U. S. Airlines Adopt
New Advertising Code
WASHINGTON UPI — The U. S.
scheduled airlines have adopted a
new advertising code of ethics,
Effective shortly after the first
of the year, the word “Jet,” for
example, may be applied only to
pure jet aircraft such as 'the Boe
ing 707. Douglas DC8 and Con
vair 880.
Turbine powered airplanes that
use nropellers—such as the Fair- i
child F27 and Vickers Viscount— I
must be referred to in advertise |
ments as jetprop, turboprop or j
propjet.
Ads showing a projet or piston |
engine propeller aircraft in flight
must have propeller traces—cir
cular designs indicating that the
plane uses propellers.
Some airlines have complained
that advertisements of their com
petitors leave out the propeller
traces, giving readers the impres
sion that the plane shown is a
pure jet plane.
A Smell By Any Other Name
PARIS (i¥) — Despite massive
doses of perfume, most Paris sub
way stations still smell like a
football team’s locker room at
halftime.
City officials, fearing shoppers
were using other transportation
because of the odor, tried wafting
perfume through miles of under
ground tubes.
That didn’t help, so this week
four subway lines are spraying
the odor of violets aong the tracks
while another is trying to make
passengers believe they are sniff
ing the refreshing odor of a pine
forest.

U. S. io Permit
Publication of
A Bomb Photos
WASHINGTON W — The U. S.
government has finally permitted
publication of pictures of the
types of primitive atomic bombs
dropped on Hiroshima and Naga
saki—the “Fat Man” and “Little
Boy” bombs.
For several years no actual
military secrecy has been in
volved. The bombs of a decade
and a half ago are utterly unlike
the weapons used today.
However, during the past 15
years the executive branch of
government, including the State
and Defense Departments and the
Atomic Energy Commission, have
held that use of the photographs
might have an adverse effect on
international relations, especially
in Japan where the bombs were
used.
This fall, when the matter came
up for periodic review, it was
agreed by the three departments
that use of the pictures no longer
would have inmical effect, gov
ernment spokesmen said today.
“Little Boy” was the first weap
on used, at Hiroshima Aug. 6,
1945. “Fat Man” fell on Nagasaki
three days later.
The AEC records list 70,000 per
sons as killed or missing in the
Hiroshima bombing and 36,000
dead or missing after the Naga
saki bomb fell.
A major factor in the difference
in casualties and other effects
produced by the two bombs was
the different terrain of the two
cities. Hiroshima is built on com
parative level area; Nagasaki is
in an area of hills and hollows.
Student Pictures Now Available
Pictures taken of the school
children by the Arctic Studio of
Anchorage are now available at
the school and should be picked
up as soon as possible. It is not
necessary, stated Mr. Potter, to
take the whole kit, which is $4.00.
Any part of the kit may be pur
chased and parents are not obli
gated to take any if they do not
desire to do so.
