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.

It made its first run at St. Louis

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."
