WASHINGTON, June 26.-Or-
ganized education, aroused by dis
closures of widespread utilities
propaganda in public schools of the
Nation, is preparing to investigate
the whole subject.
A resolution for such an inquiry
will be introduced at the National
Education Association convention in
Minneapolis next week, it was
learned today.
The meeting Is expected also to
take a strong stand against intro
duction of any form of propaganda
in school curriculums.
Especial attention will be paid to
the part educators may have played
in the power interests effort to in
wade the classrooms, as. revealed by
the Federal Trade Commissions in
quiry. Numerous educators have
been named in the power investi-
cation as friendly to the utilities
campaign.
The educators investigation, how
ever, will not Uonfine itself to utili-
ties propaganda. but will seek to
discover to what extent other in
terests have made similar attempts
to influence youthful minds.

HALTS DODGE
MERGER DEAL
Minority Stockholders Get
Injunction to Block
Chrysler Control.

RV United press
NEW YORK, June 26.-The $780,
100000 merger of Dodge Brothers,
Inc, and the Chrysler Corporation,
which was to have become effective
today, has been halted. .temporari-
ly as least, by minority stock
holders injunction.
Supreme Court Justice Richard
P. Lydon late Monday granted a
temporary injunction staying the
merger pending a hearing in Su-
prene Court today before Justice
George v. Mullan.
The action was brought in the
name of Col. Calvin Hooker God
dard of Richmond, Va, and is
directed against Dillon, Read g. Co.,
bankers who acquired control of the
Dodge Company in 1925, and hold
all of its voting stock. Colonel God
dard is said to represent about 5000
shares, of preferred stock out of a
total of $4,000 shares outstanding.
SndTG LOT snare Exchange
House, Holthusen g. McCloskey,
counsel for Colonel Goddard, in a
statement, said the action was based
on the contention of Dillon, Read
& Co. that the Dodge assets can
be transferred without regard to
the right of the preference stock
holders to receive sos a share for
their stock on dissolution of the
company or the liquidation of its
assets"
Terms of the proposed merger, as
agreed upon by the directorates of
both companies, call for the ex-
change on a share for share basis
Of the Dodge preferred stock for
Chrysler common stock, five shares
Of Dodge Glass A common for one
share of Chrysler common, and ten
shares of Dodge Glass B common
for one share of Chrysler common
stock.
One-Third of Stock
Based on the value of Chrysler
stock, at close Of the market Mon
day, the Dodge preferred share
holders would receive shares worth
$69.50 for their stock. Dodge pre-
ferred, however, closed at $66.25.
IF all the Dodge stock is ex-
changed" the statement read, "the
Dodge shareholders will hold 1887
004 shares Of Chrysler common, or
scarcely more than % per cent of
the total of 4,425, 900 shares. In
other words, they will have con-
tributed half or more of the assets
Of the recapitalized Chrysler cor
poration and will receive less than
one-third of the stock representing
the combined assets of Dodge
Brothers, Inc, and the present
Chrysler corporation"
Above ChrysIer Assets
The balance sheet of the Dodge
Company as of Dec. 81, 1927, lists
total assets of $131, 569, 1858, while
Chrysler'S assets as of the same date
we're listed as $103,894,681.

said the statement, ''if they make
the exchange, share for share, will
hold about $4,000 shares of Chrys-
Ter common out of the total 4,423, 484
