PROBE REVEALS MILLIONS USED ON PROPAGANDA Senate Quiz Shows Total of $30,000,000 Spent by Power Trusts. BY CECIL OWEN InJU-d Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 28—Publicity and advertising activities conducted by power corporation groups on a nation-wide scale and annually costing about $30,000,000 stood revealed today in records of the federal trade commission after a fourteen-month investigation, t Recessing its public hearings for the summer, the commission announced it has completed its inquiry into propaganda by utilities and will take up the financial structure of the power industry when hearings are resumed in the fail. Expenditures Bared Expenditure of approximately $30,000,000 has been accounted for by reports of propaganda carried on by the National Electric Light Association, its state subsidiary bureaus and private corporations, together with an estimated $28,000,000 annual advertising bill paid by individual power companies. In the course of its exhaustive Inquiry, made under the Walsh senate resolution, the commission examined witnesses from every section of the country, introduced more than 4,400 exhibits and startled the country with its revelations of the extent of power industry propaganda efforts. Witnesses were subjected to relentless examination by Robert E. Healy, commission chief counsel, who personaly handed the entire inquiry. Newspapers Involved Probably the most sensational evidence disclosed by the hearings were the recent revelations that the International Paper Company, a combined newsprint and utility group, had investments in newspapers aggregating more than $100,000,000 in eight cities.

SCIENTISTS OF EUROPE BUILD MOONJIOCKET Flight Expected to Be Made Within Year: Find Way to Defeat Gravity. BY GEORGE KENT Unted Press Sttff Correspondent PARIS, June 28.—A rocket to the moon no longer is a fantasy. One may be fired from the earth within a year, according to members of the Societe Astronomique of France today. German, American, Austrian and French scientists have been collaborating with such effectiveness that a voyage by rocket to the moon,

to Mars and to Venus at last Is considered theoretically practical. The astronomers have not yet reached the point where they consider the advisability of inserting a passenger into the rocket. Professor Herman Oberth, a 35-year-old German, won the French society prize for developing what are considered entirely feasible methods of escaping terrestial attraction or gravity. Professor Oberth has constructed a double-tube rocket, emitting hydrogen and other gases at a speed of 2,500 miles a second. This speed of emission of those gases and the effect of the gases upon the surrounding atmosphere are calculated to neutralize the pull of gravity and permit the rocket to get clear of the earth. Byron Hiner, 1033 South Capitol avenue, was committed to the state farm for four months by Criminal Judge James A. Collins. Hinor was convicted two years ago on a charge of operating a blind tiger. The appellate court upheld the sentence.
