Not | MISS BANULSKY SHOWERED had the | Widespread Power | | Washington, June 28 (UP)—Pub- licity anq advertising activities con- ducted by power corporation groups on a nationwide scale and costing about $30,000,000 annually, stood revealed today in records of the fedcral trade commission after & 14-month - investigation. Recessing its public hearings for the summer, the commission an. nounced it has completed its in- aujry inte propaganda by utilites und will take up the financial struc- ture of the power industry when ! Learings are resumed in the fall. Expenditures Vast Expenditure of approximately $30,000,000 has been accounted for by reports of propaganda carried on by the National Electric Light asso- ciation, its state subsidiary bureaus and private corporations together with an estimated $28,000,000 an- ivnudl advertising bill paid by indi- vidual power compahies. In the course of its exhaustive in- quiry, made under the Waly senate resolution, the commission examin- ed witnesses from every section of | the country, introduced more than 4,400 exhibits and startled the coun- try with its revelations of the ex- | tent of power industry propaganda | efforts, Witnesses were subjected to re- Robert I counsel, the entire | lentless examination by Healy, commission chief whop ersonally handled | inquiry. | Authority Questioned | The commission’s authority to { subpoena documents and question | Witnesses was challenged in one in- | stance by the Electric Bond & Share -{ company, powerful New York hold- ing corporation for a large number of utility companies in all parts of the United States. That case is still | pending in New York courts, but has not halted the inquiry. Probably the most sensational evi- | dence disclosed by the hearings were tiie recent revelations that the In- ternationat Paper company, a com- bined newsprint and utility corpora- tion, had investments in newspapers aggregating more than $100,000,000 in eight cities. As a result of testi- | mony by A. R. Graustein, president of the company, the poet office de- partment required amended owner- ship statements from 10 of the newspapers involved. Attornev Gep- eral Mitchell is now considering whether to prosecute newspapers ship statements.

Legislation providing for stricter federal supervision of the power in- dustry is regarded as a posaible out- come of the investigation. High lights of the inquiry may be | summarized briefly as follows: 1. Wide distribution of utility | pamphlets and other propaganda in | schools with the assistance of el¥n- cators. 2. Extensive publicity public ownership in newspapers, pamphlets, etc., some of which were published by the S8mithsonian Insti- tution, Many Propaganda Burcaus 3.

Employment o/ about 50 edu: cators to werk with the N. E. L. A. in various aspects of its pyblicity efforts. 6. Burveillance of a number of state legislators and employment uf lobbyists to obtain coples of blils and defeat legislation considered inimical to the power industry. When hearings are resumed, the utility groups are to have an oppor- tunity at a speelal hearing for that purpose to explain thelr side of the controversy that has developed as 4 result of the commission’s inquiry.
