source of additidnal airplane
spruce as a congressional sub
committee continued Wednesday
to hear arguments for and against
proposed logging of extensive
timber stands in the Olympic na
tional park. ,i
The suggestion of expanding
Alaskan production came from
E. T. Brundage, western log and
lumber administrator, and H. F.
Andrews, regional US forester.
. Brundage told the committee
headed by ' Rep. Henry Jackson,
of Washington, that he was in
formed that southeastern Alaska
timber production was beln-g
slowed by labor shortages.
Brundage reported a j 45 per
cent reduction in production of
spruce lumber from December,
1942, to May.
There is a serious decrease in
aircraft spruce lumber produc
tion due to the decrease in spruce
stands and to the lower quality
of the, logs now available."
uponems 01 logging 01 speci
fied park stands have contended
that their better trees would make
extensive logging possible 1 for
more operators.
Col'. W. B. Greeley, manager of.
the West Coast Lumbermen's as
sociation, expressed . the belief
that the -park timber should be
open to selective Wartime cutting
on the same basis that the nation's
manpower resources are open to
selective service.
