PAPER SHORTAGE
CURBS CAMPAIGN
SPEECH PRINTING
Congressional Committee
Sets. Limit on Copies
Available at 6. r. O.

The joint committee of Congress on
printing has put a ''crimp into cam
paign activities of many members of
the Senate and House-all because it
is so difficult to purchase white paper
ing Office. The committee has issued
an order that limits to $4,000 copies
any. SiXteen-page speech which the
members may desire to use during the
political campaign. If the speech de-
sired covers fewer or more pages than
sixteen, the number that may be or
dered will be fixed in the same ratio
for instance. 100000 copies of four
page speech.
In the good old days, before the
print paper shortage, it was not un-
common for an order to go into the
government printing office for halt
million or even a million copies of
speech to be used for campaign pur-
poses. This is all over-at least for
the time being. If a member of Con-
gress, or one of the various campaign
committees. desires half million
copies of a speech made by senator
or representative to be used in the
campaign, The, or the committee, must
get it printed outside the government
printing office, in a private print shop.

Ine only Spe6C-leS WHICH may De

made a part of the Congressiona

United States has made an important

DR.. SIMON EXPLAINS
DISTRICT SCHOOL NEEDS
Tells Central Labor Union $1O,OOO,-
, 600 Building Fund Should Be
Established.

Needs of the District schools in in
creased housing facilities for pupils
and the urgency for appropriations to
provide these accommodations were
explained to delegates of the Central
Labor Union last night by DR.. Abram
Simon, president of the board of edu-
cation. In a short address.
DR.. Simon declared that the citizens
Of the District should present united
front in reinforcing the appeals of the
board Of education in the annual es
Inmates before Congress, saying that
lack of this unity has been cause of
possible limitations during the past.
He asked that in the future when
Congress was considering measures
for relief of. the District schools the
citizens should evince the interest at
tendant upon such action.
He named $10.000.000 as building
fund for the ensuing year, and sug-
gested that this be held intact for
school purposes, to be increased by at
least $1.000,000 each year until con-
gestion was eliminated and the schools
were keeping pace in facilities with
the normal growth of the city.
He pointed out that at present
$4,000 children were in schools whose
total capacity was for $4,000 children
without crowding.
