The lumber market at this lvriting is sensational. The price of Fir delivered in California approaches record heights. The u'orst .car shortage in all history contributes to the unusual situation. It is strictly a buver's market. Buying on open 61ds15-ne price mentioned-is a common occurfence.
Reports from the South indicate that similar conditions prevail in Yellow Pine, demand far exceeding supply, and prices reaching high altitudes.
Western Pine markets very strong but less sensational. It is too early to prophecy what comes next.

"The coach had a dream of a miracle team, He hardly could wait until autumn, He had players galore, bilt along came a war, And the draft board came over and got em."
So wrote Bert McGran; *;rJury of the Football Writers Association of America, in discussing plans for the coming football season. For; as some modern philosopher has truthfully remarked-"There's no business like war business."
For this horrid "-", L,rJ.r.l." h"" happened with a suddenness, it seems to me, that even surpasses the surprise of Pearl Harbor. Before the treachery of the Japs at that time, we were in the midst of trouble. we knew we were sitting on a powder keg, and had been warned from every side that it might happen any minute.
But no such conditiorr* prlrr"ited before the slant-eyed slobs of Northern Korea started their march on June 25th. If anyone in this country knew of that threat, I have thus far failed to hear or read about it. It was a one hundred Per cent surPrise' + * ,<
Then the news came that Northern Korea had invaded South Korea.. And promptly came the order of President Truman to use American forces to help stop the invaders. It did not sound very serious at the moment. Mr. Truman himself said that while he was concerned over the situation, he was not alarmed. There was nothing greatly dramatic about our entrance into the Korean situation. It was more like we had ordered a cop to arrest a drunk.
Our estimate of the "1.tJ,rrri."" of the situation was probably the greatest underestimate that has been made since the writers of Genesis said: "And He made the stars also." According to scripture, God had made this marvelous earth, and had quite a detailed job doing it. Then, as a sort of after-thought, "Ffe made the stars also." The fact that there were thousands of billions of stars so large that they make the earth look like a grain of sand by comparison, played no part in the after-thought of creation.
rt was almost as bad i" l";". The very next thing we knew there was an army of ninety to one hundred thousand men, thoroughly prepared for war, storming into South Korea. They were well trained, well equipped, well armed, well-officered, and well-supplied. Everything was ready. It was Ern army that might be compared somewhat favorably with the one that Hitler sent into Poland on that fateful day in 1939, when the whole world burst into hideous flame.
MacArthur flew over to size up the situation. To his keen mind must have come an unparalleled shock at what he discovered. The Southern Koreans were flying like a flock of frightened hens before a formidable army of slanteyed savages. The situation was well described by that excellent news writer and broadcaster, Bill Henry, when he wrote in the Los Angeles Times:
"General MacArthur, ,J, ,i" J."orra time in a decade, is being forced to fight a war without men, equipment, or time to prepare. When the story of this campaign is written it will probably go down in history as a miracle of improvisation by a handful of green troops, fighting under almost unbelievable difficulties against overwhelming numbers of fanatical but well-trained, excellently equipped troops."
Even the man of ,r,-i". i*irrr".r.,. ability must fall far short of attempting to even comprehend the unheard-of task that MacArthur found thrust upon him with such hcrrib.le suddenness. Some day it will be written, and when it does, it will make and break all-time records in the history of warfare. T'hat MacArthur is surpassing all his previous records of genius in warfare, there seems little reason to doubt.
writing about a *"r-l ,J". Lo"rr€ q7a1-in a column such as this, is as useless as a last year's birds nest. AS this is being typed reinforcements have come to the heroic yet still far outnumbered Americans, and a grand fight is being staged to hold the one-tenth part of South Korea still in American hands. Deeds have been done and are being done that history shall love to sing the praises of. The defenders of the Alamo, or of the pass at Thermopylae, were of the same strain and character as the thin line of Americans who have held back a hundred thousand Mongolian monkeys day after day and week after week since the thing started.
Never was a time when the folks back home in this country prayed for their boys more fervently than they are praying fqr that small army in South Korea. Surely they need our Drayers now, if men ever did. The harbor city of Pusan is the center of the American defense. It is quite a city, even in normal times, with a population of about 300,000, possessing a splendid harbor, and quite an industrial district. With this city not many miles back of their lines, the Americans are making their last ditch stand for God and country; yes, and for civilization itself, for its fall would be a long step toward the ultimate destruction of
Pty*ooa is known as the "miracle" wood. How it gets that w^y at Associated Plywood plans is no miracle at all, but rather a combination of outstanding natural and man-made circumstances.
The rich, rain foress of Oregon yield the fine Douglas fir that comes to Associated mills. These mills are ,rmong the largest and most modern in the plywood industry, with a number of manufacturing "firsts" to their credit.
And in these mills work more than 900 skilled 61af1smsn-men who have had years of training and experience.
The plywood they produce (both exterior and interior panels) is grademarked and uademarkeda double guarantee of product quality and user satisfaction-
APMI trademarked plywood is available in the nation's major building and distribution areas, in stock sizes for most eftcient use. Your inquiries are welcomed at Associated mills, or at any of the listed warehouses.

our Christian civilization, as planned and conducted by the ape men in the Kremlin.
A wise man said ""*.tnr", tc me the other day that fairly made the flesh crawl up my back. See ifit doesn't do the same to you. He said: "Do you realize that the men in the Kremlin tell us who, and where, and when we must fight? We are fighting in Korea because they so planned it. They called all the shots. And they can start another side war any time, any place, and with anybody they choose, and there, again, we will have to fight. While they sit in the Kremlin and pull the strings?" Horrible thought, isn't it? x *
Why should Russia go to war, when they can order and arrange and start small wars in a dozen different places in the world, any time it suits their purpose. No need for them to fight, so long as they can get it done, and force their one great adversaryourselvesto spend our strength as they dictate. Honest to God, Junior, how did we ever get into such an unholy, horrible predicament?
Ever since the last *", .rlU.J we have been learning that in all the world doings in which we participate, the United Nations, et aI, we do ALL the paying. We have come to understand that. And now that the United Nations is fighting a war in Korea, we have learned that we also do all the fighting, all the bleeding, and al1 the dying. Pleasant. isn't it?
You wouldn't believe that history could repeat itself with such rapidity. I went back over some of the stuff I wrote during World War Two (some jokers have been referring lately to the Korean thing as World. War Twoand-One-Half), and found this paragraph: "How can we ever forget that in our time the greatest,"the grandest, the noblest army of all history went out from this fair land of ours and fought the brave fight; not to enslave, but to free men; not to destroy, but to save; not for ourselves, but for others; not for conquest, but for conscience; not for ourselves, but for every land and every .race. With courage, with enthusiasm, with devotion never surpassed they fought the battle of free men. Disheartened by no defeat, discouragcd by no set-back, appalled by no danger, they neither paused nor swerved until the enemies of free-
dom had laid down their arms. This is a debt we can never repay."
And now, just a r.* "nJr. ]""r, ,"..r, with our hospitals still crowded with the unfortunates who fell but did not die ; with the bills for the last war still entirely unpaid; we find ourselves sending another army of boys out to do the same thing over again. :r*
And even now, while the groans of the dying American kids in Korea bring scalding sobs to the hearers, in the United Nations meeting at Lake Success, New York, a representative of the goons in the Kremlin rises to his feet and offers loud and cowardly insults to this nation, and through it to our dying soldiers. Why do we stand it? Why should our representatives sit down in formal meeting with the Government restlonsible for all the ills of this sick world. Looks to me like the least some good American could do would be to smash a bowl of hot soup in his ugly puss, and kick him down the back stairs. How much can we stand?
I notice in your fan mail, issue just out, the following: "My only regret is that your wonderful editorials are not more r.'i'idely circulated."

The National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has urged the country's 26,000 building supply dealers to participate actively in observance of National Home Week rvhich will be held Sept. 1A to 17.
"The nation's retail dealers who supply the materials used in building and improving homes can assist in improving housing standards by holding open-house during home week and inviting the public to come in and see the great array of new and improved materials for residential construction," H. R. Northup, executive vice president of the NRLDA, stated Thursday.
"In addition, dealers can perform a real service by sholr.ing present and prospective home owners how easy it is to finance the purchase or modernization of a home under today's credit terrns .ivhich are the most liberal of all time," he said.
"Many home owners are not aware that they can pay for major improvements on a monthly budget plan witl-r a Title I FHA loan or through an open-end mortgage loan. National Home Week. u,hen public attention rvill be directed to better housing, rvill be an ideal time to put the facts before the public.
"Retail materials dealers who are constructing homes on their own account in cooperation with builders and contractors are urged to open recently completed or partly constructed homes to the public during the week, so that everyone will have a chance to see at first hand the fine values being built into the new homes of 1950 and can appreciate the extra comforts and conveniences which modern homes offer."

In the interest of efficiency and economy, builders of low cost rental housing have been quick to adopt the newest improved methods of wood frame construction, it is indicated by latest figures released by the Timber Engineering Company.
With military rental housing now boorning over the country under the Wherry law, 73,000 trussed rp.fters are under construction for 3,906 units in seven building projects. Eighteen thousand more trussed rafters are required to meet specifications for 1,500 additional units. The total number of military housing jobs in which Teco trussed rafters have been specified for use embraces 5,506 units, calling for 91,000 trussed rafters.
In this connection it is pointed out by Harry G. Uhl, president of the Timber Engineering Company, that in 1949 practically one out of every four housing units built in the greater Washington, D. C. area used Teco trussed rafters and split-ring connectors-3,78S out of 15,400 units, otl.rer than multiple-story dwellings. This compares with only one such structure built locally in 1946, the year the Teco trussed rafters were introduced.
Requiring no load-bearing partitions, these rafters pla,ce a project under cover'more rapidly thari traditional forms of construction. The resultant clear work space effects great savings of time, labor and material by permitting greater flexibility of operation for the mechanical trades.
In a 26x32 foot house, 27 per cent less lumber is required for framing roof and ceiling with trussed rafters than with outmoded joist-and-rafter type of construction, a factor which, according to sales advances, is not lost on the building industry.

The Western pine lumber industry today is finding itself in the position of the small boy with a piece of cake.
After working his way carefully through part of the frosting, he discovers he's going to have to eat the cake to get at the icing in the center-and then learns the cake is pretty good, too.
For years, WeStern pine lumbermen have concentrated pretty largely on production of the three Western pines-Idaho white pine, Ponderosa pine, and sugar pine-among all the species of timber growing together throughout the west. Now, for a number of reasons, they're being forced to leaven their output with a fair to sometimes heavy proportion of associated woods -Douglas fir, larch, white fir, Engelmann spruce, western red cedar, incense cedar or I-odgepole pine. Frequently with several of them.
And they're learning that the actuality isn't nearly as dreadful as the prospect.
For it's becoming clearly apparent that each of the associated species has its purpose and therefore its value in the utilization field.
The Western pines have long been known for their versatility. They've accomplished the toughest to the touchiest of jobs-from concrete forms to intricate woodwork. Hence, they recluired no specialization in production or promotion. Sawing, surfacing, drying, stocking, handling, shipping, advertising, selling, could all be done on a single-product level with resultant economies.
But eventually there appeared a cloud over this economic liden. Unprecedented demand, eady lack of information on speed and size of cutting cycles, longer hauls from woods to mills and higher unit costs began to make unsound the practice of logging only pine trees from any given acre.
To harvest only the pine, for example, from a company's 150,000-acre tirnber supply meant that it was necessary to come around oftener or, in other words, speed up the cycle, if one existed. If the mill capacity were geared higher than rate of tir.nber growth, it meant the company must add to its holdings or go elsewhere for its raw product.
Additional timberland ownership (if land were strategically available) meant greater expense for inventory, fire and insect protection, taxes, road building and the many other responsibilities of property. Elsewhere meant timber buying, usually from federal agencies which required proportionate all-species logging.
A corollary problem often involved regeneration. Leaving more trees of associated woods in the forest promoted reproduction of those species to the long-term exclusion of the pines. Not a pleasant prospect for the old-line and hopefully permanent pine manufacturer.
The alternative was simple, but to the pine producer initially formidable, and applied to privately-owned lands and federal timber as well: log the associated species. To many a veteran lumberman, thd associated woods were, if they had to be cut, fit only to burn or leave in the woods. In the days when the demand for and supply of pines made associated species unmarketable, they were given short shrift in processing. Usually they weren't seasoned or were seasoned on inexact schedules; sawing and surfacing were done haphazardly, and they were sometimes sold as pine substitutes when their properties, for the use involved, were very nearly as divergent as those of ebony and balsa.
The result was dissatisfaction all around. And so the notion grew that white fir, for instance, or Lodgepole pine or incense cedar was better off on the stump.
Thus it was that, under pressure and with many a crossed finger, pine operators turned reluctantly to diversified production. Today, diversified manufacture is an accomplished fact among most Western pine mills and, what's more, a lot of the rnisgivings have developed into enthusiasm. IJser acceptance ' of properly seasoned and manufactured white fir, Douglas fir, larch and the rest, at first slow, has demonstrated thdt there is indeed a market for specific purpose and general utility species available economically in a full range of grades and sizes.
Custorners have learned that white fir, flat, straight and

dimensionally stable, is ideally suited to sheathing, subflooring, decking, studding, joists, paneling and siding and a host of utility uses in residential building and remodeling. Dealers are selling thousands of feet of it to farmers for a multitude of miscellaneous purposes. Industrial users are fitting it to nearly every phase of their operations.
The fact that Douglas fir is available in quantity from mills of the Western pine region, new to many wholesalers and dealers, too, is becoming widely known. Second to none as a structural lumber, it may be secured from many of the region's producers in mixed cars together with an assortment of the pines and other associated species.
Construction men everywhere are discovering that larch is one of the hardest and strongest of the commercially important softwoods in America. The story of the exceptionally high durability of Western red cedar and incense cedar under decay-fostering conditions is being carried outside the small circle of long-time users.
Lodgepole pine, similar to Ponderosa and for many years used for construction and finish lumber in its immediate growth area, is now being shipped into most of the 48 states. Engelmann spruce production is jumping as its uses for finish and other work requiring light weight and color increase.

Diversified production solves many problems. For the buyer, it makes a specific wood available for a specific use, eliminatine the necessity for forced utilization of dxpensive or inadequate species for the job at hand. Moreovei,.it enables package purchasing. Many dealer requirements mly be met from a single source in the Western pine region by mixed car buying of one or more of the Western pines together with an assorment of associated woods.
For the producer, it lowers the unit costs of harvesting and manufacturing by increasing the per:acre yield of forest crops. It enables more comprehensive forestry practices by eliminating much of the competition to young pine growth. And it extends the supply of timber, very often at a point of balance whereon hinges the pepetuation or closure of a given mill.
The production of associated woods is here to stay. But its advent is a good deal less painful than anticipated. Altogether, not a bad piece of cake.

Washington, D. C., July l8-Federal Housing Commissioner Franklin D. Richards today announced further credit restrictions under FHA insured loan programs. This action is in accordance with the President's policy set forth in a letter today to Raymond M. Foley, Administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency requesting the use of further credit controls to conserve building materials which may be needed for National Defense to curb inflation.
In a telegram to all FHA field offices Commissioner Richards issued the following instructions:
(
1) Construction cost figures used in insuring offices for the purpose of. analyzing property for mortgage insuranc-e or yield insurance shall be frozen as of July 1, 1950;
(2) Eligibility provisions of Administrative Rules under all mortgage insurance plans are amended by reducing the ratios of loan to value or loan to cost specified therein by five percent of such value or cost;
(3) Dollar mortgage limitation on single family dwelling is reduced from 916,000 to 914,000;
(4) Cash down payment of ten percent shall be required on property improvement loans under Title I.
The action described in the first three items are efiective with respect to applications or requests for eligibility statements received by the insuring office after July 18, 1950. The down payment requirement on property improvement loans is to be effective with respect to all applications dated or executed on or after August 1, 1950.
-Military housing and housing in Alaska are expressly excepted from the new FHA controls.

North Bend, Oregon (Aug. 4)-Truckloads of logs harvested from Weyerhaeuser's 200,000 acre Millicoma Forest began arriving at the company's woods headqrrarters near Alleghany last week, according to Arthur O. Karlen, manager of the company's Coos Bay branch operation.
Four new logging trucks, to be joined soon by four additional units, are hauling the "round stuff" over the company's twelve mile private forest road. Up in the big timber fallers,and buckers are dropping and sectioning old growth Douglas fir for the yarding crews. Yarding is being done with tractors and high lead. A shovel "boom" loader places logs on the trucks. One logging side is in operation at the present time.
It's those rugged, cross-laid sisal reinforcing fibres that make sts,ttrR^FT so strong and tough ! That's why it's so easy for one man to apply it fast, without ripping or tearing. That's why it is so satisfactory behind stucco. You don't have to be gentle with srsAr,KRAFT wet stucco won't punch holes, damage or belly it . and you can depend on srsArKRArr to remain intact in the wall for the life of the building. There is only one sISALKRATT demand the genuine! Stocks are available now for prompt delivery.
The sisal fibres are embedded between two layers of asphalt that binds together the sheets of strong kraft paper. This high grade asphalt makes sTSATKRAFT moisture-tesistant just what you need behind stucco . and it meets FHA requirements for this purpose.
Application costs are low, because one man can apply more STsALKRAFT in less time than it takes with paper that rips easily.

At Allegany, ten miles southeast of Coos Bay, logs are unloaded into the Millicoma river at a new dump recently completed by Weyerhaeuser, together with general shops and other facilities. The logs are made up into rafts and brought dor,vnstream on the north fork of the Coos River. Pending completion of the company's sawmilling facilities, the logs for the present are being mad'e available to a local sarvmill.

Announcing Our New Mill sr Redding-Truck, Troiler qnd Rqil Shipmenrs to Soulhern Coliforniq Points
Redding, Aug. 2.-Shasta Plywood, Inc., of Anderson, said today it was building a new $2,000,000 plant just north of the present factory, for the production of "Novo- ply."
Gene Brewer, Shasta Plywood general manag'er, said it would be the first plant in the United States to make the product.
He said "Novoply," made from a process discovered by Fred Fahrni; Swiss engineer, is produced from wood shavings and chips heretofore considered useless except as fuef, The wood fibers are compressed with a resin adhesive. The product will be used by furniture manufacturers, for decorative panels, doors, and where high pressure laminated wood is needed.
The machinery for producing the material is made in Europe. Brewer said the new plant will operate with three shifts a day and will have a payroll of about 9500,000 a year.
Shasta Plywood, Inc., is a subsidiary of U. S. Plywood Corp., of New York.

If the lumber in the scaffolding :rrouncl Freclerick & Nelson, great Seattle department store, was laid end to end, the pieces would extend approximately ten miles.
If the 4x4 posts-all stiff, straight, sturdy second-growth Dorrglas fir-rvhich comprise approximately one-third of the lur.nber used, were placed in a fence at twenty-foot intervals, that fence would surround six acres of ground.
The scaffolding is the first stage of a $6,000,000 addition oi three floors on the store, which is a Seattle branch of Marshall Field and Cornpany.
The particular type of scaffolding that is being used for the purpose of removing the store's old cornice ancl firewall and for general inspection and repair of tl-re existing terra-cotta worl< is known as Knife-Grip Scaffold, a locally manufactured and developed product in its entirety, having been first introduced to the construction industry by the Northwest Scafiold & Iiquipment Co., Inc., of Seattle.
This new-type scaffolding en-rbodics the practical feature of fabricating together Douglas fir lurnber that is grown, milled and marketed in the Northu'est, into a temporary structure that is held together entirely without the use of nails or bolts. This is accorrrplished by the use of a ntetal socket or sleeve which holcls the upright 4x4 posts and has four ltnife-edgecl steel castings welded to it, which receive an<l hol<1 the longituclinal members of the stmcture. The vital young fibers ancl tightlocked knots of second-growth fir are a preferred material for this type of scaffolding.
Angular bracing for proper rigidity in the scaffold is accor-nplished by the use of a three-foot metal brace which is secured in place much tl-re same as the ordinary common C clamp.
Some of the quantities that are contained in the scafiold that sttrrounds the building are 60,000 board feet of lumber, 25 tons of metal, making a total of 85 tons of scaffolding not counting the barricade or canopy that covers the sidewalk.
The barricade, designecl to cause the least possible inconvenience to customers and pedestrians, is decorated with large flower boxes filled with trees and florvers. The timber deck is 4"x4" construction of solid wood. It is clesigned so carefulh' and is so strong that it could withstand heavy automobile traffic over the top. Again, the second crop of the Douglas fir forest is called upon to provide lurnber for strength and security.
The strength ol Douglcs fir structural lumber is no plcce better illustrated thcn in this striking new wooden skelelon oI scdolding surrounding Secttle's gicnt Frederick d Nelson's slore on lour sides. Locked logether by cr pctented knile-grrip,2x4s cnd 4x4s provide cn cmczing verticcl bridge on which workmen lcbor six floorE qbove the busv srreet tevel, Trll'ffrril.'."_"J:li::"."* cdded to thig mer-
Lumber used in the barricade is enough to build ten fiveroom houses and the 110 gallons of paint used would paint approximately fifteen houses. Some 26,000 nails were used and 10,000 square feet of plywood.
The Northwest Scafiold & Equipment Co., of Seattle, erected the barricacle and scaffold under the direction of the general contractor, Henrik Valle & Co. of Seattle.
Iiach year about 800,000 people earn their living as employees of the American lumber industry. The furniture and fixtures industries employ another 300,000.

"Then you got arrgry?" asked the judge.
"Wal, a little," said the hillbilly. "But f didn't get real mad'til he grabbed my gal and threw her out, too."
Judge: "I'm sorry, but I can't issue a marriage license until you have properly filled out your form."

So to live, is heaven.
-George Eliot.A woman returned a smart pair of shoes to the exclusive shop where she had purchased them. "They won't do," she said, "I simply can't walk in them."

Retail building supply dealers are handling a consiclerably greater quantity of materials than they did a clecacle ago, C. B. Sweet, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, states.
"Analysis of the recent Census of Business shows that the nmount of materials distributed through retail yards in 1948 was 58 per cent greater than in 1939, after allowing for the increase in materials prices between the two census years," Mr. Sweet said.
"Actual sales of all reporting dealers totalled g5.13 billion in 1948 as compared with only 91.48 billion in 1939.
"The number of employees ein retail yards increased 56 per cent, despite greater efficiency in materials handling and ir.nproved management methods, because dealers have been performing numerous additional services for customers.
"New services which dealers were not generally offering at the time of the earlier census include precutting of materials, pre-assembly of building parts and of small structures, packaging and strapping of materials, and aid to customers in the planning and financing of their building projects.
"The number of retail materials dealers reportecl by the census increased only 4 per cent, from 25,067 to 26,128. Sales volume per dealer averaged $196,600 in 1948. The number of employees increased from 138,957 to 2l6,ffi2.
"The sizeable increase in the quantity of materials distributed through retail yards is attributed to the fact that dealers are stocking more kinds and types of building products ancl related items and to the high level of residential and farm construction during the last few years.
"The greater efficiency in materials handling, which would have been reflected in at saving in manpower requirements except for the additional services being performecl, has iesulte<l from the growing use of mechanized and time-saving equipment such as fork lift trucks, straddle trucks, and gravity conveyors.
"The average number of employees per retail yard increased from 5.6 in 1939 to 8.3 in 1948, and average sales per employee rose from $10,640 to 923,650."

A bountiful seed year is in the traking in the vast Douglas fir forests of Washington and Oregon, according to W. D. Hagenstein, forester engineer for the forest conservation committee of the Pacific Northwest Forest Industries. Tiny; inch-long green cones now thickly cover hundreds of millions of trees throughout the region. They will grow and ripen during tlre summer.
Conditions are ideal, Hagenstein said, for excellent reseeding during the coming fall when the cones ripen. Loggers burned lots of slash last fall and large areas of forest stubble are ready for natural seeding.
"'We have one big worry today," the forester said. "Only fires, caused by man's carelessness, can spoil this potentially fine seed year. Iivery. user of our forests should be on the alert [o prevent fires and should observe every possible precaution all summer long."
"Nature will plentifully reseed tens of thousands of acres this fall," the forest leader. pointed out. "All man has to do is to protect these naturally seeded forests while sun and rain and the good earth grow more crops of usable wood."
Harold Knecht, manager of the Galt, Calif., yard for the past six years, has been transferred to the Santa Rosa yard.
Russ Housley, of Stockton, has taken over the Galt yard.

W. R. Charnberlin & Co. has announced the inaugttration of a new vessel, the "MS C-TRADER," they expect u'ill enter their Pacific Coastwise "Packaged Lumber" trade augmenting the service which has been performed for the last year by their converted LSM "C-COASTER."
The vessel is 269'-10" overall in length, has a 42'-6" beam. Main propulsion machinery will consist of a Cooper-Bessemer 1300 hp. 2-cycle direct drive Diesel engine, which will give the slrip a speed of approximately I0l knots. Auxiliary power rvill consist of trvo Budda Diesel engines turning Crocker Wheeler Co. 115 V DC generators for ship's use and tu'o General Motors G628A Diesel engines turning Westinghouse 440 V 60-cycle AC generators, the latter of which rvill supply
climination of further stowage of lumber products into wings or trunlis ; ancl instead of the hatch being rnerely a transfer point for cargo, the hatcl-r itself becomes the stowage area of the cargo.
The vessel is presently at Horne Brothers Shipyard, Newport News, Va., undergoing classification work. Upon completion of this work the vessel will proceed to the Pacific Coast for the installation of a new type cargo gear'
The neu' cargo gear will consist of two self-contained full revolving, hyclraulically powered, high speed level-luffing kingpost type cranes, designed especially for the "C-TRADER" by Colby Steel & Nlanufacturing, Inc., of Seattle, Washington'
It is conten-rplatecl by use of these two cranes a full cargo can be loaded in approximately twenty hours and discharged in approximately fourteen hours.
In operation, all rnotions of the cranes will be simple and positive in action, with the hoist, rotate and luffrng motions actuated by two conveniently positioned control levers. Mover.nent at the cargo hook will .correspond directly to the motion and direction irnparted to the control levers. Inherent characteristics of the \ricl<ers'hydraulic equipment will prevent undue overloacling of the cranes.
Power limiting <levices.will prevent extreme rates of accelelation, and u'ill effectively keep maximum power demands on the sltip's generators within designed limits.
The power rrnit on each crane is driven by a marine type, continuous ratecl squirrel cage electric motor manufactured by \\'estinghouse Electric Corporation.
The capacity of each crane varies from 10,000 lbs' at 50 r.naximum radius to 20,000 lbs. at 12'minimum radius, with a hoist speecl varying from 50 FPM at full load to 150 FPI\'{ rvith no loa<l. The boom can be luffed from maxirnum to minimum radius in approximately 18 seconds.
power for the operation of cargo gear. In addition, the vessel is equipped with a 40 KW generator connected with main drive shaft, which generator has sufficient capacity to supply the entire needs of the vessel while she is under way, enabling other generators to be shut down for maintenance purposes. The vessel will lift approximately 1,800,000 board feet of lumber per voyage and will maintain a complement of tlventy-seven rnen. ln addition, the vessel will be equipped with every modertr device for safety of personnel and cargo, including an RCA's ship-to-shore telephone and a Westinghouse type MU radar.
The vessel was designated by the U. S. Maritirne Con-unission as an N3-M-A1 and is described briefly as being a singleender; that iS, house and machinery aft and three hatches forward. The hatches, because of their extremely large size readily lend themselves to the stowage of "Packaged Lumber." They are 5l'-2" long and, 3l'-6' wide; each hold in the ship is 56. long and 40' wide. As can be seen, therefore, the dimensions of the hatches and the holds are so close they allow the
It is believed the "C-TRADER" is the first vessel flying the American flag ever to be outfitted with this type of cargo hanclling cranes.
