How Lumber Looks

Lumber shipments of.4l9 mills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer were 6.6 per cent below production for the week ending July 27, 1946, according to the statistical divigion of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. In the same week new orders of these mills were 17.1 per cent below production. Unfilled order files of the reporting mills amounted to 70 per cent of stocks. For reporting softwood mills, unfilled orders are equivalent to 25 days' porduction at the current rate, and gross stocks are equivalent to 34 days' production.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended July 27, 108 mills reporting, gave orders as 65,493,000 feet, shipments 69,245,ffi feet, and production 78,739p00 f.eet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled,244,977,W feet.

The West Coast's Lumbermen's Association for the week ended July 27, 138 mills reporting, gave orders as 69,131,000 feet, shipments 81,653,000 feet, and production 84,670,000 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 461,103,00O feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended July 27,78 units (105 mills) reporting, gave orders as 14,614,000 feet, shipments 17,169,W feet, and production 15,757,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 76,343,000 feet.

Four Redwood Mills Operating Seven Shipping Lumber

San Francisco, August 6-Four of the nine Redwood mills which were closed by the strike are now running, and three others are shipping some lumber but not running according to a statement made today by the California Redwood Association. The mills in operation are The Pacific Lumber Company, Union Lumber Company, Caspar Lumber Company and Rockport Redrvood Company. Those that are shipping, but not running are Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, and Northern Redwood Lumber Company.

The Association regards as significant the fact that each day the number of meu reporting for work shows a substantial increase.

Chcrnges Affecting Pressure-Treated Forest Products

Washington, D. C., July 30.-Several changes affecting pressure-treated forest products and pressure preservative treatment of forest products were announced today by the Office of Price Administration, effective July 30, 1946.

(Amendment No. 3 to Maximum Price Regulation 491-1 Pressure Preservative Treatment of Forest Products and Pressure-Treated Forest Products--efiective July 30, 1946.)

No Help For Lumber

By Richard A. Colso n, Jr., Executive Vice President National Lumber Manufacturers Association

Lumber is back under price control-and God pity us ! The new bill which the President has signed gives almo,st no help to the lumber.industry.

The McClellan amendment to the bill would have glven the lumber industry a fighting chance to increase production and break the black market, but the OPA-dominated conference committee efiectively killed that chance by emasculating the amendment-dropPing the stumpage provision and removing hardwoods entirely.

All that is left is a provision that 90 per cent of softwood production must be allowed to break even. Since OPA claims that it already has given Douglas Fir and Western Pine producers pri'ces high enough to do that, and since eventually it,might have grudgipgly given Southern Pine an increase with the claim that it covered 90 Ber cent of production, the effect of the amendment is not great.

Other provisions of the re-enacted price control law apparently rvill give little or no helo to lumber manufacturers. The Barkley amendpent providing a l94O profit base, plus average industry-wide cost increases since then, seems to most lumbermen worse than useless. No detailed analysis is possible yet, but apparently the application of this amendment to lumber prices will result in almost none of the increases needed to encourage lumber production and destroy the black market.

As originally adopted, the McClellan amendment would have gone a long way toward meeting the major objections of the lumber industry to the prior administration of price control. Repeatedly, lumbermen showed Congress the absurdity of the OPA theory of allowing only 75 per cent of production to break even, and of figuring stumpage costs at book value. NLMA and the lumber industry strongly supported the amendment.

The McClellan amendment as adopted provided a 90 per cent break-eveh point for all lumber, and required that the current market price of stumpage be used in figuring

costs. Behind the closed doors of the conference room' where industry was excluded and never had a chance, OPA staff members sat. constantly with the members of the committee, according to the published reports.

And very quietly, and apparently with no protests from any of the conferees, all hardwoods were lifted from the 90 per cent clause, and the stumpage requirement was completely eliminated. So popular was this McClellan amendment when it was introduced in the Senate that not a voice was raised against it, and leaders of both parties spoke in favor of it. Yet it was virtually killed in the conference, without a murmur.

During the 25 days of relief, from the end of price control on June 30 until the President signed it back into law on July 25, the lumber industry acted with admirable sense and restraint, according to all the reports which reached us. The NLMA, of couf,se, keeps no price information of any kind, but the published statements of scores of lumbermen throughout the country, and the newspaPer and trade paper accounts of what went on, all indicate that the only reaction to the end of price control was a mighty, collective sign of relief.

No one knows what's going to happen now, of course; the guesses run the whole range from boom to bust. But I believe it is obvious that this bill is a terrible mistake. Part of the economy is now only loosely controlled, if at all, and how business can operate intelligently and get anything done in a half-slave, half-free condition such as this, I don't know.

In the 25-day breathing spell, the normal pressures of free markets had already begun to iron out some of the worst absurdities in the lumber price schedules, and the black market was reeling under the impact of free prices. Molding plants, shut down for years, went back into production. And now we're right back where we started, rvith an even more unworkable law than before. God pity us !

Named \(/holesale Distributors For Aluminum Windows

Building Material Distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers' agents with warehouses in Stockton and Fresno, have been appointed distributors of Ogle's residential double-hung aluminum windows. 'These come in the following (approximate) sizes : V4" x 3'-0't; V-U' x (-4" i 3'-0" x 3'-A'; 3'-U' x 4-{'; 3'-7t' x 4-4'.

They are exclusive agents in Northern California for the Weather-Tite Door Saddle, which stops all water and drafts that now enter under the average door.

Smartbright and Smartshield D.D.T. Paints are distributed by this firm to dealers in Northern California.

And they are also wholesale distributors of the Penn line of locks and builders hardware.

The Stockton warehouse of Building Material Distributors is at 1000 East Channel Street, and the Fresno branch is at 1855 Cherry Avenue.

New Yard Opened in Chula Vistcr

Chula Vista has been selected as the location for the Southern California outlet of the Collins lumber interest of Portland, Oregon, and according to an announcement by Dr. Robert M. Griffin the organization will be known as the Palamar Lumber Company. A four acre tract has been purchased on G Street, west of Bay Boulevard, Chula Vista, which will afford them trackage. The new corporation is set up for both wholesale and retail, and expects,to handle export business into Mexico. Dr. Griffin has been named as president of the new'organization with George C. Flanagan as vice president.. Darrell Mattoon of Portland will be manager.

In addition to the lumber business, Dr. Griffin has also organized the Gi.iffin Builder.Supplies, which will be operated from the same address on G Street. It will be the intention to carry a full line of builders hardware in addition to lumber.

Willits Mill Burns

The Redwood mill of Sequoia Lumber Company at Willits, Calif., was destroyed by fire July 15. The plant, which had a daily capacity of 31000 feet, rvill be rebuilt as soon as possible.

Los Angeles Continues to Set New Building Record

No whole year since 1925 has matched the valuation of building permits that were issued in Los Angeles during this year's first seven months, according to G. E. Morris, superintendent of building.

The Jan. l-July 31 total was $150,556,615. For the like period of 1945 the figure was $28,184,820.

Last month's valuation vras announced as $21,690,508, as compared to $5,818,951 on record for July last year.

Mr. Morris estimated that permits have been issued for the erection of about 8500 one-family homes in Los Angeles so far this year.

The number of building permits that have been approved for construction of all classes of structures to date this year is 32,588almost exactly double last year's seven-month showing.

Building permits for the first seven months of 1923, the year which set the previous all-time record in Los Angeles, totaled $108,972,438.

Increase Grcrnted Ceiling Prices on West Cocrst Peeler Grade logs by OPA

Ceiling-price increases on 'West Coast peeler grade logs sold to manufacturers of softwood plywood, amounting to $7.50 per thousand feet log scale, have been authorized by the Office of Price Administration, effective July 26, 1946.

As a result of this action also, producers of these logs who sold to softwood plywood manufacturers by agreement at adjustable prices in keeping with the premium payment program announced by the National Housing Expediter on June 19, L946, may no\,v collect the authorized increase on those sales.

The higher ceiling prices may be paid by purchasers of Douglas fir, No. 1,2 and 3 peeler; western hemlock and western white fir suitable for peeling; sitka spruce, select; noble fir, aircraft grade and suitable for peeling.

Suppliers of these logs must show separately on their invoices the amount by rvhich the prices charged exceed the existing maximum prices. This action cancels OPA's adjustable pricing order for peeler grade logs.

(Amendment No. 24 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 161--West Coast Logs; effective lloly 7.6, 1946.)

Ask About The "Flooting Woll Sysfem" with GRIP IATH

A Washington high dignitarY, Cried "Pass OPA-this looks scarY; Get busy, old dears, Or the Black Marketeers May all starve to death-if you tarry."

*,t:f

So they passed it, and the Black Market, which had been held in something like suspense for a short time, came back home where it will live happily-if not ever afterat least for a iong, long time.

There was hope ,o, "ltnri" *nla corrgress would finally get rid of OPA and its hideous offspring, the Black Market. But fate said otherwise, and the boys, running for re-election, grabbed their schnozzles between thumb and forefinger-and passed it. Those who had hoped the thing was dead, found themselves in the position of the swain in the following tnt-.t * * *

"'We were seated in a hammock, On a balmy night in June, When the world was hushed in slumber Neath the guidance of the moon; And I asked a little question, And my heart was filled with hoPe, But her answer never reached me, For her brother cut the roPe." ***

Anyway, wasn't it fun to be free, even for a short time? Made us understand what St. Paul meant when he said to the centuritrl-"f was born free." 'We hadn't been free for so long we had almost forgotten what it was like. I paiil the same price for my beefsteak in my favorite restaurant that I had been paytng for the previous year, but somehow or other I liked the taste of that White Market steak better than I had been enjoying the Black Market meat. :F**

Regardless of the upped price in the market (due largely to the elimination of the subsidy), it was fun to walk in and say-"Gimme a pound of butter-and quick."

During the OPA intermission, lots of people charged upped prices for lumber. But the highest price asked for White Market lumber during that period was never anywhere n€ar as high as the price of Black Market lumber had been; and the quality of the stuff was invariably higher'

What comes now to the lumber industry is any man's guess. The Black Market will ride the crest of the wave' regardless of what happens to ceilings, because there will

never be a maximum production of lumber under restrictions and regulations. It would bi unreasonable and illogical to expect anything "1"".* *

The Black Market is so easy and so profitable that it appeals to many. They tell about the sawmill man who has a cur dog that hangs around the mill office. He says he has sold that dog for anywhere from $200 to'$500 more than fifty times, each time to the buyer of a truckload of lumber. He says the dog doesn't seem to like the folks who buy him, because he never gets more than a mile from the mill with the new owner, and then comes back.

When you buy a dog with a truckload of lumber, you don't ask whether or not it is dry, well manufactured, decent lumber. You take your dog, and your discolored and mis-manufactured lumber, and go on your way. Whether you go rejoicing or not, t: *t: question.

I got a kick out of the remarks of an old friend of mine who ip operating a remanufacturing plant, slicing big stuff from the mills into small stuff for the carpenters. He put it this way: "Well, the new OPA keeps me in business. I started the thing as a war baby. It has made money. If OPA ended, the mills would go to cutting lumber in regular items as they used to do and this plant would be dead in 90 days. I wish it had happened. While it makes me 'money, I feel like I would if I were collecting rent from a gambling joint, because regulations that create such a situation are all wrong." ,fi *

Congress got around to making the big British handout before adjourning. We leat'n nothing from history. By loaning the British during World War I we only earned the name of Shylock, and the ill-will of the British people. ft was Polonious, into whose mouth Bill Shakespeare put these wise words on subject:

"Neither a borrower nor be, For loan oft loses itself and friend, And borrowing the edge of husbandry." **

And again in Henry IV, gives advice on that same subject, saying:

"f can get no remedy againlt consumption of the purse;

,lingers it

Borrowing only lingers out, But the disease is inc rk**

In the lengthy discussions of the British loan iust made,

(Cohtinued from page 8) much was said of "English haters.,' We have plenty of them in all walks of life. We have had them since Bunker Hill. Our most famous and most violent English hater was a great man-Henry Clay. For Clay to mention England, was to revile her. And he was doubly effective because of the brilliance of his personality. In all Ameri, can history we have produced not a handful of men so attractive personally. I have always wished I might have known Henry Clay. One of his contemporaries thus described him: "To come within reach of his speech is to love him. He is dramatic, emotional, impulsive, humorous, loving, courageous, reckless, convivial, and profane.,' What a guy!, ***

Personally I am utterly and absolutely opposed to lending money or aid of any sort to any ',istic" government, British or any other. "socialism is thi substitution of the rights of the state for the rights of fian; it is a rejection of liberty, of freedom, of hope." TFat is Socialism. And Communism is many times more objectionable, being all those things, and vile and vicious besides.

Naturally, our British friends sometimes grew caustic over our long delay and hesitation about lending them the billions. They took sly pokes at our crass commercialism, as they saw it. They even dragged our Statue of Liberty into the thing. The cleverest, if most caustic, remark that appeared in the English press during the time the jury was out regarding the loan, was printed in the London Sunday Dispatch. It was titled-'.The Statue of Liberty"-and ran like this:

"I wonder is freedom stilt holding the lightOr is she iust calling*the*waiter?"

It was enormously reprinted and quoted abroad. They were "'telling us off," as they put it. And, coming from a nation that repudiated her previous war loans and recently traded her democratic form of free government for the sad mess of pottage called Socialism, the opinion seemed a bit off the beam. Freedom is still holding the light in this country (even though threatened from within from many sources) all right; but who is holding the light of freedom now in Socialist England?

Congress found time to make the British loan before adjourning. But failed to find the time or the courage to do something about our labor laws. Too close to election. Sound thinking on the part of both labor and industry and government can scarcely evade the truth that if Congress would repeal the Wagner Act, the Smith-Connally Act, and the La Gu,ardia-Norris Act, and write a new, fair, comprehensive, equitable, practical, and American type of law covering the whole subject of labor regulations, they would have conferred on labor in particular and the nation in general the greatest possible gift within their power. For we are not coming out of the gloom of reconstruiction into the sunshine of industrial peace and national prosperity until we get rid of these misshapen and badly balanced laws, and substitute one that is just, sensible, practical, and fair to all concerned. Everyone knows the truth about this. But we Uo *"orTrt;

I read a letter the other day that seemed chock full of truth, that said in part concerning the American people: "They want to give all their resources to the world, and still have a plentiful supply at home. They want the government to help pay for their food and lodging, but they don't want to pay more taxes. They want employers to increase wages, but they don't want to pay the increased costs. They want to see full employment, but they make it impossible for anyone to create jobs. They want jobs, but they don't want to work at them. They want more pay, but if you mention producing more for that greater pay, they get mad. They want to be, free, but they approve of bureaucratic dictatorship." Some thoughts there to mull over' * * *

Last issue I talked some about American orators. Dur_ ing the life of F. D. Roosevelt there was much discussion about his speeches and his "oratory." Recently the Washington columnist, George Dixon, printed an interview with Judge Sam Rosenman, Roosevelt's chief adviser and speech writer. It was an interview that would probably never have been printed had Roosevelt lived. Rosenman said that frequently the President would say to him-.,Get me up a speech"-4nd that was all he had to do with it except to read it over the air.

He wants to take several carloads of dealers from Southern California, and perhaps enough from adjoining territories, to make a special train to the convention. Practical plans are being made along this line, to be completed early in the fall.

Price lncreage Allowed for Manufacturers' Ceilingr of Fibre Insulation Board Products

Manufacturers' ceiling prices for fibre insulation board products, used in the Veterans Emergency Housing Prog'ram, have been increased slightly over 10 per cent in a move to maintain and expand supplies of these materials by the Office of Price Administration.

The increases, effective July 26, 1946, range from $2 to $13 per thousand square feet. Resellers are being allowed to pass on the increases to ultimate consumers, generally building contractors.

Resellers who are not under dollar-and-cent area ceilings can pass on the percentage amount of the increases. Resellers who are under dollar-and-cent area order ceilings can pass on the increases as soon as appropriate adjustments are made in these orders.

The increases apply to the various fibre insulation board products as follows:

These increases do not apply to timbers or construction items, which account for about l0 per cent of hardwood lumber production in the region. This restores the normal price relationship between timbers and grade lumber which formerly was altered to increase the supply of timbers for military requirements.

No change is made in ceiling pices of cottonwood, soft elm, quartered sycamore and plain sycamore. Price increases were granted on these items, effective June 15.

Shortcrge oI Lumber Closes Benson Finn

San Diego, August l.-The Benson Lumber Co., San Diego's only full-sized sawmill, shut down last night for lack of materials.

Frank C. Lynth, president, said production had fallen from 2,000,000 board feet a month in pre-war years to less than 500,000 board feet in recent months. He said the big rnill will reopen as soon as lumber supplies increase to the point where the plant can resume normal operations.

At its production peak the company had a payroll of 160, but that had fallen recently to 50. Preparations for closing the mill have been underway for the last three weeks, Mr. Lynch said. Since it was founded in 1906, the company has brought 120 big rafts of logs down the coast from Oregon.

1648 McCORMICK BIIITDING. CHICAGO 4, IIjTINOIS

Pope & Talbot, Inc. Announces Large Mill and Lumber Project

San Francisco, August 1-To perpetuate production of lumber for hundreds of years to come, Pope & Talbot, fnc., pioneer San Francisco and Pacific Northwest lumber and shipping firm, today announced the acquisition of 32,000 acres of timber land near Oakridge, Oregon, and plans for the erection of a large sawmill with logging operations to be carried out in conformity with .U. S. Forest Service sustained yield plans. Announcement of the operations, which are expected to result in a harvest of approximately 50 million board feet of lumber a year, was made by Hillman Lueddemann, northwest manager of Pope & Talbot, fnc., and Fresident George A. Pope, Jr., San Francisco.

Under the sustained yield plan of operations only ripe timber will be harvested thus fostering new growth and reforestation at an equal pace with cutting

The area included in the acquisition has been known as the Penn Timber Company lands, and is situated near the city of Oakridge, on the main fork of the Willamette River on the western slope of the Cascade Mountains, 45 miles south and east of Eugene, Oregon.

Included in the Pope & Talbot, Inc. plans for developing the project are not only the erection of a sawmill at or near Oakridge, but a building and development plan for the torvn of Oakridge. With a present population of 650 people, Oakridge is expected to expand into a busy mill and lumber city of 2,500 population. This will call for the municipal authorities to enact zoning laws and install utilities suitable to a trebling of population. To carry out this project steps have already been initiated by Mayor Charles Croner, backed by the Oakridge city council. First phase in the plans for the city will be temporary housing, plans for which are being aided by Pope & Talbot, Inc., representatives; Howard Beauford, planning consultant for the Eugene-Springfield area of Oregon, and local authorities.

The erection of the new mill will begin as soon as a suitable site has been selected, and preliminary road and mill pond surveys completed, stated Mr. Lueddemann. The mill will be one of the largest in the Eugene area, with a capacity of 200,000 to 300,000 board feet of lumber per eight hour day.

The new operations will be carried out in close co-operation with the United States Forest Service. J. R. Bruckart, supervisor of the Willamette National Forest, recently told a meeting of the Oakridge City Council that, "I rate the new operation as one of the largest and best sustained yield projects yet proposed."

Mr. Lueddemann outlines the Pope & Talbot, fnc., approach to the project as follows:

"The new operations recognize the national need for building material, and the need for conservation in logging operations. We are not moving in to hoe down all the trees in sight. This operation is planned to utilize the timber r,'r'hich is ripe and to protect the growing timber."

Pope & Talbot, fnc., has been active in lumbeling and shipping on the Pacific Coast since 1849. Previous to that the family operated from East Machias, Maine, serving the Atlantic trade. It has large lumber mills at Port Gamble, Washington, and at St. Helens, Oregon, which will be maintained. Of;fices are located in sixteen United States cities with headquarters in San Francisco.

Survey Shows Wood High in Fcvor As Mcrtericrl lor Windows

Wood still remains high in favor as a material for windorvs, according to a survey just completed by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork.

Conducted on a nation-wide basis among prospective home builders and remodelers, the survey shows that, of all petsons expressing a preference for a type of material, 64.5% preferred rvood. Of those eligible to build new homes under the Wyatt Plan, and who expressed a preference as to material, 55.9Vo want wood windows. Of those eligible to remodel, rvho expressed a preference on material, 94.6/o designated wood as the chosen material for windows.

Of the 615% eligible to build new homes under the Wyatt Plan, 54.7/o want more and/or larger windows in their new homes. The survey also shows that of the 65.9% eligible to begin major remodeling,6S.3Vo want more andl or larger windows. It is is notable that considerable larger number of prospective new home owners expressed preference in the mateial to be used in their windows then commented on the number or size of rvindows.

Celcbrate Golden I(/cddins

Mr. and Mrs. Percy J. Browr celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in Fortuna, Calif., August 4. They are the parents of Carvel Brown and Wendell Brown of 'the.Orban Lumber Co., Pasadena.

Mr. and Mrs. Brown were guests of honor at a cocktail party and reception at the Monday Club House, Fortuna, given by Mr. and Mrs. Carvel Brown.

Percy J. Brown is well known as a pioneer Redwood lumber operator, having spent most of his business life in Humboldt County. He operated a lGfoot bandmill and resaw south of Scotia for many years. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1906. He and Mrs. Brown now live at Menlo Park, Calif.

Moves To New Fcrctory

Acme Associates, fnc., specializing in the manufacture of water wash paint spray booths, recently moved to their new plant at 5423 Tweedy Boulevard, South Gate, where they have 16,000 square feet of factory space. The building, which is of reinforced concrete construction with allsteel trusses and wood roof, is an advanced type of factory structure. The office building, also of concrete construction, is separate.

Acme B.lower & Pipe Co. will build a duplicate building on this three-acre property. This company has just installed a new set of Webb initial type rolls, which will handle 5/16' plate, full length. E. W. I-owther is president of both companies.

Appointed Acting Manager

Adnouncement is made by Marvin Greenwood, general sales manager of The Celotex Corporation, Chicago, that the duties and responsibilities of Louis Matz, manager of the roofing and allied products department, have been extended to include those of acting manager of the West Coast branch office, headquarte:red, at 1216 Afchitects Buildi.g, Los Angeles, succeeding L. J. Hackett, efrective. August l,1946.

The announcement concl.udes as follows: "Mr. Hackett, after valued service of over eighteen year with Celotex, has resigned, we are sorry to say, to engage in other business."

Manulcrcfurers oI Stock Screen Goods Mcry Now Apply for Hcrdship Price Adiustments

Manufacturers of stock screen goods may apply for individual adjustment of their ceiling prices where they can show that existing maximum prices result in hardship under provisions announced by the Office of Price Administration, effective July 26,1946.

The action was taken to enable companies operating on a hardship basis because of increased costs to secure price relief without waiting for industry-wide action. It is similar to provisions already applicable to other millwork man-. ufacturers.

Action on the individual applications will be based on information to be furnished by the manufacturer;

Timber Supply Situation In Europe

All thinking members of the American lumber fraternity are naturally interested in the timber and lumber situation in Europe. So far, nothing tangible on that subject has been printed in this country, due to the chaos from which industrial Europe is only beginning to emerge. But from the "Timber News," published in London, we take some facts and figures that will probably be of some interest.

For instance, rve learn in a general way that the British are cutting dorvn and taking to their homeland great supplies of German timber, from the British occupied'portion of Nazi-land. We are giving no figures, but "Timber News" has this to say on that subject:

"The woodcutter's ax strikes deep into the heart of the German forest; forests of Pine, Spruce, and Beech, products of exemplary woodland management over two centuries. And the Germans have no one to blame but themselves. The knowledge that Britain is recouping her losses from the German lvoods, partly as compensation for the devastation of her own r,r'oodldnds, partly as a means of settling the larger question of reparations, makes most timbermen jubilant. It seems a matter 9f elementary fairness that the war mongers whose defeat could not be contrived without an unprecedented sacrifice of growing timber in Britain, should make good part of their loss'from their own abundant store."

Which seems to plainly state that they are slashing the remaining German forests in British occupied territory, and with a broadax. For trvo hundred years the only trees cut in Germany have been those pointed and marked for cutting by the professional forester, thus giving that nation always a sustained yield.

Elsewhere in this issue of "Timber News" is a detailed article on "Timber Supply Problems in Europei' written by Dr. Franz Heske, leading German forestry expert, who is introduced as "a German but no Nazi." He talks about prospective timber and r,r'ood and lumber supply for Europe, and is extremely pessimistic. To those who have entertained the idea that there are endless supplies of timber in Russia and that Europe might soon look to Russia for her needed lumber, this authority holds out no hope. He tells of the enormous increase in Russian internal comsumption from 1913 to 1939, and draws the conclusion that European Russia will exhaust her timber supply right there at home, in the next twenty years. He does not take into consideration the possible opening of unmeasured and partly unknown quantities of forest land in the remote

regions of Siberia, rn'hich will be made possible by advanced and improved methods of transportation of such products. It is admitted that for many years Russia has been consuming'more lumber and wooden materials than she has produced, and that her forests in European Russia have been "over-worked," while those of Germany were never allowed to enter any such stage.

"Timber News" expresses the hope and belief that development of her Asiatic timber resources will help solve, not only the Russian, but help the European problem generally.

Surprisingly, this German timber authority, Dr. Heske, looks to Africa, and the development of huge forests in the "Dark Continent," as the best hope Europe has for timber supply in the near future. He says that the total forest areas in Africa amount to more than one billion acres, and that about 43 per cent of that total is "rain forest, suitable for exploipation," located in West and Central Africa. He says that this forest is capable of producing sustained annual increment of. 12.4 billion cubic feet.

These African woods are "of very heterogeneous makeup and in many cases the technical features of the wood have have not so far been disclosed." Up to now, says the report, it has been tbe custom in Africa to utilize only a few choice woods, and leave the rest. Dr. Heske states that the development of these African woods should be undertaken at once, rather than to completely destroy the remaining forests of Europe in supplying the after-war rebuilding needs. He estimates that in the next ten years Europe is going to need about two-and-one-half times as much timber as it can produce from its ou'n forests and resources.

Coniferous forests make up 54 per cent of the entire European forest area, and deciduous forests the other 46 per cent.

The following table is given showing the percentage of forest areas in Europe (Russia not included in this table)-: Northern Europe, including Denmark, Finland, Sweden, ancl Norway,4l.l per cent; Central Europe, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, 16.6 per cent; Balkan States, including Rumania, Buigaria, Albania, Yugoslavia, 12.8 per cent; Eastern Europe, including Baltic States and Poland, 8.8 per cent; Southern Europe, including Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, 11.3 per cent; Western Europe, including France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, 9.4 per cent. These figures are based on prewar geography.

E. K. \(/ood Sells \(/holesale Dock at Long Beach

E. K. Wood Lumber Company has sold its wholesale dock, and all the equipment, at Outer }Iarbor, Long Beach, Calif. The dock was opened in 1939. Before moving to this location, the company operated a wholesale dock at San Pedro for forty years.

The Long Beach dock occupied an area of fifteen acres, had an all-paved floor, and was strictly a wholesale operation for receiving, sorting, distributing and storing lumber for the wholesale trade and their own retail yards. 20,000,000 feet of lumber a month could be handled easily over the dock. There were four buildings in the yard, office, small sawmill, shed for dry lumber and a garage-machine shop. Equipment in the sawmill included resawing, ripping and cut-ofi saws. The lumber shed had a capacity of a quarter million feet of dry stock, and the garage-

machine shop was used for upkeep and maintenance of equipment. The gantry crane was capable of loading a million feet of lumber in eight hours.

J. A. (Al) Privett, Los Angeles manager, states that all business will now be handled through their main yard at 4710 South Alameda Street, Los Angeles, and incoming lumber will be received by rail.

Planc for Further Prgmium Payments Regulationr

Washington, D. C., July 3O.-With OPA back on the statute books, plans for further Premium Payments Regulations were revealed today by National Housing Expediter Wilson W. Wyatt.

A regulation covering the convector radiator industry, retroactive to July l, 1946, as originally planned, will be issued within a few days.

Regulations covering the Northern and Southern hardwood flooring industries and the cast iron soil pipe industry will be issued on or soon after August 1, and will be effective as of August 1.

In regard to the hardwood flooring regulations, August 1 inventories of both lumber and hardwood flooring will be required of those producers who desire to come under the plan. Lumber inventory data, which will be submitted when the producers apply for base quotas and initial payment, will include amounts of 2 and 3-a common of oak, beech, birch arrd hard maple and, 2 and 3 common pecan.

It was announced some tveeks ago that these four plans -convector radiators, cast iron soil pipe, and Northern and Southern hardwood flooring-would be effective as of July l, 1946. With the temporary expiration of OPA at midnight June 30, horvever, and with price controls inoperative until late last rveek, a change in plans was found necessary.

The Inter-Agency Steering Committee on Premium Payments, following a study of the new Price Control Act and its effect on these particular industries and market conditions during the period when price controls were inoperative, decided to retain the July I opening date on only the convector radiator regulation.

,fssuance of these four additional Premium Payments Regulations will raise the total number to seven. Three plans-covering structural clay products, softwood plywood, and gypsum paper liner-were announced in June and made effective as of June 1.

Mahogany lmporting Company lmproving Manufacturing Plant at Harbor

Roy Barto reports that the Mahogany Importing Company is now enlarging its remanufacturing plant at Its Angeles Harbor, and preparing to make it a permanent institution. Started as a "war baby" to help turn big Fir items into building materials, they. have decided that so much lumber is now coming in from so many parts of the world that a practical and efficient remanufacturing .plant has a permanent rather than a temporary place in the picture. They are installing a large and heavy-duty re-saw in addition to the one already in use, the new unit to have a "merry-go-round" set-up, and capable of cutting up the logs, cants, and timbers of various hardwoods they are now bringing in from all parts of the world.

This concern is bringing in new and beautiful hardwoods from Mexico, from Eastern and Western South America, and from Africa. They are also doing a lot of exporting, principally shipping Douglas Fir to the Philippines and Shanghai. No Philippine lumber is coming this 'way as yet, due to the fact that lumber prices are so inflated in the Islands it could not be bought over there and sold here as yet. There has been a reduction in price on Philippine hardwoods in the last few months, but it is still too high for American consumption.

Douglcs Fir Plyrrood Demcrnd Witl Exceed Supply Fpr Severcrl Yecrs

Hoquiam, 'Wash., July 30.-Harbor Plywood Corporation's president, E. \Ar. Daniels, said in Hoquiam, Wash., yesterday that "based on Government requirements and independent market surveys, it appears that the demand for fir plywood will exceed the supply for several years. While further business is not being solicited, Harbor Plywood's production is committed well into 1947, with the expectation that present controlled outlets will absorb its production at least three to four years."
