Stanton It isn't often that I comment on a letter written to some other newspaper. However, Thornton T. Munger recently said something in The- Ovegnnian that I've been tryinjr to Ret into this col umn for years. I've said it in different ways. Muntrer lays it on the line and minces no words. In my opinion, the facta need repeating, particularly now that the U.S. Forest Service is under such extreme pressure from some mm operators and their representatives. The Forest Service, according to news reports, is be. inn; charged with failure to sell up to the allowable cut, failure to sell certain timber, failure to sell in small lots, etc. The Forest Service prave figures to show it is selling up to allowable cut and denied many charges. Personally, I fail to see where we are getting by any argument to sell more logs. Our recession was caused by the fact that we' overproduced lumber. The more logs offered for sale, the auicker we will again be overproduc ins and.be back in depression. There is no industry I know of that has been up and down as often as has the lumber industry. Reaions Evident We might as well face the facts. What the small mill wants is a log at as low a price as possihle,vso a profit is available. Consequently, the mill operator and his repre sentatives want more logs. More logs mean less compe tition and lower price. I don't blame the small mill for wanting. The small mill also wants smaller sales. The Forest Service has had to hold big enough sales to cover .the cost of road building. The operator has had to build the road. In some cases the sales have been at considerable dis tance from one another, so that road would be built in front of tracts to be offered later. Only big operators have money with which to build roads. Congress has not given the Forest Service money with which to build, condemn nor maintain access roads. 'A news item recently said the Forest Service would use its powers of condemnation, but that nower definitely is limited. Munger recites in his letter that Oregon's lumber ca pacity is far ahead of growth capacity and that some mills must fold. That's a hard thing to say, but it is true, much as we hate to admit it. He said that condemnation of the Forest Service comes largely from "cut-out and get-out" operators who have exhausted their own timber. Converse ly, says he. a few years ago lumbermen were begging the Forest Service not to sell timber because federal tim ber would compete with private timber on a saturated market. The Forest Service, says M linger, has increased its stumpage sales from 129 million board feet in 1930 to morel than 214 billion feet in 1958. To charges that disease, blowdown and other factors are "wasting" timber, he raises the argument that price increases offset all losses. He also points nut that while critics claim Forest Service stumpage prices are threat ening financial disaster, all sales are made on competitive bid. If someone couldn't make a profit, there wouldn't be a bid that high. Munger closes his letter with a statement that we al ready are cutting our virgin timber ton rapidly and that the Forest Service is acting wisely in refusing to up its rate of cut. Limit Is Needed Munger. I believe, has a lot of truth in what he writes. Maybe he goes to extremes, in some cases, but, for the most part, 1 agree with what he has written. There is no question that we are overproducing. That is reflected in demand and price. We are overproducing because we have too much installed capacity. We also are cutting more logs into timber, boards and plywood than the market can absorb forever. I believe the Forest Service should make available all the logs a sustained yield program will permit. I believe the sustained yield and allowable cut, should be matched to modern usage, prevalence of disease, amount of sal vage, age, rate of growth, and other such factors. Look at the trucks coming in and you'll see log that shouldn't have been cut for the next 50 years! The small mills are hurting. It is a cruel thing to say. but the big mill, normally, makes better use of a log and, so, can afford to pav more. It has been industry his tory that many small mills have been forced out of busi ness. More and more the industry is passing into the hands of a few operators and big corporations. It isn't nice to contemplate, but it's a fact. The Forest Service, in my opinion, should nut be stam peded into something that is contrary to the public good over the years. It whs said in this column many years ago that the time would come when heavy pressure would be put on the Forest Service to sell federal timber faster than it should be sold. We're already feeling that pressure. It will get stronger. Whether the federal agencies will have the strength to resist remains to be seen.

Wide Variation Possible In Old Age Assistance WASHINGTON (AP) Persons on old age assistance rolls could receive benefits increases vary ing from 77 cents a month in Cal ifornia to $11.46 a month in Okla homa under the Social Security bill now before President Eisen hower. The additional federal money provided by the bill would permit the increases, varying by states, provided the stales and local com munities maintain their contribu tions to the federal-state program at their 1958-59 levels. The Social Security Administra tion Wednesday made available tables showing the changes which the new bill would make in pay ments to each beneficiary of the programs for old-age assistance, and aid to the blind, totally dis abled and dependent children. Based on continuation of state local contributions at 1958-59 lev els, the bill includes these in creases (unless otherwise noted) in the monthly benefit per recip ient: United States Old-age $473: Dependent Children $1.17: Blind $4.36: Disabled $5.01.

Stark St., Portland 5, Oregon Sept 22, 1958 had broken loose over the week end. He snatched Charlie away, the bird quacking loudly all the way down the street. His darling, her three little ceramic ducklings long since toppled over by Char lie's amorous advances, kept ber glaed eyes front. Then along came Miss Helen Mameo who said Charlie had es caped from her. She threatened custody battle in court. Dr. David C. Tudor, a poultry pathology expert at Rutgers Uni versity, said Charlie may have an adoption complex and found an outlet in the clay duck. Dr. James Weslman. head of the Rutgers wildlife conservation department, said Charlie either has a complex "or he's a very sliipid duck." Not so, said Miss Mameo. "Charlie's not nuts, he's just lonely." Thinking It Over By Robert L. Diatfenbachar, D. D. (Written (or NEA Service) Competition feeds the spirit of American sportsmanship and busi ness. Some compete for recog nition and acclaim. Others vie lo be heard by their fellow beings while others want lo merely pos sess what others want. Kven churches vie with each other to enhsl members or to in crease their popularity. Occasion ally a church will proselylue and will try to take memhers from other faiths to lill their own congre gations. It seems thai we ought to have some moral, and spiritual ground rules for oursehes in this matter of competition. It may he that the' Golden Rule could apply. 1'ossihly ue should evaluate our own honesty liefor competing to the point of destroying our opponents. We should limit uur competition to those areas where rompelilion stimulates constructive develop ment and thought. conditioned dining rooms.

The wages of the men of Hassi Messaoud oil site art? on the aver age twice as high as those of com parable workers in France. Their lodging costs nothing and their food costs about $15 a month. One of the oil companies esti mated that in addition to salary and initial investment in living quarters, each man costs it $14 a liy. Special wonusaa The workers also receive spe cial bonuses. n summer, when the outside temperature reaches 125 degrees Fahrenheit the bon uses are the highest. Kvery three weeks, the men of the Hassi Messaoud site are trans ported by plane free for a week's rest in Algiers. 500 miles away. Those who want to go to France musl pay their own way. Ninety per cent of Ihe workers are French citizens of whom two-thirds are Moslems. About 7 per cent are ex-Foreign I.egiun members and about 3 per cent are skilled foreign technicians. The site is linked with the oasis of Ouargla some 60 miles north by a recently built concrete road. Heavy trucks roll over the road while camels plod through the sands nearby. Old Timers Proud Most of the olil-limers are proud of making it into an oil town. None of the oil companies, how ever, has managed to solve the most acute problem lack of women. The siie is still not ready lo install family dwellings, and anyway the added cost frightens the firms. Said an ex-Foreign Legionnaire: "It is the third week here that A dm.
