The Canterbur
National Association of Broad-
casters, tobacco-state congress-
men and the one dissenting
commissioner, James J. Wads-
worth, criticized the action. The
broadcast networks declined im-
mediate comment.
In New York, the cancer so-
ciety - a long-time crusader
against cigarette smoking -is-
sued a statement welcoming the
proposal and expressing hope
broadcasters would accept the
recommendation.
The Tobacco Institute called
the announcement "an obvious
threat to usurp the congression-
al function," and said a ban
would be arbitrary and extreme.
Hyde told a news conference
there would be only two things
that might cause him to recon-
sider a complete ban: The
broadcasters could omit the ad-
vertisments voluntarily, or the
FCC might approve advertising
of low-tar-low-nicotine cigaret-
tes.
He made clear, howev'er, the
commission prefers a complete
ban.
The commission can take no
final action until after June 30,
when the law which requires
health warnings on individual
cigarette packages-while at the
same time banning any other
regulations-expires.
