Newsprint Controls Lifted Dec 31 Amid Short Supply
Washington announces lifting of newsprint use controls on Dec 31 though supply remains tight. CPA forecasts about 1,885,000 tons available to U S publishers in early 1946, about 94 percent of 1941 first-half levels, sufficient to revoke rationing per industry recommendations. ANPA backs a 30 percent reserve pool to keep papers publishing if shortages recur. If voluntary plan fails, government may reinstate controls.

Injunction Halts ICC Rate Order in New York State
A three judge federal court granted a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of an ICC order that would raise interstate freight rates by about 10 percent in the north and east while lowering them similarly in the south and west. Northeastern states argued the ICC acted arbitrarily. Judge Stephen W. Branham of Utica, joined by Circuit Judge Harrie B. Chase and District Judge John C. Knox, said there were grounds to doubt the order’s justification and that the present rates should remain in effect pending final trial. The court noted higher rates would harm industry and consumers and risk unemployment. The injunction prevents enforcement pending suit resolution. Governor Dewey praised the ruling as protecting New York’s economy.
