Plcrcerville Lumber Co. Opercrtions Stcrt

Owing to the absence of snow below the 6,000-ft. elevation, the Placerville Lumber Company" Placerville, Calif., is opening their three sawmills, together with all woods opefations, with a full crew of man, at least three weeks earlier than in any previous year.

This announcement came from Harvey West, partner of the firm, who stated that present plans call for the same lumber production as for the 1946 season, which was 45 million feet. The company is cutting 350M board feet of lumber a day.

Lloyd Beam is in charge of all logging operations; Jim Hinds, superintendent of sawmills, and Ernst Oppenheim' er, office manager. Four hundred men are employed in all departments, including the sawmills, logging operations and the remanufacturing plants at Smith Flat, with an annual pbyroll of approximately one million dollars.

Washington, D.C., May 10-The Senate is now being asked to consider passage of the highly inflationary TaftEllender-Wagner Bill, while at the same time the President and Congress are seeking means of halting inflation, H. R. Northup, secretary-manager, National Retail l-umber Dealers Association, commented today.

The inconsistency of this procedure is so marked that even Senator Taft, chief proponent of the bill, has voiced a doubt as to its final passage, he continued.

There are three ways in which this bill 'lr'ill stimulate inflation in the housing field, Northup explained.

1. It proposes putting Government public housing programs in competition with private industry for available local supplies of materials and labor;

2. ft encourages thousands who normally would wait, to immediately borrow money for the purpose of building new homes.now;

3. It prciposes a Government expenditure of over $7 billion in the housing field at a time when the national debt is gouging approdmately $6 billion annually from taxpayers merely to pay interest, and at a time when our ioreign commitments may require unknown billions of dollars for an indefinite period of time.

"The T-E-W Bill proposes this huge expenditure without guaranteeing to the American public one additional house more than the private building industry would normally build anyway," Northup declared.

But requiring even closer consideration is the manner in whic[ it tends to deprive Americans of their personal liberties, Northup pointed out. Social segregation of individuals according to income groups has never been a part c-,f the American system of Government; yet vast public housing projects for housing low-income groups would have exactly that effect and stimulate class distinction.

Furthermore, no government has within its grasp the power to bestow food, clothing, or shelter upon its citizcns, unless its citizens first produce those items and turn them over to the government for re-distribution, Northup continued.

Is it not clear, then, Northup questioned, that this transfcr of property demands also the relinquishment of person:rl liberty? For, in effect, under the T-E-W Bill the government through taxation seizes the money with which to buy the houses it desires to re'distribute.
