Shortage Of Paper
Believed Averied
As Output Rises
Lower Consumption
Expected for Rest Of
Current Year
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-A poten-
tial shortage of paper has been
averted. trade circles said today,
but 1t will be necessary to avoid
forced curtailment of mill activity
or shipping difficulties to prevent
shortage.
These sources foresaw a lower
consumption of paper over the bal
ance of the year, which would allow
operators gradually to overcome
backlogs.
Meantime production has IN
creased materially. The American
Paper g. Pulp Association reported
paper mill activity moved TO an all
time high for the week ended Au-
gust %, as production volume ex-
panded to 1923 per cent Of estimated
six-day capacity. On August 80 the
rate was 1919.
Last April demand for all paper
reached 118 per cent of industry
capacity, while operations averaged
96.4 per cent. Since then demand
has slowly declined while output
has risen.
Some apprehension was felt in
the paperboard industry, however,
and moves were made this week to
alleviate an admitted shortage of
the raw material used In paper
board manufacture,
Campaign Launched.
A campaign, similar to the alumni
mum drive, to increase collection of
waste paper for use as raw material
was launched in New York, Chicago
and Milwaukee and eventually will
be conducted in 33 cities by waste
paper dealers in cooperation with
the Office of Price Administration
and the Once of Production Man
agement.

because it is the raw material of
paper board boxes in which many
defense products are packed and

uses one-fourth of the paper board
now produced. Total production this
year is expected to exceed 5000 900
tons"
1t was estimated 72 per cent of old
paper was discarded and housewives,
small business houses and industries
have been asked to save paper and
give it to charitable organizations or
| sell it to dealers at the current mar
ket price.
The industry faces the problem
of reducing use of chlorine-yital

facture of paper. At present re-
duction has been placed at some 4C
per cent.
Chlorine to Be Restricted.
Restriction of the use OF chlorine

Total production Of pulp would
not be affected, however, because
the bleaching process follows all
other processes in the manufactur-

be reduced.
The defense program calls for the
consumption of paper and paper
