletes and forbids advertising in college newspapers and magazines or in comic books or comic supplements to newspapers.
The code also prohibits the distribution of cigarette samples to persons under the age of 21 and bans "promotional efforts" on school or college campuses or in fraternity or sorority houses.
Cigarette advertising under the code is prohibited on programs or in publications aimed at youths, and persons depicted in advertising as smokers must be at least 25 years old and must appear to be that old.
The announcement was made in behalf of the American Tobacco Co., Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., Larus & Brother Co. Inc., Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., P. Lorillard Co., Philip Morris Inc., R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Stephano Brothers Inc., and the United States Tobacco Co.
Despite the institute's action, however, FTC chairman Paul Rand Dixon said in Washington that the code would not change government plans for federal regulations on cigarette advertising.
The agency has proposed attaching health hazard warnings to every cigarette package, and it has suggested that similar warnings accompany radio and television advertisements.
"I doubt if (the code) would affect our deliberations," Dixon said.
A product (the code) would affect our developments, Dickson said. Sen. Maurine Neuberger, D-Ore., an outspoken opponent of cigarette smoking, indicated she felt the code did not go far enough because it "fails to require adequate effective warning in cigarette advertising and labeling."
However, she said the code should eliminate "those most offensive appeals to adolescence and immaturity which have too long scarred the face of advertising media."
Democratic Hopefuls For Governor Here

THE ISRAEL resolution, submitted by Jordan, calls for the restoration of Palestine to its pre-1947 occupants. The proposal asks that "the legal possession of land in Palestine be restored to the occupants in residence before the armed conflict of 1947," and that "all immigrants arriving in Palestine since 1947 . . . be returned to their native countries or resettled in any other nation that will allow their residence."

Battle is Vocation For Vietnamese
Editor's note: This is the second in a three part series in which United Press International's Saigon management returned to South Viet Nam after two years. South Viet Nam, describes the war which is going on in the rice paddies and rain forests of that country.
ed subjects. This year resolutions were accepted on any subject of which eight were placed on the agenda by the steering committee.
By Neil Sheehan United Press International
The hardy peasants who followed the 13th-century Vietnamese hero Marshal Tran Hung Dao into battle and broke the charge of the fierce Mongol horsemen are still fighting in the rice paddies of Viet Nam.
The uniforms, tactics and weapons have changed, but the men are the same even though they are divided into two armies locked in civil war; the U.S. supported government troops and the communist guerrillas.
Like his communist guerrilla enemy, the modern Vietnamese soldier is probably the son of a peasant family. He is at best only slightly educated. He took up a soldier's profession because he was conscripted or because, in a land where war has for centuries been a way of life, he looks on arms as an honorable way to earn a living for himself and his family.
He didn't have much choice in any case. There are few alternative opportunities in this country for a peasant boy other than staying on his father's ricefields or drifting to the towns and cities to work as a coolie laborer. But with both sides in this war pressing hungriily for recruits he would prabably have ended up fighting for either the government or the communists. He may even have a brother in the ranks of the communist Viet Cong.
THE VIETNAMESE SOLDIER is short and slight, averaging about five feet four inches tall. But his baggy American-style fatigues, festooned with grenades and ammunition belts, hide a wiry and muscular body.
He is also, along with his Viet Cong enemy, probably the toughest and bravest soldier in Southeast
His over-sized U.S. Army helmet and hefty M-1 rifle give him a slightly comical appearance to the foreign eye. As a private he earns the equivalent of $14 a month. He is easy-going, cheerful and stoically resigned to the risks of his profession.
Asia, for courage is an old Vietnamese virtue.
The average Vietnamese private is in his late teens or early twenties. The non-commissioned officers are an older breed in their late twenties or early thirties and in most cases fought under the French in the first Indochina war. Both privates and non-coms are generally married and have children.
"WE MAY NOT get to all eight." Tom Moore, executive secretary of the KU-Y said, but he pointed out that in most years the Model UN deals with more than eight resolutions.
In the field the Vietnamese soldier is capable of great endurance. To the amazement of Americans he will cheerfully and uncomplainingly slog through the oozing mud of the rice paddies for hours under a broiling sun with a heavy load of ammunition or a 35-pound radic strapped to his 110 pound body.
Seasoned American advisers find little fault with the individual Vietnamese soldier. They consider him a good warrior and when he does not fight well they blame his failure on the lack of competent leadership at the company and battalion level.
In battle the Vietnamese soldier is calm and quiet. If well-led, he is capable of feats of great bravery under fire, but will not expose himself or push ahead undress the officers and non-coms show the way.
WHEN WOUNDED he rarely screams or cries, for this is considered unmanly. To Americans it is always an amazing sight to watch a Vietnamese soldier.

Weather
In the past there have been key- note speakers, but the Model UN has not found a speaker for this year, Richard Epps, Topeka senior and chairman of the Model UN steering committee, said.
Skies were beginning to clear in Western Kansas today after a night that brought more showers to eastern and central areas.
The clearing was expected to progress slowly eastward today with Kansas skies becoming mostly fair tonight and tomorrow.
Brisk winds continued to blow today but not nearly as strong as yesterday's which gusted as high as 70 m.p.h. and produced heavy blowing dust in the southwest.
Yesterday afternoon blowing dust had cut visibility at Liberal to one-eighth of a mile.
This year, for the first time, the delegations had to submit papers about the international policies and problems of the country they are representing, Epps said. He said he was certain each delegation had done at least minor research.
Highs today were expected to range near 60 in most areas, with overnight lows from 30's Northwest to 40's Southeast.
MODEL UN DELEGATES are often thought to be ill-informed, because they are Americans, Epps said. This year, however, foreign students are working with about 60 delegations and will be able to debate and vote on resolutions, he continued.
"Model United Nations offers an experience in international politics through which students can learn the structure and problems of diplomatic relations." Epps said.
In addition to his Model UN activities, Adamson will speak about the Voice of America and its career opportunities at 4:30 p.m., tomorrow in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Adamson, a native Kansan, has been a public affairs officer in Cairo, Egypt and was transferred to the U.S. Information Agency, of which the Voice of America is a branch, in 1953.
The All Student Council will again consider three planks of the University Party election platform at its meeting tonight.
Adamson will speak at Ottawa and Baker Universities on Thursday.
UP Platform Rises Again
The three bills were defeated by slim margins at the last ASC meeting by a Vox-controlled council, but were introduced a second time by UP members, who were anticipating a UP majority on the council after new council members were sworn in.
With 39 council seats presently occupied on the ASC, Walter Bgoya, Tanganyika junior, who is unaffiliated with either party, has the deciding vote if the council votes along party lines.
THE UP COUNCIL had had a majority at the last ASC meeting until a Vox candidate successfully contested her spring election defeat. This tied campus political parties with 19 Vox seats and 19 UP seats on the council.
The three bills, if passed, would establish ASC committees on student employment, the procurement, preparation and distribution of food within KU living groups, and a student-teacher evaluation program
IN OTHER BUSINESS this evening, the ASC will elect new officers. Nominations were submitted last week.
Nominees for chairman are Mike Miner, Lawrence junior, and Hugh Taylor, Stoke-on-Trent, England, graduate student; for vice-chairman, Gary Walker, Wichita sophomore, and Tom Shumaker, Russell junior; for secretary, Liane Lebebure, Prairie Village junior, and Sandee Garvey, St Louis, Mo., senior; and for treasurer, Leo Schrey Jr., Leavenworth sophomore, and Ray Myers, Dodge City senior.
