Nations Leading Editors Say Newspapers Are Daily Facing Change.
(By The Associated Pressl

(By The Associated preSsl
 WASHINGTON, D. C., May The newspapers of tomorrow, in the opinion of the men who make them, win be more individual istic. interpretive, self contained, less admonitory, and have more and better pictures, diagrams & charts to tell the news. The use of color will spread, too, accord ing to a symposium taken at the convention of American Society of Newspaper Editors.
 The survey showed that the majority of the editors believe that the press is in state of, evo- lutionary Aux. The convention is to follow up the picture mat service for the public.
 The nations editors said that that public wants greater intel- lectual leadership. It wants the news columns not only to tell what happened, but to give the background. Much of the news of today is like serial story, but it is presented too often without a synopsis. The editors agreed that 50 per cent of the news space should be devoted to pictures.
 That would mean that the front page, which is devoted to sensational news today, may be replaced by sensational news pic lures tomorrow.
