Self extinguishing cigarette panel seeks of regulate smokers1 tire Hazard Washington is the consumer product safely commission is seeking authority to regulate cigarettes and Small cigars to reduce their potential As fire hazards. In a recent letter to Congress the cps endorsed legislation to permit the commis Sion to draw up a self extinguishing cigarette performance Standard. A self extinguishing cigarette the cps said would reduce the risk of furniture and mattress fires started by soldering cigarettes. The commission s endorsement came in response to a congressional query on legis lation introduced by rep. Joe Moakley d mass., and sen. Alan Cranston a Calif. According to a commission aide it is the first time the commission has endorsed such legislation even though Congress consid ered a similar measure five years ago. But prospects for the self extinguishing cigarette Are still not very promising. Twice. Congress specifically has barred the cps from regulating cigarettes largely As a result of opposition by the tobacco Industry opposition which congressional aides say has not changed. Then Loo the measure will have to go through the Senate consumer affairs sub committee which is chaired by a tobacco state senator Wendell Ford Day. But despite the stiff opposition the cps is urging passage of the measure. The commission suggests that if such a Standard can be developed it would help reduce the 1.300 residential fire deaths caused annually by soldering cigarettes. The commission is now working with the upholstered furniture Industry to reduce the flammability of the furniture itself but the cps says both safeguards Are needed. Even with a cigarette Standard it would still be necessary. To continue efforts to make upholstered furniture As resistant to soldering fires As reasonably possible the commission said in a letter to the House and Senate Commerce committees. Although we do not know whether a technically feasible and effective cigarette Standard could be developed the research Effort should be pursued since it could significantly reduce injuries deaths and prop erty damage from soldering upholstered furniture and mattress fires. Citing National Bureau of standards tests which indicate that some furniture can be ignited in less than two minutes by a soldering cigarette the commission noted that a two minute self extinguishing Stan Dard May not be feasible because it is questionable from both technical and con Sumer acceptance  hand capped actress wins More than just a Tony new York up Evila won the most awards in he 34th annual Tony awards sunday night but Phyllis Frolich won the hearts of the 1,521 people in the audience at the Mark Hellinger theater and of the 30 million viewers who saw her live on lbs to.
