The regulations would be effective after July 1 if Congress allows a five-year ban on FCC regulation of cigaret advertising to expire on that date.

Moss said the commission adopted the proposed regulation so that Congress would know in advance, while it is considering the matter, what controls might be imposed.

Nathan Richardson, county coroner, said the plane was believed to have been carrying eight passengers in addition to the two pilots, but the bodies were so badly charred an exact count was difficult. Efforts were being made to determine the exact number aboard through duplicates of tickets sold by the Angeles Flying Service, owner of the Beechcraft. Richardson said the victims were trapped in the flaming wreckage and had no chance to escape.

The youngster was accompanied to the White House by his parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Keith Greenwood of Velma, his brother, Jamie, 7, House Democratic Leader Carl Albert of Oklahoma and Sen. Henry Bellmon, The visit was an effort to dramatize the work of the March of Dimes in helping to combat children's diseases and birth defects like the one Tracy suffers from.

"The international language-dogs," the President commented.

He made sure Tracy got photographed. "We want everybody to see how great he is," the President said of the little boy, who was born with an open spine and water on the brain and was given slim chance to survival when doctors took over his case at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center. Nixon also signed Tracy's autograph book, making a point of giving equal treatment to his older brother, Jamie, and saying he knew how it was with brothers, having grown up with five of them. 1 'Pigeons' Drop $4,650 Into Con Gang's Hands Police reported today that three Coral Gables residents have been bilked out of in the past week by a confidence gang working the old "Pigeon Drop" game.
