She sat there in a beach robe with a fetching display of bare skin, a towel wrapped rather interestingly around her head. From her lipsticked lips protruded a cigar. I said cigar. "If I were a man," she said sort of wistfully and maybe just a little wantonly, "Id smoke White Owls." Hi 1 1 THE CUTE KID, of course, was selling cigars in a national magazine advertisement. This, in case you don't realize the importance, was another first for Madison Avenue.

A historic breakthrough. The opening of a new frontier in the merchandising of a product once designed only for men. The invasion of one of man's last smoke-filled citadels. For months the advertising men have been tantalizing us. On TV, the lovely young lady of what seems to be reasonable culture picks up the cigar left by her male escort when he stepped to the men's room.

(Yes, there still is one.) You remember. She eyes it longingly, sneaks a look to see who's watching, then picks it up, hungry with desire. Suddenly, she realizes her escort is returning. She returns it guiltily but reluctantly to the ashtray, without having touched it to her lips. Now in the magazine ad.

the cigar is finally in her mouth. Still unlit, but it's there. At Life Magazine's'adver-tising department, Ralph Gallagher modestly admitted the ad was a first, but I Bomb Bridges Closer To Hanoi SAIGON Soviet-built MiG jets took to the air for the first time to challenge an armada of U.S. warplanes that blasted two key bridges only 65 miles from the North Vietnamese capital of Hanoi. The Red jets fled when missile-armed U.S.

jet interceptors zoomed in on them. The Communists claimed their forces shot down 12 of the more than 150 Navy and Air Force jets making the raids among the biggest of the war and the closest strikes to Hanoi ever made by U.S. jets. AN AMERICAN spokesman said two U.S. Navy planes were downed in the raid.

One crashed in North Vietnam after the pilot parachuted safely. It was feared he fell into Communist hands. The second plane managed to limp back to Da Nang air base where it crash landed. There was no mention of U.S. Air Force loses.

It was assumed the Communist Jets belonged to the fledgling air force of North Vietnam, which has been suppled by Red China with between 13 and 20 outdated MiG 17s.

Co-1 hen of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), said the nation's tax collectors would give "sym pathetic consideration" to per sons who found they owe extra taxes this year because of pay roll under-withholding. HE SAID these taxpayers would be given "a reasonable period of time" to pay up if they cannot do so by April 15. But Interest will be charged on the unpaid amount.

Cohen stressed that taxpayers must file their returns by the deadline, even 4f they cannot pay what they owe, or fare heavy penalties. Millions of Americans includ ing President Johnson have discovered that their payroll withholding was not enough to cover their 1964 federal income tax. That was because Congress cut the withholding rate from 18 to 14 per cent in March, 1964, but did not reduce the actual tax rate proportionately. Both rates will be closer in line in 1965. THE PRESIDENT disclosed this week that, like many other Americans, he had to borrow money to help pay his tax ball, which totaled $100,000.

Banks and finance companies across the country have reported an upsurge in personal loans as the tax deadline draws near. Cohen noted that taxpayers were advised last year to in- crease their payroll withholding voluntarily to avoid a heavier tax bill than usual this year. Many did, he said, but others could not. TO THE LATTER, he said: "If the taxpayer can demon- Free Prese Photo by JIMMY TAFOYA THIS CHARRED CROSS, held by Patrolman Rosa Bertram, was found in the backyard of the late Mrs. Viola Gregg Liuzzo, a white woman slain while aiding the voting rights protests in Alabama.

"As long as It's In good taste well, as long as It's not in bad taste we don't get Into the creative act," Gallagher explained. "If we thought it was too kookie, we might reject it." To cigar companies, the ad simply reflects the increasing number of women who are smoking cigars. MANY OF the old social taboos are fading, and the were set up in biology and chemistry classes. Health classes discussed the cancer factors in cigarets.

The burning cross was placed on the lawn of Louis Washington, 38, of 12651 Griggs. It was a crude affair, police iiaid, with an electric conduit upright crossed by a broom-handle and wrapped in gasoline-soaked rags.

The other three crosses, found earlier Saturday, were planted in front of the City- County Building; at Dexter and Davison, and in the backyard of a white Detroit woman slain in Alabama, where she had been a civil rights worker. TWO OF THE CROSSES were crudely constructed of scraps of lumber but the third the one found in front of the City -County Building was made of finished wood and had a heavy base. In addition to leaving the cross, someone had spray-painted the sidewalk In front of 13118 Dexter with the words: "White superiority forever RKK." The building1 at the Dexter address, now vacant, was for merly the headquarters of the Detroit branch of the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People.

And the unwritten code of the liquor industry that a woman shouldn't be pictured as drinking a highball or beer is beginning to be broken down. At this rate of "progress" the gal in the unlit cigar ad may be offered a match in a few more months. And by 1966 there likely will be some wisps of smoke. ii; Hi schools.

AS AMERICAN planes have struck further to the north, they have come within range of the MiG fighters stationed near Hanoi. The expectation, therefore, officials said, was that eventually North Vietnam would commit the planes to action. The MiG fighters In North Vietnam, however, ere not viewed as presenting a significant military threat to the American air effort against North Vietnam.

Both in terms of numbers and types of airplanes, the North Vietnamese Air Force is far outclassed by the air power that the United States can ex tend over North Vietnam from carriers and bases in South Vietnam. Saturday's big American raid was aimed at two strategic Communist "lifeline" bridges just north of Thanh Hoa and 65 miles south of Hanoi. OVEK 100 carrier-based Navy jets raked the bridge at Dong Phuong in the morning and then went back several hours later to blast it again. A Navy spokesman said the bridge was knocked out. Meanwhile, about 50 U.S.

Pearson in apparent amity Saturday but g-ave no sign he shares Pearson's view that a pause in air strikes against North Vietnam might mark a first step toward peace. At Mr. Johnson's invitation, Pearson visited the President for a couple of hours at the Camp David Presidential retreat in the nearby Catoctin Mountains.

Meeting newsmen before they parted, neither man volunteered anything about their joint discussion, of Pearson's suggestion, put forward Friday night, for a temporary moratorium on American air strikes north of the 17th Parallel. However, Pearson did concede, in response to a direct question, that "we talked about Vietnam and a view that I have expressed last night. three charred crosses were Nuclear Reactor Put in Orbit VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. (VPD America's first nuclear power plant designed for space missions was launched Saturday on an Atlas-Agena rocket The big space vehicle zoomed from its pad here and after 2'i hours achieved a polar orbit. Called SNAP 10A For Sys tems for Nuclear Auxiliary Power the vehicle carried an atomic power system capable of supplying 500 watts of electrical energy for an Air Force ion rocket engine.

THE ENGINE will propel future space vehicles to planets such as Jupiter at 100,000 miles an hour, it is hoped. Atomic power batteries have been flown aboard space ve hicles, but this is first one to carry its own miniature nuclear reactor. The reactor is a miniaturized version of the giant power plants which run Polaris submarines and land-based power plants. It weighs 970 pounds. The government has spent $111.8 million since 1959 on the SNAP 10A project.

The reactor was designed to operate for a year. The SNAP 10A lacks sufficient thrust for launching but is adequate for powering a vehicle in space, the Atomic Energy Commission said. "ON A TRIP to Jupiter," an AEC spokesman said, "an ion engine could reach a speed of 100,000 miles aJid hour and cover the distance in less than a year. A chemical rocket of the kind now in use would take 2 Vs years for the same trip." AEC spokesman Carl R. Malm strom said the SNAP 10 A launching was another first in the U.S.

space program. He explained that "once spacecraft become large enough and sophisticated enough to need more than a few hundred watts of electricity for more than a few weeks, electricity from nuclear power appears to be the only answer." A citizens committee studying juvenile crime problems called Saturday for creation of special Detroit public school classes for emotionally disturbed teen-agers to keep them BY JEAN SHARLEY Free Press Staff Writer Michigan's new textbook for children on smoking, labeled the best in the nation, has been mailed to 5,500 school officials and health educators. The 32-page guide, called "Smoking and Its Relationship to Health and Disease," will be used in grades five through 12 in both public and parochial schools. It is the result of almost two years of study and experimentation in which dedicated teachers, including some from, the Detroit public school system, doggedly puffed on cigarets and blew smoke through tubes to work out classroom experiments.

By Jan. 11, 1964, when Surgeon General Dr. Luther L. Terry called cigarets "'a health hazard of sufficient importance to warrant appropriate remedial action," the Michigan text book was taking shape. Forty Detroit-area schools participated in a pilot study last year.
