Adams, president of the St. Regis Paper Company charged that every kind of con verier of our product can make more money by frightening us into lower prices for his raw material than he can by going out and selling his product with more ingenuity.

Warren Com pany, asserted that when the industry took the attitude that it would not be willing to lose any business were being control! ed by outside factors.

Olmstead said that when the paper mills insisted on run ning their mills full regardless our competitors are setting our prices. Our customers are setting our price. The operating rate is setting our price. In addressing a luncheon of the American Paper and Pulp Association, both executives resorted to forceful language at times, to make their point. There were several hundred top industry executives present Adams told his audience that our whole attitude toward pricing is almost juvenile, while Olmstead declared that because of the industrys pricing policies, the financial world thinks we're a hunch of dumb clucks.

D. Warren by $15 a ton. The presidents of several of the industrys other leading firms, however, were not yet certain as to whether, they would join the band wagon. U.S. Staff Forced Out KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) -The U.S.
