Police said the "artist," a man about 25-30 years old, obtained change from a station attendant for some one dollar bills, then a five dollar bill. He then put those bills with others and asked for a $20 bill instead, getting asvay with $10 of the station's money, an office stated.

The man was reported to be driving a late model cream colored car with black vinyl top. An officer said there were reports on June 19 of short change artists at another Freeport station and an ice house, and one was reported operating in Lake Jackson on June 20. newspapers and magazines as well as television and radio commercials to state clearly and prominently: "Cigarette smoking is dangerous to health and may cause death resulting from cancer, coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema and other diseases."

That law, which expires Monday, required the relatively mild warning "Caution: Cigarette Smoking May Be Dangerous to Your Health." The House, with the support of tobacco state congressmen, already has passed a bill that proposes the label, "Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Your Health and May Cause Cancer and Other Diseases." The bill would expire July 1, 197S, and would continue to bar the FTC and other regulatory agencies from taking actions beyond the package warning. But it faces an uncertain fate in the Senate where Chairman Warren Magnuson, has indicated his Senate Commerce Commission will conduct lengthy hearings. H.

Thomas Austern, chairman of the Tobacco Institute, had urged the FTC to delay action on grounds it would be too heavy a burden to prepare testimony for both the FTC and the Senate committee.

children has jumped ISO per cent in the last 10 years, pointing up an urgent need for action by the President and Congress. Michael Gorman, executive director of the National Committee Against Mental Illness, said the nation has at least four million emotionally disturbed children. He told a meeting sponsored by the city Health Department Wednesday at least a fourth of the mentally ailing children need treatment. But, Gorman said, IS states have no facilities, public or private, for treating mentally troubled juveniles and another 24 states have no public institutions to take in children from low and middle-income groups.
