Cost Increases Called
.Thorny Problem for
Nation S Newspapers
By the A:soeiofed Pres.


NEW YORK, April 24.-Rising
costs are major problem for the
Nations newspapers, the president
OF the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association said today.
THE difficulty of publishing a
newspaper has never been greater
we are confronted constantly
with the puzzle of how to make
our income equal our expense, "
said Edwin S. Friendly, a vice
president of the New York World
Telegram and Sun.
Mr.. Friendly's remarks were in
a speech prepared for executives
OF newspapers in the 10000 to
$4,000 circulation group who are
here for the ANPA's 65th annual
convention.
Executives of newspapers with
circulationS under 10000 met in
separate session.
Rising Costs Cited.
Imitation poses special problems
for newspapers, Friendly said, ex-
planning:
Newspapers differ from COM
modities in that the price for
commodities can be raised to meet
every increased cost.
Newspapers have always re-
garded themselves in the light of
a public service, a public trust,
and the price for the newspaper
must always be such as to make
it available to every man and
woman.
ION the other hand, there is no
privilege when newspapers have
to meet their costs-newspaper
wages are among the highest paid
today in any business or industry.
The materials entering into the
production of the newspaper are
becoming increasingly costly-and
IN some cases because of the de-
tense program. increasingly diff
cult to procure at any price.
"Television has become another
competing for the adver-
tlslng dollar-and we must apply
more than ever to con-
tinuing to get an ever-increasing
volume of these dollars"
Publishing costs also claimed the
attention of the executives of the
under-10,00 0,000-circulation group.
Economy Methods Sought,
All OF US want to know how to
operate more economically, how to
find increased revenue, how to
come out at the end of the year
with black ink. rather than red,
ANPA Vice President Charles F.
McCahill told this group. Mr..
McCahill is general manager of
the Cleveland News.
Robert M. White II, associate
publisher of the Mexico (MoD
Evening Ledger. was chairman of
the under 10000 circulation
R. M. Hederman, jr., general
manager of the jackson (Miss.)
Clarion-Ledger, presided at the
10000 to $4,000 circulation meet
ing.
Despite rising costs, the Nations
newspapers must continue to
make a profit il they are able to
remain free. Mr.. Hederman said.
Profit is more important than
just the dollars and cents that
may accrue to a few persons in
terested in publishing a news
paper, because it means the differ
ence between a free and uncon-
trolted press and a press which is
subsidized and which publishes
only what an interested group, or
ton, or government may
wish to have published for it's own
selfish interests" he declared.
