it to you in two words:
"Tight money.'
In the year since these two
words first came into public use
they have been blamed for every
thing but the common cold.
In the last two weeks, lumber
producers have been getting a con
centrated lesson in what the two
words encompasses. At a meeting
of the Western Forest Industries
Assn. in Vancouver, B. C, and
another meeting of the West Coast
Lumbermen's Assn. in Portland
they were told that there are aa
many ramifications to what ia go
ing on in the housing business as
a band saw haa teeth.
Each of these ramifications haa
some effect on home construction.
In 1955 home building waa at an
all-time high of 1.350,000 atarta.
Lumbermen couldn't aeem to satis
fv the demand for forest product.
Mortgage credit waa free and easy.
In fact it waa too free and easy.
The Federal Reserve Board, keep
ing a aharp eye on the atate of the
, economy, foresaw a burgeoning
inflation and clamped on some con-'
trols. The board, through it re
gional banks, began charging more
for the money it loaned to mem
ber banks. It became less easy
for homebuilders to get credit and
financing.
At the aame time, the industry
itself apparently underwent a
change. There was a shift from
many relatively low-cost units to
fewer, more expensive nouses.
Early in 1956. lumber and ply'
wood producera watched housing
start slide off their peak. Fewer
than 1,100.000 new bouse were
started that year.
Lumber demand akidded down'
ward almost In pace with the new
start. By the beginning of 1957
the monthly lumber production
rate was 7 U 10 per cent below
the five-year average.
Western producera acrambled to
hold their markets and to develop
new one to cushion the drop.
More serious for most Western
Oregon mills was the aharp drop
in lumber prices. Buyer began to

In manv cases, these prices
! there waa little left in between for
logging and milling costs, let alone
profit.
The result was a general cutback
in production during 1956, and pro
bably during most of 1957. This
is why you probably can find
someone in your neighborhood,
Eerhaps even yourself, who has
ad a pretty lean time of it.
In many cases the mills have
been able to soften the shock to
individual employes by working
shift on alternate weeks giving
each man one week of work out
of every two or so or by cut
ting back from five to four day
weeks.
The picture is not all bleak.
There are some encouraging aigna
for the near future despite pre
dictions that house construction
starts this year will be down
around one million or even less.
Almost everyone says there will
be a great year dawning about

Net Another Surtax
When re Dorter asked whether
the Dooley plan waa just a surtax
under another name, the governor
replied :
"I don't think ao. The bif dis
satisfaction with the 1955 Legis
lature' tax oroeram was its re

waa discrimination against persons

He said that there Is "a hue

but it should be directed against
taxes at the local level. If people
understood the state tax picture
and how the money is used, they
wouldn't complain so much."
The House Taxation Committee
hopes to begin work Tuesday on
the tax program.
Dooley said that h has received

He added that th House prob

He added that he still wants the

Eye Witness Accounts Told
Of Fiery Death In LA Bar
LOS ANGELES, (jH "One
moment I had a cafe full of happy
people having a good time. Then
a sudden flash and the bar turned
into a hell on earth."
Still numb with shock, bartend
er, Larry Fenton, 24, spoke halt
ingly as he told newsmen of the
searing moments during which six
persons died when his place was
bombed shortly before midnight.
"I can still hear the screams
of the dying," he said.
"I can still feel th flames. I
still can't believe it. . . lt was
too gruesome. And so senseless.
Three men, apparently enraged
at being ejected earlier from the
bar, came back and poured a
nucket of inflammable liquid on
the floor and touched it off with
a match.
There was a fiery flash.
Most of the dead were trapped
where they were seated," Fenton
said. "Their clothes were on fire
and the flames licked at their
flesh. 1 saw one woman running
about with her hair on fire."
"I saw one man struggling to
get out of a booth. He screamed
and collapsed on the table and
the flames closed over him...
"I'll never forget the faces of
those fiendish men. Some day I'll
be on a witness stand and I'll
point at them and say, "there are
your murderers.'
