SEN. MURRAY DEMANDS
AN INVESTIGATION OF
NEWSPRINT SHORTAGE
ADVOCATES THAT Gov
EMINENT TAKE AC-
TON AGAINST ALLEG-
ED MONOPOLY
Washington Correspondent
of the Key West Citizen)

| Wv, ~ ~, ECO' ~
Senator James E. Murray, Mon
tana democrat, is pushing his de-
mands for a thorough investiga-
ton of the alleged newsprint
monopoly which he considers a
threat against the right of readers
to receive the news to which
they are entitled in the Key West
Citizen and other newspapers.
According to Senator Murray,
American newspapers are already
so decidedly under the thumb of
this monopoly, directed from
Canada, that production of The
Citizen is more costly than pro-
duction of newspapers in Tampa,
Jacksonville, Miami, st. Peters
burg and many other Florida
cities.
This situation, according to
Senator Murray, portends the
possible ruination of the smaller
city daily and the weekly news
paper. How highly senators APP
praise the role of newspapers in
general, and the smaller city
newspapers in particular, is in
dictated in statements by two
leaders, Senator Robert A. Taft,
Ohio, Republican, and Alben w.
Barley, Democrat, of Kentucky.
1.-THE editor of the small town
newspaper is responsible for see
ing that people get straight news
without prejudice and that they
understand what the issues are,
says Senator Taft.
Senator Barkley believes it is
essential that the small neWSpa-
per, the small daily and the
weekly newspaper, shall be pre-
served as a part of our educa
tional heritage"
Senator Murray directed an in.
vestigation into the newsprint sit
uation during the 10th Congress:
as head of the Senate Small Busi'
ness Committee. As part of hi:
report he published a heretofore
confidential report by the Fed
eral Trade Commission, made fol-
the Justice Department which Wa'
considering antitrust action. The
newsprint industry, however, i!
directed from Canada and is out
side the jurisdiction of the US
: law. Senator Murray has recon-
, mended that the reactivated small
! Business Committee of the Senate
/ investigate means of curbing the
alleged monopoly. He also stated
United Nations action should bC
sought to prevent neWsprint from
becoming an instrument of power
politics, asserting that free anC
. untrammeled dissemination o.
news is necessary to continued
, world peace.
The ETC investigation uncoV-
cred a zoning system of setting
neWSprint prices. This system
was set up during the NRA days
it was never accepted by NRA
! however-and is still in use, &C
cording to Senator Murray, I'm
der this system the United States
was divided into. ten zones and a
number of port cities. Zone
four" was to be the base zone,
and the price in each other zone
was to be the base price. plus OF
minus a stipulated differential.
! Key West is in zone nine, the
most costly zone in the country
where the price per 1000 pound
ton of newSprint is the base price
plus five dollars. Jacksonville
and Tampa are port cities" where
the price is base less one dollar

MODERN poLIrIcIAN

EDITOR, The Citizen:
Some days ago, the Oracle
advised the voters that certain
politicians would announce them
selves with impossible promises.
The Oracle is certainly right in
his convictions, except he under
estimates the modern politician.
Instead of promises, action Of
some kind will take place, which
will serve to throw the public off
balance.
A move by politicians now in
office to give the public some
thing for nothing, is favorite
play. This tends to make the
voter forget the past, and think
|of him as pretty good fellow.
It usually works, too.
Another comparatively new
scheme is the organizing Of So
called civic clubs. A large MEM
bership is obtained, including a
high percentage of business men,
who unsuspectingly donate funds
which are used for the cause.
These clubs or organizations serve
simply to lift a man or men who
have mired themselves in public
distaste. A lot of false propagan-
da is also thrown in.
There are many other meth
DDS, SO be alert. To be sure OF
yourself, check the politicians
record, if he has one. Did he
prove of value? Did he do and
act as you expected when you
voted for him? Did he try to
lower your tax burden? Did he
give you more for your tax dol
liar, or did he squander. it? Fin
ally, was he a part of fair, pro-

AFTER THE BATH i. Use

VOUR first outdoor appearance
l Of the season in bathing suit
usually IS an ordeal. White win
ter skin looks uninspiring when
matched with bright sunlight,
ocean blue, creamy sand or green
grass.
If you are one Of those lucky
people who can get a whack at
sun lamp before you make
your debut at resort, you may
be able to bask in public with
out feeling like a zombie.
The next best thing you can
do, in lieu of the sunlamp, is to
try to tone up the drabness of
sallowness of your skin be-
fore you emerge in your bare
mid-riff or strapless swim suit.
Scrub yourself daily with a
good bath brush. Use a pumice or
lemon breach on brown-stained
elbows, foot callouses, heels and
knees. After the bath use a fric-
ton lotion of scented oil and al
cohol to keep skin smooth and
fragrant. Use a busting powder
or tale. A Turkish towel rub will
make your skin tingle, but skip
it if your skin is tender.
Deodorant used at frequent in
tervals will keep you glamor-
wise during sultry weather. Re-
member, also, that no fastidious
girl would dream of appearing
barelegged without defuzzing her
legs. \
You can do this hair removal

History is being made in the
Baptist ranks of Arizona by Mrs.
S. J. Shelton, president of the
Women's Department of the Para
disc Missionary Baptist State Con-
vention. The Convention contracted
for several acres of land on which
to erect an institution out near
broadway. When everyone had just
about forgotten about it, Mrs.
Shelton seemed freshly inspired
and began planning to raise money
for the educational institution, and
through her efforts the first pay
ment was made.
Vegetables which grow on the
land are being sold to help make
the payments.

We all say that, don't we and we
keep right on living. Are we ever
satisfied with our present condi-
tions,-no. We always want or
crave, that, we don't have and
can't get. Prices are continuing
up everywhere. Every one blames
the other. Now who's guilty?
Rationing was spoken of. These
high prices will automatically make
us ration. We don't need that, we
need price control. They need us

What-to make and enforce laws,
of course. Oh! we'll we live in

we look at it. The more we learn
about it and the longer we stay
here the more fascinating it be-
comes. Every created thing in it
means something. All the animals
and insects, even the scorpions,
bugs, snakes, you and were put
here for a reason. Now don't ask
me, for what reason Chat I've
often Wondered) .. Behind all
of life lies a purpose. Scientists
and researchers in the realm of
nature are discovering new uses
for many things that heretofore
have been considered of no value.
Even the tomato was once con-
sidered poison. There is a purpose
or meaning to every tree, flower,
blade of grass, rock or formation
of clouds. How can anyone look
on the artistic beauty of the snow
flake and listen to the lonesome
patter of the rainfall and not
realize that there is a Creator be-
hind it all. believeethat the Maker
meant that every human being
should not only mean some thing to
himself but to the world at large.
Many of us sense the false idea
that the world owes us a living.
It is we who owe the world all
that is in us and that we can do
to make it a happier and better
world for everyone in it. We serve
God by serving humanity Try
making someone happy everyday.
