PROPAGANDA OF UTILITIES GOES INTOCOLLEGES Newspaper Aid in Spreading Vast Mass of ‘Evidence’ Is Revealed. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 26.—Evidence designed to show a nationwide effort to distribute power company propaganda in schools and newspapers was presented to the federal trade commission Thursday as the government investigation of the nation's utilities was continued. Colonel William T. Chantland, assistant chief counsel, submitted to the commission documents showing that, between 1926 and 1928, pamphlets were distributed to schools and universities in every section of the country by various state “committees on public utility Information.” The number of pamphlets ranged from 165,000, distributed in 1927 in the New England states, excluding Connecticut, to 300 pamphlets opposing the Swing-Johnson bill distributed that year in Colorado. Effective Use Shown Reports showing the effectiveness of power propaganda in the newspapers also were submitted to the commission by Chantland. Quoting from reports of publicity directors in the various states, Chantland’s summary said that, beginning in 1923 and in the succeeding forty-seven months, in Illinois, the newspapers reprinted 108,000 column-inches of material prepared by utility publicity men. From Georgia it was reported that “many newspapers reprint our material.” The report from Florida said “editorial matter was printed that could not have been purchased at any price,” and that “60 per cent of the newspapers print our material.” Many Placed in Schools Returning to the question of school and university propaganda, Chantland placed documents in the commission records showing that, in 1927, fourteen universities in the Great Lakes area received free copies of a power company’s sponsored book entitled “Guiding Principles of Public Service.” In 1927, 691 Illinois public schools were recipients of from 50,000 to 75,000 copies of each of several pamphlets published by the state committee on public utility information.
