(UPI)-The Federal Trade Commission called today for a total ban on cigarette advertising on television and radio. In a report to Congress, the FTC recommended that strong warnings on the health risks of smoking be required in other types of cigarette advertising. The proposal to forbid broadcast commercials for cigarets put the FTC in tandem with the Federal Communications Commission. The FTC previously had proposed that cigarette ads, including those on radio and television, contain a stiff warning to the effect that a person might contract a fatal disease from smoking.

In addition to the ban on commercials, the FTC called for mandatory broadcast time for warnings against the hazards of smoking. A law prohibiting federal agencies from promulgating any regulation pertaining to cigarette advertising expired June 30 and the FCC has held hearings on proposals to ban commercials. But the agency has said it will not try to put any new regulations into effect until Congress expressed its will on any further ban. The FTC recommended greater appropriations for public education on smoking hazards and for development of a "safe" cigarette. The FTC report said more than $300 million was spent on cigarette advertising in 1968.

"Its failures stem from its content and from the fact that" it has been confined to a label during a period when better than $1 billion worth of advertising have negated and nullified whatever latent potential it possessed." In addition to banning cigarette ads on radio and television, the commission recommended a requirement that broadcasters, "as part of their public service responsibilities, devote a significant amojnt of broadcast time for programs and announcements on health hazards and cigarette smoking." The FTC made clear it feels the FCC has the authority to demand that stations devote some public service broadcast time to such warnings. "In general, current cigarette advertising leaves the impression that cigarette smoking is a healthy activity and one whose risk, to the extent that it exists, can be reduced through the presence of a filter," the commission said. As it had previously, the commission recommended that the present health warning on cigarette packs Cigarette smoking may be hazardous to your be changed to say: "Cigarette smoking is dangerous to health and may cause death from cancer, coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema and other diseases."

The decision said Spock and BOSTON MV-A federal appeals court today reversed the antidraft conspiracy convictions of famed baby Dr. Benjamin Spock and three others, saying they had the right to criticize the Vietnam war and the draft "even though its effect is to interfere with the war effort."

Dist. Atty. Herbert F. Travers was not available for comment on what steps the government would take in the case. "The court agrees with the defendants that vigorous criticism of the draft and of the Vietnam war is free speech protected by the First Amend- ment, even though its effect is to interfere with the war effort," the decision said.

"It (the court) holds that the defendants were equally free to express commendation and moral support for those whose conscience compelled them to disobey the law, but it drew a distinction between such expressions and affirmative counseling, aiding and abetting violations of the statute," it added.

"We shall continue," Rogers 1 said, "to examine other as- pects of the speech to see, in consultation with our allies, whether any of them may offer themselves as vehicles for early resolution of outstani ing problems between us."
