Head of Spruce Production Board
Condemns Rumors Circulated as
to r allure of West to Meet

Tact about the great airplane spruce
drive in Oregon and Washington never
before told the public were revealed
by Colonel Rrtce I'. Dlique, command
Ini the i:ik' production division of
the I'ntted States Army, la an address
yrsterdav at the luncheon of the Port-
land Hraltv HoaM In the Benson HoteL
t'olonal Msque a speech waa an em

iuestlnn. "Is the Government getting

Ke showed how production has been
Incrrased until in February twice as
much sprue stock was shipped East
as In November, and four times as
xnurh as in the month he took charge,
lie showed how th production of de
sirable airplane stock waa Increased
II per cent In February over January
ficnrts. through the work of a tech
nical department, which Is also im
proving the specifications.
lie showed how the time it take to
move spruce from Oregon and Wash
ington to the Atlantic Coast has been
reduced, through the work of a traffic
department, from 40 daya to 1 days.
He showed how th operation of the
new rut-up plant for sprue at Van
couver. Wanh.. has already effected
saving of 7i per rent In th number of
freight cars required to move th
spruce East, a total of about 3000 cara
a year.
:wlpaemi I M Blew I Ilea Removed
He showed how a priority depart
ment of hla division baa not only ob
tained equipment and materials for use
In the sprue ramps, but has aided the
llr lumbermen also that it has already
obtained for toe lumber industry In
th Northwest mora than 11.000,000
worth of wire rope. tl.&OO.OOO worth
of logging engines, ITSO.OOi) worth of
steel rails and other essentiala th
loggers had been unable to obtain
themselves.
He showed how th Loyal I-eglon
had been organised with fi.000 pa
triotlc workers In both th sprue and
fir production fields.
He showed how 10.600 volunteers for
th work had been organised among
th drafted men to help In spruce pro
duction aa needed, and how ZOO of
thee men. all expert logging men. had
been put In the camp since February
4. working th same hours and for the
same pay aa the civilian loggers, and
under such rtrcumstancea that labor
bad not been antagonised.
Facia ss4 Ftaaeea Olvea.
And that wasn't all that Colonel Iis
oue showed. He crammed the brief
half-hour Into which he condensed his
speech with facts and figures that
tnore than one brought enthusiastic
applause from the members of the
Realty ttard and many other businesa
and professional men. not members,
who attend th luncheon.
Colonel lnqu spoke with feeling of
the false rumors and concocted stories
that had been circulated about the
sprue work by otherwise reputable
men.
"I have heard such statements," he
said, "ii that our overhead cost Is $1000
per thousand feet of spruce; that w
iad not Increased sprue production;
that tha programme had been under
taken without any thought as to th
mechanics who would be needed to keep
the airplanes in condition.
"If you believe stalementa Ilk that.
OoO help us: f you believ wa have
In Washington responsible men who
would run things like that, we might
a well lie down right now and tell the
Kaiser to com over and run us."
Few IVrtalla Kept seer.
Colonel lHiue said th public was
entitled to know th farts about the
spruce production campaign, and that
there were not many things that could
aot frankly b told to them.
"I am going to try to show you that
as regartla the spruce Production Divi
sion, you are getting 10 cents for
very dollar." he declared.
At the him time he mad clear that
"nn war Industry ran be compared with

"In a reasonable. Intelligent way and
without dishonest methods.'
He explained how spruce, before tha
Spruca Production Division waa
brought here, had largely been bought
through taste rn brokers who charged
li to 113 per 1000 feet. Not mora than
IS per cent of the amount of spruca
necessary was being produced at that
time, he said.
Clgaatle Problem Presented.
Tha problem wa to Increase spruce
production S00 per cent," h went on.
"The average timber operator aaid it
could not b done. And. If we had en
deavored to obtain the spruca through
ordinary methods, there would have
been aurh a flood of cedar, fir and low-
grade spruce that w couldn t even
rave stacked It.
"When you undertake to Increase
production in such an Industry as th
lumber Industry 600 per cent, extreme
measures are necessary. If airplane
spruce in certain quantities is required
and we should spend $10,000,000 in get
ting It. that expense would be well
made if It brought tha war to a close
one day sooner."
One big difficulty In the way of In
creasing production SoO per cent. Colo
nel IMsque explained, lay in the fact
that of some S.Ooo.000.000 feet of spruce
timber In Oregon and Washington, not
more than I0o.000.000 feet will meet the
rigid requirements of straight grain
airplane spruce.
Intelligent Selection eeeaary.
"If we took the 5.000.000.000 feet
and brought It in here," said he. "we
couldn't get rid of It. It would swamp
oa. So w decided that the only sensi
ble. Intelligent thing to do was to go
Into the woods, select the trees meet
ing th requirements for airplane
spruce, split them up then and there
and take the pieces out."
In order not to Interfere with opera
tions of big crews, closer in. Colonel
Ptsque said. It was necessary to go Into
th mora remote districts, to build a
few miles of railroad and soma truck
road to bring out rived spruei after
th trees had been selected and rived.
It declared that th nills of Ore
gon and Washington were not equipped
to cut spruce to meet airplane require
ments, and demonstrated to his audi
ence how rigid tha specifications must
ba by showing them pieces of sawed
sprue that looked to meet require
ments, but had split because not cut
properly. Therefore, h explained. It
had been necessary to build the rut-up
plant at Vancouver and to bring th
rived spruce there.
Freight Cars "aved.
"One result from thla cut-up plant
already has been a tremendoua saving
In the number of freight cara required,
ho emphasised. " hen we came here.
It took. about :00 feet of specification
1 spruce to make one airplane. Now It
takea only 400 feet, which saves 75 per
cent in the number of cars required
to ship It Kast, or 3000 cars a year.
Colonel Dlsqu explained tha organi
sation of his office and showed how
each department had Justified Ita ex
istence by having increased production.
or efficiency, or made possible In
creased production and efficiency.
He told how In taking "tha extreme
measures" necessary, he had ruthlessly
cut away a lot or red tape, had taken
steps that encroached on the law, and
had smashed all kinds of Army prece
dents. But It had to be done. Colonel
I'lsqu did It. and the spruca la get'
ting out.
He spoke at some length on the labor
situation when he came here, which
ha described aa being "very critical.'
and on conditions today, with th
workmen satisfied and working under
better hours and conditions. He told
of the organisation of the Loyal
Legion, and what a success It haa
been.
"Our attempt has been to atabilixa
the labor situation." he aaid. "And to
day wa are sending out all the spruca
they can nse. and more.
In answer to a question. Colonel
Dlsque Bald that Oregon and Washing
ton are furnishing virtually all the
spruce for th airplanes of both the
Untied States and Its allies, a very
small proportion of tha output coming
from British Columbia, New Rngland
and th South. All these sources of
supply put together were negligible.
he- said. He explained that the allies
take 0 per cent of the Northwest's
output, and the United Mates 40 per
cent.
"Our office la open to every man in
this community." aaid Colonel llsque
In conclusion, "who la Interested In the
facta about spruce production, and
would like to know these facta We
will be glad to show him the figures.
Hut one of the most discomfiting
and discouraging things that ran hap
pen to the man who la trying- to do hla

SENATORS ASSAIL
HOOVER
GARFIELD
Illegal , Price-Fixing Charged
and Fuel Chief Accused of
Telling Untruth.
BREAD TICKETS TALKED OF
Meatless and Brainless Days Re
ferred To by Reed as Having
Reciprocal Relation Coal
Priority Order Criticised.
WASHINGTON. March 8. Strictures
on Government price fixing and the
activities of the Food Administration
monopolised today's session of the
Senate. Led by Senator Keed, of Mis
souri, a Democrat, a group of Senators
of both parties made the attack.
Charges that a general policy of fix
ing prices for farm products, not au
thorized by the food control law, is
being Instituted were made by Senators
Heed and Borah, who said the licensing
power of the law waa being so used
that Its actual result is an unauthor
ised price-fixing programme.
In a four-hour speech teeming with
bitter criticism Senator Reed also de
nounced the Fuel Administration, as
serting that Administrator Garfield had
not told the truth regarding results
of the coalless daya order, which he
described aa a "lockout" on Kastern
Industries.
In the midst of the debate the Senate
adopted a resolution by Senator Sauls
bury, of Delaware, president pro tem
pore, asking the Food Administration
for Its authority in Issuing an official
bulletin requeatlng bida at fixed-prices
on tomatoes for th Army and Navy.
Senator Wolcott, Democrat, of Dela
ware, said that Mr. Hoover had denied
adoption of a farm product-fixing plan,
disclaiming authority, but he and other
Senators Insisted that acta of the Food
Administration, particularly under Its
wholesale and retail dealers' licensing
power, waa having that effect in actual
practice.
Ignorant Iaterfereace Charged.
"We would not have had so many
meatlesa days If there had not been so
many brainless days," benator Reed
declared. "A few more acts of the
Food Administration and we shall have
bread tickets. I believe the efficiency
of the United Statea has been reduced
0 per cent by Ignorant Interference
with business methods."
In securing the so-called voluntary
agreement with . refiners on sugar
prices. Senator Lodge, of Massachu
setts. Republican, remarked the Food
Administration "managed" to fix prices.
In criticising th Fuel Administra
tion, Senator Keed commented upon Dr.
Garfield's statement that aa the result
of the fuelless days 480 ships were rc
leaned from American ports.
1 am sorry that JJr. Garneld gave
out that statement, because it is not
true." he aaid. adding that Shipping
Board figurea showed that 66 less ships
were released than under normal con
ditlons.
"They stopped water power in Mane
to get coal to bunker ships In New
York harbor." he said. "In order to
understand the logic of that you have
got to be a plain idiot.
Turning to what he called Inefficiency
In the War Department, the Missouri
Senator said General Pershing had
notified the department not to send any
more shoddy uniforms for American
soldiers In France.
Priority Order Assailed.
The priority order by which coal was
diverted for lake ahlpment to the
Northwest last Summer was assailed
by Senator Keed, who aaid he desired
to congratulate senator Jveliogg, of
Minnesota, for the business acumen
displayed by the people of Minnesota
In getting coal to the exclusion of
other states.
Senator Kellogg interrupted to say
that only enough coal to meet the
needs of the communities waa sent to
Minnesota.
Senator Reed declared that "Tou
can't do business In this country unless
you remove artificial uncertainty," and
urged that the mine operator, the
farmer and other business Interests of
the country be told by the Government
that this "usurpation of power" shall
ceaae, and whoever doea usurp power
Is a detriment to public welfare.
"The time will com when you may
have to draw on that great reservoir
of patience," he said, referring to the
willingness of the people to do any
thing to win tha war. "Let ua not put
undue burdens on It. I don't see any
Indications that give promise of an
early end of the war In terms satisfac
tory to us."

Soldiers May Get Furloughs to
Work in Fields.
SLACKER BILL IS FRAMED
Plan Is to Induct Draft Evaders Into
Army at Once to Avoid Filling
Jails Pittsburg Prisons Are '
Jammed With Registrants.
WASHINGTON', March 8. Furloughs
for farmers and other men needed in
non-military pursuits necessary to the
war were authorized In a Senate bill
passed today by the House, with the
approval of the War Department.
The evident purpose of the announce
ment, which takes the form of an
amendment to the selective service reg
ulations, is to exempt as far as possible
registrants who may be used on farms.
This is In line with the policy to In
crease the country's food production.
A House amendment protects the sol
dier from being furlougrhed and forced
to work against his will. By Its pro
visions such a furlough may be granted
only on application of the man him
self. Draft slackers would be inducted Im
mediately into military service when
arrested and proved to have evaded
their obligations, instead of beins
taken back to their home districts for
trial, under an amendment to the draft
act now being drafted by the Provost
Marshal-General's office at the sugges
tion of the Department of Justice.
