Newsprint Mills Face
Production Slash Due
To Sulphur Shortage
BY the Associated Press

A National Production Authority
official today predicted that q
good many newsprint mills will
have to curtail production not
many weeks from now because OF
a shortage of sulphur.
Other authorities expressed the
opinion that sulphur will be
,nong the first scarce chemicals
2llocated under general chem
ical ALLEGATION order issued yester-
day by the National Production
Authority.
F~'e order resembled one under
wi, "a chemicals were controlled
by the War Production Board
during World War II. 1t did not
put any chemical under alloca-
tion Immediately, but provided a
mechanism under which the Gov
ernment may control the distribu-
tion Of scarce chemicals tilat will
be incorporated in the order from
time to time.
Situation Is Outlined.
An NPA authority, who pre-
ferred not to be quoted by name,
gave a reporter this outline of
the newsprint situation and the
probable effect of limited sulphur
supplies:
NeWsprint production is rum
ming at higher rate than ever
before in the history of the United
States.
Newspapers generally are re-
ceiving the largest supply in his
tory. However, some of them are
not getting as much as they could
use.
The mounting demands for sui
phur exceed the present supply
by Is to 20 per cent.
No substitute for sulphur has
yet been found with which to
produce sulphite paper pulp.
Newsprint produced in the North
ern United States and Canada is
about 20 per cent sulphite pulp.
Inventories Almost Exhausted.
Thus far, newsprint mills have
overcome reduced deliveries of
sulphur by using up inventories
and by various conservation meas
ures.
Now inventories are about gone.
A good many mills will have to
curtail production not many weeks
from now. Sulphur expansion
projects. for the most part will
take year or Is months to pro-
duce results. The critical period
for the newsprint industry will be
during the next IL months or So
What effect curtailed output
would have on United States
newspapers is not yet clear.
During World, War II, paper
consumption for newspapers,
books and magazines was cur
tailed by Government order. The
distribution of the available supply
was accomplished by industry.

Magazine Publisher Asks
Increase in Letter Rate
BY the Assoeioted Press

BY the ASsocioted PfeSS
A spokesman for magazine pub
fishers says if postal rates are in
creased at all the cost OF mailing
"a first-class letter should be
raised from 8 to 4 cents.
A. l.. Coles, general business
manager Of Readers Digest, made
the suggestion yesterday in testi-
mony before the House Post Office
Committee. He is spokesman for
the National Association of Maya
zine Publishers.
The committee is studying re-
quests from the administration
that second-class rates covering
mailing Of newspapers and peri
odicals be increased 100 per cent
over the next three years. The
object is to help wipe ont an esti-
mated annual deficit at the Post
Office of $500 million.
Mr.. Cole said raising the letter
rate a cent would bring in $3.50
million yearly. He said raising
second-class rates 100 per cent
would be ruinous for some maza-
zine publishers and would force
others to use other means of dis
tribution.

Senate Economizers
Promise New Efforts
10 Cut U. 5. Spending
BY the Assoeieisd Press

Senate economizers bounced
back today from a three-vote de-
feat to promise even more vigorous
efforts to cut future Government
spending.
BY 38-to-35 roll-call vote, the
Senate approved and sent to the
House yesterday a bill authorizing
Federal grants to States for local
health centerS.
In the meantime, the Senate
Banking Committee tentatively
approved a SIS billion fund for
insuring defense housing mort
cages. This was just half tie
amount asked by President Tru-
man. Final committee action was
set for Tuesday.
And in the House, q slight TRIM
ming job was done on a big ap-
preparation to run the Treasury
and Post Office Departments for
the year beginning July /. The
Appropriations Committee recon-
mended $2,921 $1,000 for the pur-
pose. This is $36, ,525, 900 less thar
President Truman requested and
$88, ,02l. 800 less than the depart
Iments have for the current fiscal
year.
The health center bill WAS the
same measure the Senate passed
unanimously in the last Congress,
only to see it die in the House.
Sponsors said the bill, which
will have to be followed by direct
appropriations before any funds
can be paid out to States. would
involve at most a yearly Federal
outlay of SIS million to $40 mil
lion.
The measure sets up formula
based on an individual States
population. per capita wealth and
health problems to determine the
amount of Federal grants.
1t would help finance health
centers for diagnosis and rreven-
tion Of diseases, control Of COM
municable diseases, health educa-
ton. sanitation, vital statistics
and the training to public health
personnel.

Educution for Illustration

The news Of this years convention
Of the National Education Association
at San Francisco, and quick review Of
its major resolutions. leaves one with
feeling Of futility and Illustration.
Our educators at all levels realize that
our brain factories" are big business"
now. and they sponsor tacit agreement
to gloss over its faults and vices.
1T has been my observation of some
80 years that a college education is
completely wasted on nine out of ten
students In fact, in most cases, college
education is actually a handicap. It
forces graduates to enter industrial and
commercial competition three or four
years behind their wiser and more prac-
tical schoolmates.
College education as offered today by
our top institutions Of higher learning
obviously does not mature its victims. !"
It merely prolongs and crystallizes their
adolescence and makes them malad-
justed and frustrated for life. This
applies to both men and women.
AS far as I can see. only one person
in ten truly benefits from college. The
others are wasting their parents hard
earned money, wasting their own time
and retarding their own growth.

In theory folk song is-simply a tune
made up by somebody dreaming with
guitar.
After he dies. nobody remembers who
composed the thing, although they all
remember the tune.
Today even folk composers have
things better organized, so that one must
remember the composer now, and that
is as it should be.
AS one by one the old song-makers
drop out Of life, their simple melodies
remain behind them. to cheer the hearts
OF young people.
Today young people need cheering up
in a special way. since their elders have
ordered society for them in which their
main duty is to know how to dig q fox
hole and to get into 1t as quickly as
possible.
For time, in the history of mankind,
we had better way. Why did we
lose it?
We sat on verandas and porches, and
sang the old songs. which were the new
songs. We sang "Oh, Take Me Back,
Back. Back to Baltimore" and beloved

This and That

The popular songs Of nation deserve
more praise than they get.
Many thought this the other day when
they read of the death of Egbert Van
Alstyne, who wrote I'm the Shade of the
Old Apple Tree" and others.
Scarcely recognized among serious"
maker of the first rank.
The simple song patterns he created
met the need of millions of people. They
were bread of the spirit to them.
In, singing Van Alstyne's songs the
people around their planes and on their
porches kept out Of mischief
It was impossible either to do wrong
or think wrong when singing In the
Shade of the Old Apple Tree"
Not that there was any special moral
value In the tune itself. AL good melo-
dies have the same effect.
In listening over the radio to some Of
the congregations singing some Of the
lusty modern hymns, one often thinks.
This is good" The beneficial effects
linger long after the singing is over.
Some of us oldtimers will think those
old songs just q little bit better than
most Of them turned out today.

Perhaps that Is why the old songs
sound best. It makes no differences. A

Many serious composer would give
10 years of his life to be able to do as

might not ever admit it, even to him.

The gift of melody is one Of those
things which help hold the human world
together, for it is no respecter OF ma
tions.
Verdi had the gift, and SO did Arthur
Sullivan.
It is as varied as the simple song by
Van Alstyne and the elaborate sym
phony by Beethoven.
The musical world can no more get
away from it than most living creatures
can from oxygen.
That is why it is terrible thing. now
and then, to hear some one sneering at
the "tunesmiths."
The great musicians knew better. In
the middle of some symphonies q real
tune sounds forth, as If the composer
were thumbing his nose at them.
In one Of the great Bach's trio sonatas
