Calls Plan ‘Subsidy’

The stand of the American Newspaper Publishers association was summed up in a report by President Walter M. Dear, which said: “While we have the deepest sym-. pathy for any of our fellow publishers who may find the going| difficult, and realize the value and importance of the weekly press, we cannot subscribe to the wisdom of accepting a subsidy. Such a program woild prove disastrous. Under such circumstances, no longer could the American newspaper maintain

Mr. Bankhead, however, declared that the “overwhelming majority of the newspapers in the nation” are - for the bill “The big papers who are making 80 much money, are against it,” he said. “Prankly, my chief motive is to bring about a better advertising situation in the small town newspapers. “Half the population live in towns

An estimated 11 million dollars was contributed by business in advertising to the second war loan and the recently over-subscribed third war loan obtained; free of charge, the equivalent of 50,000 full page newspaper ads. The total of time, space and service contributed to war campaigns last year is estimated at 250 million dollars. The campaigns have been handled through normal advertising channels. Weekly and other small newspapers, however, protested that the newspaper advertising went chiefly to the larger dailies and meant no benefit to them. .
