Star-News Staff Writer

Radio commentators, news col

world affairs would find them
selves seeking trouble if they were
to pay a visit to the Current At
fairs classroom in New Hanover
High school and attempt to "trip
up the students who are studying
current world doings under the
guidance of Mrs. George Lee

Watching and listening to the dis
cussion of the teen-age students
of local, state, national and world
affairs, caused this writer to sub
scribe to several more magazines
touching on current events.
H. M. Roland, superintendent
OF schools, recently conducted the
class as guest teacher, and at times
the county school head had the
students throwing questions back
at a senate committee rate.

The officers said he had left
home last Monday and had not
been seen until today when John
went to the hay lot to search for
his brother and found his father
sitting in the barn, and a pool
of blood on the floor.
John told officers that his father
shot at him, and when he ran to
the house, Mrs. Wood came out
into the yard, and Wood shot her
through the shoulder with a 20

shot his father through the head.
Jerry's body was recovered later

Look what happened in 1917 and

Since the whole report is an ex- pose of the growth of monopoly, it gets quickly to the point as to our newspaper publishers, saying that although newspaper circulation has mounted steadily, the number of newspapers in the US. has de- clined sharply during the last three decades ...
 "Very few communities now have more than one version of the news. Finally, news gathering is virtually monopolized by three press services, and newspaper publishers have made substantial invasions into the field of radio.
 Trend Continues
 ''In 1909 there were approxi- mately 2,6OO daily newspapers with a total circulation of 24.2 million. By 1942 the number of dailies had dropped to l,787, while the circu- lation had nearly doubled to reach 43.4 million. This trend has con- tinued up to the present time. Be- tween l936 and l942 there oc- cured a net decline of POP daiIies while the overall circulation in- creased by more than 3 million. By 1942 to the latter part of 1945, the number of daily newspapers decreased by 38 in the face of a further 5 million increase in cir culatiOn which carried the total for all newspapers in the country to the record of 48.4 miIlion.''
 The report then turns to the chain papers, finding that in 1883, only 63 chains with a total of 361 papers, controlled more than 379o of the nations total daily circulation. Only six chains-Hearst, Patterson-Mc- Cormick k, Scripps-Howard, Paul Block, Ridder and Gannett-with their 81 dailies accounted for more than 21@o of the country's daily cir cu1ation. In 1940, chains controlled about two-ffths (40%) of the entire
