Ads fail to discourage cigarette sales
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Two tobacco
industry campaigns to discourage
cigarette sales to children are
ineffective and one actually
encourages youngsters to smoke,
a researcher said Monday.
The tobacco industry devised
the campaigns to try to head off
tougher police enforcement of
laws banning cigarette sales to
children, which does curb teen
smoking, said Dr, Joseph R.
DiFranza, a chief author of two
new studies on the subject.
In one study, DiFranza
reported that a Tobacco Institute
campaign aimed at retail stores
and called "It's the Law" did
almost nothing to discourage
stores from selling cigarettes to
children. In a second study,
DiFranza concluded that an
industry campaign portraying
smoking as an adult activity
actually encourages children to
smoke by making smoking
appear to be a desirable
"forbidden fruit."
The studies are the latest in a
series by DiFranza on the
promotion of cigarettes to
children. He is a member of the
Department of Family and
Community Medicine at the
University of Massachusetts
Medical School in Worcester.
The director of the federal
government's Office on Smoking
and Health said DiFranza's
studies were solid and "hit at the
heart" of the industry's youth
campaigns.
"The tobacco industry has a
vendetta against him because of
the power of what he's
publishing," said Michael Eriksen,
the director.
The "It's the Law" campaign
involves the distribution of
Ju
literature and signs observingtiji Vol. 92
sales of tobacco to children at
illegal, DiFranza said.
He found that 86 percent
stores participating in
program sold cigarettes ille
to children, compared with!
percent of the non-participatii
stores. The study appears in
September issue of the America
Journal of Public Health.
, to be published Tuesday,
The Tobacco Institute sai
DiFranza has distorted ti
industry's intent because he's
on putting the tobacco industi
out of business.

Economic recovery still not up to par
NEW YORK — The domestic hiring outlook for the fourth quarter
suggests the economic recovery is shaky at best, Manpower Inc. said
in a survey to be released Monday.
The temporary employment firm said its quarterly survey of
companies found 21 percent plan to increase their workforce in the
October-December period, while 11 percent plan staff reductions.
The figures reflect caution among ousinesses due to the
sluggishness of the economy, and a concern over the outcome of the
presidential election. Manpower said.
Manpower conducts its survey four times a year through
telephone interviews with more than 15,000 public and private
employers in 474 U.S. cities.
It said fourth-quarter hiring plans are similar to those for the same
period last year, when 21 percent of companies surveyed
contemplated increasing their workforce and 12 percent planned
reductions.
In the third quarter this year, 25 percent intended to hire and 8
percent expected staff reductions.

HOUSTON - Some black
believe they cannot get loan
because of racial discriminatioii
but bankers say their lendinj
efforts are complicated by so®
and economic problems.
According to 1990 dati
collected under the federal Ho®
Mortgage Disclosure Act,
and Hispanic applicants in thi
Houston area were nearly thref
times as likely to be turned dotf?
for a mortgage as whites.
Applicants from minorit!
neighborhoods were twiceai
likely to be rejected, regardless u
their income. The Houston
reported Sunday.
The data was the most recent
available. Ken Burrell, whos*
K&C Car Care Clinic is located if'
the poor Fifth Ward, was o®
minority business owner
had trouble getting a loan.
He was turned down for loa®
for his garage by several
institutions before gettingo ne
from Channelview Bank.
His six-employee garage si^
on a street of Jensen Drive t”’
once was a thriving part
Houston's African-American
business community. Now, ntfS
of the surrounding buildings ar (
empty.
"First of all, a lot of business^
in this area are black-owned
Burrell said when asked
lending bias has contributed^
the area's decline.
"And because they're black
owned, the banks aren't going tc
lend money, because they thifi' 1
it's going to be a waste. The]J
think they're not going to
their money back."
But bankers say they are trying
to lend in such areas a the " ‘
Ward.
"I'm not going to sit here and
tell you that racism and bias have
never been factor in Texas
banking," said James Feild
community investment manage*
for NationsBank Texas. "But the
biggest barriers today are some of
the socioeconomic factors the
minority community as a whole
is dealing with."
