REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White Howse. 

Sm: This is a report on a proposed amendment to the Code of 

Fair Competition for the Daily Newspaper Publishing Business, 

approved Code No. 288. 

Article VI, Section 2 of the Code now provides for the designation 

of Code Authority members and the Chairman thereof by certain 

newspaper associations. It is proposed in the amendment to the 

Code submitted herewith to modify only the provision relating to 

designations by the American Newspaper Publishers' Association by 

striking out the following clause: " 0£ whom_ its President shall be 

one," and also the final sentence: " The President o:f the American 

Newspaper Publishers' Association shall be the Chairman o:f the 

Code Authority." 

This modification was suggested in the first instance by the American Newspaper Publishers' Association, so that the status o:f Code 

Authority membership and Chairmanship would not be affected by 

changes in the Association presidency. 

The amendment having been duly approved by the Code Authority 

was thereupon submitted to all publisher members o:f the Code for 

their consent, as required by Article VII o:f the Code. This referendum resulted as :follows: 

For the Amendment_ ________________________________ 594 votes 

Against the Amendment______________________________ 4 votes 

A Notice of Opportunity to be Heard has been issued as o:f the 

day the Order approving the amendment was signed, and the Order 

approving the amendment will become effective twenty days from 

the date thereof unless good cause to the contrary is shown and a 

subsequent order issued by the Board to that effect. The Division Administrator, in his final report on the am ndment 

to the Code, having :found as herein set forth, and on the ba i o:f all 

the proceedings on this matter : 

We find that: 

(a) Amendment to said Code is well de ·igned to promote the polici and puq o of Title I of the National Indu trial R v ry Act, 

including the removal of ob tru tions to th fr e flow o:f int r tate 

and foreign commerc which tend to dirnini h th amount th reof,

agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by 

reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of 

labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation 

subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

(cl) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or m-onopolistic practices. 

( e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to 

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

For the above reasons the amendment has been approved.
