the present mystery will not speak

Higher Paper Prices
And Tighter Supply
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Tighter
newsprint supplies and higher
prices are the prospects facing
United States publishers.
Publishing sources figure con-
sumption of the paper used for
newspapers is about 6.5 per cent
above 1949, while production has
gained only about 2.8 per cent.
This simply means digging into
stocks for the difference. And
stocks are dwindling, too.
The supply situation alone has
forced some papers to limit the
advertising they can accept. In
creaSing costs are forcing many
to advance subscription rates.
During the last few months the
price OF newSprint has increased
generally $6 ton. Prices vary
according to location, but this
brings the New York price to $106.
This is the highest in almost 30
years and compares with an all
time top of $120 in the '20s and a
low OF about $40 in the depression
years. Newsprint had climbed to
$84 by 1916 and to $100 by the
end of 1948. The general $6-a-ton
increase this year was the first in
about two years.
One Increase Was $40.
While Sc was the most widely
accepted rate of increase, at least
Dne producer has stepped up prices
$40 and Great Northern Paper
Co. increased the price only SIS.
The $6 increase means another
1854 million added to the cost of
publishing newspapers in this
country, based on current annual
consumption estimates of So mil
lion tons.
But the current increase appears
not to be the end, according to re-
ports from Canada, where United
States publishers obtain 80 per
cent of their newsprint.
When Powell River Paper Co..
Vancouver, British Columbia,
started the ball rolling on October
l3 the increase was $40 a ton.
Other Canadian and United States
firms followed.
While Powell River stuck to the
SO. excepting in the Rocky Noun
tain and Southwestern areas,
where the advance was Sc, other
producers dropped back to Sc.
The reasons given for the price
boost were the Same-higher pay
rolls and increased costs gen.
orally. The Canadian mills listed
advances in items imported from
the United States, such as coal,
machinery, sulphur and trans
p0rtation.
Firms Dissatisfied With Price.
There have been reports from
Canada that the firms who went
up Sc are dissatisfied. They say
the price isn't high enough to
attract investors for capital to
expand.
The need for expansion is
shown in the consumption and
production figures and in esti-
mates that publishers will use
3.14 per cent more newsprint next
year-6.1 million tons.
Members of the American News
paper Publishers Association re-
ported at the end of November
they were down to an average of
80 days supply on hand or in
transit, the lowest figure for No.
vember 30 since 1916.
Around the world there is a
tightness in supply with several
countries in the market for more
Canadian tonnage.

Burned 10 Death in Shack
BY the Associated Press

SCOTTSVILLE, Va, Dec. 90
A mother and her three little chill
dren burned to death near here
late yesterday when flames de-
stroyed a three-room frame shack,
The dead woman was listed as
the 23-year-old wife of a wood
cutter, Henderson White. Names
of the children-a 6-year- girl,
4-year-old boy and eight-month-
old girl-were not available. All
are colored.
Cause of the fire could not be
determined. Mr.. White said he
saw flames at the house, situated
on the farm of A. j. Steger near
the Buckingham County commu-
nifty of Centenary, while he was
cutting wood.
Mr.. White said he found the
bodies of his wife and three chill
dren huddled near a stove in the
shack. A 3-year-old child appar-
emily escaped from the blazing
shack and was found in the yard.
Although she was not hurt, she
was unable to tell what hap
pened.

the jets? The vast Chinese Com
muniSt land armies never even
developed armored warfare to the
degree that it was used by North
Koreans under Russian tutelage
The Russians may have learned
or guessed that the tank-wise
North Koreans could not handle
a modern air force. But the Chi
nese Reds apparently could not
even be trusted to run an armored
land force.
Who then has been flying the
jet planes the Chinese Commu-
mist air force has been display
ing for nearly two years?

By Russell Brines
Associated Press War Correspondent

TOKYO. Dec. 2O.-The Com
munist Air Force flying over Korea
has become SO elusive that Amer
lean officers wonder what it is
trying to hide.
One prevalent guess is that
Russian pilots may be flying the
Soviet-made jets under strict Or
|ders to avoid disclosing their
identity.
No one knows for sure. The
Communists have taken elaborate
pains to insure that no damaged
planes or their pilots fall into
Allied territory. None has.
Communist jets have made SIS
individual flights in the last two
weeks. This is the most active
Communist air showing of the
war.
Red pilots hug the Manchurian
border. The farthest south they
ventured was on one foray against
a flight of Superforts near Sinanju.
That is about 10 miles southeast
of the border.
Threat Held to Minimum.
Militarily. this has held the
Communist aerial threat to a
minimum. For example, the Reds

On Trade With Enemy
By the Assoeiafed Press

Senator O'Conor, Democrat of
Maryland, proposed yesterday to
make it a crime for American
citizens to trade with any country
engaged in an undeclared shoot
ing war" with the United States.
He offered a bill providing
maximum penalty of five years in
prison and a $4,000 fine for any
violator
The present law, Senator o.
Conor said in a statement, only
prohibits trading with an enemy
in formally declared war. There
fore, he said, it was possible for
American citizens ito evade our

strategic materials to Red China
after the Korean war broke out.
Senator O'Conor headed a

Trotters At Gorden

Winning their 306th victory,
the polyrhthmic Harlem Globe
Trotters invaded Boston last
Thursday night and attracted the
largest crowd the Boston Garden
has ever known. Two weeks be-
fore the scheduled pro basket
ball classic with the New York
Celtics the 1909 seats were sold
out with standee space at a pre-
MUM. Those rebels of basketball
with their bebopping dizzy drib-
bles and famed comedy acts, not
withstanding, defeated tn e
Celtics So to so.
With 5000 fans turned away,
the Celtics muffed their chance
to redeem themselves in what
had been a thoroughly dismal
season. The first half played
seriously with Marcus Haynes
exhibiting his amazing wizardry
and big Sweetwater Clifton adj
ding comical maneuvers, the
Trotters led ALPS. In the last
five minutes of play in the seconc
half with the fans screaming Il
the roof top, these clever athlete
with their hoopla again swunI
into action.
Celebrated Goose Tatum, a
Fone-man show for anybody's
money spanked the Trotters re-
pertoire of tricks in the closing
moments.
Their typical football play with
Johnny Wilson just missing the
basket on an hilarious dropkick
attempt from half floor position
vowed the assemblage. Star
Tatum then introduced his base
running interlude, while Hynes
spun the ball on his finger tips
during the games last seconds.
Tatum was high Troter scorer

up II. Sandwiched between the
business of clashing with the
Celtics, Tatum carried on banter
with fans in the floor seats. Ar
