Itli LUMBER SITUATION By Charles V. Stanton Employment in Dougla county' lumber industry has been little affected by the sharp break in prices. The employment office reports no mills forced to close by the price drop, insofar as known. Actunll", the break could not have come at a more opportune time, Insofar as Douglas county is concerned, h-.d it not been for the freight car shortage. Had we been able to move our lumber as it was produced, the price drop would have been timed to correspond to the normal shutdown period. But because freight cars were not avail alle, mills nave large stockpiles of lumber to move at the lower prices. The fact that stocks in mill yards were so high possibly had an effect in bringing prices down, for distribution of this surplus supply was certain to overstock the market nnd thus force prices down. Manv of our small mills normally close with the firat rains. Situated in remoU a-ag and at high elevations, dependent on dirt roads for transportation, they shut down as soon as weather makes roads impassable. These are the mills most affected by market fluctuations. Con sequently the price break does not materially change their employment status. Indicating are that prices will not go much lower than at present. In fact, slight rises are jreported in some grades on which the cut was most severe. An adjustment is in process. This may take a short time. Within a few weeks the military situation should begin to be felt in the lumber industry. The armed services will need materials to rebuild training camps and construct new ones. Lumber will be needed for crating supplies. Lumber is one of the most vital of war materials. Even though some mills might be forced to close because of price drops, the closure, for the most part, conforms to the usual seasonal shutdown, so employment is little affected. Larger concerns, on good road or rail roads, will maintain operation as usual. Weather already has curtailed logging in some areas. Before he industry gets back to full production In the spring, prices should be stabilized. Indications are for a firm market, despite controls on home and business con struction. Local economy apparently will suffer little from the flurry in the lumber market. Ballot Measures ly CHARLES V. STANTON Unless majority vote ii received en the "Needy Aged Persons Public Assistance Act," appearing on the Nov. 7 ballot, ur state welfare program will ba thrown into a tailtpin, wa fear. Much information and misinformation ara available on this measure, the outgrowth of what, in our opinion, it irrespon tibia action on the part of former State Senator Joe E. Dunne, and hit cohort!.

At the 1948 election, the so-callrd Dunne bill was passed by a sub stantial majority. The bill was so inefficiently written that it would have disrupted the state's welfare program, and possibly would have caused loss of federal cooperation. As the federal government pays more than 50 percent of old-age assistance, while the state pays is an "optional recovery" provi sion. The bill passed by the legislature provides that the welfare commis sion, which is granted wide dis cretionary powers, is authorized to file a preferred claim against the estate of a deceased beneficiary for assistance given during the bene ficiary's lifetime. No such claim, however, may be filed during the lifetime of the beneficiary while the home is occupied by the bene ficiary, spouse, minor dependent child or parent of a deceased re cipient. In other words, no claim WASHINGTON f.P) Five years alter the end of World War II. three states still are wrestling with the problem of a veterans bonus.

They also have an amend ment to up the limit to JM.OOO. 000 on the total amount of outstand ing veterans' farm and home loans. The present ceiling is $37,500,000.

Fulton Lewis Jr. Column To Start In News-Review Fulton Lewis Jr., one at Amer ica's top reporters, will write a factual column of exclusive news from the nation's capital for the News-Review beginning Monday, Oct. 30. Lewis' column, "Washington Re port," will carry the news beats and background material u n earthed by the commentator's per sonal staff of eight investigators Lewis, whose radio commentary has been bringing him 3.000 letters a week, has a listening audience of 15,000,000 persons. Congress was besieged by more than 500,000 com munications when Lewis urged his listeners to make known their views on the Taft-Hartley Act in the form of answers to 19 questions be had framed. His column will contain different material from his broadcasts, which are carried over 520 stations six days a week. Lewis had de voted his time exclusively to radio since 1945, but in returning to news paper work, be said: "A newspaper column is my first love and I've beep missing the smell of printer's ink." Lewis has broken such exclusivea as the expenditure of $175,000,000 in a fruitless quest for a Govern ment oil supply in Alaska; the bungling of the synthetic rubber program in World War II; delays in the construction of Pearl Harbor's radar defenses; the air mail scan dals of the 1930's and the case of former Lieut. -Commander John S. Farnesworth, only U. S. Navy officer sent to prison for espionage. Lewis was born in Washington, D. C. .April 30, 1903, and attended Western High School, in Washing ton, and the University of Virginia. He has been a Washington reporter and commentator for 26 years. He was the first commentator to receive the Distinguished Citizens Award of the Catholic War Vet erans of New York and was the only recipient of two citations from the Junior Chamber of Commerce as one of America's Ten Outstand ing Young Men. In 1942 he re ceived both the Alfred 1. DuPont and Sigma Delta Chi commentator awards. Churchill Tells Of Insults From Stalin At Parley NEW YORK W Premier Stalin insuited Winston Churehiii when the British prime minister told him British and American troops could not invade the Eu ropean continent in 1942. Churchill, in the fourth volume of his war memoirs, writes that Sta lin took the news disagreeably and taunted Churchill with the jibe that the British army was afraid to fight The memoirs are being serial ized in Life magazine. Despite the Russian leader's harsh words, Churchill said he kept his own temper and that he and Stalin parted on friendly terms.. The proposed second European front operation "sledgehammer" was abandoned temporarily by U. S. -British agreement in favor of the landings in North Africa operation "torch." Stalin, Churchill writes, accused the B.ilish of breaking a promise about "sledgehammer." He also charged that the Western Allies "failed in delivering the supplies promised to Russia and only sent remnants after we had taken all we needed ourselves." The clash of leaders occurred during Churchill's visit to Moscow in 1942. Churchill relates that he was of fended by many things said to him during the Moscow conferences. But. he added: "I made every allowance for the strain under which the Soviet lead ers lay, with their vast front flam ing and bleeding along nearly 2,000 miles, and the Germans but 50 miles from Moscow and advancing towards the Caspian sea." MARSHALL PLAN AIDS STOCKPILE - With no. additional outlay of American taxpayers' dollars, the Economic Cooperation Administration (ECA) has purchased $64 million worth of strategic materials since the Marshall Plan began in 1948. In addition to the bigger purchases (shown on newschart), the ECA has stockpiled varying amounts of palm oil. graphite, platinum, lead, sperm OIL quinidine, cryolite and fluompar the latter two items are used In making aluminum. Officials say the scarce materials bought with foreign currencies available to the U. S. under the Marshall Plan are cheaper than it paid for with American dollars.

Bomb Blasts Doors Of Liquor Business CHICAGO JF A small bomb, described by police as "strictly an amateur job," last night blew out two doors of the Gold Seal Liquors, Inc., owned by former Capone henchman, Joe Fusco. Deputy Chief of Detectives John T. O'Malley said the bomb appar ently was made of dynamite. Dam ages totaled $250, he said. Fusco, 48. recently testified be fore Sen. Kefauver's crime investi gating committee that he emerged from the prohibition era with $30.. euo with which he organized the liquor distriguting firm. One por tion of the committee's hearing here was devoted to Fusco's cur rent activities, his firm's opera tions and income. Neither Fusco nor police could effer a motive for the bombing. A Dutch sloop carrying $15,000, 000 in cash sank off Lews. Del., in 1789, with only a few coins ever being recovered.
