In an outspoken charge that
“false and misleading” advertising
is;being used to promote the, sale
of both “Resistab” and “Anahist,”
FTC alleged:
“The products are neither cures,
preventstives nor adequate or
competent treatments for the com
mon cold or its manifestations.”
IThe Trade Commission complaint
whs directed at Bristol-Myers Co.
arid the Anahist Co. Inc., both of
Nejv York. Under federal law, FTC
has power to force the companies
tq halt or revise advertising claims
if (he gbyernment can prove the
“false .and misleading” complaint.
I'Yhe Bristol-Myers product is
‘Resistab.” The Anahist Cbm 1 *

Senior King Dance favora

Hobby Byington, class president,
said this morning. Orders placed
after that date cannot 'be filled
in time for the dance.
The .favors are pins which
duplicate the crest of the Sen
ior Ring without the etaaa nu
meral. A»y student who wishes
to order a guard and chain may
do so, Byington said. The guard
pin is in the form of the ciaas
numeral.
Favors without the chain and
guard pin coat $2.50 and favors'
with the chain and guard pin
are $3.75.
This design has been used for
Senior Ring Dance favors for
nine years, Byington said, and
is now standard for every class.

timated.
A bi-partisan group of econo
mizers led by Rep. Taber (R-
NY) is talking of trying to! cut at
least another billion dollars from
the big measure. Republicans on
the committee voted unanimbusly
against sending the bill to the
floor because it was “too big..”
More than half of the $29,000,-
000,000 total is attributable; to war
and national defense.
It includes $13,911,127,300 for
the defense establishment, $5,801,-
782,795 for the Veterans Adminis
tration and $947,970,000 for the
Atomic Energy Commission. The
bulk of the veterans’ fund is for
benefit payments.
No Sharp Military Cuts
None of !the big 1 military!and de
fense items were cut. sharply.
The average reduction was about
5 per cent below. Mr. Truman's
budget requests.
In actual cash, the bill appro
priates $£7,266,403,664* or $1,-
835,377,604 less than the presi
dent asked and $832,014,180 less
than the same agencies received
this fiscal year. Future appropria
tions may be necessary to finance
an additional $1,778,626,500 in con
tract authority, which is $182,523,-
000 less than was requested.
Largest single appropriation in.
the bill is for the defense depart
ment. Its cut of $203,332,700 in
caph was all the committee claimed
it could jsafely make.
“Undoubtedly we are taking
certain very grave risks ih not be
ing better prepared,” the commit
tee said,' cautioning against fur
ther cuts; that might “cripple the
national defense effort.”
For the present year,; the de
fense department was given $13,-
055,562 in kcash and $2,636,301,000
in contract authority.
The committee said th«j new de

The committee made no major
changes in the military research:

anti-aircraft gun that tan shoot'
72,000 feet into the air.
The defense funds were allowed!
this way:
Army: $3,910,882,300 cash, a
cut of $107,601,700.
Navy: $3,972,685,000 leash and
