the shortage Of newsprint, the Pitts.
burgh Dispatch appeared today with
eighty six condensed news items and n
reading notice Of its prcdcament on the
first page. u is believed to be- the
largest number Of items ever published
on the first page Of Il large daily news

Virtually every item in the paper was
boiled to the, bone" and full advcr
tising space was given only to those
having contracts. Other advertisements
were either refused or accepted after
being reduced. This is the second Pitts
burgh morning newspaper to be caught
by the newsprint shortage to such al
extent that radical curtailment OF nd

U.S.. WOULD LIFT BAN
TO EXPOSE SOVIETS

Washington. March 23.-rhe removal
n all restrictions. in so far as trading
with Russia is concerned. has been sug
rpstrd by this government as a solution
n the Russian problem. it was learned
yesterday. The proposal has been trans
mitted to the Allies. but thus far no
answer has been received. II Is under
stood that It is the position Of this gov
srnment' that its proposal is the only
one which can clear away the fog that
now surrounds the Russian position.
Under the program there would be no
need Of getting licenses or any sort Of
governmental permission. but the trans
actions would be entirely at the risk OF
tho persons involved.
Reports from Riga that the approval
Of this government to carry on the trade
was all that was needed to enable the
Baldwin Locomotive Works. of Phila-
delphia. to close u contract for rail
vay equipment With the soviet govern
mpnt were characterized as soviet
prOpaganda1 by officials here.
