Latest to drop the newsprint barrier is the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser and Journal. For 30 years, the paper went through the costly routine of stopping its presses on each of seven daily runs, replating one or two pages with Negro news, then starting the presses again. Of 95,000 papers, 75,000 were white, while the rest dropped the financial pages for news of Negro events. When a white edition was inadvertently delivered to a Negro area, claims Publisher Carmage Walls, there were protests. But the split runs "slowed down the operation, and they had to go," said the cost...

As if that were not enough, Stora Kopparberg also manufactures the red paint that covers cottages throughout the picturesque Swedish countryside...
Matter of Time. While lumbermen rejoiced, a chill went through U.S. shipowners. "This is the first breach in the dike." said Pacific Maritime Association President J. Paul St. Sure. Shipping men fear that it is just a matter of time before other industries-sugar, newsprint, iron and steel pipe, petroleum-try for the same concessions. Yet shipowners know that the Jones Act has failed miserably in its effort to isolate U.S. shipping from the inevitable tides of economics...
