spotlight today In the federal trade

industry propaganda.
Resuming open hearings after a
week, the commission called r. NJ.

Two other witnesses. Berkeley

Electric Light e. Power association
at Portland. and w. r. Putnam OF
Boise, treasurer of the Idaho COM
mittee on relation of electricity to

Attack Projects
Evidence at an earlier hearing
disclosed that the Hotter News agen-
cy has taken 4 strong stand against
government operation of such pro-
jects as Boulder Dam and Muscle
shoals. Articles attacking these
projects have been distributed by
the bureau to It's clients.
The Hofer bureau is said to serve
about $4,000 daily and weekly news
papers in - states. Most of its
papers. however, are in western
states, according TO testimony of
George V. Lewis, director of the
Rocky Mountain committee on utll-
ity information. a Denver Organza-
ton.
Lewis admitted he pays The Hofer
service SIS month but said this
was merely a subscription to the
service. The bureau has sometimes
reprinted his publicity in news let
tiers to it's clients, Lewis testified.
4 large number of utility firms
and organizations are subscribers to
the Hofer service, Lewis said, and
this explains their interest in the
power question.

for or against Muscle Shoals" Lew

POSSIBLY" Lewis replied. Il
would not subscribe to it if it were
against my interests
Lewis was asked whether he
knew to what extent utilities have
contributed toward support of the
Hofer agency. He said he knew
only from hearsay that the bureau
has received money from power
groups and could not tell in detail
what money was paid.
isn't it true they have taken a
strict anti-public ownership stand
all the way down the line ever since
you have known them?' the wit
ness was asked.
Answers sYes."
He replied affirmatively.

over the school committee, and then
he referred to the last annual mes
sage Of the mayor which favored
appropriations under the direct con-
troll OF the common council. He
continued:
1.-THE mayor IL trying to bring the
school committee into politics. One
man has placed himself in the posi-
ton where he will block the educa-
ton OF our children. II l have to
stand on my two legs and fight. ]
will fight and will continue to do SO
il 1t will aid education. but II have
harmed education will regret it to
my dying day., The association
members applauded Mr.. Day and as
the applause was dying down. Mar
tin J. Kelley was given the door.
This group is all one-sided and
are destructive In their criticism of
our city officials. We should be
constructive. Put 1t before the peo-
pie of the city and let them vote on
it. You are unfair and 1t Is just
propaganda. Mr.. Hall is left in a
difficult position. He is questioned
right and left. II this is the methods
you are using. ! am through"
Mr.. King said he would be glad
to put the school question before the
public but that the charter would
have to be changed to allow this
move.
Il saw a girl, crippled from the
waist down. trying 10 cross the
double crossing from the main
building to the Rockwell school"
Mr., Holmes said. 1.-THE Lord knows
if there is anyone VINO needs educa-
ton it is crippled child. These
boys and girls in their eagerness to
be on time for their studies expose
themselves to dangers"
Mr.. Kelly said it was unfair to
take action because there was not a
fair representation Of the parents
present. President Black called up
on Stanley Hunt to take the chair
while he gave his opinion. He said
he took great pains to see that every
child had notice to bring home to
his parents and that the meeting
was representative Of the parents.
A motion was adopted to ask the
board OF finance to give the school
board a hearing on it's plans for an
addition. The only two who did mol
vote were Me Kelly and Mr.. Hall
The others present approved Inc
motion.
1t was voted to invite the United
Parents and Teachers to a luncheon
some noon hour.

III We can't afford to have the
addition let them say 70, and If they
won't have an addition let them say
80, but let Us have accommodations.
he declared.
Questioned as to whether bonds
could be sold without the mayors
approval. Mr.. Hall said the city
never had the experience OF trying
and he was not certain. but he hopes
the city would not experiment.
Holmes Asks Patience
Supt. Holmes again asked for per-
mission to speak to the parents. He
said he wanted to tell the parents
what they are to expect next win
ter. He asked them to hold them
selves In check because there will be
a great many things happening in
the winter which will not meet with
their approval. He said there was
hope OF having a High school by
next September, but now there Is no
hope. He pointed out that the pres
ent plant reached its limit last June
and that 1t was necessary for the
school authorities to drag OUT pu-
pills from the Rockwell school to
make room for the High school
pupils.
He said there would be another in
crease in February and more Rock
well pupils would have to be taken
out and put in the Walnut Hill
school because there will be APP
proximately 60 or 100 pupils in need
Of accommodations. Either this or
a half session morning and after
noon plan would be necessary, he
said. but he added that this would
be very unsatisfactory as the depart
ment has previous experience along
this line.
Mr.. Holmes continued with the
statement that the department was
trying to stave off the two-platoon
plan because 1t was q terrible thing
for the boys and girls who won't
study out OF hours.
This thing il no joke" he said
1T is not desirable and the Lord
knows what will happen next Sep
tember."
Mr.. Day expressed the opinion
that the entire movement was one
to effect delay and that politics, not
party politics. but politics was the
cause. Someone. he said, should
call a spade a spade. He contin-
ued with the statement that he fully
subscribed to the thoughts expressed
by Chairman King except that a
friendly feeling should prevail. He
said he grew angry every time he
heard the question discussed.
He added the fact that the mayor
appointed a committee of IA and
when it voted In favor of the addi-
ton, the mayor appointed commit
tee of seven, most of whom were old
members who either favored delay
or did not want the addition. Mr..
Hall was a member OF the first
committee and he voted in favor OF
the plan, but he was not reappoint-
ed he said.
| All this new committee Is doing
is to point out to the public In a
destructive way the faults OF the
schools. he declared. Matters such
as store rooms and school buildings
with LIS vacancies are brought in.
do they expect the school board to
find pupils 10 put In these vacant
spaces?"
He continued by saying he heard
of q former member OF the school
board who vowed that when one Of
his pet schemes was defeated that
the proposition would NOT "a

King Explains board Policy
Mr.. King, who is also member
OF the association said practically
the only school construction which
was not anticipated during the re-
Etme of Judge Gaffney was the adj
dition to the Nathan Hale school
and the addition to the Senior High
school which is now being proposed.
All other construction was planned
years ago. He said he was carrying
on Judge 0aIfney's program.
The school board chairman then
turned to the matter before the
ant to tell people that the board
was going to spend half million
dollars. He said he was brought up

counted and it still counted with
him and the school boaru

Principal Slade in a letter to the

He told of the steps which follow
ed until last July when the recon-
mendation for the erection of the
addition was ready.
1t was Mr. Kings opinion that
the ideal plan was to aban the
Central Junior High school, use the
Senior High school plant AS a Jun

senior high school plant. This
would cost 100000 ne predicted
