Whether a firm, manufacturer or individual advertises in the Deseret News has no bearing on Do-I- t Mans policy of using or withholding identity of firms or products about which he receives complaints. A single complaint does not sene to prove a case of regula malpractice. However, if there is reasonable evidence that somone has been exploited in the purchase of a product or service and cannot obtain satisfaction, we will have no hesti'ancy in identifying those responsible. We believe if we neglect to nam unsafe products, and those who give out misleading information and regularly pursue deceitful practices, we are tarring the Innocent with the guilty brush. Do-I- t Man believes that no legitimate business firm or responsible individual will object to or resent being identified if they are acting honestly and fairly. Theyhould be quick to correct whatever errors, usually inadvertant, they may have committed. Jn most instances Do-- Man will find it advisable to confine his actions merely to facilitate communication by which all parties may arrive at a mutually satisfactory settlement of differences. But where justified. Do-I- t Man will try to protect the consumer against any practice which undermines confidence in the vast majority of diligent and reputable firms by identifying the guilty ones for all to read. x Lt.

Dr. Michael McClintock warned the Denver City Council Monday that the storage of the deadly gas posed a problem since it was so near to the city's airport. A drop of the gas can kill in seconds, he said. Planes using the north-soutrunway at Stapleton International Airport fly directly over the sloingi n i ca , cylpresenting the danger of crashing into the inders which are stored above ground, he said. Some of the gas at the arsenal now is being moved to remote areas. The Army has run into opposition to its plans to remove the rest of the gas, ship it by rail to the East Coast and then dump it deep into the Atlantic Ocean. McClintock has been among a number of scientists urging that the gas be detoxified before it is shipped out of the Denver area. if, gas-fille- than it needs.
