sion, if not existnee, unless tru nevvs

i rosentativo Anthony, Republican of
' Kansas, told the postoiTieo commit
tee today in urji.in.ii,- action on his bill
; to limit to 1 pages papers and mag
; azines enjoying second class postal
; privileges.
The present acufe paper shortage,
1k said, is duo .to the larger size of
; the big city dailies and some maga
; dues. The larger papers, he added,
; could eliminate 50 pags of feature,
comics and such stuff without loss to
the public. The advertisements can
he cut down, he said.
j Jason Rogers, publisher' of the
; Now York Globe, speaking in favor
i of the bill, declared that some nevvs
' papers wore profiteering at the ex-
pense of the others by publishing large
editions and carrying great quantities
of advertising. Small city and coun-
i try newspapers, he said, ''simply ean
; not get mvsprint, and the big fellows
