Wynder of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute told the committee, a filter that stops 40% or more of tar from a regular cigarette made of good tobacco "will be a partial answer." But during the five-year boom in filters, no such tip has been marketed. Testified Dr. Wynder: "Some companies have taken advantage of the public's desire for filtered cigarettes and its equal wish for good tobacco flavor by marketing increasingly ineffective filters...
Added-"Easy Draw." Wynder's and other laboratory studies have shown that most filter-tip brands are as bad as. in many cases actually worse than, old-fashioned untipped cigarettes of regular length, because 1) the filters catch only a minimum of tar. and 2) to get the flavor through the filter, the manufacturers have taken to using stronger tobacco, which produces more...
...first of two articles on filter-tip cigarettes, Reader's Digest reported this month that American Tobacco Co.'s king-size filter brand, Hit Parade, actually contains 15% more tar and 33% more nicotine than the same company's unfiltered, regular-size Lucky Strike, which sells for 2? less a pack.

...stocks gushing up as much as 70% in recent months, is a geological thriller to rival any detective story. Back in 1921 Imperial Oil Ltd., Jersey Standard's Canadian subsidiary, tried to tap Great Slave's potential with a test well at Windy Point on the western tip of the huge lake far up in Canada's frozen Northwest Territories. The area was littered with natural oil seeps oozing from a rock strata identified as Devonian limestone. But as so often happens when oil-bearing strata touch the surface, the well proved a dud.
