C I11CUL.ITIO N
The circulation for the month of November decreased 4.1% under the same
month in 1962. fart of this probably is due to the loss of one day's circulation
at the time of the President"s funeral. However, the daily average circulation
was one greater than for November. 1962 11131 over 11600
In light of the increase in registration, it is hard to account for the present
static circulation.
