Crisis 10 Cut Book Size,
Printing Craft Is Told
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 13.-American
publications year from now are
likely to be smaller with fewer and
lighter pages. Harry M. Sachs, gen.
eral chairman, told the convention
of the international Association of
Printing House Craftsmen yester-
day.
Use of paper in national defense
industries has increased tremen-
dously and is likely to increase still
more, while the production capacity
has remained the same" Mr.. Sachs
said, adding that "at present paper
mills are far behind in orders"
He said it was very unlikely that
American newspapers would suffer
such drastic reductions as English
papers, because the country has a
large reserve of Northern forests
and the Southern paper industry is
increasing.
