Lumber Market Report Shows Confidence in Ike
By A. 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.

Sisters Reunited
After 53 Years
PORTLAND Ofl Two sisters,
separated while small children,
met again for the first lime in 53
years Monday.
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."

TWO CARS FOR ONE PRICE . . .THAT'S WHAT!
Valiant - KING OF THE COMPACTS-What'. Valiant got that
the others haven't? Plenty! For one, an alternator electrical system that makes
the battery last longer. For another, a 101 hp. engine that squeezes a mapful o
miles from a gallon of regular. Want more? See the man who sells 'em.
'fymOitflfc - KING OF THE ROAD -This one really cuts the
mustard. Won its class four years in a row in the Mobilgas Economy Run. Great
to look at. Great to ride in. Dura-Quiet Unibody. No shake. No rattle. No rust.
Solid for '60. A King you'll be proud to put in your garage.
You get yourself a pair of Kings for one (if you'll pardon the pun) prince of a price,
'94.26 per month swings 'em both. And that's just about the newsiest news going.
ONLY BANT OBIT Don't need two? Okay, it doesn't take an electronic
computer to figure out how much money you'll save on a Plymouth or Valiant
alone. The savings are practically scandalous. '
