Additional $4,000 Sought
For Newsprint Research
By The Associatedg Press


The Agriculture Departments
Forest Products Division said to-
day it could use effectively" up to
$4,000 more for research to de-
velop new sources of newsprint.
George w. Trayer, chief of the
division, wrote Senator Wiley, Re-
publican. of Wisconsin that he
doubts that "it would be wise to
make large increase in our appro-
priation for newsprint research
alone because it would be difficult
to expend it wisely and much
greater results would be expected
than we could hope to produce in
a short time Mr.. Trayer added:
ut is our feeling that if $4,000
or 100000 were made available for
stepping up our research on news
print we could effectively use it on
how to produce newsprint from the
relatively plentiful woods that are
now not much used. We could not
promise, however, that this would
soon result in the production of
more neWsprint. for the simple rea-
son that production requires more
mills as much as it requires more
research"
Mr.. Trayer was replying to Sem
ator Wiley's request for information
on whether more money for the
Forest Products Divisions labora-
tory at the University of Wisconsin
would open the way to bigger
newsprint supply. Congress appro-
priated $1.250,000 for all operations
of the Wisconsin laboratory during
the fiscal year which began July !.

thorough alarm at the effort of the
democracies to thwart the current
Russian drive toward world revolu-

The Marshall Plan will doubtless
