Newsprnt is the type of paper which newspapers

The daily newspapers meet the increase IN the cost

Representative Emanuel Celer ID. n. W, who Tor

between the manufacturers, and there has been clear
violation of the antitrust laws

In view of the high expense involved in publishing THE

When he tries to defend Achesons tenure and defies
the critics the basis that his removal would be interest

Frankly, we have opinion way the other as

doubt that it would make the least bit of difference did
But if we are to be afraid to appoint our

Battle Says Little
On Plea to Amend
State Lottery Law
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, July II. -
Lotteries are banned in Virginia
by the State Constitution rather
than by statute. Gov. Battle noted
yesterday.
Otherwise. the governor declined
to comment on Fredericksburg
grand jury's recommendation Fri
day that the State lottery law be
amended to permit Embarrassing
auctions" for charity.
The Fredericksburg investiga-
ton came after the governor got
a letter from Alvin T. Embrey, an
attorney in that city, charging
that lotteries were being operated
in Fredericksburg in violation Of
State law. The governor turned
the letter over to local authorities.
