Blame for the high cost of print paper was placed primarily upon small manu facturers, brokers and1 jobbers, al though publishers themselves were held partly to blame, by witnesses yesterday before a senate ; investi gating committee.'. Curtailed con sumption, in order to break the sprt market pending increased produc tion, was generally advocated as a remedy. Several witnesses were heard by the committee, all of whom virtu ally agreed that reduced, production of paper, due to lack of understands ing by the publishers and manufac turers, together with the rapid in crease in advertising sincf the war, had resulted in a situation of which the brokers and jobbers had taken advantage. Because of the prevail ing high prices, 'the "witnesses said, manufacturers of paper specialties had been enticed into the manufac-- ture of orint paper, which had served to aggravate the situation. The regular paper manufacturers were defended and declared to have been reasonable in making new con tracts. , The 'witnesses, however, urged that newspapers should confine con sumption of paper to 'the amount provided in their contracts and re main out of the open market. M. F. Hanson, general manager of the Philadelphia Record, appear ing for all, the Philadelphia newspa pers, testified that publishers had been victims of "unconscionable profiteering," wjiile W. E. Carpen ter, publisher of the Li n coin (111.) Courier-Herald, said unless relief was provided, without delay, many smaller daily publications would be compelled to suspend. He declared there was plenty of print paper in storage, but it was controlled by about 60 publishing firms and small publishers were unable to reach it. , Missing Girls Found After Search by Boy Scout Troop In a search throughout North' Omaha late Thursday afternoon, Boy Scouts of Troop 57 located Elizabeth Rooney and Marie Jack son, chums, who had been reported missing.
