PROBE CONTIUES Trade Commission to Hear More Testimony Today 5 Washington, Oct. 12 (UP)—Pro- paganda activities of northwestern power interests were to be examin-| ed further today in the federal trade | commission's utilities investigation. 'wo witnesses, Berkeley Snow, Portland, secretary of the North. west klectric Light and Power as-| sociation, and H, L. Walther, Port-| land, manager of the Oregon Public Utility Information oureau, were | scheduled to testify. | Questioning of witnesses yesterday | developed new evidence of utility propaganda in public schools. Pamphlets praising the private pow- er industry were widely distributed in schools of Oregon and Washing- ton with the approval of the state| school superintendents, the commis- | sioni learned. Some pamphlets were | withdrawn when objection to them arose. The pamphlets which were said to reach 50,4900 high school stu- dents, were ‘endorsed by Mrs. Jos-| ephine Corliss Preston, Washington | superintendent, and Charles How- ard, Oregon superintendent. Mrs. Preston aided in editing the pamph- lets circulated in Washington and received payments for this work, Mrs. Clare K. Tripp, director of the Washington industries education bu- | reau testified. Name Appears | Though her name appeared as author, Mrs. Tripp admitted the| pamphlets were really written by Norwood W. Brockett a publicity agent for the Puget Sound Light & Power Co. Mra, Tripp said she knew | little of the subject and could never have prepared the paumphlet with- out help. | Pamphlets used in Oregon schools | were recalled last March, Mrs. Tripp testified, when Superintendent How- ard becanve alarmed after an un- named newspaperman had de- nounced them as propaganda. How- | ard requested that the booklets be called in, she explained, because he feared an impending “attack on utilities” might involve his name, Letters were then sent all local school superintendents asking them | to return the pamphlets because they contained some information “not quite up-to-date” Mrs. Tripp said. Judge Robert E. Healy, chlef commission counsel, elicited an ad- mission that the school men were not told the real reason for the sud- den withdrawal. | Cost of printing the pamphlets | was borne by the Oregon public | utllity information bureau, a report | showed, The amount was $921.30 for 3,600 pamphlets. | Materfal in the pamphlets was described as “mere propaganda” by Judge Healy who quoted numerous #tatements which came within this category, Examination of Willlam 1.
