Slocum, general manager of the Philadelphia Evening Bule tin and member of the newspaper1 advisory committee to the WPB.

Slocum strongly urged action by i the publishing industry to conserve; newsprint, warning that further re-. auctions of- allotments to papers, are probable and also that changes are anticipated in the pres ent method of curtailment which limits papers to 90 per cent of-1941 consumption. The PNPA wartimes conference set up a committee to work out conservation policy for submission to the WPB. Members appointed dv Konana l. Adams or trie Beth lehem- Globe-Times, who presided at the session, are John E.

Pepson, Williamsport Sun-Gazette; William D. Mansfield, McKeesport Daily News; and Col. J. Hale Ste: Lancaster newspapers. Mansfield offered the resolution for creation of the group which was instructed to "set forth that we favor the 1918 jlan of curtailment which includes elimination of extra- quota tonnage (now granted on: appeals) where newspapers allow returns (of unsold papers) and other circulation abuses." In addition to outlawing returns find reducing newspaper stocks on hand, the 1918 formula provided for reduction of newsprint use by cut ting uie number of columns of reading matter'.
