Loud was the outcry of U. S. newspaper publishers when Canadian papermakers, prodded by provincial government officials, announced they would have to charge $5 more than $55.20 per ton (the present price) for newsprint (TIME, Dec. 9 et seq.). The American Newspaper Publishers Association made the threatening gesture of inviting Federal investigation. They also made the conciliatory gesture of inviting a committee of the Newsprint Institute of Canada to meet with them in Manhattan and talk things over.

...count them too. All other pool games-cowboy, rotation, kelly-are variations of this Green game, but experts shun them.

Piloted by Dieudonné ("Doudou") Costes and his companion Paul Codos, it made its way over flat-roofed, smelly Marseilles, to time-broken Avignon, to musty Narbonne, and then over the same route again. For 52 hours and 34 minutes the Breguet's motor snorted along. Then with a last puff and snort, the ship touched ground gently at her starting point...
