But he added 400 to 500 would be as signed to other Lockheed programs "within a few days" and that the company was hopeful of finding other assignments for the remaining 200 to 300. The other 1,800 workers already have been reassigned with no interruption in their work, he said. During his hearing last Thursday before the Senate Banking Committee, McCullough was questioned as to his lack of ex perience in the field of interna tional finance. He told the senators he did lack such background but said he was sure he could make a contribution to the Export-Im port bank in giving wider publicity to overseas trade opportu nities. This might enable small businessmen and others to take ad vantage of these opportunities, he said.

Strom Thurmond, said Tuesday tne 1965 voting Kignts Act-should not be extended five; more vears unless amended trt cover all 50 states, not merely" a few in the south. Thurmond issued' this' statement: "Certain Drovisions of th Voting Rights Act of 1965 will expire automatically on August 6, 1970. The Senate Judiciary committee win soon be considering DrODOSals to extend these provisions for five more years. "This act was tailored to ap-' Dlv almost exclusively to tW southern states which voted for. Barry Goldwater 1964.

Its passage was a nunitiv and discriminatory act of political revenge, for example, under this act, New York can, and does, have a literacy re quirement for voting, but South Carolina cannot. "I believe any qualified in- dividual should have the right to vote, and should have recourse under the law if this right is denied him. However; an entire state should not be punished to achieve this and the law should apply equally to all states. "In spite of propaganda to the contrary, the state of South Carolina has nn vnUr discrimination. South Carolina and all other states should be allowed to enact reasonable literacy requirements for voting.

The present provisions of the law, which are unfair and designed to punish the' South, should not be extended for five more years." SHORTHAND COURSE BREVARD. N. C.

Nmeteen members of the Cigarette Warning Advocated WASHINGTON (AP) The Federal Trade Commission proposed Tuesday to require that all cigarette advertising state that smoking cigarettes is dangerous to health and may cause death. It would reauire that all ad vertisements disclose clearly and prominently tnat "cigarette smoking is dangerous to health and may cause death from cancer, enronarv heart disease. chronic bronchitis, pulmonary empnysema ana otner dis eases." The FTC said it is formally promulgating a rule to take effect sometime after June 30 when the moratorium set by Congress on regulation of cigarette advertising expires. Congress is now considering legislation which would extend the moratorium. The FTC action would be voided if the ex tension is voted.

The FTC. in announcing the proposed rule, scheduled a pub lic hearing July 1 at which time industry spokesmen and otner interested persons can present views. The proposed warning con trasts sharply with that enacted bv Congress in the 1965 federal cigarette labeling and adverts ing act. That statute required packages to state: "Caution: Cigarette smoking may be haz ardous to your health." The same act contained a clause that barred the FTC from requiring any health warn ing in cigarette advertising until June 30. That provision forced the commission to drop a proposed rule issued 1964 to require all cigarette packages, containers and advertisements to display a warning that smoking is dangerous to health and may cause death from cancer and other diseases.
