 Montgomery, May 29.--(SpeciaL)-At it's next session, regular or extraordinary, the Alabama legislature will be asked to enact new libel laws which will afford protection to the newspaper against per neous suits but at the same time will care for legitimate claims of persons who may have grievances.
 The Alabama Press Association, at it's closing session Friday afternoon, voted unanimously to make this request, and created a committee composed of E. w. Barrett of The Birmingham Age-Herald; !; w. T. Sheehan of the Montgomtry AdVer- tiser and F. H. Miller of the Montgomery Journal to see that bills are drafted which will amend the present libel laws The decision was made after an ad- dress by MT. Barrett in which he declared that the newspapers must have proper protection if they to continue as pub lie journals. He brought out the fact that person who is opposed to news paper because of it's activities in any matter may bring suit in any county in Alabama in which that newspaper happens to have one subscriber. As an il- lustration, he showed that small news paper might have one subscriber in a county far removed from it's place of pub Ication, but that person might bring a suit for libel against the newspaper in the county in which thessingle subscriber resided.
 RECENT SUITS CITED
 Recent libel suits were cited to show how stringent are the libel laws and how

which the association proposes to give it's members.
 The executive committee was di- rected to divide the state into seven subdivisions and each subdivision will have at least two meetings a year in order that the problems which affect any locality may be discussed in time to prevent serious loss to the news papers.
 Another resolution adopted by a great majority called upon the na- tional government to take over the control of newsprnt in the United States until such time as a satisfac- tory supply and satisfactory prices may be obtained. This resolution was offered by Edward Doty, publisher of the Tuscaloosa News, who charged that sixty-three newspapers of the United States are now in control through con tract of all the print paper, in the na- ton and that unless the government takes it over and allocates the supply hundreds of small daily newspapers and weekly newspapers will be forced to suspend. It was stated that some large publishers are paying as low as Az cents a pound for print paper, while other papers are forced to pay as much as IT cents.
 LEAVE FOR SHEFFIELD | Members of the association left late tonight for Sheffield, Florence and Tuscumbia, where they will make an inspection of the government nitrate plants and the work of Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals, which is one of the greatest feats of engineering in the world Special cars were chartered and the train stopped in Birmingham long enough for an entertainment which had been arranged by newspapers and the Civic Association of Birmingham. The final business session at Sheffield will be held during the visit.
 Several subjects of great interest to newspapers were discussed on the last day here. Among them were: Selling Job Printing at a Profit" by Miss Frances Golson of Wetum pka; "The Relation of the Job Department to the Country Newspaper" by William H. H.. Judson of Bessemer and w. F. Me Fartney. of Samson: How to Secure Foreign Advertising by w.. T. Hall of Dothan and E. B. Gather of Ash ville Tabor Shortage in the Print Shop and How to Remedy It." by Thomas G. Wilkinson of Eufaula and George w. Salter of Evergreen; Gre ating a Sentiment for Newspaper Ad- vertising,' by Fowler Duggar of An dalusia and c. H. Allen of Montgom- cry, and The Business Management of a Weekly Newspaper" by Ben 1 Rapport of Carrollton.
 Authority to select the next place of meeting was conferred upon the eX- ecutive committee by the association. Invitations were extended by letter from Albany and Bessemer, while oral invitations were rendered by repre- sentatives of Eufaula and Gadsden, The greatest fight was made by Eu- fau1a, which has not entertained the association for twenty-five years. Three addresses were made urging the acceptance of Eufaula's invitation.
