October 21, IS43 Publishers Oppose Cut In Newsprint WASHINGTON, Oct 2HVA committee representing the news paper industry differed with war production - board officials . today on the question whether newsprint consumption should be subjected to a further cut of 16 per fent in November and December to avoid -a possible larger cut later on. Opposing a cut in the next two months, the committee recom mended instead that Inventories of prinf paper, or reserve stocks, be reduced by about 40,000 tons "a month. : t Declaring that consumption Is now greater than the output of print paper, ,WPB had said there were two choices: to cut consump tion again or reduce inventories. It urged the former course." 1 Newspapers already have - cur tailed consumption with many limiting advertising and circula tion. ' .' .

Half of the reduction, the com mittee urged, should be brought about by a mandatory cut in the inventory ceilings, applicable to all newspapers, and the other half would be obtained through volun 'tary reductions by the .larger newspapers. The further depletion of inven tories was recommended despite advice from H. M. Bitner, director of the war production board's printing and publishing division, that further exhaustion of inven tory supplies would be "danger ous. He advised the committee to recommend an additional 16 per cent cut in newsprint con sumption, effective November 1.
