Publishers Are Urqed
To Conserve Stocks

The Government yesterday warned
American publishers that at is i'm
possible to predict" what future sup
plies Of printing and publishing ma
terials will be and urged that every
effort be made to conserve stocks.
George Renard, acting chief Of
the War Production Board printing
and publishing branch. said that al
though no shortage exists yet in
black ink, color inks probably will
soon have to be restricted by about
Is per cent.
He said the present flow Of news
print coming from United States
and Canadian mills indicates q suf-
ficient supply for ordinary future
needs, but he warned that priori-
ties regulations forbid the building
Of inventories above q practicable
working minimum"
Mr.. Renard emphasized that no
improvement in the supply of rub
ber for tires is expected and rec
commended all possible conservation
of tires in making deliveries. In
addition to rubber, he reminded the
publishers of shortages existing In
iron, steel, lead. zinc and certain
chemicals used in their field.
He urged publishers to follow q
general rule in conserving critical
materials to the limit and using sub
stitutes wherever possible.

WASHINGTON. April 20.--Ad-
leaders in Congress
today hoped to win postponement
of threatened free-for-all battle
over labor legislation to give
President Roosevelt time to work |
out an anti-infiation program
which may include price freezing
and sterilization of wages.
The issue was before the Senate,
which convened for business after
an informal two weeks recess,
under an agreement TO permit
Senator Tom Connally CD oil
Texas to move for consideration
of his bill authorizing the Presi-|
dent to seize strike-bound plants
PLAN TO FORCE VOTE
Sponsors of suspension of the
40-hour week, banning of the
closed shop in war industries and
other labor amendments planned
to use the Connally measure as a|
vehicle to force a vote on these
proposals.
Two courses were open to Sem
ate leaders in seeking to avoid the
battle. One was to persuade Com
nally to postpone his motion for
at least 10 days. The second was
to attempt to beat the motion.
Administration leaders appeared
confidept that a showndown could
be avoided even though debate ~
started.
ROOSEVELT PLANS TALK
Mr.. Roosevelt, according to con-
gressional. sources. plans to address
the nation on the subject Of infIa~
ton and may also lay a progr1nl
before Congress in a special
message.
