Small Newspaper
Publishers to Be Cared For
by Federal Trade Body

Washington, d. c., Dec. 21.-Mem-
bers of the Federal Trade Commits
sion said yesterday that at least a
week would elapse before complete
answers were received to inquiries sent
out to ascertain if an actual news-print
paper shortage exists. When the in
formation is returned paper manu-
facturers, jobbers and newspaper pub
fishers will be called for final confer
ence to discuss a distribution plan pro-
posed by manufacturers to insure
small publishers proper paper supply.
Some trade commission officials who
have spent months on the investigation
of the paper situation believe that
panic among publishers who feared
their wants would not be supplied con.
tributed to the high prices charged
small publishers buying their paper in
the open market.
Manufacturers now have agreed to
sell to small publishers at the average
contract price charged large publish
ers, and both publishers and members
of the commission believe this price
would not be increased if it developed
that no shortage existed and distri-
button by the trade commission was
necessary.
