Pine paper plant fuels Southern newsprint drive
The Coosa River mill near Childresburg Alabama uses Southern pine to produce newsprint, aiming to reduce Northern paper reliance. The $32 million plant will churn about 300 tons daily, consuming over 230000 cords of wood yearly and employing hundreds, with railroads and utilities supporting the operation. The project traces to 1930s ideas and revived postwar, transforming regional pulp manufacture and prospects for a Southern paper industry.

Anti Red Bill Looms As Truman Considers Veto
Washington news: a stifling Communist bill clears Senate 70 to 7 and heads to a conference. It mixes internment, registration, bans on government jobs and passports, new sabotage laws, deportation tools, and bans on conspiracies for a totalitarian dictatorship. President Truman signals likely veto or modify, while House aims to pass its own registration measure. The plan includes bold changes and a Senate vote party-line split with 7 Democrats against it. In other dispatches, Russia announces a vast irrigation project north of the Persian border to bring 20 million more acres under cultivation in Central Asia.
