PROBER DEFIANT
Throws Down Gauntlet to
Paper Trust.
Determined to Find Relief for
News Publishers.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Commission-
er Davies made it clear at the start
of today's hearing on the news print
paper question that the commission
was determined to find some relief
for publishers. He said the commits
sion in the very immediate future
would decide if the distribution plan
were feasible. If it did not prove
practicable and the commission could
find no other measures of relief, he
said, other agencies of the government
would be given the facts uncovered by
the commission A report will be made
to congress on the whole situation
soon.
Publishers who testified today were
asked by the commission for sugges-
tions as to solution of the situation.
representative Cramton of Michigan
proposed that if it We're not uncon-
stitutional the commission take into
it's own hands the matter of price and
distribution.
When a com mbination he said, could
control public commodity, some pub
lie authority should have the power
to see that justice be done. If the
federal trade commission did not have
enough power to meet the situation he
