Utilities Spent Million
On Political Ventures,
Power Quiz Reveals
Northwest Firms Protest
Order to File Report OF
Intended Expenses

A Federal Power Commission trial
examiner asserted today that ill
advised political adventure" of five

have, mot surprisingly. alarmed
public opinion in the Northwest"
The examiner, Samuel H. Crosby.
in report made public today, as
serted that in the last five years, the
companies had spent more than a
million dollars in political activities.
He concluded that fully three
fourths of that amount was spent to
accomplish objectives of a political
nature and that the balance in
cluded charges questionable both as
to their political character and as
to their accounting disposition"
The commission itself, in recent
report, had found similar amount
expended and said that half of it
was charged to consumer service" :"
The companies, complying with a
commission order, have filed state
ments of intended expenditures this
year, but contended the order was
unfair because among other things,
it did not apply to all utilities or to
two public bodies-the Bonneville
Power Administration and the
Seattle light department.
The utilities concerned we're the

Premier Molotoff has refused to

Declaring public confidence in
aviation control by the Commerce
Department has been shaken, the
National Aeronautic Association to-
day called for a general Tightening
of Federal regulations governing bad
weather flying.

due to the transfer of civil aviation

Charges to this effect, neverthe-

is to the interest of all that the cir
cumstances be fully examined and
that the public know the whole stu
alton, whatever it may be"
The association pointed out that
recent air disasters ARE traceable
in large degree to bad weather"
The associations program follows:
l. A special board of prominent
citizens, expert in aviation, should
be formed at once to review the
entire situation and make recon-
mendations.
2, All existing safety regulations,
enforcement methods, and accident
investigation procedures should be
Immediately reviewed and frightened
wherever necessary.
8. The Salt Lake accident involved,
among other causes, the competence
of C. A. A. employe. There should
be an immediate review Of the
qualifications of all C. A. A. and
c. A. B. employees whose work affects
air safety and the dismissal, demo-
ton, or transfer of all who do not
measure up to standard.
4. To minimize the possibility of
human errors in judgment, a
Tightening of regulations is necessary
to limit the discretion of individuals
as to take-off and flight in bad
