Curtailment Of Output Of Paper Likely
Washington October 28. Curtailment of newsprint and other paper production appeared likely today due to shortages of electric power manpower and transportation. E W Palmer deputy chief of the War Production Board said the advisory council discussed possible percentage cuts and a freezing of paper production may be necessary. A proportional cut across all publishing would come first with further reductions by branch based on civilian morale and war effort. Canada will similarily govern newsprint output after November 1 to allocate tonnage.
