By 1'ntil .Mallon WASHINGTON, June 7. The now deal press agent system has been de nounced, as an octopus strangling all truth, and praised as a device to turn on tne light of publicity. Those who have conic most close ly in contact with it have found It is fre quently neither. It functions at its best and Its worst in the publicity head quarters of Lhc bureau o f na tional parks, In- tnrlnr tl P D B r t- I. M AI I.ON ment. There the delicate and subtle i - i j ft'' 1 propaganda emanates dally. The oni reason you have not heard about It Is that most panting correspondents neglect to read such world-shaking hand-outs, as, for instance, the re cent one from that source Mugged: "Prize winners nt eating con tents." The text of this malicious and in sidious effort to mislead the press follows in part: "Two woodchucks, known to Yel lowstone park rnncers ns Tlllle and Gluttony Gert (the quotation marks are those of the press agent), won top honors at a recent test banquet which included everything from 'soup to nuts.' Tlllle consumed three blue berry pies, four largo candy bars, two Kelly rolls, half a dozen sandwiches, and finished with two packages of salted peanuts. Five minutes after completing this bountiful meal jhe was back asking for more." If you have not tired yet, the vtc toua subversive effort continues: " 'Gluttony' Gert did away with y ten flapjacks of no mean size, four I bars of candy, a sack or cookies, and ' topped it off with three hard "boiled eggs to aid digestion. Still not satis fied, she took to nibbling grass when the food gave out." The handout admits that both Tll lle and Gertie lived. No doubt this will be construed as an effort to extend purchasing pow er by encouraging over-cating. The propaganda approach is more direct In another handout from The Fame source, headed: "Animal codes of fair competition." Apparently the animals had not at that time realized they were unconstitutional, but. at any rate, the official propaganda an nouncement says: "Codes of fair competition arc pre cribed in the latest novelty in con tests Initiated In Mount Rainier Park. Washington. Ground squirrels are the contestants. The objective Is to see which can carry the greatest number of peanuts in its checks. "Ordinarily an average ground squirrel, weighing half a pound, has a carrier capacity of 32 half nuts or 16 peanuts. But with their sporting , blood aroused, capacity limit has been extended to more than 50. To 1 date the record holder has stowed .nwav 64 half peanuts and the runner-up 61. Visiting tourists supply the provender." (Note the statistics.) Any casual observer will notice again thc use of the over-consumption philosophy in this indirect ef fort to influence public opinion. To realize the proper scope of It, you mint consider that thousands of cop ies of such stuff are handed out by government press agents daily. The expense of it all is footed by tax pavers. , . Thc material here cited Is not ex actly a fair example of the General run' of handouts, but it affords the opportunity to estimate accurately the value of same.
