Of state expenditures by function

Mr.. Atkins continued, state gov
eminent expenditures from current
revenues rose more than 90% from
$35 million to S66B millions. The
increase resulted from an expan-
sion of the ordinary recurring ae-

new services and capital improve

10 Per Cent Cut Of U.S. Civilian Army is Demanded
Newsprint Price
10 Be Raised

WASHINGTON. July 22-(R
49, In a joint u S Canadian ac-
tioa, the ceiling price on stand
ard newsprint will be raised 81
a ton on September / and
other grades by similar amounts
-- in a move aimed at meeting
higher costs Of wood procure
ment.
Plans for the new ceilings
were announced last night by
the Office of Price Administra-
ton (OPA) and the Canadian
Price Board, following confer
ences in Washington and Mon
treal with newspaper publishers
and newsprint manufacturers.
Price Administrator Prentiss
Brown said that number of
newsprint mills In both coun-
tries have been operating at
loss and that OPA was charged
with the job of adjusting prices
upwards or downwards, as will
be generally fair and equitable.
For standard newsprint, the
boost will bring the ceiling port
price to $50 a ton, side-run
10 $50 and super standard to
$3.50.

anisms rather than by manda-
tory orders. In other words, it
is expected to set up price re-
lationships which would make
it financially profitable for the
industry to do the thing that the
government wants.
A program of price incentives
might involve boosts in prices
of some commodities, but not
necessarily in the prices that
consumers pay, Subsidies would
be used in some cases 10 offset
the increases.
Jones has indicated already
that he hopes TO give the food
industry greater responsibility
in solving processing and dis
tributing problems. The meat
industry soon will be placed UNI
der a licensing system which
will shift back TO packers and
staughterers much of the JOB Of
dividing short supplies among
various claimant groups.

WASHINGTON, July PIP
- The Army, seeking poultry
which II has been unable to buy
at price ceilings, and the Office
of Price Administration (OPA),
striving to break up black mar
ket operations in the Delmarva
area, the East's largest produc-
er, watched the highways today,
ready TO requisition any sup
plies that showed up.
The first requisition was made
yesterday near Dover. Del,
where state police, accompanied
by OPA inspectors, stoppe d
poultry trucks The Army, which
made the actual requisition, re-
ceived its authority from the
War Food Administration, act
ing under the Second War Pow

Requlsitioning followed six
months investigation by OPA in
spectors in the Delmarva area
which includes parts OF Della
ware, Maryland and Virginia,
and which resulted in 40 indict-
ments alleging black farket OPP
erations.
OPA estimated weekly ship
ments of poultry from the Del
marva area at 100000 pounds,
but said the Army had been able
10 obtain only a fraction of its
weekly requirements of 1000
900 pounds at the ceiling price,

The Army is paying % 2
cents for requisitioned poultry
The higher price results from

government, plus - cent for

M. Brown said OPA moved into
the Delmarva area because we
are determined TO put an end TO
black market operations effect
ing important consuming ceuters
such as New York City, and we
are going TO see that the Army,
buying at ceiling prices, obtains
food our fighting men need.
