Mas 10 File Bill
For Open Hearings
On Newsprint Quotas
BY the Associated Press.

of the hSoOClateQ FIeS6.
Representative Mas, Republican.
of Minnesota disclosed today he IN
tends to try to back up with re-
strictive legislation his assertions
that the War Production Board
threatens "the freedom Of the press"
by its handling Of newsprint quotas.
Mr. Mas told the House yester-
day that WPB, which has ordered
Snew reduction in newsprint for
the present quarter ranging up to S
per cent for the larger newspapers,
was:
!. Using control Of production "for
censorship"
2. Favoring some publishers over
others.
3. Operating with no rules, or
standards, and ''in star chamber
proceedings" issuing secret orders
from which there is no appeal"
( Would Air Decisions.
Mr. Mas said he was preparing
sbill that would require the WPB
to- make all its decisions public, in
the case of each newspaper or
magazine publication requesting
additional white paper, how much
tine was required handling the case,
why the delay, If any, and the en-
tire proceedings would be submitted
to Congress each month.
The report also would include de-
tails of appeals from the WIPES
printing division, and why they were
granted or denied.
This procedure will assure to the
people that under the guise of ra-
tioning 1essened supply of paper

will not be abused now Or In the
future nor used to subverstvely gain
control Of the press Of this country"
said Mr.. Mas. with free press,
we will always be free people"
Mr.. Mass said q magazine want
ed to publish an article on "the
lack OF unity of command and fall
ure to have adequate air support" in
the Pacific and declared the pub
lshers were advised that the ar
ticle was looked upon with great
disfavor and that pressure from
above would undoubtedly result in
WPB's denying them sufiicient pa
per to continue If the issue appeared
on the stands with this article"
Says Article Was Deleted.
Mr.. Mas did not say who issued
the warning. but said that after the
publishers deleted the article they
were given a paper allotment.
Mr.. Mas said he had a personal
experience with WPB's handling of
white paper allotments. He told the
House an of1icer who served in the
South Pacific signed a contract to
write a book about the Pacific. The
publisher was told by a WPB ofacial
that he could have no paper for
any such purpose" Mr.. Mas, who
later told reporters he was the Of
ficer, served with the Marine Corps
in the World War and was on active
duty as marine lieutenant colonel
for time In this conflict.
1T is apparent that these bureau
Gratis are seeking to dominate what
Is published by controlling the al
lotment of white paper" he asserted.
Mr.. Mas charged that bureau
Gratis" in the WPB allowed appeals
from curtailed newsprint directives
on the basis Of hardship" then
failed to define hardship or set up
formula. They also refused, he said,
to explain the basis on which ap-
peals were granted or denied. Thus
he said book that would be OBJ
jectionable to the administration in
Evening star., 1943-07-07

grant or deny newspapers such
amounts of paper was too great an
authority to be left to the whim OF
one man or organization"
"A specific formula must be
worked out to determine which
newspapers get extra newsprint and
how much," he declared.
otherwise, freedom OF the press
itself is in danger"

Small Denomination Tax
Notes Are Abolished
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury abolished last night
small denomination tax notes, be-
cause most of the normal purchasers
will have their needs served by the
new pay-as-you-go tax law.
Besides disseminating the sale Of
what are technically known as series
A Treasury tax savings notes, the
Treasury also authorized owners of
such notes to turn them in for cash,
If they desire.
The notes will be cashed with the
same interest accrual that would
have been allowed if the securities
had been used for their original pur-
pose OF paying taxes. Formerly. to
discourage cashing of the notes. the
Treasury refused to pay interest
unless they were used for tax pay
ment.
Approximately 1902 900 900 OF the
series A notes are neld now by Amer
ican investors. but officials could
not estimate how many will be
turned in for cash. because many
purchasers will still need their notes
to pay taxes.

mentioned the matter of drainage
of oil from the Nays holdings.
OF the contract, he said, II felt
and still do that this was a salts

problem" He hoped, he said, to
have opportunity to discuss the
whole matter in more detail with
the committees.
The contract was negotiated for
the Navy, he said under the di-
rection OF Rear Admiral H. A.
Stuart, who has given a lifetime
of distinguished service to the Navy
and more than 20 years of con-
scientious, able and devoted effort
to the protection OF our oil re-

Il can assure you" Mr.. Knox
continued that there Is not a
shadow Of suspicion in my mind
regarding the probity and good
faith of any one connected with
this transaction either on behalf
of the Navy or the company. The
latter has been most cooperative
and it is we'll to bear in mind that
the agreement, which is being ter
