Cigarette makers last year spent $217.2 million. 70 per cent of their total advertising outlays, on television and another $21.3 million on radio commercials. A Federal Trade Commission survey concluded that the ar average American saw 59 cigarette commercials on television in one month. Children 12 to 17 years old saw 54 cigarette commercials, the study said, and children 2 to 11 saw 43. A Michigan survey cited by the FTC concluded that the age range most crucial for starting to smoke is between 9 and 12 years. Joseph F. Cullman IH, chairman of both Philip Morris InC. and the Tobacco Institute, told Moss Senate consumer subcommittee Tuesday the cigarette industry would stop all television and radio advertising by September 1970 sooner if broadcasters permit cancellation of contracts. FTC Chairman Paul Rand Dixon offered in exchange to hold off the FTCs proposed rule under which all cigarette advertisements would have to carry a stern health warning. But Dixon warned that the FTC would review effectiveness of the voluntary action in July, 1971. He said the agency would crack down if the cigarette industry "shifts its enormous expenditures on television and radio to other media. The industry should not take back what it said it is willing to give, Dixon said.

The Tuesday statement was the first time the government gas placing acknowledged weapons outside the United States. And the announcement came only after news disclosures that 23 U.S. soldiers and a civialian worker had been infected when a gas container sprang a leak July 8 at a U.S. base on Okinawa. Pentagon, in making predictions about the review, avoided giving any indication whether the removal of some nerve gases and other chemical weapons from Okinawa will result in pullbacks of such materials from other overseas bases. The July 8 incident has sparked a speedup of the overall chemical warfare review ordered previously by President Nixon. One of the reasons Secre- -' tary of Defense Melvin R. Laird recommended such a review, it was understood, was his discovery upon taking office six months ago that supervision over the chemical biological - radiological warfare program was relatively loose, The f-- i V Laird made a definite point Tuesday that no war gases had been sent overseas since he became defense secretary and that the chemical munitions on Okinawa reached there during the Kennedy Administration under decisions made in 1961 and 1963. Pentagon authorities, still refusing to discuss overseas deployment other than Okinawa, avoided any indication as to whether the policy of maintaining such munitions in forward positions would be changed. The closest thing to an official hint about overseas deployments of gas came in a statement by Dr. John S. Foster, Pentagon research and development chief, in response to questions raised by Rep.
