Before Mr. John P. Bramhall, trial examiner. Mr. Joseph 0. Fehr for the Commission.

Mr. Henry Junge, of Chicago, Ill., for respondents. Complaint Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and by virtue of the authority vested in it by said act, the Federal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that Disabled American Veterans of the ·world 'Var Rehabilitation Department, a corporation, and Frank J. Mackey, L. C. Maier, Daniel C.l\Ioore; and Robert T. Mackey, individually, and as officers of Disabled American Veterans of the '\Vorld ·war Rehabilitation Department, hereinafter referred to as respondents, have violated the provisions of said act, and is appearing to the Commission that a proceeding by it in respect thereof would be in the public interest, hereby issues its complaint, stating its charges in that respect as follows: PARAGRAPH 1. Respondent, Disabled American Veterans of the World 'Var Rehabilitation Department, is a corporation organized, existing, and doing business by virtue of the laws of the State of Illinois, with its office and principal place of business located at 104: South Michigan Avenue, in the city of Chicago, State of Illinois. Said corporation was formerly 1.-n.own as International Historical Society and was organized under that name on August 9, 1929, by the individual respondents, its name being changed on November 25, 1929, to Disabled Americ11.n Veterans of the '\Vorld 'Var Rehnbilitation. Department.

Respondents Fmnk J. Mackey, L. C. Maier, Daniel C. Moore, and Robert T. Mackey are individuals and are respectively presidentr vice president, secretary-treasurer, and treasurer of the corporate Complaint 33F.T.C.

respondent, with their office and principal place o.f business located at 104 South Michigan Avenue in the city of Chicago, State of Illinois. As such officers of the respondent corporation, they are and have been actively in charge of, and direct and control, and have directed and controlled, the policies and operations of said corporate respondent. The stock in said corporate respondent is wholly owned by respondent Frank J. Mackey.

PAR. 2. Respondents are now, and for several years last past have been, engaged in the publication and in the sale and distribution of books, including among others, two sets of books, one entitled "Progress of Nations," consisting of an 11-volume set of history books; the other consisting of a 2-volume set of history and war picture books, entitled "Forward March." In the course and conduct of their business respondents cause their said books, when sold, to be transported from their said place of business in the State of Illinois to the purchasers thereof located in various other States of the United States and in the District of Columbia. Respondents maintain, and at all times mentioned herein have maintained, a course of trade in their said books in commerce among and between the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia. PAR. 3. In the course and conduct of their business, as aforesaid, respondents are now, and at all times mentioned herein have been, in substantial competition with other corporations and individuals, and with firms and partnerships, engaged in the sale and distribution in commerce among and between the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia of books of an encyclopedic and historical nature.

PAR. 4. Shortly after the conclusion of the Great 'Vorld 'Var, there was organized in the United States a patriotic, unincorporated society known and designated as Disabled American Veterans of the ·world 'Var, to be devoted to the care, welfare, and advancement of the interests of wounded, injured, and disabled American veterans of the ·world 'Var. In the year 1932, there was incorporated pur~ suant to Federal statute a national corporation designated as Disabled American Veterans of the 'Vorld 'Var, the incorporators thereof being members of the unincorporated organization by the same nameJ composed of wounded and disabled soldiers, sailors, and marines of the Great 'Var. The purposes for which said corporation was created, as set forth in its national charter and articles of incorporation, were as follows: to. uphold and maintain the constitution and laws of the United States, to realize the true American ideals and aims for which those eligible to membership had fought; to advance the interests and work for the betterment. of all wounded, DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS tQF THE WORLD WAR, ETC., ET AL. 989 986 Complaint injured, and disabled veterans of the World War; to cooperate with the United States Veterans Administration and all other public and private agencies devoted to the cause of improving and advancing the condition, health, and interests of wounded, injured, or disabled veterans of the 'Vorld War; and to encourage in all people that spirit of understanding which will guard against future wars. Among the corporate powers conferred upon the corporation were the establishment of State and Territorial organizations and local chapters or post organizations and the power to publish a newspaper or other publications devoted to the purposes of the corporation. The organization was to be nonpolitical and nonsectarian. The aforesaid Federal statute provides that said national organization, and its State and local subdivisions, shall have the sole and exclusive right to have and to use in carrying out its purposes the name "Disabled American Veterans of the World War," and said national corporation is required, on or before the first day of January in each year, to make a report to Congress of its proceedings for the preceding calendar year.

PAR. ·5. On or about November 2, 1929, the respondent corporation, Disabled American Veterans of the "\Vorld War Rehabilitation Department entered into an agreement or contract with the Disabled American Veterans of the "\Vorld War under the terms of which said organization was to receive a royalty .of 15 percent on all gross sales of said two sets of oooks by the respondent corporation, said books to be sold under the sponsorship of the said Disabled American Veterans of the "\Vorld "\Var. Subsequently, on or about January 2, 1938, this royalty was by agreement between said parties reduced to and still is 10 percent on all gross sales of said books. PAR. 6. In the course and conduct of their said business, and for the purpose of promoting the sale of said books, respondents have tnade and are tnaking many false, misleading, and d~ceptive statetnents and representations to prospective purchasers of their said books, such statements and representations being made through respondents' salesmen and representatives and by other means. Among and typical of such false, misleading, and deceptive statements and representations are the following:

That respondents' salesmen and representatives are representatives of the organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the 1Vorld "\Var; that respondents' oooks are ·being sold only to certain selected customers; that the organization known as the Disabled Atnerican Veterans of the 'Vorld 1Var receives the entire profit de- ~ive<l from the sale of said books, and that one purchasing such books ls in effect making a contribution to said organization; that the 435526m_.a-..N. aa-AA Complaint 33F.T.C.

funds derived from the sale of said books will be used by said organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the w· orld 1Var to defray the expense of said organization's activities and efforts in combating anti-American and subversive organizations and influences in the United States.

In numerous instances, the fact that books are being sold by respondents is concealed from customers and prospective custom~rs, respondents' proposition as presented by their salesmen and representatives taking the form of a patriotic and emotional appeal addressed to said customers and prospective customers. The Disabled American Veterans of the 'Vorld 1Var is represented as having launched a great legislative and educational campaign against subversive influences and activities in the United States, and prospective purchasers of respondents' books are urged to participate in and contribute to such campaign. Those subscribing to such purported campaign are finally advised that they will receive a set of books, the books being made to appear as incidental, however, to the subscription to such campaign fund.

PAR. 7. The foregoing representations made by and on behalf of respondents are grossly exaggerated, false, and misleading. In truth and in fact, respondents' salesmen and representatives are not representatives of the organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the World 1Var. Said organization does not rec~ive the entire profit derived from the sale of said books, nor does the profit from the sale of said books constitute a contribution to said organization or to any campaign conducted by it. Said books, on the contrary, are sold by respondents as an ordinary commercial transaction for profit to respondents, and the only profit derived by the organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the 1Vorld 1Var from the sale of such books is and has been the respective royalties hereinabove mentioned. The sale of said books is not restricted to any group or number of persons, but said books are sold indiscriminately to the general public.

PAR. 8. A further deceptive and misleading practice employed by respo~dents in promoting the sale of said books consists of the wrongful use by respondents of literature published and circulated by the organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the ·world 1Var. Said literature is represented by the respondents as endorsing said books, when in truth and in fact said literature has no reference to said books, but relates only to the general aims and purposes of said organization.

PAR. 9. The organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the 'Vorld 1Var is now and for many years last past has DISABLED AMERICAN YETERANS OF THE WORLD "WAR, ETC., ET AL. 991 986 Findings been identified in the public mind as a nonprofit organization devoted to the rehabilitation and general welfare of its members, all of whom are disabled veterans of the World War. The use by respondent corporation of the corporate name Disabled American Veterans of the World War Rehabilitation Department constitutes within itself a false and misleading representation that said respondent is identical with or is connected with or is a part of the Disabled American Veterans of the World ·war. The use of said name by respondent corporation serves also to accentuate the other false and misleading representations made by respondents in the sale of their said books. PAR. 10. The use by the respondents of the false and misleading statements and representations in connection with the sale of their said books, as hereinabove set out, has the tendency and capacity to, and does, mislead and deceive a substantial portion of the purchasing public into the erroneous and mistaken belief that such statements and representations are true, and into the purchase of substantial quantities of respondents' said books as a result of such belief. Thereby trade has been diverted unfairly to the respondents from their competitors, many of whom do not make false or misleading representations with respect to their products, and in consequence thereof substantial injury has been done, and is now being done, by respondents to competition in commerce among and between the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia. PAR. 11. The aforesaid acts and practices of respondents as herein alleged are all to the prejudice and injury of the public and of respondents' competitors, and constitute unfair methods of competition in commerce and unfair and deceptive acts and practices in commerce within the intent and meaning of the Federal Trade Commission Act. REPORT, FINDINGS AS TO THE FACTS, AND ORDER Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Federal Trade Commission on the 24th day of April1941, issued and thereafter served its complaint in this proceeding upon respondents Disabled American Veterans of the 'Vorld 'Var Rehabilitation Department, a corporation, and Frank J.

Moore, and Robert T. 1\Iackey, individually, and as officers of Disabled American Veterans of the 'Vorld 'Var Rehabilitation Depart- :rnent, charging them with the use of unfair methods of competition in commerce and unfair and deceptive acts and practices in commerce in violation of the provisions of said act.

Respondents expressly waived the filing of the trial examiner's report upon the evidence. Thereafter, this proceeding came on for final hearing before the Commission on said complaint, answer, evidence and stipulation as to the facts, said stipulation having been approved by the Commission, and the Commission having duly considered the same and being now fully advised in the premises, finds that this proceeding is in the interest of the public and makes its findings as to the facts and its conclusion drawn therefrom.

P.-\R. 4. Shortly after the conclusion of the Great 'Vorld ·war, there was organized in the United States a patriotic, unincorporated society known and designated as Disabled American Vetenms of the \Vorld 'Var, to be devoted to the care, welfare, and advancement of the interests of wounded, injured, and disabled American veterans of the 'Vorld 'Var.

Findings 33F.T.C.

Among the corporate powers conferred upon the corporation were the establishment of State and Territorial organization~ and local chapters or post organizations and the power to publish a newspaper or other publications devoted to the purposes of the corporation. The organization was to be nonpolitical and nonsectarian. The aforesaid Federal statute provides that said national organization, and its State and local subdivisions, shall have the sole and exclusive right to have a,nd to use in carrying out its purposes the name "Disabled American Veterans of the 'Vorld ·war," and said national corporation is required, on or before the first day of January in each year, to make a report to Congress of its proceedings for the preceding calendar year.

PAn. 5.

In consideration of this arrangement the said national organization was to receive royalty of 15 percent on all gross sales of said two sets of books by the respondent corporation, said books to be sold under the sponsorship of the said Disabled American Veterans of the World 'Var. Subsequently, on or about January 2, 1938, this royalty was by agreement between said parties reduced to and still is 10 percent on all gross sales of E>aid books.

PAR. 6. In the course and conduct of their said business and for the purpose of promoting the sale of said books, respondent's salesmen have made statements and representations to prospective purchasers of respondents' said books. Among and typical of such statements and representations were the following:

That respondents' said salesmen and representatives were representatives of the organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the World ·war; that respondents' books were being sold only to certain selected customers; that the organization known !lS the Disabled American Veterans of the World 'Var received the entire profit derived from the sale of said books, and that one purchasing such books was in effect making a contribution to said organization; that the funds derived from the sale of said books would be used by said organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS OF THE WORLD WAR, ETC., ET AL. 995 986 Findings 'World 1Var to defray the expense of said organization's activities and efforts in combating anti-American and subversive organizations and influences in the United States.

In numerous instances, the :fact that books were being sold by respondents was concealed from customers and prospective customers, respondents' proposition as presented by their salesmen and representatives taking the form of a patriotic and emotional appeal addressed to said customers and prospective customers. Some of respondents' salesmen taking advantage of the fact that the Disabled American Veterans of the 'Vorld ·war had launched a great legislative and educational campaign against subversive influences and activities in the United States, urged prospective purchasers of respondents' books to participate in and contribute to such campaign. Those subscribing to such purported campaign were advised that they would receive a set of books, but the receipt by such subscribers of said books was made to appear as only incidental to the subscription to such purported campaign fund.

PAR. 7. The statements and representations thus made by respondents' said salesmen and representatives, as set out in paragraph 6 hereof, were grossly exaggerated, false, and misleading. In truth and in fact, respondents' salesmen and representatives were not representatives of the organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the ·world War. Said organization did not and does not receive the entire profit derived from the sale of respondents' said books, nor has the profit :from the sale of said books ever constituted a contribution to said organization or to any campaign conducted by it. Said books, on the contrary, were sold by respondents' said salesmen and representatives as an ordinary commercial transaction for profit to respondents, and the only profit derived by the organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the ·world 1Var from the sale of such books was and has been the respective royalties hereinabove mentioned. The sale of said books was not restricted to any group or number of persons, but said books were sold indiscriminately to the general public.

PAR. 8. A further deceptive and misleading practice employed by respondents' salesmen and representatives in promoting the sale of respondents' said books consisted of the wrongful use by them of literature published and circulated by the organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the 1Vorld 1Var. Said literature Was represented by respondents' salesmen and representatives as endorsing said books, when in truth and in fact said literature had no refer~nce to said books, but related only to the general aims and purposes of said organization.

PAR. 9. The organization known as the Disabled American Veterans of the ·world War is now and for many years last past has been identified in the public mind as a nonprofit organization devoted to the rehabilitation and general welfare of its members, all of whom are disabled veterans of the \Vorld \Var. The use by respondent corporation of the corporate name Disabled American Veterans of the World \Var Rehabilitation Department constitutes within itself a false and misleading representation that said respondent is identical with or is connected with or is a part of the Disabled American Vet~ erans of the ·world \Var. The use of said name by respondent corporation serves also to accentuate the other false and misleading representations made by respondents' salesmen and representatives in connection with the sale of respondents' aforesaid books. PAR. 10. The use by the respondents of the false and misleading statements and representations in connection with the sale of their said books, as hereinabove set out, has the tendency and capacity to, and does, mislead and deceive a substantial portion of the purchasing public into the erroneous and mistaken belief that such statements and representations are true, and into the purchase of substantial quantities of respondents' said books as a result of such belief. Thereby trade has been diverted unfairly to the respondents from their competitors, and in consequence thereof subst~ntial injury has been done, and is now being done to competition in commerce among and between the. various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia.
