manifested here at the report of the

COST OF PAPER CUTS
 DOWN NEWSPAPER PROFITS
Crisis Will Not Be Reached Until Late
 in October


 Washington, Aug. 10.-The crisis in the news print paper situation which already has cut down newspaper prof it's enormously, will not be reached till late October, when contracts come up for renewal, according to reports received from many sources by the federal trade commission. The presi- dentiaI elections together wit hthe Eu- ropean war is expected to increase an already unparalleled demand for news print, which manufacturers tell the trade commission they will hardly be able to meet. This year for the first time they have not been able to lay up a. large reserve during the summer.
 The trade commissions report on it's investigation of news print prices, it was announced today would be pub lished not later than Oct. 1, regardless of whether congress still is in session. Probably a brief extract will be given out two weeks before hand summariz- ing the findings. As yet the mass of material has not been sufficiently di- gested for officials to indicate definite ly it's trend.
