Caught In Squeeze, P & G Drops Whipple Tribute


Procter & Gamble has postponed a tribute to Dick Wilson, the actor who has played Mr. Whipple in Charmin commercials, CNN reported Wednesday.

The news channel quoted a P&G spokesman as saying that the actors' strike against advertisers "makes the timing awkward." At a New York rally last month, Wilson drew cheers when he declared, "Please don't squeeze the actors!"
