WASHINGTON. June 4.
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.
