U. s. Newspapers Gobble
 Up Record Paper Supplies

Consumption of neWsprlnt by US. newspapers jumped 65,000 tons in 1862 to a record high 7,42l,- 900 tons. says Commerce Clearing House.
 This figure represents nearly half the worlds total neWsprint consumption and was reached de- spite prolonged major newspaper strikes in New York City and Cleveland last year.
 In it's review of a special Con- gressional Committee report on world supply and demand for news print, CCH notes that although the US. is far and away the largest consumer, it ranks a distant second to Canada in the amount of an- nual neWsprint production.
 Last year, Canada produced 6.5 million tons of neWsprint compared to US. output of 2.1 million tons. Almost 53 million tons of the Canadian production was imported by US. papers. The only other sub stantial US. supplier was Finland which furnished 83,000 tons for US. needs.
 Scandinavian nations consumed only a little more than 3O0,OOO tons, but they claimed third place in production with almost million tons in 1862.
 Estimates for Communist bloc countries - U.S.S.R., Red China and the satellites, showed a con- tinued reduction in use of news print, totaling 1862 tonnage of 800 million, CCH commented.
 Outlays for newspaper advertis- ing last year reached a record high S3.8 billion, an estimated 31 per cent of the nations total advertis- ing budget, CCH noted.

Editors Bet On Kennedy

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. R - A cross-section of the nations daily newspaper editors feel President Kennedy will win reelection, de- feating Richard Nixon - Repub- ican compromise candidate.
 The editors are in Miami Beach for the Annual Associated Press Managing Editors meeting which started yesterday.
 All but handful of the first 50 arriving felt Kennedy would win reelection. They were questioned by the Miami Herald.
 Nixon was named by 26 of the 50 editors as the probable Repub- lican candidate Sen. Barry Gold water received 12 votes. New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and Mich igan Gov. George Romney received the remaining votes.
 Editors emphasized to the Herald poll taker their selections were based upon their own political esti- nations and not necessarily on their political preferences.

CHICAGO LR Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater says it is President Kennedy, not he, who wants to turn back the clock on economic progress.
 Speaking for the first time since New York's Gov. Nelson Rockc- feller announced for the 1864 Re- publican Presidential nomination GoldWater says his conservative political philosophy does not mean turning the clock back. He adds:
 ''On the contrary, it means look ing ahead to increased individual welfare, opportunity and fulfill ment."
 Goldwater never mentions Rock efeller in an address prepared for the annual meeting of the Chicago Better Business Bureau
 Instead the Arizona Senator plugs his conservative economic views and ties into Kennedy style economics.
 He describes the Kennedy Ad- ministration philosophy as one "that knows only the solutions of the depression days of the sos and will not admit that a new day needs new enterprise"
 Either control of government is returned to the people or the people ultimately must submit to being turned over to the govern ment."
 Under Kennedy, GoldWater says. "politics is badly and seriously ex- ceeding it's prerogative when it

seen the dWarf's sled with many crosspieces, they adopted this model.
 Up to the time when they saw the dwarf people bury their son in a grave box with small articles placed about him, the villagers had always cast their dead out upon the tundra to be the prey of dogs and wild beasts. But hencefortn they buried their dead and ob- served four days of seclusion for mourning, as had been done by the dwarf.
 Since that time the hunters claim that they sometimes see upon the tundra, dwarf people who are said usually to carry bows and arrows, and when approached suddenly disappear in to the ground, and deer hunters often see their tracks near Pikmiktalik mountains. No one has ever spoken to one of these dWarfs since the time they left the village. They are harmless people, never at tempting to do any one an injury.

STORY FROM ST. MICHAEL and PIKMIKTALIK

Very long ago, before we knew of the white men, there was a large village at Pikmiktalik. One winter day the people living there were very much surprised to see a little man and a little woman with a child coming down the river on the ice. The man was so small that he wore a coat made from a single white fox skin. The Woman'S coat was made from the skins of two white hareS, and two muskrat skins clothed the child.
 The old people were about two cubits high and the boy not over the length of ones forearm. Though he was so small, the man was dragging a sled very much larger than those used by the vil- lagers, and he had on 1t a heavy load of various articles. When they came to the village he easily drew his sled up the steep bank, and taking it by the rear and raised it on the sled frame, feat that would have required the united strength of several viii lagers.
 Then the couple entered one of the houses and were made wei come. This small family remained in the village for some time, the man taking his place in the kashim with the other men. He was very fond of his little son, but one day the latter was playing outside the house and he was bitten so badly by savage dog that he died. The father in his anger caught the dog up by the tail and struck it So hard against a post that the dog fell into halves. Then the father in great sorrow made a handsome grave box for his son, in which he placed the child with his toys, after which he returned into his house and for four days did not work At the end of that time he took his sled and with his wife returned up the river on their old trail. while the villagers sorrowfully watched them go, for they had come to like the pair very much.
 Before this time the villagers had always made a bed for their sleds from long strips of wood run hing lengthWise, but after they had
