Deep South Wants
Paper Industry
WASHING TON, (A*)—E. A.
Charlton of New York advised
Congress yestei’day to look to the
deep south, rather than to Alaska,
for new newsprint and paper sup
plies.
Charlton told a special House
committee headed by Rep. Clar
ence J. Brown (R-Ohio) that the
experience of the United States
foiest service in wood plantations
in the south indicates the advisa
bility of further studies in that
area.
Speaking for the Leesville-Ver
non Parish chamber of commerce,
Leesville, La., Charlton said:
“If half the fox*est lands of
Texas alone followed the planting
practices of the United States for
est service, enough pulpwood
would be produced to service the
entire needs of the entii'e south.”
He referred to current sugges
tions that Alaskan forests be de
veloped to produce paper and
pulpwood and said surveys show
there would be a production cost
differential of “conservatively $10
per ton in favor of the south.”

Navy Budget
(By William F. Arbogust)
WASHINGTON, (fl»)-An 11 per
cent cut in the navy’s 1948 bud
get which may necessitate reduc
ing the planned strength of the
navy and marine corps by 40,000
officers and men was recommend -
| ed by the House appropriations
I committee today.
The committee chopped $377,
519,000 from the $3,513,000,300 in

major differences—“2Vi cents an
hour and six paid holidays’—re
mained when negotiations broke
off.
