Newsprint Conference
Seeks 10 Restore 1941
Production Level
BY the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Aug. Ala deter
mined effort to increase the low
supply Of newsprint through direct
dealings between newspaper pub
fishers and experts and the pro-
ducers themselves was opened to-
day at two-day session.
A seven-man. task force" repre-
senting the Newspaper Industry Ad-
visory Committee sat down at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel with repre-
sentatives OF four big paper COM
panies in continuing meeting.
The declared aim was to find ways
and means Of bringing newsprint
production back to its 1941 level
as quickly as possible.
Robert Choate, publisher of the
Boston Herald and Traveller and
chairman of the task group, asserted
the paper supply situation remained
serious" Too many publishers, he
said, failed to realize that the wars
end did not solve a continuing
problem.
Few Early Increases Seen.
The consultations with producers
here were held privately and Mr..
Choate said the first report of his
group must be made to the News
paper Industry Advisory Commit
tee, which will meet on the same
problem with War Production Board
officials in Washington September
II and IL.
The task group here was faced
with reports, however, that few If
any increases in newsprint supplies
were in immediate sight. Some in
creases in Canadian production are
expected in the last quarter Of 1e45
and the first quarter of 1916. Full
Canadian production was not pre-
dicted before the middle of next
year.
Scandinavian pulp production was
not expected to approach normal
within the next II months and few
of these shipments were scheduled
to cross the Atlantic. On the con-
trary, one authoritative report said
supplies Of North American news
print probably would have to con-
tinue to be sent to Europe through
Government channels for the next
year.
Want Limitation Order Retained.
In a period when Government
controls are being abandoned in
wholesale lots, one siZable group
Of newspaper publishers is known
to be insistent that the WPB news
print limitation order L-240 be re-
tanned until production returns to
its 194l level. This same group
argued that unless this control was
exercised for at least another three
to nine months q chaotic situa-
ton would result.
Any immediate relaxation, it was
argued, would mean a scramble for
paper and sharp upsweep in prices
with some of the larger and more
favorably situated newspapers get
ting more than their share.
Members of the newspaper task
force" in addition to Mr.. Choate are

Fort Be|yoir Soldier
Dies Of PoIio;;3 Girls
Stricken in District

A soldier from Fort Belvoir, Va,
died Sunday at Walter Reed Hos
pital from infantile paralysis, the
Health Department reported today,
bringing the deaths so far this year
to five.
He was Sergt. Warren H. Shredder,
"a, who was taken sick August 16
and was moved to the hospital Sum-
day. His home was in Fairbury,
Nebr.
The soldiers case was one Of four
cases reported to the Health De-
partment today, bringing the total
number of cases hospitalized in
Washington to 108 since January /.
OF these, 81 were cases from the
District and At were residents
mostly from nearby areas.
Three Hospitalized.
Today's cases, in addition to the
soldier, were two colored sisters,
and 9 years of age, from the 1900
block of Sixth street NV, both
admitted to Walter Reed, and a
5-year-old colored girl from the
100 block of Myrtle street NE, sent
to Children's Hospital.
Although new cases of polio are
being reported daily, Health De-
partment officials today said the
outbreak so far this year has not
been as serious statistically as 1t
was last year.
There were las cases reported dur
ing the first II weeks period which
began in July last year, but there
were only SO cases during the first
II weeks of the outbreak this year,
beginning in June.
Believed Now at Peak.
There were IL local cases last week
compared with ~ during the same
week last year, it was added.
DR.. James G. Cumming, chief of
the Bureau of Preventable Diseases,
expressed the hope that this may
be the peak of the outbreak this
season. But all officials still SHE'D
away from calling the outbreak an
epidemic.
Asked about the use of DDT In
Rockford, ILL.,, in test to stem the
tide of an epidemic there, DR.. Cum
ming questioned the experiment as
probably impractical.
Richmond Passes 1914 Mark.
From Richmond, Va, the Asso-
ciated Press reported three new
cases Of polio yesterday, putting
Richmond's total three above the
1914 mark, although the season"
for the disease still has about q
month and half to run, according
to health authorities. Forty-six
cases have been reported there this
year, compared with 43 for 1914.
Although the incidence of the
disease throughout Virginia is not
considered alarming, Richmond
health officials were concerned over
the high percentage reported in the
metropolitan area.
Ten new cases were reported
today throughout Virginia by the
State Health Department and the
Medical College of Virginia Hospital,
bringing the State total for August
to IS and the total for the year to
l52. Last year at the close of the
same period, 275 cases had been
reported in the State.

National Airport Hit
BY Expert as Example
|0f What NOT 10 Do

The National Airport was labeled
an excellent example Of what not
to do," in constructing landing fields
during q discussion Of metropolitan
airport needs at the two-day Air
port Users Conference, which ends
today at the Statler Hotel.
Rufus Colfax Phillips, jr., presi-
dent OF Anyways Engineering Con-
sultants, Inc, told the conference
yesterday the field and terminal
were inadequate almost before they
were opened for business in June,
lS4l. He pointed out that military
operations at the field as well as
the Naval Air Station and Boiling
Field across the Potomac contrib.
uted largely to present congestion,
but he predicted peacetime CONNER
cial traf1c at the field alone will
exceed the present volume of mill
tary trafic.
Operations Limited.
Certainly some substantial in
creases should have been expected
and provided for" he said.
Mr.. Phillips explained the field
permits single runways in various
wind directions and that to install
duel runways in compliance with
present instrument approach re-
quirements would necessitate either
further fill-in of the river or re-
moval of buildings and hills.
Under favorable weather condi-
tions, two or three operations a
minute are now permitted sut dur
ing instrument weather, he said,
only about four planes an hour can
be handled. This makes it neces-
sary to stack" incoming planes in
the air, he said, and in many cases
to send them back to their points
of origin.
Passengers Sent Back.
TT is not infrequent for number
of transports with full load of
passengers destined for Washington
on important business, to be re-
turned to Richmond, Norfolk, Balti-
more, Pittsburgh and other places
simultaneously" Mr.. Phillips said.
This certainly does not contribute
to the future of air travel as de-
pendable transportation"
The consultant also complained
that the terminal building was so
constructed and designed as to pro-
hibit expansion, with the result that
ticket counters had to be erected in
the lobby spelling its architectural
grandeur, and the transport lines
are stumbling over each other as
best they can"
Julien G. Sourwine, administra-
tive assistant to Senator McCarran,
Democrat, OF Nevada last night
traced the provisions Of pending
legislation to develop a national sys-
tenn of airports.
Details Of a proposed Washing
ton Memorial Airpark will be dis
closed tonight by the Aero Club Of
Washington at the closing session
of the conference.
