By CECIL OWEN
Omitted PreSs Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The
president of the Tennessee Press
Association, Hugo Doak, and for
mer newspaper man. Guy P. New,
bern, handle all publicity activities
directed by uiilities os that state,
the Federal Trade Commission learn
ed today in its power inquiry.
Doak, who acts as assistant in the
office of the Tennessee Committee
of Utility Information, is editor of
the Manchester Times, the commis-
sion was told.
The testimony was given by
Newbern, director of the publicity
committee.
An average of $4,000 is spent by
Tennessee utilities in the public
relations work carried on by Doak
and Newberu, the witness said.
Newbern testified also he is a mem
Der of the Press Association and at
tends its meetings. For his actlvI-
ties to the utilities, Doak receives a
salary Of 1925 month.
Propaganda pamphlets supplied his
committee by the National Electric
Light Association, have been dis
tributcd in schools, Newbern said.
Regulation Of utilities by state com
mission was praised in the pam
Fhlets.
Admits Bitter Fight
Newbern was asked if there had
not been u bitter fight in Tenncs-
see to abolish the state commission
on the ground that it was made
quatc. He replied in the affirmative
and admitted the pamphlets were
designed to sway opinion in favor
Of the commission.
One copy Of the Tennessee utility
news entered in the record quoted 4
writer in the New York Telegram,
Scripps-lloward newspaper, as
saving that the present investiga-
tion may react favorably to the
utility industry.
Ralph Hcndcrschott, financial
editor cf the New York Telegram in
Il recent article in that paper, de-
clared that the power companies of
the United States would have little
difficulty in proving that they have
done more for the development of
the United States than any other
agency and that the proposed inves-
tigation by the American Congress
is entirely uncalled for.
"'The New York Telegram is the
principal unit in the Scripps How
ard chain of newspapers of which
the Knoxville News Sentinel and
and Memphis Press-Scimitar are
also units. These papers have dis
played a tendency to support gov
crnment ownership and have been
in some eases unfriendly to the util-
ity interests
The story was headlined "Larg-

BY the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Wash. January IL
Fears that disaster had overtaken the
steamship Griffco, reported in distress
presumably about 800 miles of the
Washington coast. arose today as
dozen radio stations attempted to
break through the wall Of silence
which seemingly had enveloped the
Honolulu, hound craft. The ship car
ried crew Of - and 1 passenger.
$ O = calls from the l.463-ton
freighter were intercepted here twice
last night. After the second distress
message the radio of the steamer ap.
parently went dead. Conjecture arose
as 10 whether some mishap aboard
the steamer might have prevented
transmission OF further calls for help.
The United states Weather Bureau
reported a storm in the approximate
vicinity Of the Griffco.
In her two distress calls the Criffco
failed to transmit her position and
gave no indication OF the nature of
her trouble
Before dayhreak, the cutter Haida
