Its big guns have during the past bIsnnium been aimed at steam ship and lighterage companies The Development Board was the territorial agency primarily res- poRsible for the defeat of the move on the part of the steam ship companies to get a 100 per cent increase in freight rates to Alaska. It also led the fight to reduce the excessive lighterage rates in the Boring Sea area, which have so long hamstrung the development of the Second Division. This latter ease is now pending before the Maritime Commission It is difficult to understand how any man can attempt tv destroy the Develop ment Board and then have the gall to stand up in the Senate as Ceffey did a few days ago and tell the world how bitterly ep- posed he is to an increase of any kind in fire ght rates.

Strife Al Lahore

NEW DELHI, India, March A.
UD - The provincial government
of the Punjab resigned today as
the result of savage lots at
Lahore in which up to 30 persons
were reported killed n 9a
wounded.
Hindus and Sikhs battled Mos
lens in walled Lahore after a
Moslem demand for an all-Moslem
provincial government.
Reports of the rioting seeped
through a tight British. censorship.
They put the number killed at 30.
A report received late tonight,
however, said the death toll might
prove to be as low as II.
Police fired 20 rounds into bridk-
throwing crowds and clamped al
ll-hour curfew on the city.
Punjab Governor Sir Evans
jenkins, fearing a recurrence oil
communal strife which claimed
1900 lives in Calcutta alone last
summer, alerted troops throughout
the province.
Fighting was especially bitter
because the war-like Sikhs joined
Alndus against Moslem mobs.
R1oting was touched off by a
Moslem students demonstration in
favor of an all-Moslem provincial
ministry to replace the coalition
cabinet which collapsed Sunday
| night.

Newsprint Black Market
d Woe To Publishers

WASHINGTON, March 4. -U.H-
Two witnesses before a Senate
Small Business subcommittee testi
fled today that a 'black market
in newsprint was contributing il
part to publishers difficulties ir
getting paper for their presses.
Charles E. Moreau, publisher Of
five New Jersey weeklies, and Ed
M. Anderson, publisher of the
Brevard, N. c. Times, predicted a
bad future for small newspapers
unless the newsprint shortage
eases.
They testified at the first SEES
sion of week-long hearings into the
shortage.
Other witnesses, including Grams
ton Williams, general manager OF
the American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association, were no more op.
timistic. Williams said the out
look for increased production in
1947 is black because there is not
now under construction a single
new neWsprint mill in the world
He said not a single newspaper
has suspended publication solely
because of a lack of %newsprint, but
the committee suggested that any
having undue hardship should come
forward and tell their story.
Group Organizes
Meanwhile the House NeWsprin1
and Paper Investigating commit
tee held an organizational meet
ing which decided that its own
hearings would open next Monday,

wick channel and proceed down
stream to the lower end of Lilliput
channel, about halfway between the
mouth of the Cape Fear and Will
mington.
Former Governor J. M. Brough-
ton, counsel for the authority, re-
ported on progress of the group
since its creation by the 1915 gen
eral assembly. He said efforts were
now under way to purchase from
the U. 5. Maritime commission
the N. c. Shipbuilding company at
Wilmington. He added that the Au-
thority had offered the commits
sion 1850, 900 for the plant, and
that Presidential Advisor John R.
Steelman now had the offer under
consideration.
Broughton said the Authority had
been allocated 500, 900 by the Fed
era1 Works Administration to make
a comprehensive survey of North
Carolina ports and their needs.
This survey, he said, had already
been undertaken.
"North Carolina has suffered -
in freight rates, transportation, in
dustries, particularly in Eastern
North Carolina because of it's
inadequate port facilities Brough-
ton declared.
Other Speakers
Other speakers included Joe Han
sen of Kannapolis, president of the
North Carolina Traffic league; W.
C. Parks, former production man.
ager of the N. c. Shipbuilding COM
pany at Wilmington, who talked on
shipyard facilities for a Whining
ton port; and j. T. HERS, executive
secretary of the Wilmington Port
commission.
Senator Rivers johnson of Dup
lin county spoke ON the industrial
needs of Eastern North Carolina
and begged legislators to "come on
to the East and help us" Johnson
said after the meeting that he eX-
pected to introduce a bill in the
General assembly providing funds
for further port development.
Rep. Fred S. Register of Hender-
son, who is also president Of the
Bright Belt Tobacco Warehouse as
ISOLATION, said North Carolina
produces between IS and 70 per
cent of all the flue-cured tobacco
in this country and 40 per cent
is for export purposes" He adj
ded that adequate port facilities
would help the tobacco export bust
mess and concluded that 'this pro-
lposal deserves careful c%onsidera-
ton and support of the legislature"
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-03-05

Chairman Clarence J. Brown, r.
O., said the first witnesses would
be representatives of the ANPA
and the Canadian Newsprint Manu-
facturers' association.
Sen. Homer E. Capeheart, R.,
Ind, subcommittee chairman,
said the problem is to obtain
n%eWsprint in such quantities that
the press of this great nation can
properly fulfill it's responsibilities
to the public"
Answering that challenge,
Charles P. Helfenstein of Live Oak,
Fla, a vice president of the Ma
tional Editorial association, sub
raitted d program drafted by NEA.
1t proposes, as a short-term
measure, that all newspaper cir
culation should be frozen at the
March %, 1947 levels until there
is more equitable distribution.
Newsprint exports would be cur
tailed along with the government
use of paper. Black marketing
should be Investigated, and jobbers
and mills would be requested to
restrict newsprint sale and distri-
button to historical use - news
paper publishing.
Over the intermediate and long
hauls, NEA advocated increas-
ing production in the South and
IN Alaska, urging Canadian and U.
S. mills to reconvert to newsprint
production, and finally, organic
ing small sci into groups for
bulk purchases.
