Make Newspriint
Out OF Gumwood

MADISON. WL-Discovery of a
possible means of utilizing the
south's great supply of gumwood
in manufacture of semi-chemical
pulp for newsprint was announced
today by the United States forest
products laboratory.
C. p. Winslow. director of the
laboratory which operates under
the forest service, U. S. depart
ment Of, agriculture. outlined the
method by which the laboratory
has been able TO make newsprint
paper equal to the average COM
mercial newsprint" by mixing I'M
bleached semi-ehemical pulp from
southern gumwood with ground
wood pulp from southern pine.
Results of the laborator's re-
search were especially significant
because gum and other hardwoods
epesnt about half the stand Of
southen forests and because cost
of semi-ehemical pulp Is appreci-
ably lower than that Of either sui
fife or semi bleaehed kraft pulp
being used now in newsprint
manufacture.

Sen. Hiram w. Johnson, r..
Calf, isolationist and ranking
minority member of the senate

liked the idea of sending Welles on
such q mission. I'VE ought to
mind our own business" he said.
Democratic members of the
foreign relations committee ap-
proved the action. Sen. Ebert ID.
Thomas, D., Utah, said: I'm very
much in favor of any kind Of ar
rangement that will give us first
hand, authentic information in the
quickest way possible"
Sen. Robert f. Wagner, D., n.
Y, a member of the foreign rela-
tons committee, praised the
Welles mission as an excellent
idea" President Roosevelt is ap-
pointing an official who has an
unusual knowledge and experience
in foreign affairs, Wagner said
His designation will furnish the
president with an invaluable ad-
visor on European developments"
Sen. Rush ID. Holt, d. w. Va,
charged that Roosevelt's action
paralleled President Wilson's in
terventionist foreign policy" and
resembled the Col. E. M. House
activities during the World war.
President Wilson tried that, too"
Holt said, land without much sue
cess. Mr.. Roosevelt Is taking at

sons foreign policy every day.
Sen. william II. King, D., Utah,
said it was a very wise appoint
ment," and said that he hoped

bilities of separating Mussolini

welded to Stain, and there's no
reason for Hitler and Mussolini
staying together any more"
