COMPARATIVE COSTS
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Newspaper Htibscription and advertising rates have
declined materially when contrasted proportionately with
public earning power and growing readership.
This fact is pointed out in an interestinjr manner hy
The Orennniaii. The Portland newspaper, celebrating its
100th year, goes back into its early history for illustra
tions. It is pointed out editorially in The Orryoiiiunlhtf its
subscription rates have increased only '25 percent since
1881 when the Sunday edition was started, yet in those
days a person could buy a suit of clothes at from $15 to
$20; chicken dinner for 50 cents: ham and eggs, 20 cents;
porterhouse steak, 50 cents. All of these prices are up
four or five times from the 1881 figure, although the news
paper has advanced only slightly in cost, while giving
much larger volume of news, more pages, features,
comics, advertising and service.
Checking back on advertisements and news items ot
the 1881 period, The Orftnuinn finds that laborers were
paid S40 to $50 per month; that they worked 26 days per
month, an average of 10 hours per day.
The worker could, of course, buy food and clothing
for much less money than at present. I!i;t in 1881 he
worked four hours or more to pav for his newspaper at
the then prevailing monthly rate, while, now he works ls
than an hour to pay for his subscription. .
"The subscriber gets a bigger, better paper for fewer
hours of work," The Orr.gnnian points out.
Advertising Costs Go Down
The Orepniiiini does not refer to the cost of advertising
to the firm buying display .(pace, but here the co.t, in
relation to today's dollar, is even more marked.
Advertising rates in late years have made only minor
increases, while the retail price of the merchandise or
service advertised has, in most cases, more than doubled
Newspaper readership, at the same time., is the high
est in history. Furthermore, people today read their news
papers more thoroughly for news, information and enter
tainment. When cost of display advertising is calculated
on a per-rcader basis, the pcr-inch. per-reader advertising
cost has dropped tremendously, rather than increased.
Increases Now In Progress
Newspapers generally are raising subscription and ad
vertising rates. Small advances are contemplated hy The
Ncws-Rcvirw. But in no instance are rate increases by
newspapers proportionate , to increased public earning
, power. Advertising rates, based on circulation, actually
are. less,. despite the dollar raise.
Newspaper costs are steadily" rising. The industry
pays on the average a higher rate of wages in its me
chanical departments than any other industry. Annual
wage increases have bficn demanded and granted. Wave
increases in other industries from which the newspaper
buys are reflected in cost of all machinery, equipment
and supplies. Newsprint has been steadily going up in
price, A sharp increase was made by. paper manufactur
ers recently. To meet higher production costs, newspapers
must raise rates and are doing so throughout the country.
The defense emergency is creating difficult conditions
for newspapers. Men are being taken from all depart
ments to serve1 in military forces. Machines and mate
rials are getting in short supply. Paper mills report that
newsprint quotas are to be closely applied.
Newspaper management is facing many difficult prob
lems. These problems force upward revision of circula
tion and advertising rates. Yet the increase is still not
proportionate . to advances in cost of other commodities;
and services. '

WASHINGTON It's
United Nations is completely Communist dominated. A
realistic appraisal of Soviet control of the UN can be
obtained, however, by looking at the facts.
Files of the central intelligance agency in Washington
contain, proof that representatives of 32 members of the
United Nations are engaged in espionage work for their
governments. i .
The same files reveal that 29 o(
these individuals are high-ranking
officials of Communist parties in
foreign countries, now working at
UN headquarters in New York.
Twenty-one of the 29 are en
gaged in active Communist organ
ization work of an underground or
subversive nature in the U. S. Out
of the total of 32 representatives
of foreign nations, who came to
the UN with Instructions from their
Communist controlled government

the CIA, are beginning to weaken

They are still at the UN, at a
time when American parents witn

Congress Leaders
Rap Higher Items
For Non-Defense
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON iB-Most con
gressional leaders have endorsed
President Truman's budget pro
posal for pay-as-you-go financing
of military outlays but some of
them sharply criticized increases
in non-defense spending.
The president proposed a
594,000,000 budget for the year be
ginning July 1, with $41,421,000,
woo going into direct military out
lays. Senator Bridges of New Hamp
shire, top republican on the senate
appropriations committee, said in
a statement he is "shocked to find
that the President's 1951 budget
provides for the 'fair deal' under
the guise of defense spending."
"It is even more shocking to
find that instead of cutting non-defense-
items the president act.
ually asks congress to provide in
creased amounts for non-essential
programs," Bridges said.
