Waste in 'barraqe'
OF Federal Publicity
Protested by Reed
Konsus Editors Throw
Most in Wustebusket,
He Writes Tydinss
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Reed, Republican, of
Kansas said yesterday that tire
mendous barrage" of publicity, Is
sued from Government agencies
here and elsewhere, Is reaching
desks of Kansas newspaper editors
and mostsof 1t is being thrown into
their wastebaskets.
He added. however, In a letter to
Senator Tydings, Democrat. of
Maryland, that some releases re-
ceived were of great value and in
terest" and were used widely. Sen
ator Tydings is studying the ''infor-
nation division" services of the
Government.
The Kansas Republican Senator,
himself q newspaper publisher at
Parsons, Kans., wrote Senator Tyd-
hcity and that Is daily newspapers
and 20 weekly newspapers in Kansas
co-operated in sending him data on
receipt of Government releases dur
ing the week of March 8 to IA.
Figured in Pounds.
The 16 daily newspapers reported
receiving an average of 81 pounds
of governmental publicity matter
during the week, Senator Reed said,
and the 20 weekly papers an average
Of 1873 ounces. Applying these
figures to the entire daily and
weekly press in Kansas, he said it
can be calculated that during the
week 11o pounds of material was
sent to daily papers in the State and
S94 pounds to weekly papers.
He estimated that on the basis
OF Kansas figures, all daily papers
In the United States would receive
10000 pounds a year and weekly
papers 513,240 pounds or a grand
total of 6s2,7S4 pounds.
Most Goes to Wastebasket.
eff they (the editors) found use
for all Of 1t, or even substantial part
of it." Senator Reed told Senator
Tydings, "the tremendous amount
Of paper, ink, other supplies, mail
ing costs and labor, would not be
accepted as waste. From the testi-
mony OF editors themselves, how
ever, all but an inflnitesimal amount
Of the releases find their way into
the wastebasket promptly upon re-
ceipt."
Several editors, Senator Reed
continued, said they used the back
of the paper on which the releases
were written for their copy paper.
Another phase Of this question
to which I would like to call atten-
tion." said Senator Reed, ARE
wasteful mailing practices that
brought caustic comment from
many editors"
Dupncations were found by some
editors In releases sent them, said
Senator Reed. Other releases, of
sectional interest only, are sent to
Kansas and cannot be used. he
said.

Reports of landings by Japanese
forces at Akyab, on Burma's upper
west coast, indicate that the war has
come a long step nearer to India's
doorstep. Akyab Is less than 100
miles from the nearest point In the
Indian province of Chittagong, and
only $50 miles by air southeast Of
the important seaport of Calcutta.
Lying on a small island at the
mouth Of the Kaladan River on
Burma's Arakan coast, Akyab Is
almost divorced from contact with
interior Burma by the Arakan Yoma
Mountain range. A railroad to con-
meet Akyab with Minbu on the IRA
waddy River north of Prone by way
Of the An Pass has been considered
by British engineers because of the
need for such a line to Burma's oil
fields, but was rejected as too difi-
cult and costly.

Farm State Senators Up in Arms Over Substi-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Rubber Administrator William Jeffers told Farm State Senators, We have gambled too damn long" already on the rubber situation, in defending the WIPE order to substitute rayon for cotton in heavy tire manufac- ture.
 Despite a bombardment of ques- tions by members of the Agricul- tural Committee, most of whom are critical of the change, Jeffers de- clared that if "the rayon did a better job" than cotton then I'm for rayon. So far as I'm concerned, I'm not influenced by anybody or anyone"
 Senator McKellar contended that seven of the nine members of the WIPE advisory board which recom- mended substitutions were tir e manufacturers and others inter- ested in rayon.
 Jeffers said he did not know whether or not that was correct, but I'm assuming in War you can trust Americans"

There are for example cotton spindles operated by State prisons capable of turning out 20000,000 yards of 51a-ounce fabric a year. Jute, no longer available from India, is being replaced by osnaburg cloth fabricated from cotton grown on prison farms in the south. This is turned into camouflage cloth and sand bags. Vegetables and fruits from thousands of acres of prison farms are being canned in prison canneries. Maverick can reel off all the figures, but he likes to talk most about what all this is doing to prison morale. One of his favorite stories is about a young man serving a life sentence in Georgia prison.
 It's the young fellows first stretch. Almost the first day of his sentence, he went berserk Within a few weeks, he had drawn every kind of punishment the prison could mete out. He was a bad one and con-  sidered almost incurable. When Pearl Harbor came he was doing a long stretch in solitary confinement.
 He heard the news and asked to be taken to the warden. He pleaded. The interview was finally granted He asked to be put to work on war materials. The warden couldn't be- lieve his ears, but he gave the fellow a chance. For nearly ten months, the young man has been model prisoner.
 This, says Maverick, is one of hundreds of such cases that have been called to his attention. Hes convinced that there is no group anywhere more eager to do their part in licking the Axis than the men in stir

 Hits German Bases
 Moscow, July 10 = (U.P.) - The Red air force today reported series of successful raids against German bases in Finland and Norway, from which enemy airplanes had been at tacking Allied conveys to Mur- mansk.
 The Russian bomber squadron alone reported destruction of 30 grounded German lighter and bomb- CT planes and the damaging of 21 others. Hangars and bomb depots were set ablaze by the Russian planes, all of which returned safely.
 (The Soviet air onslaught appar- ehtly was designed to reduce the danger of American and British convoy moving through the Arctic with vital supplies for the Red army. The Germans recently had claimed that 35 out of 388 allied merchants ships and an American destroyer were sunk on this route, Soviet dispatches said that a Rus sian submarine had torpedoed and seriously damaged the Nazi battle ship Tirpitz, thus saving an allied convoy from attack by the Tirpitz, three cruisers and eight destroyers)
 Mounting air and naval action Is centering in the region of Murman- ski" the Soviet dispatches said.
 From bases in North Finland and Norway, the Luftwaffe has been maintaining a constant threat to Soviet communications and regu- larily making sorties over Mtlrmansk and other cities.
 "In the past five days, the Soviet air force undertook series of suc- cessful raids on these bases. The bomber Squardron alone reported destruction of 30 grounded enemy fighters and bombers. Twenty-seven others were damaged. Hangars and 8 bomb depot were set ablaze."

 Connecticut fell short of its June quota of $17,381 900, reporting total collections of $16,284, 900 to rank twelfth in the nation in the amount of actual sales.
