A JUSTIFIED EXPENSE
By Charles V. Stanton
People may rightfully question nome expenditures by
our state trovernment. But one expenditure, it seems to
me, more than justifies itself. That is the amount of mon
ey spent by the Oregon Highway Commission to promote
tourist travel through advertising.
Last weekend I attended a meeting of the advisory
committee to the Travel Information Division of the State
Hiithwav Department. Carl Jordan, director, released to
the committee the findings covering the I960 tourist sea
son. Orecron. he said, realized approximately Sl70-million
from out-of-state tourists during the year. The advertising
expenditure was around $380,000. That's a terribly small
amount of money to be spent for such tremendous returns.
That advertising is in a big measure responsible tor pro
motion of tourist travel is indicated by the many requests
received by the department for information, indicating that
the advertisements are read, heard and seen.
Oregon's advertising goes to newspapers, magazines.
travel journals, radio and television. In each published ad
vertisement there is a coupon to be clipped. -Radio and
television programs tell of free literature. Through the
requests received, the department is able to measure the
effectiveness of its program. Further proof is obtained
through direct questions to out-of-state motorists.
jealousy Indicated
That there seems to be a little jealousy of the High
way Department's advertising success, coupled with a de
sire to chisel a piece from highway funds, is indicated by
the fact that some interests are proposing a statewide de
partment of advertising and promotion to be financed with
highway revenue.
It is planned to set up a department that would include
trade and industrial development in its promotional work.
The idea isn't new. It has been tried 'before. The
state's travel and information department has been ap
proached on various occasions to take over particular proj
ects. The committee, however, has contended that the
;money for the promotional program comes from highway
'funds. Consequently the work of the department should
ne in connection with highways and should be concerned
y,'lh the development of highway usage. Gasoline taxes re
ceived from highway usage pay the state's highway ad
vertising costs.
" No one, I feel, opposes statewide advertising and pro
motion. But it is not proper, in my opinion, to take high
way revenue and use it for general promotion purposes.
All too many efforts are being made to slice off chunks
pt the state's highway income. Every department of gov
ernment wants more money. 'Most of them would pre
fer to get money from some source other than direct tax-
nation. So if they can take r bite out of some other de
partment's income, they will be pleased.
.Big Amount Taken
; Already the State Highway Commission must distribute
some 38 per cent of its income to other uses before it gets
winy money to spend on the highways. It must give 19 per
Tcent of its. receipts to counties and 10 per cent to municipal
ities. It must pay a "tithe" for State Police. It must sup
port other activities.
i At the same time, Oregon is desperately In need of
"more money for belter highways. If you don't believe it,
'just try traveling some of our major roads, where overcon
jreslion leads to a high accident rate.
; A statewide travel and promotional project unques
tionably has merit, but if such an agency is to be formed
tit should not be financed by the Stale Highway Depart
':ment, nor should the existing program for promotion of
;tourist travel be disturbed. It is proving too valuable.
In Portland last week. Dr. White-
Stevens of the agricultural division
of the American Cyanamid Com-
Eany told us that while what u
appening to American agriculture
as the result of a law may not
look very good to us now it may
he very good for all of us over
the long pull.
Is he right?
Or is he wrong?
It's hard to say. In search of
an answer, let's take a look at
Cold Beach, over on the Southern
Oregon coast. In the interval Be
tween the days of old, the day. ol
gold, and the recent past, the pnn
cipal industry of Gold Beach was
commercial fishing. J here was a
cannery at the mouth of the Rogue. I
It provided a market for the fisher
men who spread their nets for the
salmon when they entered the river
in their annual runs.
They went on for decades. Then,
as in the case of agriculture, there
came a law. It was a law for
bidding commercial fishing in the
Rogue.
What happened?
The cannery closed. The fisher
men lost their jobs. The town stag
nated. Kor a time, the picture was
a gloomy one.
Then. . .
There was a change.
There came the sportsmen. They
came at first in small numbers.
They went home and told of their
catches. Hearing the stories, MOKE
SPORTSMEN CAME. They wanted
boats. They wanted guides. In the
coarse of time, the former com
merical fishermen were earning
MOKE as . guides and boatmen
than they had ever earned before.
The sportsmen were followed by
the tourists. The tourists demand
ed more and better roads. With
more and better roads, MOKE
TOURISTS CAME. Also more
sportsmen. The sportsmen not only
wanted to fish. They wanted to
take ineir Hsu home with them.
That resulted in a custom can
nery, which does a thriving busi
ness. J he sportsmen and the tour
ists wanted places to stay, so new
and modern motels were built. In
time, there came sawmills and ply
wood plants, providing payrolls.
And so on. Today Gold Beach is
one of the brightest, busiest, hand
somest small cities on the North
ern California and Southern Ore
gon coast.
There are problems, of course.
For example:
The fishermen and the tourists
come in thousands. In the aggre
gate, they catch a lot of fish. When
the cummerical cannery closed, it
closed down and dismantled the
hatchery it had maintained. With
no hatchery, there arc fewer little
fish to go out over the bar to re
turn four years later as big ones.
So far, the commercial fish hatch
cry has not been replaced by a
sport fish hatchery.
Ducks Unlimited. It's something of
a gamble. Maybe the salmon will
come back to the place where the
eggs were taken instead of coming
back to the Rogue, where they
were released from the ponds they
tarried in while getting big enough
to take off for whatever far places
the salmon go to while they are
growing up.
Anyway, it'i an interesting ex
perimentand the Gold Beach peo
ple are willing to gamble. They've
gambled a lot since the gold min
ing days, and ao far they've done
all right.

Hurt Plywood industry
To The Editor:
In hi. letter of Sept. 30, former
Republican District Attorney Rob-
ert G. Davis, later a abort time
Circuit Judge, stretches the truth
to the breaking point, and beyond.
In the first mace. Davis well
knows the only plywood plant of
the eight on his list, concentrating
on the manufacture of hardwood
plywood, is the Jones operation in
Eugene. The rest produce almost
entirely Douglas Fir softwood ply
wood. What Davis is trying to hide
is that the Republican tight money
policies have led to the present
ccpressea conauiun' in uoiu urc
nlvwood and lumber industry.
Hardwood plywood is only about
fifteen per cent of the total plywood
used in the United Stales. A little
more than half of this fifteen per
cent comes from Japan and the
Phillipines, where we nave a heavy
American investment.
Davis, as a plywood executive
in Grants Pass, should know that
hardwood and softwood plywood do
not compete for the same market.
They have ditierent Dasic uses.
As a long time friend of Cong.
Porter. I know that in his work as
our Congressman he has always
been deeply concerned witn the
welfare of the plywood workers. 1
would be haoov to have the voters
compare Cong. Porter's record on
legislation for the welfare of work
ing men and women with that of
his Republican opponent in the
Senate.
It is not the import of hardwood
plywood that threatens the jobs of
men and women in the lumber in
dustry. The damage has been
caused by three Republican pres
idential vetos of the housing legis
lation in recent years and constant
Republican opposition to needed
housing legislation.

WASHINGTON (AP) Four

To get the West to agree to a
summit conference Khrushchev,
like Stalin, put the squeeze on West
Berlin. But Khrushchev did it a
little differently.
Stalin tried to grab it outright
with a blockade in 1948 before
there were any intercontinental
ballistic missiles. Khrushchev
merely threatened to shut off the
city.
He ltept up the pressure of
threats until President Eisenhow

self-confident.
Weeks before the summit. Sec

The subsequent shooting down

Plywood Industry Woes
Blamed On 'Hard Money'
To The Editor:
Republican Robert G. Davis of
Grants Pass writes in a letter
September 30 that I don't "really
concern" myself with families who
depend In some degree on bard
wood plywood production.
In the first place, of the eight
plants listed only one, Jones Ve
neer of Eugene, produces a lot
of hardwood plywood. Recently
two of their plants were shut down
because of lack of demand. New
house starts were down 25 per
cent in the first six months of this
year as compared to last year.
House trailer construction, which
uses a lot of the decorative hard
wood plywood, was down 27 per
cent for the same period.
As soon as 1 heard about the
shutdown of the plants, 1 called
the owner.. Harold Jones and I
had lunch in Washington, D. C.
a few weeks ago. I offered to help
bring the situation to the attention
of the Tariff Commission, the agen
cy that can give relief if theie is
serious injury to a domestic in
dustry. The Japanese reduced their
shipments drastically, although
they had shipped 8 per cent less
in the first six month, of this
year than last year.
The point is that the problem of
hardwood plywood is not Japan
ese compeUtion, but Republican
hard-money, high-interest policies
that have led to three presidential
vetoes ot housing bills. We need
all the production we carf supply
but the financing has to be through
enlarged and liberalized govern
ment programs.
In my four years representing
the Fourth District in Congress I
have worked hard for the interests
of the working men and women.
Their support, through their or
ganizations, has been almost unan
imous and I hear no such objec
tion, from them.
Finally, neither Davis nor any
one else in the plants he list.,
aside from employes of Jones Ve
neer, (who wrote courteous in
quiries as to what could be done)
has ever written to me to com
plain of my actions or to suggest
different policies by me. One could
well conclude that the points rais
ed by Davi. in hi. letter are pure
ly a matter of partisanship, not of
substance.
