o ttl dontt know anything about economics, but I know inflation is a bad thing-and my husband says that if we all buy Savings Bonds-like we bought War Bonds-it will help to make our future secure. So I think it's fine of your.store to advertise Bonds over the radio, and in the newspapers-because it makes me feel that you have the public's interest at heart. Besides, itts so convenient for me to buy Bonds here.t'

Yourr sfore gains prestige and good will when you advertise and sell Savings Bonds. Display themin your windows and on your counters. Adyerfise them-in your local newspapers and over your local radio station. Se// them-to everyone who enters your store.

And, yourself , buy Savings Bonds-and urge every employee to buy them regularly on your payroll deduction plan. You'll be building security for yourself, your store, your community, and your country. You'll be helping to control prices. And evety $3 invested wiII pay $4 at maturity!

How Lrumber lrooks

Portland, Oregon, October 9, I946-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in September (4 weeks) was 117.204.000 board feet, or 80.9 per cent of 1942-1945 average. Orders averaged lll/26,000 b.f.; shipments 112,091,000. Weekly averages for August were: Production 120,182,000 b.f. (82.9 per cent of the 1942-1945 average) ; orders 122,&6,0n; shipments, 111,780,000.

West Coast sawmills continued during September the high procluction figures established in August with more than half a billion feet of lumber processed by sawmills in this section, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association reported today. While the weekly average ol 117,2O4,000 feet is slightly off the peak output for August, production of housing lumber held steadY.

The Douglas fir area, west of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington, alone in September produced enough one and two inch housing lumber to build 25,000 average American homes, the association pointed out' Housing lumber output hovers around ll5/o of normal pre-war years'

Calling for less government regulations as the only hope for increasing lumber manufacture, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, pointing to the nation's dire need for new homes and more lumber, urged adoption of a fifth freedom-unhampered freedom to produce' "Where inclustry has been least restricted it has produced lumber in amazing quantities," the West Coast Lumbermen's Association itut"d. "There will be a continued shortage of flooring, millwork and items cut from clear stock as long as present government tampering continues.''

"Today, when every lumberman should be spending every ounce of his energy getting out lumber' scores of our key production men are losing valuable time from directing their sawmills, worrying along with government agencies, trying to bring some order out of the confusion the government planners are creating," the Association stated. "If we don't keep constantly on the alert, and battle every step of the way against more and more regulations, we rvill lose the battle of lumber production for the era just ahead."

ls This Still A Free Country? r . . ,

Last week The News carried an advertisement by the Lone Star Cement Company in which it presented its side of the strike in its plants here and elsewhere.' Among other things the management said:

"We believe in collective bargaining. We recognize the right of our employes to organize. We will meet our men more than half way in working out fair and equitable wages and working conditions.

"But we maintain that it is unfair, unsound, and unAmerican for the CIO to demand that we, as employers, compel our employes to join that organization' In a free country the right to work rests with the individual' This is still a free country-or is it?"

The answer is that America is in some respects less of a free country everv day. It is still a free country for some organizations. It is still a free country for some leaders' It is still a free country for some violators of our laws who seem to go undisturbed. But for the little, unorganized, unattached man, freedom is a shrinking shield rvhich gets thinner as it shrinks.

There are people who simply do not want to belong to CIO. For that matter there are people lr'ho do not want to belong to the Presbyterian Church. Maybe their reasons are good, and maybe they are not. We have long since forbidden churches to bring compulsion to bear on the fellow who doesn't want to be a churchman. Religiously we are free to go to the devil, if we choose. But in labor matters it is sometimes dangerous to life and limb to assert freedom of choice.

That is literally true. Men have had their skulls cracked for not joining CIO. Other men have had their skulls cracked for joining CIO. A man is not necessarily free either way. You may think CIO is right, and then again yotl may think it is wrong. 'But ans'iver this one; Is the skull-cracking right ? *

It is sad to learn that we have to work for what rve wear' The five-day rveek in the stocking factories doesn't make enough stockings to go round. The five-day week in the steel mills ancl mines doesn't give us enough fenders for

rrom

our automobiles, nails for our houses, or girders for our sky-scrapers. The whole country has gone to loafing' And everybody you see is short of something that more work at the right place would suPPlY.

Things do not add up. We go into a world war and burn up billions of dollars worth of our goods, blow up and dest.oy trillions of dollars worth of lives and factories abroad and then come out with semi-starvation, half-nakedness, and utter homelessness for millions upon millions of the earth's people. And our remedy for that is to work less than we ever did before or to'quit work altogether in the mad expectation of getting a greater share of what u'e refirse to helP produce.

Here, ladies and gentlemen, is your New Jerusalem, with its leisure, its security, its joy, and its blessed peace of mind. How do you like it? Arise, ye sons and daughters of liberalism and take arms against your sea of disillusionment. If the five-day week produces too little, let's raise everybody's wages and quit work altogether' Sixty million jobs with nothing to do, nothing to eat, nothing to wear-we can have our New Jerusalem yet.

1946 Lumber Production Mcry Top 33 Billion Feet

Washington, October Z7-Civil\an Production Administratlon said that softwood and hardwood lumber production this year may reach 33 billion board feet, 5 billion more than 1945 outPut.

"Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice?"

(Washington's farewell address.)

Spite of all that has been said about "One World," I still like the philosophy of that giant of vesterday, as contrasted with the contrary opinions of the pygmies of this era'

Looks like the new song "Be Kind to, Communism," words and music by Henry Agard Wallace and Senator Claude Pepper, will never make the Hit Parade. Good folks don't seem to like either the words or the tune.

That same George Washington in that same farewell address, said this: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness."

Neither religion nor morality exist where Communism rules. You dont have to go abroad to prove that. William

Z. Foster is the outstanding American Cornmunist' When he testified under oath before a Congressional committee, he said: "Our Party considers religion to be the opiate of the people, and we carry on propaganda for the liquidation of these prejudices among the workers."

The chairman of the committee asked him: "Can members of the Communist Pary be married in the church and maintain religious belief?" Foster replied: "My opinion is that a member of the Soviet Union who would be married in the church wouldn't be of any value to the Communist Party." And, regarding loyalty to the American Flag, Foster testified: "The workers of this cou,ntry and of every country have only one flag and* that's the Red flag."

In San Francisco recently, J. Edgar Floover, of the FBI' told the American Legion convention that "Communists are bent on shackling America if they can," and he proceeded to launch one of the most forceful condemnations and denunciations of the present Communist effort in this country he has ever been known to speak. Subversive elements, he said, have penetrated into labor unions riding over rank and file, have reached into our colleges, ourt schools, our newspapers' and our magazines, the screen' our fraternal orders, and even our churches, in their insidious drive to upset Americanism. Hoover is one man

who knows what he is talking about on this subject' His organization is keeping its watchful eye on the Commies, thank the Lord.

Hollywood is especiallly filled with fat cats who spread and spout Communism. You, Mr. Movie Fan, have no idea how often you sit through a moving picture with no thought of the fact that some of the reddest Reds in the nation have their names boldly printed on that screen' either as producers, directors, writers, or actors' The strange thing about the Hollywood band of Commies is that for the most part they are people in the very high income brackets. A Russian refugee in Hollywood who left his home to escape Communism, makes the very interesting comment that these Hollywood Reds usually wait until they have incomes of five thousand a month or more before they begin spitting Communism and saying "Comrade"'

It IS difficult to understand. Some of the outstanding subversives in the Hollywood film colony' men drawing huge incomes, are the type who should be pushing banana carts or working in fish markets, if their employment was only equal to their mental capacities. Just why men of ,*.ll -ittds and small souls who would do well to pull down twenty bucks a week should become subversives as soon as they get into the high income brackets, is a puzzle indeed. But the fact remains, nevertheless'

That's as plain and provable as two and two make four' There is no room in this country for people who would destroy our form of Government or our American way of life. There is only room here for honorable Americans who love their country next to their God, and who are ready to shed their blood to protect both' They come with false labels in most cases, but the snarl of the subversive hyena may be heard through the sheep's clothing' Let us keep this country clean, and American, and God-loving, and send all others to wherever their hates and their isms may make them feel at home'* * *

Let's go back for a few moments to a debate that took place in New York City in 1886. A famous philosopher and historian had spoken of his philosophical beliefs, and then Chauncey Depew, a business man, followed him' Depew said, in part: "I am a practical business man' overwhelrned with the cares of business. It is exceedingly difficult for me to get on the plane of philosophical thought' I am a practical man. I believe in the Old Testament and the New Testament. It was the atheism of France that (Continued on Page 10)

(Continued from Page 8) taught license for liberty and led to the French Revolution.Where are those old philosophers and philosophies now? They are dead, while Christianity survives. The school of atheism led to despair.

"They tell us that there is no more Creator, only a cosmic dust. Who made the dust? There is only protoplasm, indeed. Who made the protoplasm? They tell us of evolu,tion from monkey to man; but all the scientists have never found the missing link. The simple gospel of the Son of a Carpenter, preached by twelve fishermen, has survived the centuries and outlives all other philosophies. There is no liberty that lasts in this world, and there is no government which has liberty in it which lasts, that does not recognize theBible."

Now let's drop the subject of our American subversives, and talk about something far more pleasant-ADvERTISING. George Washington Hill died recently. He was President of the American Tobacco Company, and probably the most famous advocate of advertising in history. He started work at the age of twenty for five bucks a week, and worked up to where he was getting four hundred thousand dollars annually. He did it by advertising. That was another'of those miracles that "couldn't happen now." Flowever, it did then.

And the man who has succeeded him in that tremendous business ofEce as President and manager of American Tobacco Company is another Horatio Alger success hero' He came to this country from Italy at the age of five. In 1905 he was a barber in New York City. He says he charged fifteen cents for a shave and twenty for a haircut, and got along fine. He quit the barbering business to go out selling tobacco for the American Tobacco Company' Now he is its President. His name is Vincent Rigio. Pretty hard to beat those sort of success stories.

{<*t<

When you say a man is the greatest advertiser in history, you must take into consideration Wm. Wrigley. In most business success stories there is generally room fo: a difference of opinion as to rvhat caused it. But with VJrr' Wrigley, there was none. Advertising and only advertising did the job. You see, when he started advertising his gum at first-HE HAD NO GUM. All he had was a name' and a wrapper, and some swell ads. When the ads brought orders for gum he bought the gum from already established gurn makers who were short of orders. They did not advertise'

t< 16 i<

Wrigley, you see, sold gum and then bought it' He reversed the regular procedure. He spent a million dollars advertising Wrigley's gum before he ever made a stick of gum. Then he spent multiplied millions additional keeping his five cent article before the public. He said he did not know whether advertising was an art' a science, or a business; all he l<new was that when he advertised, he sold gum, and when he quit advertising he quit. selling gum. -imple, wasn't it? He made multiplied milli6ns in profits, and taught the whole world to chew gum.

The other day Secretary of Agriculture Anderson addressed the American Forestry Association meeting in Washington, D. C., and he just hauled off and recommend': ed Government control of all American forests, regardless of ownership. Concerning which the editor of the Chicago Tribune delightfully commented: "The suggestion is a splendid one, provided this nation wishes before long to be without forests and without lumber. Mr. Anderson's proposal will appeal only to those naive souls who fancy that the best way to solve any economic problem is to give the bureaucrats a chance to go to work on it. How this kind of thing works out in practice CAN BE LEARNED BY VISITING A BUTCHER SHOP. Mr. Anderson's success in maintaining a supply of meat is hardly a recommendation for extending his powers to other matters about which he knows even less, if that is possible."

**{<

Them's harsh words. What hurts is they're true. That the Government will ruin anything of a business character it touches, seems to need no argument or proof in these times. And even though our Government were capable of handling the forestry situation in such fashion as to guarantee a permanent and satisfactory supply of forest products-a thing few practical men would ever believe-think what we would lose at the same time. We would lose the right of forest ownership in our American way of life. If i'hc Government is to decide all matters concerning the raising and cutting of timber, then what possible difference can it make who owns the timber, and who cuts it? Ownership under such restrictions, ceases to be ownership, and becomes confiscation. As one forester in attendance at the meeting remarked, this was the first time "they have evei come right out in meeting and told us how the hogs intend to eat the cabbage." **{<

And in closing, let's mention "wolves." Not the kind that run the forests primeval, but the kind that are alleged to give the "wolf whistle" on our street corners, and at the female of the species. What a cinch lawsuit the wolves have right now against American slang users. The newest, latest. most mouthed and mumbled term you hear on screen and radio, read in newspapers and magazines, is "wolf." It is used to describe a predatory male human; predatory in the sexual sense. It has become common u,sage. The fellow whose business is "picking them up," is a "wolf"' Which is about as close as we poor humans ever come to getting anything straight. For in real life the wolf is one of the most moral of all things that live in the animal kingdom. Wolves mate in the spring by joint consent. Their partnership is permanent. They have and need no divorce courts. They do no "stepping out." They are devoted and loyal to one another. Taken all in all the wolf is the direct opposite in moral character of the so-called human "wolf." We got this foolish term from the eatertainment worldradio, screen, stage. TheY would !

The Bed Bug Letter

I have told this story for at least thirty years, but have never printed it before. I consider it the very best letter story in history; and many of the best stories in history have been letter stories. This is it:

A high-toned business executive was returning home in a Pullman sleeping car, and, as he was getting up in the morning, he discovered to his horror, a bed bug in his berth. Enraged he went to his office, and as first order of business he dictated a letter to the Pullman Company that fairly burned the paper on which his secretary typed it' His indignation knew no bounds,'so he just took the wrapper entirely off of his vocabulary of invectives in statin-g iis opinion of train beds that had bed bugs in them' It was trhe meanest, dirtiest letter he had ever written, but he seemed to think it justified.

A few days passed, and here came a reply' It was on Ptrlhnan Company stationery, and was signed by the executive vice president of the company. It was as delightful, as courteous, as gentlemanly a letter as he had ever read, the writer making no efiort to stoop to the level of his critic by employing vitriolic writing' The letter said that the Pullrnan Company spent millions of dollars annually to keep its beds clean. That no effort was too great or too expensive in their routine of keeping their berths that way. But that no effort is one hundred per cent per-

New Plywood Plcrnt and Sqwmill To Be Built At Cloverdcrle

Announcement has been made that a plywood plant and lumber mill will be built at Cloverdale, Calif' The new organiz'ation has purchased timber on the Garcia River' ihe principals are: Henry Crowfoot, Harry Murphy' Frank Teliston, and W' E' Difford'

fect, and sometimes at the rarest intervals, some traveler with vermin in his luggage got into one of their beds, and left bugs behind him. It would not happen once in a million rides. You could travel the rest of your life, and it would never happen again. But it had happened this tlme, and all the Company could do was express its deep regret and complete humiliation, and hope that the gentleman would understand, and forgive this one sad accident.

The complaining gentleman was completely disarmed. Herc he had sent them a lousy, insulting, ungentlemanly letter, and in reply the high vice president himself had replied, explained and apologized. He was flabbergasted, and told his secretary so. He had acted like a complete boor. he said, and the Pullman Company had fairly showed him up by their cou,rteous handling of the situation. He would sit down right then, he said, and write a note of apology for his insulting letter. But just then in handling the Company letter, he discovered that it was double. Investigating, he found it was two letters stuck together, his own insulting letter being on the bottom, and having, in some v/ay, become stuck to the Company reply. So, curiously he pulled them apart. And there, across the face of his letter he saw written in a heavy black pencil the following instructions:

Only Philippine Hcrdwood Shipment

The 500,000 ft. shipment of Philippine Mahogany purchased by Forsyth Flardwood Co., San Francisco, the only cargo of hardwoods to escape the embargo of the Philippine Government, has been tied up in Los Angeles harbor awaiting the end of the shipping strike, when it will be delivered at San Francisco.

Vote lor Free Enterprisers for Office

Free enterprise took a hurtful blow in the solar plexus before the year 1933 was more than half over, when the New Deal began its fight {or votes and the po\\rer that comes r','-th them, by driving wedges betu'een masses ancl classes, between employer and employe in this country. It has been getting kicked around ever since.

For years before the r'var started hair-brained firmllling l'ith ottr economic, financial, industrial, and commercial affairs by the national government, kept free enterprise tied hand and foot, and kept the depression alive. It could have beerr terminated at anv time by the simple expedient of removing the hard heel of government from the prostrate tl.rroat of business.

I-arvs were passed that by their own wording and by the abortive science of definition, deprived one class of citizens of the liberty and equality u'e had ahvays boasted, and made privileged classes of others. At one time we were advised that government was going to give private enterprise a "breathing spell" to see rvhat it could accomplish to straighten out our domestic muddle; llut the promise was never kept. We went into the war with a great depression still on, and the time-honored things that made this country great, forbidden by regulatioh and restriction from trying its hand at affecting a cure.

We came out of the war in fine condition to put free enterprise back to rvork to accomplish her miracles of prosperity making; but the shackles of government regulation, restriction, and management were never lifted, and still continue today. We have a managed economy; very badly managed.

There is only one intelligent way in which this nation can work its way out of its muddlement, and that is by rvay of the ballot. We must make it our duty to help elect men to office-to high and lorvly office-who believe

in free, private enterprise, rvho believe in the American system of doing things, and rvl-ro want to get rid of this managed economy we are suffering from just as soon as possible. It is the duty of everv llttsiness man to help bring about the mighty changes that are so vitally needed. If rve do not help elect the right kind of men, it is our own fault if the wrong kind keep in office.

Let tts get men into office who rvill work to restore all our lost or invaded liberties at the earliest possible moment. A free America is a safe America.

S. F. Lumbermen's Club Members Hear Football Talk

There was a good turnout of members at the luncheon meeting of San Francisco Lumbermen's Club to hear a talk by Louis "Dutch" Conlan, former star of St. Mary's football teams, and norv principal of Mission High School, San Francisco, and outstanding referee of the Pacific Coast Conference. The meeting' \\'as held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, October 22.

Herb Schaur, the club's new president, presided.

Larue Woodson, on behalf of the club presented Dave Davis, retiring president, with a splendid wrist watch, as a token of the members' appreciation of the fine job that Dave did last year. He also presented Paul Overend, the club's very efficient secretary-treasurer with a $100 Victory Bond.

President Schaur announced that the paid-up membership of the organization is now 145, and that it is hoped that this number rvill be substantially increased during the next year.

Directors of the VERIPLY organization-the WoodPly Research Foundation, Inc., held their third annual meeting at the Blackstone Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, on September 30 and October l, 1946.

The Foundation has made a great deal of progress during the past year in the development of new plywood and relatecl products, and as conditions improve in the next few months, it is expected that manl' of these ply'rvoocl products will be on the market.

The major program lvhich rvas launched cluring the past year by the Wood-Ply Research Foundation is the VERIFLV gtu" program. VERIPLY plastic resin rvaterproof glue is unexcelled {or use in bonding lumber and plywood ind has made a phenomenal sho',r'ing in the few months it has been on the market' Reports are coming in from all over the country that VERIPLY glue is the ideal glue for bonding wood, chiefly because it is rvaterproof and is alg'ays fresh.

The group decidecl to continue the VERII'LY aclvertising program in regional tracle papers and rvill expand its national advertising program as soon as plylvood products are in better supply.

President George W. Bateman sumtnarized the l-neeting by saying "The progress oI the Wood-Ply Research Foundation to date is indicative of the promising future for the plywood industry. In the next few months it may be expected that plywood will be in greater supply and we should come nearer to satisfying the demand than in the past."

Managing Director Wellington R' Burt said "As soon a. ply."ood mills are able to get into production on new plywood products, we will be able to furnish the public 'rvith modern construction materials which r,vill mean better homes and furniture for better living for everyone."

The new officers of the Foundation are as follows: president, George W. Bateman, r'ice-president, J. Glennon Cahill, secretary-treasurer, Wellington R. Burt.

Executive committee: Alvin J. Huss, D' Carlysle MacLea, Alva C. Sconce.

Who Indeed?

Men don't believe in.a Devil now, As their fathers used to do; They've forced the door of the broadest creed To let his majesty through. There isn't a print of his stealthy foot, Or a fiery dart from his bow. To be found in earth or air today, F'or the world has voted it so.

But who is mixing the fatal draught That palsies heart and brain. And loads the bier of each passing year With ten hundred thousand slain?W_ho blights the bloom of the land today, With the fiery breath of HelI?

If the Devil isn,t and never was. Won't somebody rise and tell?

Who dogs the step of the toiling saint, And digs the pit for his feet?

Who sows the tares in the field of time. Wherever God sows his wheat?

The Devil is voted not to be And of course they think it,s true:But then, who is doing the kind of work That the Devil alone, can do?

\Me are told he does not go about As a roaring lion now; But whom shall we hold responsible For the everlasting row

To be heard in home, in church, in state To the earth's remotest bound. If the Devil, by unanimous vote. fs nowhere to be found?

W9n't somebody step to the front, forthwith, And make their bow, and show How the frauds and crin:es of a single day Spring up? We want to know.

The Devil was fairly voted out, And they claim the Devil's gone;

But simple folk v",ould like to krro* Who carries his business on?

Tells Legionnaires Private Enterprise Can Do The Veteran's Housing Job

An advertisement by the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California was printed in the San Francisco Examiner and San Francisco News the day that Wilson Wyatt, national housing expediter of Washington, D. C', appeared before the business session of the American Legion national convention in San Francisco.

The ad was titled: "Veterans Here Is The Way To Get That Home You Need and Here Is What Is Required To Provide It For You."

A part of the ad that told the veterans what is needed to help themselves read as follows:

1. Get the facts.

2. Insist on the elimination of bureaucratic bungling and a return to the historical method of "good" home building.

3. Support the free enterprise method in home building. It built well in the past. Free of burdensome government restrictions, it can build even more and better homes in the future.

4. Urge your local and national officers to consult regularly with the lumber and building industry and support its stand that private enterprise can accomplish the veteran's housing job.

This well-timed ad did its part in telling the Legionnaires and the people of San Francisco the retail lumber dealers'story.

Lumber Tariffs Lifted

Washington, Oct. 2S.-President Trurnan today authorized importation of lumber duty free, and Wilson Wyatt recommended $54,000,000 in Federal loans for makers of prefabricated homes.

The actions came as it became clear that Housing Expediter Wyatt would fall short of his 1946 goal of. l,ZA0,000 new dwellings started. Officials said, however, a major effort would be made to get a flying start on the 1947 target of 1,500,000.

The suspension of tari11 rates, the President said, rvill remain in effect until the end of the Veterans' Emergency Housing Act, or until Mr. Truman rules t.hat the emergencv has passed, "rvhichever shall first occur."

Only Sligrht F-{fect Seen by Lumbermcn

Oregon, Oct.25.-Tarifi-free importations of lumber rvill have little effect on easing the housing shortage, H. V. Simpson, executive vice-president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, predicted today.

He said Canada would be the major source of imports under President Truman's tariff suipension order. i".tern Canadian lumber already has received a higher price and imports are coming in rvith that stimulus, Simpson said, while British Clolurnl>ia lumber is the tvpe not in short supply.

"Nothing Too Much"

By Adeline Conner

"There's nothing too much for the boys to give," Those were the words we said; "Nothing too much to give or do When peace from the world has fled." So they offered all when their country called, And gave till their young hearts bled; "Nothing too much," their lips replied Though the dreams of youth lay dead.

"Nothing to omuch," and so they gave The joy and the gleam of life, Their strong young hands and their agile feet, The love of sweetheart and wife; The peace of home, and the long, long dreams, Of years that were not to be, A mother's smile and her tender arms ' That the world might indeed be free.

They carried the world in their brave young hearts, With its burden of hate and greed, And into their untried hands we gave Its infinite pain and need. Boys they were when they marched away, But men when we called them back.

For the brain and the heart may be seared and scared That follow the war god's track.

"Nothing too much," and they freely gave To the ultimate gift of life-

' Going west !" through a roaring Hell In the bitterest hour of strife.

Day after day as the mad years passed, They followed where duty led, And many the dear familiar name In the list of those called "dead."

Oh, they gave, they gave, and then came back, And now, in the marts of trade, We pass them by with a heedless word, Forgetting the price they paid.

And they think sometimes as in waking dreams They see war's red flames dance, "FIow peaceful and safe are those who sleep In their low, green graves in France."

Augustus Wilson Clapp, nationally known lawyer and counsel for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., passed away in a Tacoma, Wash., hospital on October 5. He came to Tacoma from St. Paul, Minn., in 1940, and held the positions of vice president, general counsel, director, and member of the executive committee for the company there.

He u'as born in lludson, Wis., February 9, 1877, grad,uated from Yale in 189.8, and was admitted to the Minnesota bar in 1901.

Redwood Lumber Products Receive Ceiling Price Increcrses

Washington, October l4-Ceiling prices of dry and finished redwood lumber products were increased an average of $2 per thousand, and mill ceilings for split redwood cross ties werg raised $7.50 per thousand board feet, the Office of Price Administration announced.

All increases are effective Oct. 16.

Specific dollar-and-cent increases on redwood items, to cover processing are : $7 per thousand for resawn siding; $3 per thousand for other pattern items; $2.50 for drying; $2 for surfacing, and $3 for working to pattern. Increases were designed to encourage production of lumber products needed for veterans' housing.

The higher price of cross ties, OPA said, will be passed on to the railroads. Split redwood ties normally account for l/o to 2/o of redwood lumber production.

Douglcs Fir

Douglas fir lumber mills which do not customarily ship by water may now do so from West Coast ports without being required to absorb the cost of transportation to shipside. (Amendment 3 to second revised MPR 26, effective Oct. 30.)

Western Pine Stock Screen Goods

Effective October 17, 1946, manufacturers are permitted a full pass-through of the increases in ceilings in Western pine shop lumber and the advance in freight rates recently granted. The new ceilings amount to a 3.65 percent increase on manufactLlrers' delivered prices and a 3.97 per cent increase on f.o.b. mill prices. (Amendment No. 11 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 38l-Stock Screen Goods; effective Ooctober 17. 1946.\

Edge Grain Western Red Cedcn Plywood

Eliminating any further need for individual applications for ceiling prices on edge grain \A/estern red cedar plywood, OPA has established ceiling prices for this commodity. These ceilings replace those established in individual letter orders and will also effect a uniform price level for the product. (Order No. 1 under Third Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. l3-Edge Grain Western Red Cedar Plywood: effective October 26, 1946')

Stock Millwork

Jobbers of stock millwork affected by recent freight increases have had their prices adjusted to compensate for the increases. (Amendment 14 to MPR 525, effective Oct. 26.\

Lutiber Placed Under Control of New

Washington, D. C., Oct. l8.-Lumber has been placed under the control of a nerv limitation order, the Clvilian I)roduction Administration announced today.

The nerv order, L-359, will take the place of Direction I to Priorities Regulation 33, which direction u.ill be revoked on October 31. L-359 becomes effective on Novem_ ber 1.

While the new control is substantially the same as Direction 1, it contains several new provisions. Most import_ ant of these changes is that which permits a distributor to use a limited number of the HH (veterans, housing) ratings he receives from builders to obtain housing con_ struction lumber direct from his supplier. Up to now dis_ tributors have obtained lumber on a percentage of their 1912 inventoty.

Sawmills are also required to hold their production set-aside for rated and certified orders for approximately two months instead of only during the month it is pro_ duced as has been the requirement under Direction l.

In the ner,v regulation millwork manufacturers are per_ mitted to obtain 11 per cent rather than g per ceni of the quantity of the housing coustruction lumber and cut stock they obtained in 1940. In a similar increase, hardwood flooring manufacturers may get 10 per cent rather than 8 per cent of the quantity of lumber they consumed in 1940 base period.

Specifically, the nen' provisions affect sau,mills, dis_ tributors, millr.ork and cut stock manufacturers, harclt'ood flooring manufacturers, builders, prefabricators, and house trailer manufacturers.

A distril>utor is permitted to place each month certified orders u,ith his supplier for housing construction lumber for one of the follo.,r.ing amounts, whichever is greatest:

(l) an amount of housing construction lumber not ex_ ceeding 5 per cent of the amount in footage of his January 1, 1942, softwood lumlter inventory, or (2) t.ivo carloads of housing construction lumber in any calendar quarter at the rate of not more than one carload in any month of the quarter, or (3) 133 l/3 per cent of the amount of housing construction lumber called for by certified or ratecl orders accepted by the distributor for delivery in the month in which delivery is requested of the sawmill, but not in excess of 13 per cent of the distributor's softwood Itrnrlrer inventory of January I, 1942.

A distributor rvho buys more tl.ran trvo c:rrloads a quarter of housing construction lumber must reserye 75 per'cent {or delivery only on certified and ratecl orders. The same percentage applies to the housing construction lumber he imports. These reserves must be held until the end of the month follorving the month in rvhich the lumber is received. In other rvords, the lumber he receives on certified orders or imports in October must be held until the last day of November.

A distributor who buys less than two carloads a quarter must hold 75 per cent of the housing construction lumber received until the'end of the month in which it is received. In both cases the remaining 25 per cent may be sold by the distributor in any manner he wishes, rvithout regard to priorities.
