Newspaper Guild Told
Drastic Newsprint Cut
Is Likely Before IA
Convention Hears WPB
Official Warn Supply
Is 'DwindIins Rapidly
By the Associated Press.

- BOSTON, June 15.-A prediction
that a drastic curtailment in news.
print use may be forced upon Amer
ican newspapers before the end OF
this year was made TODAY by War
rem Morgan, assistant to the asso-
ciate director of the Labor Produc-
tion Division of the WPB in an ad-
dress before the 10th annual Amer
tcan Newspaper Guild convention.
THE newsprint supply is dwin-
ding, and dwindling rapidly" Mr.
Morgan said. THE outlook is none
too good"
He told the 125 delegates that the
previously estimated newsprint re-
quirement for l943 was 1886, ,796
tons; but that the estimated pro-
duction would be only 3,470, 900 tons
At the present rate of consumption
he said, about 100000 tons would
be used, considerably exceeding both
the requirement and supply esti-
mates.
I Newspaper publishers, he added
were allowed to use 100 per cent of
( the 1941 net paid circulation, which
he figured would amount to a 10 per
cent curtailnent in the use of news
print. However, he asserted, ap-
/ proximately 400 newspapers had ap-
pealed to the WPB for permission to
use more paper than was allowed
under the ruling. In almost all
cases, he said, permission was
granted
Production Falling.
Production Of newsprint is falling
off considerably, partly because some
Quebec mills have gone out of busi-
ness and partly because of the labor
situation, Mr.. Morgan reported.
He suggested that the Guild
formulate a policy on its position in
the newsprint situation, aimed to-
ward an orderly curtailment in
tended to save the industry from
some more drastic regulation.
Earlier, Sam Eubanks, executive
vice president Of the Guild, reported
that the unions membership had
reached IAN ali-time high"
"As result of the past years Or

Henry Armstrong as he slashed out
a ten-round decision over Wine
Joyce of Gary, Indiana in a bout
that sparkled with some of his OLD

years ago.
True to his past reputation that
won for him the name of Ham

from his stool at the opening bell
and tore into Joyce with singing

an early lead until he slipped and
went into the ropes.

him temporarily but he recovered
in time to smash several hard right
