...enjoying the publicity ... so I'll add to his pleasure by prolonging the controversy. . . . By strange coincidence, when Viskniskki held sway over the efficiency of the New York Journal and the New York American in 1930, paper towels and white soap were eliminated from the wash rooms and newsprint and yellow soap substituted. I wouldn't under any circumstance accuse Mr. Viskniskki of this brilliant piece of economy. I am merely pointing out that possibly the mere appearance of Mr. Viskniskki at any newspaper plant creates a panic in the paper towel department. G. L. CRAIK...
...seven carloads came (as did Lufkin's paper) from a new $6,000,000 newsprint plant, built by Southland Paper Mills, Inc. outside of Lufkin. Southland Paper was financed by sale of $1,742,000 worth of stock (of which Southern newspaper publishers took $425,000) and a $3,425,000 loan from RFC. His publisher-stockholders contracted with President Ernest Lynn Kurth, onetime lumberman, to take his entire output for five years...
Paradoxically, though Lufkin's newsprint sells for only $40 to $50 a ton,* it is harder to make from Southern pine than are more expensive papers. (Texas shortleaf pine yields a newsprint thicker, less pliable than standard newsprint.) Southland's 50,000 tons a year will be no more than a drop in the 3,000,000-ton bucket of the U.

Because there are not enough trees in the South to supply all, or anywhere near all, of the newsprint used by the U. S., and because foreign newsprint is duty-free and hence can go a long way to meet a domestic price, all this failed to alarm Canadian newsprint makers. Meanwhile, the South was already trying for its second newsprint plant. Tennessee Valley Paper Mills, Inc., promised a $2,500,000 loan from RFC, was trying to raise an equal amount from private investors...
