ROGERS ADVISES REDUCTION IN
SIZE OF PAPER

The bulky newspaper drew slam
from one of the biggest opponents of
trust pressism yesterday. HopeweH
Rogers, business manager Of the
Daily News, said the solution to the
paper shortage was for big publish
ers to cut the size of their papers.
THE publishers have it in their
power to bring conditions back to
normal by reducing the size of the
paper they print. This will result in
the saving of many thousands of
tons of paper" said Rogers before
