The new NCEN chairman, an executive of the Pennfield Corporation, issued the statement in response to what he termed erroneous reports on industry and NCEN strategies in the face of complaints to the FTC about NCEN advertising. "Having heard and read some of these unfortunate rumors, I think it’s necessary for me to set the record straight,” Wentink stated. “I hope the industry will understand from the very beginning of my chair manship that, in my opinion, NCEN is not indulging in idle polemics: we are engaged in a program to be informative to the American people on what we consider to be a topic of vital importance. We are not doing this for profit and we are using our fun damental rights of free speech to make known our point of view. “But it is our point of view -and only we may express it, I have heard and read half truths and out-and-out errors about NCEN’s position, plans and strategies. It is a fact that even the half-truths were in the minority. “It is my intention to address myself directly to some of these rumors because I feel we are operating from a position of strength and that the facts are with us. “There is no truth to the statement that NCEN plans ‘watered-down’ versions of its advertising. We feel, as our future ads will state, that ‘there is no proof that eating eggs will increase the risk of heart attack,’ and we’re not afraid to say so. The assertion in some quarters that NCEN plans to ‘placate’ the FTC is, quite simply, absurd. As a Federal regulatory agency, the FTC I\EW HOLLAND team t for haylage!' ...

Groff, Inc. iIOS Railroad Ave New Holland 131-U4l has specific, definite duties to perform and the use of the word ‘placate’ is gratuitously insulting, both to NCEN and to the FTC. “One poorly informed source went so far as to suggest that leeal counsel advised that we ignore the FTC’s request for in formation about our ad vertising. Another rumor stated that counsel said our position was ‘idefensible.’ Still another-totally un founded, as are they all-held that those who have sup ported NCEN thus far will be personally liable if any sort of FTC decision is directed against NCEN. This is purest hogwash, “Ordinarily, in this sort of controversy, one would not dignify absurdities such as these to the extent of quoting them even to refute them. But mistaken or irrespon sible statements will damage NCEN’s cause and I intend that this will not happen. No one else will speak for NCEN. NCEN is quite capable of speaking for itself, either through the chairman or our legal or public relations counsel. Rumors-any rumors-are not true because it is our intention to issue clear statements. And these will surely have some basis in law. Further, our plans for what we will and what we won’t do will not be subjects for public debate. We con sider any policy other than keeping our strategies to ourselves to be ineffectual, amateunsh-or both. L. H.
