New York Publisher Urges Re

papers of Country
Wsshington, May 1. Five and even
ten-eent dnily newspapers wersl, pre
dicted today by FranJLA.' Munsey, New
fork publisher. Appearing before the
Senate committe4nVestigating tho aewx
print paper shortage, ha urged drastic
reduction in the use. of newsprint aad
governmental regulation ' both of the
paper and the wood pulp sources.
William Randolph Hearst, aaotber
New York publisher, in a letter ta tbe
committee, advocated a twenty or
twenty-five per eent eut in the eixe of
newspapers, but said he believed the
time for governmental regulation had
passed.
Mr. Hearst urged publishers to double
both advertising nnd erreulntion rates,
saying such action would automatically
eut down the size and number of copies
without reducing revenue.
The government could , not reduce
newsprint consumption by regulating
the number of page of papers admitted
to the mails, Mr. Munsey told the com-
ittee, becsuse scsreely none of the
large city dsiliea rely for their revenue
on mail circulation.
Both publisher agreed that the great
Sunday editions of the city papers were
important factors in the situation. Mr.
Munsey advocated regulations limiting
the Sunday edition to tha adaa of the
week-day. issue, "not - mas Uan - Zt
pages. Sir. Hearst wrote no nod cot
the size of bis paper 0 aad 25 per eent
without adversely affecting hia revenue
or causing complaint from subscribers.
Co-operation between publisher to
eeoaomixa in th s of print paper
would result "in a total curtailment ot
SO or S3 per eent and would solve th
problem, Mr. Bsarst wrote. Mr. Munsey
took an opposite view. n ot in com
