Role Of Small Papers
Stressed in Broadcast
I0n.'V Voice Of America
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 10-Small
newspapers were described as lab
solutely pivotal in the small COM
munity" in a State Department
Voice of America" overseas broad
cast participated in by two news
papermen from small city papers
today.
The participants were David
Howe, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
and business manager of the
Burlington, VT, Free Press, and is
Gray, publisher of the Monroe,
Mich, Evening News. ......
The broadcast was the second in
series of four on the American
press beamed to Latin America, Eu-
rope and the Far East. 1t was
transmitted in English but trans
lated for rebroadcast in other lam
guages including French, Russian
and Italian.
Town Pride Cited.
Mr.. Howe said the reason for ex-
istence of the small town press "pri-
marily is town pride"
In every weekly and small daily
is gathered up the aspirations OF
that town." he said-"its desire to
be governed well, to progress, to
show as merchandising center and
cultural center
| Small town newspapers are pros
porous at the moment, Mr.. Howe
said. But scarcity of newsprint and
labor have resulted in greatly adj
vancing" costs for both items.
We're in a somewhat inflationary
spiral and it's very hard for reve-
nues to keep ahead of expenses" he
added
Mr.. Howe said there were 5000
weekly, semiweekly and triweekg
newspapers in the United States
with circulation of about IA 900, ,000,
| in addition to 1,749 English language
dailies With more than $4,000, 900 cir
culation.
! Mr.. Gray said about IS per cent
of the dailies were published in cities
with less than $4,000 population, and
added:
"A fact to be remembered. I think,
/ in any such discussion, is that In
| the smaller fields where the smaller
dailies are published. actually ma
jority of our people in most cases
are dependent upon the small town
paper for their knowledge of local,
State and world news as well as
completely dependent upon their pa
per for knowledge of local news.
consequently, you find these
smaller papers doing a surprising
job in their presentation of the wire
services and every comment on world
affairs as well as performing the
local functions"
The Michigan publisher, asked
about "electronic advances that may
threaten the small paper said 81
think they will adjust themselves to
those advances as they come and
perhaps just as we have adjusted to
the advance of radio"

N. {. MAY LOSE
One CONGRESSMAN
Population C h a n g e
Throughout Nation
Said Reason

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-R-
The Tar Heel state, thought it
gained 146, 900 in population
since 1910 to an estimated g.
718, 900, may lose one of it's II
house members after the 1850
census.
This possible loss in Congress
sional representation by North
Carolina was raised by the
House Committee on Post Office
and Civil service which recently
surveyed the population shifts of
World War II with an eye to
their effect on Congress.
It found North Carolina, bar
ring a sudden rise in the birth
rate or influx of migrants, one
of 10 states likely to drop one
one or more memberships in
the lower house.
The other losers: New York
8; Pennsylvania 2; Arkansas, IL
linois, Tennessee, Missouri, New
Jersey, Kentucky, Oklahoma,
one each.
On the basis of the present
survey South Cardinals House
membership of six would re-
main unchanged although that
state gained only $4,000 to l.
918, Q or an increase OF one
per cent compared to North
Cardinals four per cent.
New York, New Jersey and
some others, like North Caro-
lima, gained in population since
1910. 1t is possible they may
lose representatives, however,
because they have a smaller
proportion of the total national
population than in 1910 - other
states have gained more.
