COPLEY DENIES
ACCUSATION OF
SENATOR NORRIS
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, March %. A
cablegram from President Ira c.
Copley of the Copley Press, Inc,
denying that his newspapers are
connected in any way with public
utility interests was submitted to
the senate without comment today
by Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braska.
After recounting his sale of util-
ity interests, Copley said he chad
no alliance, agreement or under
standing with any utility man or
any utility interest in the world.
Copley suggested Norris had been
misled "by someone who does not
know,' and concluded with the sug-
question if his (Copley's) statement
were true, Norris owed him repara-
tion "of the wrong you have mad
vertently done me-"
eff this statement is false, I
amply deserve the contempt of all
honest men," Copley said.
Norris charges that Coplev s
in Illinois and Califor'
MIA are identified with public util-
tiles interests will be investigated
by the Federal Trade COMMISSION, it
was authoritatively stated at the
commission today.
Terms of the Walsh Senate resol-
ution empowering the commission to
investigate public utilities virtually
require the commission TO inclade
