Redwood Operators Break Off Negotiations How Lumler Looks ' Announce Opening of Mills

In a statement addressed to the Redwood District Council of Lumber & Sarvmill Workers, P. O. Box 391, Eureka, Calif., on July 1 the Redwood Industrial Relations Committee announced that lumber mills in Humboldt and Mendocino Counties rvill resume operations shortly, with or without the cooperation of the unions, and that all offers of strike settlement u'ere withdrawn, and all contracts between the various local unions and the companies were cancelled pursuant to the termination clause of such contracts, r

The statement said that old employees who care to return to work will be welcomed back, union and non-union employees alike, until such time as crews have been filled, and that thereafter old employees will be returned to their jobs only as openings become available.

The statement concluded: "\Mages will be at the old rates plus 20 cents per hour for all employes, plus the additional increases in various skilled jobs, and other conditions, as set forth in our offer of Jane 17.

"Frankly recognizing the hopelessness of a negotiated settlement so long as you insist upon union shop, we assure you of our willingness to resume negotiations whenever you desire."

In their reply on the same date the Redwood District Council of Lumber & Sawmill Workers said they had been instructed to reaffirm their position that they will not return to work unless they get union shop.

Lumber shipments of.4l9 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer were 3.0 per cent above production for the week ended June 29, 1946, accotding to the statistical division of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. In the same week new orders of these mills rvqre 2.1 per cent below production. Unfilled order files oI the reporting mills amounted to 81 per cent of stocks' For reporting softwood mills, unfilled orders are 'equivalent to 2& days'-production at the current rate, and gross stocks are equivalent to 33 days' production.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended June D,96 mills reporting, gave orders as 59,772,000 feet, shipments &,420,m feet, and production 68,712,0N feet' Oqders on hand at the end of the week totaled 238,243W feet.

"Holding The Line"

Saint Paul, Minn., July l,1946.

To All Employees:

The following is a statement which Mr. F. K. Weyerhaeuser gave in an interview with the local papers, which states our price position:

"Mr. F. K. Weyerhaeuser, president of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, states this morning that the following instructions have been wired to all sales offices of the company:

'You will continue for the present to sell on the basis of our June 30 price lists, which were at or under OPA ceilings. You will also continue to distribute our products to regular customers, paying no attention to price offers over published lists.'

"Mr. 'Weyerhaeuser further states that the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company does not expect to make any advance in its price averages unless circumstances beyond the company's control, including increased costs, compel such action."

You may give such publicity as you wish to the above statement, which we think is a very important one at this time.

HARRY T. KENDALL

Lumber prices probably will not be changed materially, C. H. Kreienbaum, president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, said in a statement issued at Seattle.

"The danger of runaway prices is well recognized and I believe the challenge of President Truman to business to maintain reasonable prices will be accepted by the individual operators of the West Coast lumber industry. There probably will be some gouging by the irresponsible opportunists, but on the whole I do not expect any material changes in present lumber price levels."

S. V. Fullaway, Jr., Portland, Ore., secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association, in a bulletin to his members warned that spiraling prices would bring chaos to

the industry and said that "the Western pin€ industry made an enviable record, under terrific handicap, in meeting wartime requirements for lumber. It will meet this present test by common sense restraint."

No price increase is anticipated in the Northwest's plywood industry, according to Thomas B. Malarkey, Portland, Ore., president of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

"I am confident this industry will not adopt the 'shortsighted policy of pyramiding plywood prices," Mr. Malarkey said.

"We are hopeful this view will be shared by others, whose materials and labor make up the cost of our product' Only through such similar attitude' and identical action can we, or any other industry, hold the price line," he stated.

Robert J. Wright, Fresno, Calif., executive vice president of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, in a bulletin to its members stated:

"Conversations with members throughout Northern California indicate that there is a strong feeling.among dealers that they will 'hold the line' on prices so far as it is' possible."

The Southern Pine Industry Committee, New Orleans, La., in a letter to Southern pine manufacturers, states: "We are able to report that the attitude seems to be in favor of holding prices as near to the existing level as possible. At the same time, the manufacturers we have contacted express the hope that it will be possible to restore the relationships between items, sizes, and grades that existed before the advent of price control. It is felt that such adjustments are necessary to increase the supply of housing construction items which are so critically needed now to assure a greater degree of success to the National Housing Program."

Resolution Pcrssed by The Southern Ccrlilornict Betcril Lumber Associqtion

WHEREAS; price control by Federal Larv rvas permitted to terminate at midnight on June 30, 1946, by Presidential veto of the "extension of the Emergency Price Control Act and Stabilization Act" which hdd been passed by a majority vote of both the Senate and House of the United States 79th Congress and sent to the White House for signature; and

WHEREAS; the Lumber Industry played a leading part, prewar, in building and maintaining a sound economy rn'ithin the nation: and

WHEREAS; rve believe wholeheartedly in the free corrrpetitive enterprise system which, prewar' made this country what it is today; and

WHEREAS; rve concur in the belief expressed by responsible leaders of industry and business that "unrealistic price controls during the transition period from war to peace have retarded production of lumber and allied products that have been, and are now, critically short in the domestic market and are needed urgentlv, among other things, for home, agricultural and industrial construction and uses"; and

WHEREAS; we firmly believe that industry and business will keep this country on an even keel under a free competitive economy and do, quickly and more efficiently, a job that everybody knows should have been done, and that nor,v remains to be done, which a controlled econorny precluded them from doing.

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED; that we, as a representative body, do hereby accept the challenge and re-

sponsibility in behalf of the 492lumber dealers in Southern

RES.LVED; that we do hereby condemn and do not condone the past, present or future practice of any person or persons either within or without the industry-

(a) who takes advantage of any person or persons during .an enlergency by obtaining or attempting to obtain an unreasonable margin of profit on the goods they sell or on the services they render; or

(b) r,vho will{ully or knowingly commits or attempt to commit any act or deed which would have the effect of bringing about further inflation.

For many centuries, men had dreamed of flying, had built, experimented and failed. Then, on December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur W'right wheeled a strange-looking machine onto the bleak sands of Kitty Hawk, warmed up its tiny engine and flew. In that same tradition, American industry today is advancing knowledge in a thousand fields to make possible better living for everyone.

At U.S.G, one of the world's finest research laboratories is constantly seeking better and safer ways to make building materials. The new, quality products developed by U.S.G scientists are then passed on to you. That means better business for you, better living for your customers.

They went with songs to the battle, They were young; Straight of limb, true of eye, Steady and aglow. They were staunch to the endAgainst odds uncounted.

. They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall not grow old, As we that are left, grow old. Age shall not weary them, Nor. the years condemn. At the going down of the sun . And in the morning, We shall remember them.

-Laurence BinYon. **:Nr

At the going down of the sun and in the morning may be all right for remembering those who are gone; but right now, and for some'time to come, we must give a lot more time ihan that to remember those who came back. I hear and read things that make me sad. "Lest we forget," was said in vain in thousands of cases. I fear. When "The MacArthur" said to us over the radio: "I am sending them back; take care of them," he was looking ahead. We ARE doing a much better job than we did after World War I. But suppose we one and all take a new oath of helpfulness to the men who came back from "over there." Helpfulness is one of ,the most God-like virtues. And when it applies to returned service men. it is ten times that.

I would like to write about what the present OPA situation has done and is doing, but it is difficult for the reason that by the time this reaches its readers, everything may be changed. As I write, the fight over restoring OPA goes on in Congress, and what will develop, no rnan knows.

But whatever comes ; ;, ;a whatever devetops economically and financially, I can find in my heart lut one feeling with regard to the now deposed bureau, and that is that it was damned by maladministration rather than by inherent unworthiness. Like other governmental things, could it have been administered by men of the utmost wisdom, it could have been all right; but even then, only as a ternporary expedient between wartime and peacetime. Under no possible considerations could the bulldog determination of its recent managers to make ii a,permanent part of our life, have been justified.

**:N.

If I had my say about it at this moment, perhaps I would

restore rent controls. Certainly I would restore nothing else. But even rent control needs to be administered intelligently and practically. And the recent management of OPA seemed incapable of intelligent and practical action on any subject. There are millions of cases where rent con' trol creates hardship because the rents are too LOW,. as everyone. in every community knows. Wise men could adjust such matters. And if they are not \,eise, they should have no control power over anything.

What a relief it was, two days after OPA ended on June 30th, to see choice cuts of meat in the markets. The only kind of rneat that has been displayed in most markets for many rnonths has been the kind which, in the old days, you would have fed to your pet dog with apologies. They tell me the price has gone up on these cuts. But you CAN get them, and you couldn't before.

In his fireside speech on June 29th, President Truman took the matter of motor cars to show how badly OPA is needed. He said that under the Case Bill which he had just vetoed, the lower price cars would have gone up perhaps $225 to $250 each. Nothing he ever said illustrated his lack of understanding of what goes on, more than that statement. You would think from that remark that you can buy a car at ceiling prices today. WHERE CAN I GET ONE, MR. PRESIDENT? I can buy all the new cars f can raise money to pay for today. But they cost at least a thousand dollars above the ceiling. What good does it do to keep the ceiling prices down, if you can't get a car? But there are plenty of cars available in the Black Market every hour of the day. But the man who can't or won't pay Black Market prices, can't even get a promise of acar' * * d(

A newspaper reporter just returned from Mexico reports that you can bu.y all the Fords and Chevrolets you want in Mexico for about $tgOO each. That's less than I've been offered one for in this country; a lot less. The windows of the reputable new car dealers are empty. But the used car lots burgeon and bloom with new cars; at a price. ***

OPA higher-ups have been telling us that whenever the supply of something reaches a level with demand, controls will be released. The oil business proves how false that statement is, for oil production-even with proration in some of the largest supplying fields-has been grqater than demand for months past. Yet, every suggestion that oil be released from controls, meets with denial

I have seen a candy store that has been in business for mhny years, struggling for existence under an OPA ruling that they must charge no more for their candy than they did before the war, and all around them new candy shops do a thriving business selling candy that nobody even claims is better than that of the old store, at about 250 per cent higher prices than the old store can charge.

Every business -"r, ,o,l-l.r]r"*"rdless of his line, can tell you stories of that sort with regard to his own industry. The layman hears such things and naturally doubts their truth. He does not understand how such things can be. But they Are, everywhere, under this strange form of government they call bureaucracy.

In the building material line take flooring as an example. We have a fooring famine, simply because under OPA rules the material required to make flooring can be cut into other items to much greater financial advantage. A mill that cuts softwood flooring, does so at a great loss. Fir and Southern Pine mill men have been telling the authorities that they would have to have from fifteen to twentyfive dollars above the recent ceiling to enable them to turn their materials into flooring. Under OpA there is no sane relationship between the ceiling prices on various items, grades, and sizes, such as existed before price control. Those relationships should be renewed the minute sanity returns to the .lumber business to stay.

"We have held the line on prices," President Truman said in that radio address. Yes, sir, we sure have. And we have effectually stopped production, stopped distribution, and stopped initiative. To all practical purposes the line they held on innumerable of the necessities of American life means nothing, because the supply is nothing-or close to it. The line they have held is the emptiest line in history.

What effect of the sudden termination of OPA controls has been on the lumber industry, is easily told. Up to this minute the whole irldustry is sitting tight, playing a waiting game, and watching to see what will happen. From the Pacific Northwest and from the Southern Pine argas generally, comes the same report. Instead of rushing into contract for lumber orders at higher prices, as had been predicted by the apostles of despair, the mills have been holding back their sales to see what will happen next. The rush for higher prices has never developed. In the South hundreds of important mills are out of the market entirely. The same can be said generally about the retail yards, according to reports at this moment. They have held the price line, and are watching developments.

I am going to quote from a letter written by a friend of mine in whose judgmerrt I have the greatest faith. He is a high executive in a big industrial institution. I{e recently returned from a trip over the industrial North and East, and he wrote a letter to his firm about what he learned. I got a copy of the letter. It tyls written, understand,

several days before the sudden demise of OpA, so no regent matters enter into his findings. Here is what he said in two of 'his paragraphs: :B*{<

"I have cortrpleted the projected 4,ffi0 miles trip to the important industrial centers of our Northern and Eastern states, visiting. Chicago, Milwaukeb, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and New York. Many industrial plants, and, unfortunately, many of our suppliers, are closed down or only working part time, due to shortages of coal, steel, pig iron, labor, governmental interferences of one sort or another, and many other besetting evils. Work stoppage in steel mills and coal mines will be felt by the whole country for an indefinite period, some think for many years. The loss of six million tons of steel cannot be laughed ofi, and nine million tons of coal production represents an irreparable loss to the country. Management in some of our, great industrial plants have exhausted all ingenuity to keef go_ irg. In many cases they have concluded to discontinue production until the "o"":tr*:oTes to its senses.

"The sad thing, to my mind, is the apparent attitude of the average working man. In so many of them ambition and the desire to get ahead and willingness -to work has been destroyed by unemployment compensation, and by the influence of labor leaders intoxicated by their go*r"rrr_ ment-supported power. The wheels of industry arl slo*_ ly but surely grinding to a stop; and it is a pitiful thing in a land which produced so much for war and is capable of producing so much for peace.,' Coming from one oJ tne most optimistic industriarists that r know, this is hard talk. :f:t*

The other day President Tru,man signed the Hobbs Bill. He had vetoed it once, when it was part of the Case Bill. Coming to him as a separate Bill, he took a long time to study it, then signed it WITH A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO UNION LABOR. Think of that! And all in the world the Hobbs Bill says is that no citizen, regardless of affiliation, is exempt from the criminal statutes covering the crimes of extortion and highway robbery. yet, it was ' signed with apologies.

He Knew Willie

My friend Al Koelzer, a first rate teller of stories in his own right, sends in this one:

A bunch of colored country boys were bragging about their hunting dogs. One of them was high on his dog, Willie. "Willie," he said, "got a di,ffunt way of barkin' fo' eve'y thing he trees. Yassuh. No matter how far off Willie is got somethin' treed, I kin telt Jes' egsackly whut Willie got by the way he barks."

The gang didn't believe anything of the sort, and said so, and to settle the matter they went out in the woods that night to find out. His owner turned Willie loose, and he disappeared in the dark woods. Soon his voice rang out a short distance away, and one of the crowd asked: ..Whut

In the Northwest

George Melville, Simpson Industries, Inc., and Bill Fahs, California Panel & Veneer Co., Los Angeles, are in the Northwest on a combined business and pleasure trip.

INSECT SCREEN CLOTH

Willie got now?" The dog's owner said: "Willie got a coon." So they ran down there, and sure enough, Willie had a coon treed. So he was sent out again, and soon was baying off in the woods.

They tried it the third time, and this time Willie's owner announced he had a fox, and when they got there, that's what Willie had.

So they gave him one more trial, and soon Willie's voice came from the woods, but this time it was a wild and mighty roar. "\il'hut Willie got now?" asked the audience. The owner said: "Willie ain't got nuthin'now; SOMETHIN'S GOT IVILLIE!"

E.

Difford, Managing Director of Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Resigns

W. E. Difford, managing director of Douglas Fir Plyurood Association for the past eight yearsduring rvhich period aggressive promotion established plywood as a basic building material and the Pacific Northwest panel manufacturing industry tripled in size to supply the expanded marketleft .f the trade-promotion organization July 1.

This was announced by E. W. Daniels, president of Harbor Plywood Corp. of Hoquiam, Wash., and chairW. E. Dilford man of the industry management committee. "It is with deep and sincere regret over his departure and great appreciation for his invaluable services for the past eight years that Mr. Difford's resignation is reluctantly accepted by the committee," Mr. Daniels saida prepared statement.

At the same time, the management committee named llarrison Clark of Tacoma, assistant to N{r. Difford, as acting managing director under tl-re direct and immediate supervision of the management committee pending the selection of a managing director b1' the members of the industry.

Signal honor was paid to Mr. Difford's effective sales promotion methods in 1940 when the American Trade Association Executives Arn'ard was presented to Douglas Fir Plywood Association for "outstanding service to its industty."

When he became head of the plyu'ood industry trade association early in 1938, the 23 Oregori and Washington factories were producing at about 500 million square feet a year. Nor'v, the volume is more than tr,vice as great and, were current log shortages relieved, would equal or surpass the record output of a billion eight hundred million square feet established in 1942. The industry employs 10,000 lvorkers at-an average hourly u,age of $1.23.

Prior to 1938, in most areas plywood was considered only a building specialty; now (though currently supply is critically short) it is recognized as a basic commodity for construction of homes, farm buildings, boats, railroad cars, furniture and concrete forms. It is sold through 22,0W retail lumber dealers in every corner of the nation.

Throughout the war, the entire production of the ply'ivood industry went directly to the military or to firms supplying the Army and Navy. The panels gained wide publicity because of their use in tl.rpedo boats, portable hutments and shipping containers. Actually, however, the industry was reared to its present stature prior to Pearl Harbor. Now, plywood is again under government allocation because it is vitally needed to activate the national housing program for veterans.

Crux of Mr. Difford's plywood promotion was the enlisting of all panel distributors, lumber dealers and building materials specifiers as salesmen for the product. This involved, first, the establishment of rigid performance standards for the various grades of panels and industry inspection to assure uniform high quality of plywood from ar-ry and all manuJacturers. Grade marks, established through the U. S. Department of Commerce, wer€ inaugurated and all panels marked for ready identification.

Then, an aggressive national advertising and promotion campaign, telling hort to use plywood for better construction, was undertaken. It was directed squarely at lumber dealers, architects and builders-those who sell or recomnrend the material to ultimate customers.

His immediate objective upon becoming steward of the pl1'rvood association was the creation of an all-year demand for plywood in contrast to the seasonal sales spurts and slumps which had previously harassed manufacturers. A "full order file" 'ir,'as realized early in 1939, with production already increased 50 per cent, and since then supply has never fully caught up rvith demand.

Recognized as a "doctor of sick businesses," Mr. Difiord had "cured" the economic ills of several large firms in the southeast part of the nation before being hired by the plyu'ood manufacturers. Included among these companies were both manufacturers and distributors of building materials. Lle 'ivas born in Illinois, educated at the lJniversity of Chicago and admitted to the bar in Texas.

He has not announced his future business plans, but he and his family, nou'residing at Tacoma, rvill remain in the Pacific North'rn'est.

Construction Industries Exposition and Home Show at Los Angeles July 1 2 -21

The first annual Southern California Construction fndustries Exposition and Home Show opened on July 12 at the Pan-Pacific auditorium, Los Angeles, and the attendance is expected to total over 200,000 during the ten-day event. Visitors will see on display the finished products and materials of more than 200 separate exhibitors, and introduced will be scores of noteworthy innovations in home construction, remodeling, home furnishings and appliances.

Nor is the exposition by any means limited to the home building field. Accorded equal prominence will be found graphic exhibits demonstrating current practices in design and construction of commerial and industrial structures and public buildings.

Certain to be focal points of public interest are two model homes constructed on the exposition grounds, adjacent to the main auditorium. Attractively landscaped and furnish-

ed, the spacious dwellings will be realistic examples of what home-loving Americans can plan for the future. The houses will be open for inspection during the show.

The two-bedroom home will be given away, sans furniture or appliances, during the exposition to a duly qualified serviceman or .woman, or discharged veteran of World War II.

The three-bedroom home will be sold at actual construction :cost to a veteran or member of the armed forces.

Film and radio personalities will make appearances, and popular orchestras will provide music.

Admission charges will be 75 cents for adults and 30 cents for children. The show will close the night of July 21.

Sponsoring organizations, in addition to the Los Angeles Chamber oI Commerce, irtclude the building trade associations and allied groups in Southern California.'

Lumbermen Accuse OPA oI "Smear"

Seattle. .-,_ The West Coast Lumbermen's Association, lashing back at Office of Price Administration officials who filed treble damage suits against 4O lumber companies totaling more than $9,000,000, declared in a staterrient that the OPA "has picked on" a small number of lumber concerns in order to "smear the whole industry.',

"A small fraction of the industry is being sued on charges of trade practices which have had wide-open sanction by the Office of Price Administration.,, the statement said.

, The association said "these suits have been ordered on the basis of a desperate policy of intimidation. The OpA purpose is trial by press and radio. It is the frenzy of a monster of bureaucracy in its death throes. No question of honest enforcement of honest regulations is involved.,,

The lumbermen's statement contended that the whole piciqre of housing construction ,,is dark with the failure and futility of practically all government agencies, including the Office of Price Administration, that are concerned with the building industry.

"As each agency descends from one failure to another the customary alibi is a smear of one kind or another on piivate enterprise in the building field.

"Politics, red tape, buck passing, inertia and plain ignor_ ance and incompetence are increasing instead of lessening in the gigantic bureaucracy that rules lumber and other divisions of the constrirction industry, which needs only freedom to produce to solve the housing problem.',

Log Premiums Remcdn Listed

Portland, Ore., July 3--Wilson Wyatt, national housing expediter, informed the Douglas fir plywood industry Tues"_ day that the premium payment plan designed to increase peeler log production and thus boost plywood output, was still in eff'ect, despite OpA,s demise.

Mr. Wyatt rqade the statement over long-distance telephone. from Washington, D.C., to Thomas B. Malarkey, president of the Douglas Fir plywood Association.

"Many operators had assumed the premium payment plan was automaiically revoked with the expiraiion of p.i". control," Mr. Malarkey said. .,Apparently this assumition was' incorrect."

Fir Plywood Association Holds Annu.l Meeting

Although greater PIYwood production to speed the national housing program stands as the immediate objective of Northwest panel manufacturers, simultaneously the Douglas fir plywood producers are committed to expanded research and continued product promotion for long-term development of their 33-factory industry

These prqnouncements came {rom the annual meet'ing at Tacoma, Wash., of Douglas Fir Plywood'Association, the industry-wide trade proqnotion organization. Moite than 150 officials of Oregon and Washington plywood firms were in attendance as were representatives of several governtnental agencies concerned with veterans' housing

Forceful evidence of the manufacturers' determination to continue apace the progress rvhich has characterized their industry for the past decade was presented in the disclosure that already $250,000 has been appropriated to Plywood Research Foundation, founded a year and a halI ago. While this organization is a separate corporation from the promotional association, it is maintained by and {or the same fir plywood manufacturers.

The foundation, which has Tacoma laboratories, was established to "develop new products which plywood firms can produce, devise means of utilizing wood waste, and improve the production and properties of fir plywood." The report on the laboratory and the progress of research being undertaken there was given to the plywood makers by Dr. John Meiler, managing director of the research foundation. He spoke to the group after the meeting of the association was formally closea.

Subsequently, the manufacturers reviewed for the first time the laboratory facilities as Dr. Meiler conducted the officials through the research headquarters. Not only did they witness the laboratory equipment in operation, but also they viewed several samples of entirely new products which have great potentialities. Some of the panel materials already have been developed through the pilot plant stage and are nearly ready for mass-production.

Prior to devoting their attention to the long-ferm researih program intended to perpetuate and advance their industry, the panel makers heard Thomas B. Malarkey, president- of the trade association, urge that the 33-factory industry,increase operations to a three-shift, six-day-week basis to boost production for the veterans' housing program.

Elis recommendation was spurred by government assurance that more timber will be made available to plywood rnanufacturers in the immediate future.

This assurance had come in the form of a report by \{athias W. Niewenhous, director of forest products division' of Civilian Production Administration, that a half dozen actions have been instituted to increase the log supplylong the bottleneck to increased plywood output'' Mr' Niewenhous was one of several CPA and NHA officials present at the plywood meeting.

"To obtain its objectives, the Plywood Research Foundation organization has perfected threg methods of attack,"Dr. Meiler explained. "Fiqst, the establishment of a laboratory, now functioning as a complete unit, to pursue pure research and product development; second, introduction of a plan that will capitalize on the inventive power of every worker within the industry in development of new products and processes, and third, use of license authorizations from individuals and firms already holding patents of value to flywood manu{acturing."

The second phase of the research foundation program promises to bLaze a new trail in employee-management reiationships. Through the plan, kn6wn as "PRF," there is established a method whereby every inventor in the industry can submit his ideas to the foundation for perfegtion and development with the foundation working in his behalf if the ideas are deemed, by investigation, to be patentable and practical. Developmental expenses, patent fees and other expenses incidental to transforming the idea into a device or process will be advanced against such future royalties as will be payable to the inventor when his patent is licensed. The employee, of course, becomes the patent holder.

As industry leaders and government officials discussed plans for increased plywood output, cause for the current pan.l shortage-which has harassed builders, dealers and dirtribotort-was brought out in bold relief' Because of the log shortage, Douglas fir plywood production now is at the rate of only about 1,200,000,000 square feet a yearabout the same as last year but far below that of the 1942 peak. Half of the output is channeled by CPA into lowcost houses for veterans; the remainder can be sold without priority but seems only as a dribble as compared to the demand.

At the meeting, Mr. Malarkey re-stated the plywood manufacturers' contention,that government alone holds the key to greater panel production because "government ow-ns 65 per cent of the merchantable timber in Oregon and Washington"-the states producing two thirds of the nation's construction PlYwood.

Until recently, government's efforts to get plywood for

Thomcs B. Mclcrkey Reelected President

President Trugran's'housing program for veterans have been concerned primarily with allocation of whatever plywood is made. Nolr', acting under fegislation recently passed by Congress, log subsidies are being invoked intended to 'stimulate cutting of "peeler logs" that constitute the raw material for plywood factories. So far, details of this progfam have not been released.

"Plywood makers long have fought the incentive payment proposal and remain unalterably opposed to the principle of subsidies," the industry spokesman announced. ,,And, although, naturally, we must do our best to co-operate when the order is issued, the plan can succeed only if additional timber is opened to cutting operations."

' As though in answer to this statement, Mr. Niewenhous annouirced, "Both the U. S. Forest Service and Department of Intgrior have promised, and have already commenced, accelerated timber cutting programs."

He pointef, out also that the $15 million which was set aside from the veterans' emergency housing subsidy for access road building on federally owned forest lands will result in substantially more timber, although estimates not yet have been completed. The Washington state .,tiebid" deadlock, which has blocked sale of state-owned timber, is about to be broken, Mr. Niewenhous reported. This, of ,itself, will unlock a billion feet of timbei this year, he predicted.

Other speakers at the plywood industry meeting included E. W. Daniels, president of Harbor plywood Corp. of

Hoqriiam and chairman of the industry management committee, and W. E. Difford, managing director of the plywood industry trade promotional association with Tacoma headquarters.

Both these men, as well as Mr. Malarkey, stressed the importance of maintaining high standards of quality for the panel material during this period of ,.bulging order files" in order that plywood may retain its position as a preferred building material. The leaders expressed concern, too, over disruption of normal distribution of their product. Usually, the bulk of plywood is solcl through 7/M retail lumber dealers throughout the nation; under the 'housing program, however, half of it is allocated by government directly to prefabricators and builders.

All association officers, including Mr. Malarkey, were re-elected for one-year terms. Arnold Koutonen, president of Olympia Veneer Co. of Olympia, is vice president; Herman E. Tenzler, president of Northwest Door Co. of Tacoma, is secretary; and J. P. Simpson, general manager of Buffelen'Lumber & Mfg. Co., also of Tacoma, is treasurer.

Trustees of the all-industry board include: E. W. Daniels, J. R. Robinson, president of Robinson Mfg. Co. of Everett; Craig L. Spencer, president of Elliott Bay Mill Co. of Seattle, and Frost Snyder, president of Vancouver (Wash.) Plywood & Veneer Co., the only new board member.

L. A. Sets New Building Record - Industrial Construction Boom for Southland Forecast

All Los Angeles records for valuation of building permits issued in a six-month period were broken during the half-year just closed, C. E. Morris, superintendent of building, has announced. The June valuation of. $19,A72,554 brought the total from January 1 to June 3O to $128,866,lO7. For the comparable span of 1945 the total was about one-sixth as much-$zz,365,869.

Building permits for the first six months ol 1923, the year which set the previous all-tirne record in Los Angeles totaled $93,889,165. No whole year since 1925 has had a total permit valuation as great as the first half of 1946.

The number of permits approved by the Building Departrnent for the six months just ended totaled 27,777, as against 13,952 for 1945.

Southern California is to-have the greatest industrial, commercial and institutional building boom in history, according to Louis \{. Dreves, regional director for the Civilian Production Administration. He forecast the nonhousing boom, rvhich he expects to get under way when the veterans' housing program is far advanced, may bring construction amounting to more than $50,00O,000 a month in the 12 Southern California counties' "The future con-

At the same time they announced the sale of their interest in the Home Builders Lumber Company, Roseburg, Oregon, and the Crescent City Lumber Ccimpany, Crescent City, Calif., to the Spaldings'

In his announcement of the acquisition of the Spalding holdings Mr. Terrell stated that his company is now the largest manufacturer of lumber in Josephine County, with three mills having a joint output of 175,000 feet per day.

struction boom will be in all fields of industry in order to supply the demands for.merchandise and to provide jobs for the veterans for r,r'hom the homes are being built," he said.

The Civilian Production Administration director said he based his forecast on the fact that the Los Angeles district office of civilian production has received more applications for authority to build than any other similar offrce in the nation.

Southern California commercial construction projects valued at$84,432,188 rvere approved by the Civilian Produc.tion Administration in the three months ended June 27, Mr. Dreves reported. At the same time he added that the administration, increasing the number of commercial construction jobs denied, rejected 1635 applications for authority to proceed on programs involving an estimated cost of $57,775,478; these projects lvere shelved temporarily until the veterans' housing program gets further underway.

Since May 29, \[r. Dreves said, the Los Angeles office, acting on instructions from Washington, increased denials to two-thirds of the dollar value of approvals for the twoweek period ending May 23.

Probable Third.Quarter 1946 Production-- Taker Over Sage CompanY Logging Consumption of Westem Pine And Sawmill Operation at \Tillits

Portland, Ore., June 28.-An analysis of the second quarter 1946 manufacture of Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pirle' Sugar Pine and associated woods and probable third quarter- 1946 production-consumption was released today by W. E. Giifiee, assistant secretary-manager, 'Western Pine Arssociation. The statement in full is as iollows:

"Aided by long awaited'OPA action on ceiling prices and by the return 'of men from the armed services, the 'Western Pine industry in the second quarter turned in a better performance than in the second quarter in 1945' It was the first time in two years that both production and shipments have not fallen behind the same quarter of the preceding year.

"Present estimates for the second quarter place production at 1683 million feet, or 4.5 per cent above the second quarter of last year and more than double the production in the first quarter of this year. Production for the entire first half was only 6.2 per cent under 1945, despite the fact that the first quarter was 24.2 per cent below.

"shipments during the second quarter were 1572 million feet, slightly above last year and also a little better than the forecast made three ponths ago. This followed a first quarter that was 2!.6 per cent under 1945' Shipments for' all the first six months were 9.5 per cent below last year'

"Some progress was made during the quarter on the needed rebuilding of mill stocks, though the estimated 875 million feet the industry is expected to have on hand June 30 stitl will be no larger than stocks were last year'

"Consumer demand continues larger than the industry's ability to produce but the gap is beginning to narrow' Generally speaking, the mills have enough employees and recent wage settlements make it unlikely that strikes will hinder production during the next few months' Heavy truck tires again are readily available. There are scattered cases where shortages o{ sugar, meat, saws, heavy tractors, motor graders or other equipment are hinderi4g production but such problems seldom are as serious now as they were during the war'

"Based on such general factors and all other available information, it now seems probable that, during the third quarter of. 1946, shipments (consumption) of lumber by

Great Britain Promises U. S. (reosote Shipment

Chicago, July 3.-Great 'Britain,.whose hesitancy to export coal tar creosote to this country since V-J Day had seriously'threatened huge stocks of poles, piling, railroad crossties and similar products needed by railway, utility and communications systems, has informed the U. S. State Department that it will export six million gallons of creosote during the last half of 1946.

J. F. Linthicum, president of the American Lumber & Treating, Co., Chicago, revealed he had received that announcement today from the state department in Washing, ton through the Civilian Production Administration. It was Mr. Linthicum who a month ago sent a letter to John Dl Small, administrator of CPA, asking state department intervention in Great Britain's curtailment of creosote exports.

Mr. Linthicum in the text of his letter to Small, pointed out that coincidental with passage of the Lend-Lease bill Fnglahd curtailed creosote shipments to this country and that no imports had been received since early 1942.

"With the termination of hostilities, it was anticipated that England would resume the exportation of creosote, but until now export licenses have been unobtainable," Mr. Linthicum said.

"Although thg' promised shipment is less than one-sixth of that imported annually in the period from 1931 to 1941, the six million gallons should 'aid measurably in bolstering already depleted stocks of creosote in this country. The wood preserving industry is appreciative of CPA's efforts in its behalf."

Domestic production of creosote, which is a by-product of coke, has declined sharply since V-J Day as a result of strikes in the coal and steel industries, and the nation's wood preservers faced a shortage of at ,least 20 million gallons of cresote in 1946 until Great Britain's announcement that exports would be resumed. Many wood preserving plants have been forced to shut down in recent months for the lack .of the product

IJ. S. creosote production has been supplemented by foreign sources for many years with normal imports from 1931 through l94O averaging 39,68,062 gallons annually, or 27.7 per cent of total cOnsumption, the greatest part coming from England.

On July 15, 1906, Mr. Hammatt received his first appointment with the U. S. Forest Service as {orest assistant, and was assigned to the old Cascade South National Forest in Oregon. A year later he went to the California Region u'here he served as forest assistant and deputy supervisor on the Shasta National Forest.' Subsequently he 'ivas appointed assistant chief of operation in the regional office at San Francisco, and then became supervisor of tl-re Shasta National Forest in 1910. Eight years later Mr. Hammatt lras.placed in charge of fire prevention and fire larv enforcement work for the Forest Service at San Francisco. In 1919 he took charge of the office of Inforrnation in the regional office, and in 1920 was appointed assistant regional' forester in charge of public relations, the first field man to be so appointed. The following year he resigned this position to become secretary-manager of the California Redt'ood Association.

After 10 years r.vith the Redrt'ood industry, l.re returned to the Forest Service to direct public relations u'ork in the Northern National Forest Region (Montana and Northern Idaho). He came to Washington, D. C., in 1934 to fill the nervly-created position of assistant to the chief, serving under the late F. A. Silcox till his death in 1939, then under Acting Chief E. H. Clapp.

Since 1942 Hammatt has been director of the nation-rvide Cooperative Forest Fire Prevention campaign. Supported by business and industry generally, thi5 sduqslional pro-

gram helped reduce by more than 30,000 -the number of man-caused forest fires that in 1942 were slowing down the war effort.

Mr. Ilammatt is a senior member of the Society of American Foresters and the author of many articles and publications on forestry. His popular booklet, "Forests and Permanent Prosperity," is a widely quofed discussion of the basic forest problems of the Nation. He and Mrs. Hammatt plan to return to California.

"Burned Timber Builds No Hom *'.' 1947 Forest Fire Prevention Campaign Slogan

Washington, D. C., June 13.-Expecting a greater-thanever number of recreation seekerscamPers, fishermen, hunters, hikers, trail-riders and the like-in the forests next year, the State Foresters Association and the U. S. Forest Service today in a joint statement announced plans for a nation-wide drive to prevent man-caused forest fires in 1947. Cooperating in the campaign are the American Forest Products Industries, Inc., the American Forestry Association. and the American Red Cross.

Key slogans for the campaign, as approved by representatives of the interested organizations, will be geared first to the expectation of greatly increased use of the forests by recreation seekers, and second to the urgent nation-wide need for timber for home-building in the next few years' The first slogan is, "Please, folks, be extra careful this year. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires." The second is. "Burned timber btrilds no homes."

' Tied to this second slogan, and to be reproduced on thousands of posters, folders, book-marks, cartoons and other publicity devices, 'ivill be a graphic representation of the well known forest fire prevention bear, "Smokey," dressed like a carpenter and standing before a half-finished house rvhich he can't complete because of lack of lumber. In other posters and campaign media next year, "Smokey" will be joined by two little bears, "Jokey and Pokey."

The fire prevention program lor 1947 was prepared by the Los Angeles office of the advertising firm o{ Foote, Cone & Belding, as a public service, for .The Advertising ,Council, Inc. It was presented to a meeting of the cooperating organizations today by Ted Repplier, prpsident, and Douglas Meldrum, staff director, of The Advertising Council, Inc., of New York City. The program was accepted on behaif of the meeting by R. E. McArdle, acting as chief of the Federal forest service in the absence of Lyle F. Watts, ancl by Richard F. Hammatt, fire prevention campaign director for the service.

To implement the program a rvork committee has been named, including Charles Flory, state forester, South Carolina; R. L. Emerick, state forester, Pennsylvania ; A. R.

Kienholz, state forester, Connecticut; Howard J. Eberly, David P. Godwin and Dana Parkinson. of the Federal Forest Service.

While figures for the last several years show that America's forests and woodlands have suffered an average of 210,000 forest fires a year, the last two years, during which campaigns similar to tl,e one prepared for 1947 have been conducted, are reported to have shown a steady drop in the number of fires. For 1944, according to the Forest Service, the number was cut approximately in half, and preliminary reports for 1945 are expected to shorv a further drop.

Partnership Dissolved

The Central Lumber and Building Supply, Hayward, Calif., is no longer a partnership, and as of June 27,1946, G. E. Duarte retired from the company. A. D. Arlington will carry on the business at the same location, and the same firm name will be used.

Bepcirs crnd Modernizcrtions Made at Scoticr Mill During Long Shutdown

Ever since the Redwood industry strike has been in progresl a crew of more than one hundred men has been continually at work inside the Scotia sar'r'mill plant of The Pacific Lumber Company. These men, because they are carpenters and millwrights, are allorved to go back and forth through the picket lines of mill strikers. This crew has been repairing, rebuilding, and in many lvays modernizing the plant, and getting it ready for the greatest production of its history, if the strike ever ends. Everything : yorn is being replaced, and many mechanical improvementshave been installed. The biggest of all Redwood plants and one of the biggest mills of any kind in existence, the Scotia mill is now in better running shape than it has ever been since it vi'as first built.

Induskicl Construction Plcrnning Continues Despite Limitcrtions

A mail stlrvey of 5,000 architects and engineers, conductced by the Timber Engineering Company, Washington, D. C., indicates that designing and planning for industrial construction continue at a good rate despite limitations on this type of u'ork set up by the housing order VHP-l.

Those reporting averaged better than five projects in process for 1946 and two jobs for 1947. Of these nearly half of the L946 jobs were being planned under the $15,000 cost limitation and hence may proceed rvithout authoriza' tion. The balance will go ahead if C.P.A. authorization is granted.

Timber construction is still being favorably considered as is evidenced by the fact that over 30% of. the proposed work was reported as specifying the Teco system of timber construction.
