PORTLAND, Dec. 5 -(JPh- The
president of the National Wool
Growers association blamed gov
ernment controls today for the
wool industry's troubles.
President W. H. Steiwer, Fossil,
Ore., said recent controls threat
ened to wreck the industry as
wartime controls nearly did.
He said the industry began to
make a comeback after the office
of price stabilization controls were
removed. For three years, Steiwer
said, the industry grew.
Then came the Korean fighting.
The industry now finds itself "in
a strait jacket of government con
trol and government planning."
Steiwer asserted, adding that reg
ulations fix a maximum price for
fat lambs but "I can find no evi
dence that any grower was ever
consulted."
Steiwer said costs are going up.
He warned there was a possibility
that the wool market will decline
next year. He suggesurd tariff pro
tection for U. S. sheep growers.

Tornado Hits
New Orleans
Industrial Area
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5-P)-A
tornado, rare in this hurricane
country,, ripped a small industrial
area today but miraculously miss
ed sleeping residents in surround
ing homes.
The freakish tornado, the second
to strike the New Orleans area in
17 years, caused more than $1,-
000,000 in damage.
It was the most costly tornado
In the city's history, but no one
was reported injured.
George L. Canaday of the U. S
weather bureau said the path of
the storm was so well defined that
industrial buildings on one side of
a street were blown lopsided while
homes on the other side escaped
damage.
Canaday, who made the damage
estimate, said the tornado's path
was 400 to 600 feet wide and about
1200 feet long.
Lewis Vaughn of Collbran, Ala..
who was driving a truck loaded
with 15,000 pounds of shells
through the area, said:
I noticed the wind up and it
began whistling around the cab of
my truck. All of a sudden bricks
started flying around in the air. A
second later I felt the wind pick
my truck off the ground and quiet
ly set it down. I didn't know what
was going on. I just stepped on the
gas and got out of there as fast as
I could."
The tornado struck between 2:37
