ROBEKf SMITH Beilit.r-Gu.rd Curreipondtnt WASHINGTON The Com merce Department has issued a report on the lumber demand and supply situation with comments from "leading lumbermen" which serves to illustrate why President Eisenhower retains much popu larity." The report notes that lumber men "experienced a reduced de mand for their products during the first quarter of 1960" while "eenerally favorable operating conditions in the West helped in maintaining a substantial overall volume of production." Production, in fact, was 5 per cent higher than the previous year. But consumption fell off 3.4 per cent from the first quarter of 1959. NO SIGNIFICANT UPTURN The big cause of this drop in consumption, the report noted, was the fact that home construc tion fell off 18.1 per cent. 'Thus far, more favorable spring weather plus the reported moderate improvement in the availability of mortgage money have not been reflected in any significant upturn in housing sta tistics," said the Commerce De partment. "However, some ob servers expect an improvement in the homebuilding rate later this year which would result in the start of about 1,200,000 (hous ing) units for the year com pared with 1,401,000 units in 1959. MOST SIGNIFICANT' Under the heading "notable comments," the Commerce De partment ran the remarks of lead ing lumbermen who were not identified. The most interesting comment was this one: "It seems to me that the ques tion of whether there is going to be an overproduction of softwood lumber this summmer with a con sequent declining price is the most significant factor. "While mortgage money is ex pensive, it is becoming more readily available. There is the danger that politics may enter into the picture, but there is every evidence that the President irtends to prevent this if he can and that he will not hesitate to veto measures which would in crease the availability of credit for building which he does not consider necessary." NEW HOUSING BILL This western lumberman, ob viously, is confident President Ei senhower will do whatever is right and necessary to prevent "politics" from entering the pic ture. Politics, to this business man, is something great men rise above, something little men in dulge in for partisan gain, some thing the President will protect the country from. The politics he refers to prob ably cover the efforts in Congress by some Democrats to enact a new housing bill which would broaden the coverage of the gov ernments' FHA-mortgage insur ance program.

Mrs. Lester Valentine, 57, came from her Kansas City home to visit Mrs. Alfred Indermuehle, 59, in Portland. Mrs. Valentine rushed up the walk of Mrs. Indermuehle's home and embraced her at the door. The death of their father at Amoret, Mo., forced their mother to send one to live with her parents and one to live with the father's family. They were four and six, respectively, at the time. Years later they established contact, but every time a reunion was planned something prevented it until now. tures would make housing easier to buy through lengthening the maximum mortgage period from 30 to 35 years and eliminating any down payment requirement on the first $13,000 of the cost of a new home. Generally, lumbermen who sub mitted comments were cheerful in their outlook for the rest of 1960. One comment was this: "While the consumption of lum ber in housing will probably be well under that of 1959, the use in all other types of construction as a group should increase. Con sumption for non-construction uses should increase and . . . total consumption for this year should not be far from that of 1959."
