In June 1939, President Roosevelt appointed Leland Olds to the FPC, who served as chairman from January 1940 until 1949.
In 1930/’31 he served as the “manager” of the American lecture tour of the famed Irish poet and cooperative propagandist Æ (George Russell).

Robert Caro's book Master of the Senate describes how Lyndon B. Johnson defeated Old's re-appointment by orchestrating a smear campaign to accuse Olds of Communist sympathies.
