UTILITIES BUY HOGYER'S SPEECH Light Association' Disposes ol G Washington, Sept. 20 (UP)—Lit- erature distributed by the Nationa! Electric Light association in its cam- paign to sway opinion against fed- eral regulation of utilities included an address by Herbert Hoover, re- publican presidential nominee, ac- cording to testimony on flle with the federal trade commission teday. Its utilities inquiry was in recess today until tomerrow. The Hoover speech “Why the Pub- | lic Requires Btate Rather Than Fed- eral Regulation of Electric Public Utilities” was circulated 1in for $626.46 from Harold Phelps Btokes, former Hoover aide, accord- ing to testimony offered late yester- day. Telling of distribution of the Hoover address, George F. Oxley. publicity director for the N. E. L. A., | said: “It was so good that it ordered large quantities sent out to our peo- ple Candidate Cleared At Hoover's headquarters here, it was explained he had nothing to do with sale of his speech, but that any persons interested were always able to buy copies of his talks. In his speech, made before the 1925 convention of the National As- sociation of Rallroad and Utilities commissioners, Hoover pleaded for continuance of state regulation of utilities. Describing proposals Yor government regulation as cratic,” Hoover said he did not be- lieve the people “are ready to sur-| render control of their most intimate concerns to a paternal government at Washington, however wise or however powerful.” Testimony yesterday was studded with names of persons prominent in public life who received money from the N. E. L. A. for expenses, articles or speeches. Among these were Wil- liam Allen White, Kansas publisher, who got $500 for a speech; Mrs. John D. Sherman, former president of the General Federation of Wom- en’s clubs, and Bruce Barton, adver- tising man. Mrs. Sherman, it was testified, was paid $600 each for a number of articles she wrote on rural living standards for publication in nall town newspapers. Barton received $338 expense money for attending the N. E. L. A. 1925 convention in fan Francisco and also $5,000 for “inspirational pamphlets” sent to consumers with their bills. The pay- ments to Mrs. Sherman came from « $100,000 fund for rural paper publicity. Spent in Display This fund was handled by the ad- vertising firm of Lord, Thomas & logan, New York, which acted as “‘advertising counsel” to the N. E. 1. A, Oxley testified. Most of the money was spent in display adver- tising, Oxley said, but payments were made to Mrs. Sherman and others for articles which were published in the News columns. Other checks entered in the rec- ord showed payments to Dr. James Mavor, Ontario, Canada, pro- fessor, who made surveys of that province’s public owned utilities; Charles A.
