General Motors Corp. (GM) is the world's biggest advertiser, spending directly and through its dealers a hundred million dollars a year. Practically every magazine, newspaper and radio and television station in the U.S. depends upon this monster corporation for a considerable part of its income. It is rare when anything but a favorable press is given to any subject affecting the interests of the corporation or its officials. Through its General Motors Acceptance Corp. subsidiary, the world's largest finance company, GM is the largest customer of the banks of the country, borrowing billions from banks in 289 cities.
