The census bureau reports that value added by manufacture in the three Pacific Coast states in creased 260 per-cent in the eight years between 1939 and 1947. Value added is the amount by which the value of shipments of finished products exceed the cost of original materials and sup plies. The Increase for the nation as a while, as disclosed in prelim inary analysis of the 1947 census of manufacturers, was about 200 per cent. In the Pacific Coast states of Washington, Oregon and Cali fornia the value added bv manu facturer amounted to $5,500,000, 000 in 1947 compared with $1,500, 000,000 in 1939. Manufacturing establishments in those states reported employ ment of 745,000 production work ers during 1947, an Increase of 80 per cent over the 411,000 pro duction workers in 1939. The Pacific states ranked In 1947 in the same order as in 1939 in terms of value added by man ufacturer: California, Washing ton and Oregon. But the greatest percentage In crease over 1939 was in Oregon, with a jump of 330 per cent. Cali fornia was second with 255 per cent increase, and Washington, third, with a 225 per cent in crease. The largest Industry group In the Pacific states, and in Cali fornia, was food and kindred pro ducts. Lumber and lumber pro ducts, except furniture, was the largest industry in Washington and Oregon. ' Transportation equipment showed the greatest percentage increase among the larger Indus try group In the Padfie states. For these industries, value added increased 445 per cent and pro duction worker employment 230 per cent. These figures for transporta tion equipment compare with in creases of 230 per cent in value added and 80 per cent In produc tion workers in the whole United States. Transportation equipment showed the highest percentage Increase in California and Ore gon, while in Washington the greatest percentage increase oc curred in the primary metal in dustries. ' Oregon had 3,075 establish ments employing 92,000 produc tion workers in 1939. Value added by manufacture was $673,000,000 in 1947 compared with $156,700, 000 in 1939. American Whiskey May Be Added To Distilled Liquors WASHINGTON, June 6. OP) "American" whiskey may be added to the Scotch-Irish-Canadian roster of distilled liquors. The International Revenue Bu reau's alcohol tax unit scheduled a public hearing for July 11 on proposals to change its. regula' tlons so that whiskey so labelled would be legal. It isn't now. The amendments, if adopted, presumably would also put some more down pressure on prices by further expanding the supply of "aged" whiskey available. The chief proposed change would do that Dy allowing time spent in any oak container, whether used or new, to be Mon., June 6, 1949 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 1 counted as part of a whiskey's age." Under present regulations In this country but nowhere else In the world only time In new, charred oak containers can legal ly be counted as "age." There would be certain qualifi cations attached to the proposed "age" amendments: For whiskey to be called "bour bon" or "rye, lt would have to be aged at least six months in new, charred kegs. To be called "straight whiskey," lt would have to spend at least 24 months In new kegs. But additional time In used kegs could he counted In the age statement too. Thus, straight whiskey with 24 months In a new barrel and 24 more in a used bar rel would be "four years old." Clearance for U. S.. distillers to produce something they could call "American" whiskey would come from elimination of a regulation requiring liquor stored In used containers to be labeled simply as whiskey "distilled from rye (or bourbon, wheat, malt or rye malt) mash." Tt present, this whiskey may not be described as "aged." Eliminatfncr that iwinlramant officials said, would make pos sible U. S. production of a "light bodied" whisky comparable to the Cnnflriinn whislrpv nrnrtnw4 un der regulations that permit time in usea containers to oe counted in age statements.
