TRADECOMMISSION 5 BALKED I PROBE Attempt to Fix Authorship of Utility Memorandum Fails at Hearing. By the Assoclated Press. The Federal Trade Commission, pur- suing its investigation of public power utilities, yesterday dipped briefly into the attitude of utility interests toward the Federal Power Commission in an unsuccessful attempt to establish the authorship of an unsigned memorandum which had been circulated as purport- ing to represent opposition by the utility mfi?é.’s to the commission’s accounting m ef L Paul A. Schoelkopf, president of the Nmflm Falls Power Co., under ques- tioning by commission counsel, dis- claimed any knowledge of the memo~ randum, said he had not inspired it and that it did not represent his views. M. O. Leighton, Washington consult- ing engineer, who said his work largely was confined to utility matters, likewise said he had no connection with the memorandum. He said that while he considered the Power Commission’s ac- counting methods ‘‘cumbersome and unworkable” he could not answer di- rectly whether the views expressed in the mysterious paper coincided with his, as a large portion of the document was devoted to aspects which were not fig- ured in his work. Paul S. Clapp, managing director of the National Electric Light Association, took the stand briefly to say that the document did not “have authority and does not express the sentiments, opin- ions or viewpoints of the National Elec- tric Light Association.” He said the memorandum had been given circula- tion by Lawrence Todd, a Washington newspaper man.
