Accuses Newspaper

He accused Worrell Newspapers, the firm
that recently purchased The Daily Progress of
"attempting to remold a local paper according
to a chain paper balance sheet."

Financing the newspaper will be "no
problem" according to Mr. Barry because
several wealthy county residents have made
offers to help. He continued to say that the
paper will issue stock to give it local ownership
with as broad a base as possible.

He stated that he decided to establish a
second daily newspaper as soon as the Progress
was purchased by its new owners.
