PROBERS BARE FREE AOS FOR POWER TRUST Spent Millions in Good Will Drives, Federal Trade Board Asserts. tt-l S> lf r Vi'lnrf WASHINGTON. Nov. 22 —The f*d*ral trade cammivuon reported to coi.gress today on part of its sixyear study of utility propaganda activities. In this second section of It* final report the commission dealt with ca 1 1 of press publicity activities, mar haling dozens of Instances in which ' gooo will advertising." Ci.p sheets and banquets netted them hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of ItvoraDiC news and editorials. The utility good will advertising." ofien withheld m papers which did not editorially support them, reared a p* ax of $25,000,000 to $3 '*>o,ooo in 1927, according to t* ’imony at the hearings reviewed by the report. • u iy," the commission repf.rtfd. “the two most important O pinion-making and OfltniOO-fann-ing media are the press and the schools. We find tha mo t widespread and thorough planning and attention to the publicity given to these two greatest opinion-making factors." Report on Free Space Many state bureaus of information maintained by utilities reported regularly on free space obtained. Reporting to the National Electric Light Association on results, George F. Oxley said: "There are twenty-three states with newspaper bureaus functioning in such a way that newspapers in s.x states are using an average of 8.0TK5 column inches of material every month.” The Illinois committee, however, dio not tabulate Iree space obtained. H. M. L tie ol the committee cxp'..’ned why: “We discontinued the practice oi compiling any figures on the amount of newspaper space obtained," he wrote a colleague, “for the reason we were afraid they would become public and might be misunderstood. In other words, that we might be put in a position of being free spacegrabbers." Editorials Reprinted The New England bureau reported: “One of the most amazing and valuable results we have so far obtained has been the number of editorials published in many of the leading newspapers m New England wlit re our material has been directly reprinted in the editonal columns or taken as a text for favorable comment on the public utility problems." Speeches before public gatherings, the information bureau directors were told, always netted newspaper space. Covering transactions in which utility affiliates directly bought into 1 n* v 'papers, the report also details subsidies given newspaper services. “In addition to direct contact with the press, the report shows so-called newspaper news and editorial services were given financial support by tin utilities and that generally th re was no di>closure to the public of this support. Publishing Agencies Listed The list included: “F Hofer A- Sons. Portland. Ore. “Utilities Publication Company, and Public Service Magazine, Chicago. “Public Utilities Reports, Inc., Rochester. N. Y. “Parnell's Newspaper Service, Florence. Ala. “National Industrial Conservation Board. Inc.. Chicago. “Pixie Magazine.

Their service went to 14.000 papers, chiefly country weeklies.
