Boxing Monopoly Charged by Jury Cleveland (U.R) A federal Grand Jury today indicted the International Boxing Guild, the Ohio Boxing Guild and three officials of the two organiza tions on restraint of trade charges of the Sherman anti trust act. Named in the single count in dictment were Charles Johnston, New York, president of the IBG; William Daly, Englewood, N.J., general treasurer, and Albert Delmont, Cleveland, president of the Ohio branch of the organiza tion. The Grand Jury had been hearing testimony from boxing officials since last summer. The indictment was the sec ond blow to the IBG in less than two weeks. New York State Box ing Commissioner Julius Helfand ruled earlier his month that managers belonging to the IBG could not operate in New York, precipitating the tug of war that ultimately led to a victory for Helfand. The indictment charged that the IBG violated anti-trust laws by boycotting managers who did not belong to the organization. The first railroad locomotive operated west of the Mississippi river to the Pacific Railroad of Missouri, a- predecessor of the present Missouri Pacific Lines. It made its first run at St. Louis Dec. 9, 1852. Washington U.R) The gov ernment reported today that newsprint supplies for Ameri can newspapers have reached a "dangerously low point." In a special report to a House Newsprint subcommittee, the Commerce department urged in creased experimentation and "perhaps" government help in finding new ways to boost newsprint production. The department' also -recom-mended increasing statistical studies to determine future needs for newsprint well in ad vance, and thus permit time to exDand production. The Forest Products division of the Commerce department made the investigation on which the department based its report. U.S. embassies in 25 countries were cabled for information on foreign newsprint needs and production. "This analysis shows a sub stantial world deficit in news print," the Commerce depart ment said, "and an apparent substantial deficit for U.S. pub lishers for some years to come. At this point there is little knowledge as to how the antici pated deficit after 1958 will be overcome." The 86-page report predicted that smaller daily and weekly newspapers particularly "will be penalized by inadequate sup ply" of newsprint for at least the next few years. The department said that in 1956 world production of news print totalled 12,500,000 tons, a 145,000 ton deficit . in world needs. The U.S. share of the deficit was 100,000 tons. U.S. newspapers had to dip into their inventories of news print to make up this deficit, the report said, and these inventor ies are "now at a dangerously low point and further significant reductions will not be possible."
