i$S885 The iinsinuation regarding this paper is9
5unwarranted and Without .truth, but that. that

That the New Leaders admission re-
garding the worthlessness OF some Of ita5
n new circulation was Forthcoming only
under the prodding OF the News Leader
Il The point we wish to emphasize here Is
IS that the News Leader distinctly states
X that It would not proclaim Instantly Its
i 1000 extra ''circu1atiop" from It's coupon
iSs scheme. the implication being that u
doesn't think that would be right. III III
Now, let lis contrast this assertion Will
