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.
