Young & Rubicam, one of the nation’s largest advertising agencies, announced that it has cancelled a six-month old contract with Austrian Presidential candidate Kurt Waldheim, apparently because of the continuing controversy regarding Waldheim’s alleged war-time activities. “The allegations concerning the war-time activities of Kurt Waldheim have led us to resign this account,” the agency said in a statement issued here. Waldheim. the former UN Secretary General, has vehemently denied the allegations.
