BROWN'S CAFE & BILLIARDS
Washington, Dee. 20. (U.FD
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of
the war production board today
formally announced further re
ductions in the use ot paper for
newspapers, magazines, books
and commercial printing in
"full scale attempt" to adjust
the supply situation with re
quirements. , The new. cuts, which will be
come effective Jan. 1, are ex
pected to save more than 1,250,
000 tons of paper a year, he said.
In each case, the curtailments
are In accordance with recom
mendations submitted to WPB
by industry advisory committees
representing the respective in
dustries. Nelson said the hew regular
Hons will bring consumption In
the four industries substantially
into balance with the pulp sup
plies which will be made avail
able to them under the new allo
cation program. He said it would
arrest the sharply declining in
ventories in these industries.
Under the new orders, large
publishers and printers will
have their consumption reduced
about 25 per cent from their
base period usage, with a sliding
scale of proportionately lighter
cuts for the smaller business
units.
