Bert Gordon ribbed Larry Daniels about Benny Fields and Blossom Seeley last Sunday and then let him in on the gag. A week later a columnist carried the "rib" as fact! # « # A Federal jury in Austin called up Terrell Sledge, new a.m. newscaster for WOAI, San Antonio, saying that he had been placed on the jury ... .Terrell had other commitments and knew that he couldn't possibly carry out this duty. He therefore called the judge but got as far as the district clerk who informed the announcer that no one could get off and that a writ had been issued for failing to appear ... .After several hours of worrying. Sledge got the judge on long-distance and, after speaking with the jurist for several minutes, the black-robe wearer said: "Are you the new morning Newscaster over WOAI?" ... .Like all actors. Sledge said yes.... "I thought so and I've already quashed the writ You're doing fine, m'boy, keep up the good work." .... Any way , this is the story from Texas and we won't dispute the actions of judges down yonder. But we'll be glad to tell you about the jurist here, who, on learning our identity, doubled the fine! Two companies have entered into stipulations with the Federal Trade Commission to discontinue certain misleading advertising practices. Chas. H. Phillips Chemical Co., New York, agrees to stop advertising that Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Texture Cream helps to correct certain ugly skin blemishes and that this preparation and Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Cleansing Cream help to neutralize the fatty acid accumulations on the skin, unless, in this latter representation, the language is qualified to mean excess fatty acid accumulations. The respondent company stipulates that it will not advertise Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Tooth Paste as providing the best way yet discovered or as science's latest discovery for cleaning teeth. The respondent company will also cease asserting that its tooth paste contains more milk • of magnesia than any other tooth paste, unless such representation is true at the time it is made. The respondent company admits in its stipulation that there is no evidence that its dentifrice contains more milk of magnesia than any other tooth paste. Bristol-Myers Co., New York, in the sale of Ipana tooth paste, will cease advertising that this preparation and massaging will correct any unhealthy gum condition; that Ipana and the use of a tootn brush will restore to the gums the stimulation they need to remain firm and healthy; that modern dental science or the country's dentists urge or approve the use of Ipana and massaging in the care of teeth and gums, and that Ipana and massaging will prevent one from becoming a "dental cripple".
