Senator Morse Reports
On Lumber Industry Aid
I wish to make a brief report
at what I have been trying to do
in Washington to help the lum
ber industry and through the
lumber industry, the economy of
our State in connection with
the dire economic situation that
confronts us.
On Dec. 6, I spent over a
lour with the Secretary of
Housing, Robert Weaver, in
which I presented to him a 9
page memorandum in which I
had set out in detail the facts
concerning the plight that con
fronts us in Oregon and the
whole Pacific Northwest, as
far as that’s concerned, in the
lumber industry. I received a
very fair hearing from him. He
promised me a written reply to
my memorandum and as soon
as I get that in a few days,
I shall see to it that it too,
is released to the people at
the state.
In
my
conference with
Secretary Weaver, I pointed out
that housing starts were 44 per
cent, judging from October,
from the average in 1965; there
were only 80,000 new housing
starts across this country.
When you keep In mind the
need for new housing, this is
a very sad situation. I pointed
out that the President has im
pounded, so to speak, >1 bil
lion at the money that the last
session of Congress appropri
ated to give some relief in
connection with this housing
matter, including some relief
in regard to interest rates be
cause this money was to go to
FNMA housing. Now it is true
that a short time ago, the Pres
ident released a quarter of this,
$250 million, but there is no
justification for not releasing
the rest. I explained that to
Secretary Weaver. I am saying
that today, Dec. 7, as I make
this tape, the President an
nounced this morning that he
is releasing another $500 mil
lion that doesn’t happen to be
part of the billion dollar item
that I just referred to, but it
will give some assistance in the
housing program and I hope that
very quickly the President will
release some more.
Now, in my conference with
Secretary Weaver, I pointed
out what’s happening to our
lumber mills In Oregon, the
number that are being shut
down, the shifts that are being
reduced. I pointed out that ec
onomic dislocation taking place
as these millworkers seek em
ployment elsewhere. Some of
the lumber mill operators have
told me they don’t expect to
have them come back if they
go and get jobs elsewhere, in
some instances out at our state.
Many of the workers are em
ployed in defense industries.
We are going to suffer a con-
-inuing great economic loss to
Oregon.
And in my conference with
Secretary Weaver, as I have
said in one at my closing
speeches in the last session of
Congress, we can’t justify pay-
Ing for this war by denying the
domestic needs that our people
are suffering from because at
an economic cost of this war.
We*ve got to pay for the war
and I’m for paying for the war.
But, I’m paying for the war by
taxing those thathave the ability
to pay for it. I want to say
that we have to keep our econo
my strong and we’re not going
to keep our economy strong by
letting spotty depressions de
velop across this country.
We’re not going to keep it
strong by denying to the people
of this country the housing that
they need and I shall give you
periodic reports on this issue
because as your Senator, I do
not intend to lay off of this issue
until we get the protectionfrom
the Administration to which we
are entitled.
This is Wayne Morse report
ing from Washington, D, C.
Alarm Foils
Theft Try
An attempt to rob die State
Liquor Store in Sandy early
Tuesday morning failed when
the burglar alarm apparently
frightened off would be thieves.
The theft try was discovered
by a passerby, who heard the
alarm sounding around 2 a.m.
Tuesday morning. Sandy police
were notified and called the
owner.
Examination of the premises
theorized the robbers had been
expecting to find some cash in
the building. Dan Barker, pro
prietor of the store, says the
money is never left on the
premises overnight.
Entrance to the building was
gained by smashing »he glass
on the front door.
