FTC Opposes Cigarette "Puffing" Another powerful voice in American life has joined the chorus of objection to cigarette advertising. The Federal Trade Commis sion, whose members are Pres idential appointees charged with protecting business and the 1 consumer from undesirable trade practices, included this forthright sentence in its mid year report to Congress: "Cig arette advertising on television | and radio should be banned." As an alternative proposal. | the commission suggested that | broadcast advertising of ciga- : rettes "should be limited as to the hours at which it may ap pear: the extent to which it may. anpear; and the types of programs on which it may ap- j pear." The intention of course is to protect juvenile and adolescent i minds from the subtle and not- i so-s"bt1e appeals sometimes directed at them by the ciga rette advertisers. Nowadays many young smokers start In their early teens or even before, whereas a generation ago the common startine aee of regular smoking was sixteen or well over. This change underlines the efff?<*Hvenes? with which cigarette merchants hammer away at their message that smoking is the manly, or the success-related, or the sexy, or the "in" thing to do. The abolition or curtailment of radio-TV advertising is only one of several suggestions j made by the FTC for dealing with the cigarette hazard. Such miracles of reform seldom sweep through Coongress with out widespread public clamor for their passage. Here is a cause that might appeal to all parents, friends and well-wish ers of teenage people. HARLEM PREP GRANT? Edward F. Carpenter, head master of Harlem Preparatory Schools, accepts a $75,000 grant from Milo M.

It was founded in 1967 to start more ghetto youths on the road to higher education. Also attending was Mother Ruth Dowd, vice principal.
