Yesterdays primaries leave un-
changed the forecast of those republi-
can leaders in Washington who have
maintained that the republican national
convention when 1t meets will not be
committed to any man in advance. and
that opportunity will be afforded the
great bulk of the delegate body. which
will be uninstructed, to decide from
among the candidates on a man who
can possibly be elected in November.
Such has been the aim OF many of
the most influential men in the party,
who for the purpose of convenient
classification are generally referred to
as the old-line leaders. although they
include men of progressive sympathies
as well as recognized standpaters.
In essential details, as well as in gen.
eral objective, yesterdays primaries
ran true to form, as they view them.
They noted today Alat Massachusetts,

deliver the vote of the state for the

VIENNA, April p (by the associat-
ed Press).-Minor anti semitic DEM
onstrations occurred here late yester-
day when students of the university
raided and demolished the Jewish uni
versity kitchen and visited the ana
tomical clinic and beat both male and
female students. The demonstrators
later gathered before the residences
of two of the professors. Attempts
to enter the Jewish quarter were pre-
vented by the police.
The anti-Jewish disturbances fol-
lowed the appearance of posters over
the city Sunday night and are believed
to have been due to the failure Of the
government to enforce the DEGREES
for the expulsion of the eastern Jews,
which incensed the students.

Doubt that the government will be
lieving the print paper shortage was
expressed today by Frank p. Glass of
Birmingham. Ala. former president of
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association.
Mr.. Glass was one of the first wit
nesses before the Senate commerce
committee. which is investigating the
print paper shortage. He explained
that the shortage Of news print was
world wide.
Congress attempting to reduce con-
sumption by limiting the size of
publications admitted to the mail, Mr..
Glass said he doubted the Justice and
feasibility" Of such an undertaking.
Present Prices Excessive.
While conceding that the cost of
labor and all materials going into the
making of paper have Increased. Mr..
Glass declared that he thought pres
ent prices excessive and that the
manufacturers were making high
profits"
Senator Reed. subcommittee chair
man, announced the investigation
would deal with the production and
consumption Of news print, manufac-

Samuel NJ. Williams of the New
York World, the first witness, said
the Worlds ownership of paper mills
placed il in different position from
newspapers generally" and that ac-
cordingly he had mo suggestions or
complaints to make" His inability to
and
featuring costs led Senator Reed to
remark that such comparison was
going to be fundamental in this in
quiry." Although Canadian mills are
being enlarged and some American
mills have increased their product of
news print, Mr.. Williams said that,
present consumption exceeded this in
crease.
Mr.. Glass Is Heard.
Mr.. Glass said he doubted the.
Justice or feasibility" of attempting
to limit the size of publications. He
added that he doubted whether the
government could do very much for
relieve the situation" explaining that
the shortage of news print was
worldwide.
