NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The Amer

Board had asked the l25 largest

An amendment to the newsprint
conservation order limits inventories

Northeastern States and 65 days
supply in the remainder of the Ma
ton. Usage is to be based on
average daily consumption in the
first half of 1943, less 10 per cent,
to give effect to the additional cut
since put in effect.

Flanagan Pledges
Careful Examination
OF Taxi Stand Cuts

Chairman James H. Flanagan of
the Public Utilities Commission to-
day promised an informal meeting
OF representatives of the taxicab
industry that future elimination of
taxi stands would be studied on
their own merits"
Mr.. Flanagan said the meeting
had been called because of the num-
Der of complaints that spaces re-
served for taxis were seldom used.
He said that stands have been elimi-
mated from time to time and the
question had arisen again whether
other stands should be abolished in
the future.
From John H. Royer. president of
Combined Cabs Service, came two
specific suggestions:
That cab stands in outlying dis
tricts be reduced in some cases, but
that the call boxes be retained to
permit expansion after the war.
That in the downtown area real
loading spaces be allocated. where
starters would be put on duty to
announce the zone for which de-
parting cabs are headed.
Mr. Flanagan told Mr.. Rover to
submit specific suggestions for such
loading places. Mr.. Royer said
that any taXicab would be welcome
to use the locations and that the
Combined Cab Service would bear
the cost.
Edwin E. Glenn of the United
Cab Drivers, CIO, charged that
many of the spaces set aside for
taXicabs are occupied by War De-
partment vehicles and the public,
about which the Police Depart
ment does nothing"
A recent check by the Lafayette
Building. opposite the Veterans Ad-
miniStration in Vermont avenue,
showed that the stand was occupied
by War Department vehicles COM
pletely on l6 occasions in one day
This meant. Mr.. Glenn said. that

Further Expansion

creases in the size of the armed
services, we were faced with a
choice of forcing more efficiency
into our primary war industries or
having to cut back or cancel pro-
grams for the construction of de-
Sirable but less necessary war goods
and essential civilian goods.
Asks Better Record.
For these reasons, the commit
tee has been privately insisting that
many plants turn in a better record
and has been alarmed at the ten
dency of the procurement agencies
to assume that inefficiency was a
necessary evil, and that the only
way to treat the matter was to de-
clare various cities to be critical
labor areas and prevent the is
surance of further contracts in such
areas.
Dallas, Tex, presents a typical
situation in which the area was de-
clared to be critical, solely because
the North American Aviation plant
near Dallas said that it would re-
quire many thousands of additional
employees. The committee conducted
private investigation at Dallas
through it's subcommitte on avia-
ton, which took more than 1000
pages of testimony from approx
mately $50 witnesses, and turned
the record over to Mr.. Charles E
Wilson, vice chairman of the WPB
and rightly regarded as one of the
Nations foremost production ex-
perts.
Mr.. Wilson has informed the
committee that the estimated man.
power requirements of the North
American Aviation plant at Dallas
has been reduced by approximately
10000 workers and as consequence
it will need to hire only minimum
of employees until January, 1914

Lighter Paper
Use to Be Studied

An advisory committee OF news
print paper manufacturers will be
appointed to study the possibility of
| making lighter weight paper for
newspapers, the War Production
Board announced yesterday.
Rex w. Hovey. director of the
WPB paper division. said the COM
mittee will consider numerous
manufacturing and cost problems
involved in producing lighter news
print.
, Mr.. Hovey said any substantial
reduction in weight might necessi-
tate the slowing of paper-making
machines and presses, and that
careful investigation should be
made to see that the lighter paper
is sufficiently opaque for printing
purposes.
The problem is primarily a Ca
madam one, Mr.. Hovey said, since
more than 10 per cent of the Amer
lcan neWsprint supply comes from
Canada, and lower weights will in
volve changes in present tariff def
nitons of newsprint paper. There is
nothing to prevent Newspaper pub
fishers, however. from ordering
lighter paper from United States
producers, he said.
