LOW IN PRICE New Big Industry Using Legnin May Soon Be Started PORTLAND wi Lignin, a sub: stance found in growing trees, may provide a new chemical industry for the Pacific Northwest, J. D. Zellerbach said Monday. Zellerbach, president of the huge Crown Zellerbach paper corpora tion, told the Portland Chamber of Commerce that this substance, which binds wood fibers together in a tree, is being tested in labora tories. ' "When we find the answers, and we are making progress, lignin could be the basis for another chemical industry similar to the coal tar-based industries such as dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals -and plastics. That could give us a tre mendous chemical industry right here in the forest heartland," he said. Zellerbach also predicted a bright outlook for the paper industry. Estimates by his firm "indicate the total production of the paper industry in the Pacific Northwest should increase by 55 ner cent over the next 10 years and that it should provide the Northwest wrth some 37,000 jobs and a 175 million dollar payroll by 1965," he said. Zellerbach said his firm planned to spend 70 million dollars in the next two years to increase produc tion. "Certainy a substantial part of that will go into this area," he added.

But after the judge nerformcd the ceremony, officially tieing the marital Knot tor Kautcrine Bender, 47, and Joseph S. Cvitkovic. 66 both of Seattle, and both formerly of Yugoslavia, he learned what had happened. The couple had come to the Courthouse in 1949, took out a mar riage license, and because of in conveniences had asked for and received a waiver of the waiting period, required by law They had intended to be married by a judge, and because of all the administerings of oaths and the like at the Courthouse, actually thought the ceremony had been performed. They became concerned, they said, when they found the' mar riage license never had been com pletely signed, and thought they better check up on the matter.
