Mack (R-Wash) says that reduction or removal of the present tariff on plywood is a threat to employment in the Pacific northwest. In a speech to the House, Mack said that if the tariff is reduced the United States will be flooded with Canadian, Mexican and Japa nese plywoods and , workers in northwest plywood plants may lose their jobs. "There are 56 plywood plants operating in the Pacific coast states," Mack said, "29 in Wash ington, 22 in Oregon and five in California. These plants employ 18,500 workers and have annual payrolls of $66,000,000. Of these plants, 42 operate in small towns where curtailment of their produc tion would seriously affect the en tire economic life of the commu nities. This is too large an indus try to be sacrificed on the altar of reciprocal trade." He said American operators and workers "simply canrtot compete" with wage rates in Canada, Japan or Mexico unless given adequate tariff protection. Reduction or removal of the 40 percent ad valorem tariff on ply woods, Mack said, is to be con sidered in negotiations at the Liv erpool trade conference in September.

Full Time Parole Board ; Favored By Gov. Mc Kay I PORTLAND, May 26. UP) A salaried, full time parole board will be proposed to the legislature in 1951 by Governor Douglas Mc Kay, an aide reported. T. Lawson McCall, president of the Oregon Prison association, told members the full time board was '. needed because of a growing prison population. He added it is cheaper to keep tab on parolees than keep the convicts behind the prison walls. The present parole board is a : volunteer one. , The prison population was about 800 in 1945, McCall said, and now t averages 1,435. For a fifth of Hie I cost of keeping those men in j prison, he reported, the parole staff ; is able to supervise 1,600 parolees.
