ALASKA NEWSPRINT

Editor and Publisher, magazine for publishers, has been carrying on concerted editorial campaign to stir up interest in establishing newsprnt pulp mills in Alaska as means increasing the supply of this scarce and expensive item.
 Says this magazine:
 Almost every important newspaper publisher in this country is in New York this week attending the annual meetings of the American Newspaper Publish Association.
 There is hardly one of them who wouldn't like to considerably more.
 But they can't get it. There isn't enough being produced for everyone to have more To give more to one taking it away from another As one newsprnt salesman said in the lobby of the Waldorf r. "All requests for newsprint are being filed"
 We'll bet it is file and forget because at the rate newsprnt production capacity is being expanded in the U S. and Canada the supply will never catch up with demand According to all reports, the de- mand for newsprint is static It is going to grow in direct proportion to the demand for advertising space and the demand for copies, The ceilings are not in sight for either demand.
 Scandinavia will probably again become a large newsprnt supplier in this country because of the growing demand for that paper in Europe.
 The U. S. woodland capacity is not extensive enough to supply for long period the large newsprint mills now needed for extra production.
 The Canadian forests probably could handle few more economical mills. Canada already supplies about 80 per of the U S. newsprint but it's pro- ducers are wary of extending themselves financially for more production The trials of the depression years ago too vivid in their memories, and only recently having lifted themselves out of bankruptcy

spect and confidence Of Secretary Of State Marshall Although some state Department functionaries would consider the Argentine Gen eral persona non grata as ambas- sador, Marshall is not likely to share this view Among other things, the secretary knows that von der Becke. along with three other top aimy men, now wields decisive influence in the conduct Of foreign affairs by the quarrel hidden Peron regime
 The other three, who, like von oey B6cke. all want complete re- zppEOacnment with the U. S, are Generals Mason, Guglielmoni and Vzgo The first-named succeeded yon der Becke as Chief of Staff Of the Army.
 Note-Von der Becke, Of pure German descent is the man who publicly predicted that General Eisenhower could never land an in- yading army on the shores of France Von der Becke once train cd with the German army, but now admits to his healthy respect for U. s. military power.

PERON AND THE PRESS

It wasn't generally Ki.own, but La PrenSa. which has the largest cir culation of any Argentine daily and is ranked as one ol the great newspapers of the world was forti- fled with 5000 worth of new de- fenSe armament against an expect ed assault by ardent supporters of President Peron after a mass meet ing on May 1.
 The papers owners spent that sum buying and installing three huge cast iron doors at the principal entrances to the building. The Peronists have, on various occa- slons Tn the past, set fire to the newspapers wooden doors fronting the street, following hot oratory by i their leaders from the Presidential Palace balcony in Plaza de Mayo. Despite these precautions, the First of May celebration (observing Lahor Day in Argentine) did not reach violent stage The crowd of 55,000 workers who gathered in the Plaza 10 hear Peron talk of reckoning the Argentine people dispersed afterward with only a scattering oi shouted insults for La Prensa.

and debt they would rather along with sure thing than plan for a bigger future.
 Unless our daily newspapers to resign them selves to perpetual state of frozen circulation and ratoned advertising they must do something to help themselves about their newsprint situation. If it can't be bought then the logical thing to do is make it yourselves or get someone else to make it.
 Where? In Alaska!
 No newspaper has the resources to spend 25 to 30 million dollars for newsprint mill in Alaska And it will be a difficult task for group of papers to interest private capital in developing that area-al though we feel sure the idea could be sold the basis of guaranteed market
 There is logical "taker" hl our government. The Departmnt of Interior has surveyed the whole situation and believes newsprint mills possible there.
 The Army and Navy should be interested in seeing Alaska populated towns built docks and air fields set up-particularly along the coastal fringe say nothing of their possible interest in development of communication and transportation there.
 The REC has the money and there have been re- ports it might be interested in such investment.
 There We have the potential interest of the mili- tary and the bureaucrats. The politicians the Hill" who are interested in doing something about newsprnt ought to the logical steps to be taken
 If they don't it, who else but the newspaper publishers should bring it to their atention-and what better time is there than now?
 If additional newsprnt capacity is not put in the blueprint stage soon American newspapers may find themselves in few years in a shortage that will make the present seem like a cornucopia

The DurOcher Case
Cincinnati Enquirer

Newspaper editorial comment around the nation has been singularly favorable in the wake of Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandlers one-year suspension of Manager Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn Dodgers A number of sports writers have criticized either the verdict it's severity but most of them had pre- ousy been critical of Chandler and could have been expected to view with a jaundiced eye any decision he might have made.
 The editorial concensus is that Durocher. all things considered had been guilty of conduct inmical the best interests of baseball and that despite the harshness of the punishment he got what ing to him Several newspapers have made the point and think it is good one-that the boisterous Durocher should have been disciplined time ago. Conceivaby, had this happened, it would have averted the recent cscedo of notoriety with which the Brooklyn manager surrounded himself and base ball.
 The comment made that Chandler rendered a moral judgment on Durocher. This may have been the case, and if it was, Commissioner Chandler stood firm ground in giving the judgment. Essentially, one of the main duties of the Commissioner is to safe guard the morality of baseball.
 It should be remembered that in handling down his decision Commissioner Chandler remarked that Durochers suspension for recent actions and other conduct detrimental to baseball" There was the inference that the dossier in the Durocher contained much that wasn't being made public. h. deed those who have read the entire file say it quite justifieS the years suspension even if, many be- lieve, it the end rather than interruption of Durocher's career in baseball
 Commissioner Chandler may have strained the quality of his justice in the Durocher case but to have been than fair to Lippy" would have been less than fair to the national sport.

NEW ARGENTINE AMBASSADOR
