Papers Question War Restrictions
New York, (INS)—The nation's newspapers are apprehensive of the motives behind some of the war-time restrictions imposed on them, the president of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association asserted today.
In a speech prepared for the opening of the first general session of the ANPA convention in New York, Walter M. Dear,
publisher of the Jersey City (N. J.) Journal, said, "While we must acquiesce in restrictive practices in the name of war necessity, we cannot escape the apprehension that frequently these restrictions are imposed with a motive that does not augur well for the future of a free press. The axiom that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance has lost none of its validity.
News Print Cut
Dear mentioned in particular that the allotment of news print had already been cut once and might be cut again. He added, "With government on one hand imposing restrictive measures in the use of paper because of scarcity and prior demands of war necessities, and with our acquiescence in increased price, it strains the limits of patience to note that the government itself is the principal offender in wasteful practices in the use of paper."
Of the labor situation in the industry he said that publishers have "every reason to regard the future with real concern."
Speaking particularly of the war manpower executive order, Dear asserted, "We do not seek to evade our share of this burden (of increased expense and crippled production) but we cannot refrain from voicing our fears that a too literal interpretation of the war manpower orders would be calamitous through the enforced discontinuance of numerous newspapers."
Dear Calls Appropriation
Turning to a proposal in Congress for an appropriation of 25 to 30 million dollars to be divided between daily and weekly newspapers for treasury advertising, Dear declared, "This provision smacks of subsidy, . . such a program would prove disastrous. Under such circumstances, no longer could the American newspaper maintain its claim of a free and independent press."
Reporting that treasury advertising would be welcomed by the newspapers on the same basis as any other advertising, he continued, "However, government advertising must be safeguarded from political influence and directed by independent advertising experts who have demonstrated their ability and the confidence in which they are held by the newspapers. This may sound Utopian but in our judgment, it is the only fundamentally sound basis on which government advertising can operate."
In addition to the president's report, the convention heard the reports of its special and standing committees and also witnessed presentation of awards in the ANPA monograph contest.

Drugs Comprise Easter Display
A special Easter display of drugs and chemicals mentioned in the Bible will be placed in the window of the Round Corner drug store this afternoon by the chemistry and pharmacy departments of the University. The display will be in the window for one week.
Although J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy, has had similar displays of drugs, and Elvira Weeks, professor of chemistry, has a display of chemicals mentioned in the Bible on display in the chemistry building, this is the first time the two departments have combined their efforts for a public Easter display.
The window will be decorated in purple and white, with candles and palms for special effect. The printing was done by Dorothy Wiggins, fine arts senior.

Washington, (INS)For the first time in history yesterday the President and Vice-President of the United States were out of the country.
Top Executives Tour For Pan-Americanism
Mr. Roosevelt created this latest of a long list of precedent-shattering records when he crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico, while aware that Vice President Wallace was in South America.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull might have been acting president for a few hours except for the fact that Mr. Roosevelt remained in constant touch with the white house in Washington.
Government Proceeds As Usual
President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in Mexico as the guest of President Manuel Avila Comacho of that nation. Vice-President Henry A. Wallace was in South America on a good-will tour. would succeed to the presidency if both dewnt
The business of government went on as usual in the capital. Neither the president nor Wallace forfeited the power to direct their offices. Nominally, a secretary of state
would succeed to the presidency if both the president and vice-president were unable to perform the duties of the first office of the land.
Constitutional and legal experts explained, however, that there was nothing in the law of succession of 1886 to prevent Mr. Roosevelt or Wallace from leaving the country, and still holding their offices.
President Leaves Surreptitiously
There was no outward show at the White House that the president was gone until it was announced that he was speaking in Monterrey, 1,800 miles from "home." The same number of soldiers were on duty at the executive mansion, and a person strolling down Pennsylvania Ave. rue could not tell whether the president was in or out.
