Wentink Blasts FTC Rumors
"As one who feels we’re in
a real fight, and as a Penn
sylvanian, it seems ap
propriate for me to quote
Benjamin Franklin’s ob
servation to John Hancock
on the occasion of the signing
of the Declaration of In
dependence; ‘We must all
hang together, else we shall
all hang separately.’ It is no
different in our NCEN battle
-or in any other battle. In
ternal divisiveness is
weakening and energies
expended in warfare among
ourselves are not available
to be directed at the enemy,”

according to Hendrik
Wentink, chairman of the
National Commission on Egg
Nutrition.
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

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.

We hope the industry will be
solidly behind us. We suggest
that all rumors are best

How To Grow
Heifers Fast!
Wayne Calf Krunch builds smooth, growthy
heifers . fast'Young calves love its sweet,
grainy texture and molasses-covered vitamin
pellets, laced with milk products. It's so
tempting they eat earlier, grow faster, mature
and freshen soonei, adding months to their
productive lives. When heifers freshen at two
years or earlier, you know it works. In tests
between Wayne Calf Krunch and a typical
herd milking ration for starting heifer calves,
the Wayne-fed calves gained 15% more
weight on 0% less starter feed ! Try it, and see
