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. ' .' . ' r
The recommendation for a re
duction in inventories came from
the newspaper advisory commit
tee to the WPB.
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.
However, the advisory commit
tee made up of newspaper repre
sentatives -estimated the total re-
