Lumbermen
Voice Plea
To Hatfield
Canadian Timber
Competition Cited
SALEM Ml A delegation of
timber company officials asked
Gov. Mark Hatfield Friday to
help them get rid of restrictions
they say give Canadia-i lumber
a competitive advantage In East
Coast lumber markets.
Hatfield said only that he had
assigned Warne Kunn, his ad
ministrative assistant, to study
the problem and would not take
any specific action until he had
the completed report.
Hatfield said he was meeting
Jan. 18 in Vancouver, Wash.,
with Govs. Albert Rosellinj of
Washington and Robert Smylie
oi Idaho to discuss salmon and
that they may also be able to
discuss the timber problem.
The chief spokesman for the
18 lumbermen present was
Robert F. Dwyer, Portland, Dwy
er Lumber & Plywood Co., who
asked Hatfield to call a con
ference of Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and California
governors.
"We appear here before vou.
Gov. Hatfield, to inform you of
the crisis that faces the lumber
industry in Oregon and the Pa
cific Northwest," he said.

'Round the State
Market
Dwyer described the Eastern
seaboard of the United States
from Baltimore north with its
somo SO million people as the
world's greatest lumber market.
He s.-iid between 1951 and
I960 Canadian mills shipped but
30 per cent of the lumber for
the market but in the first 11
months of 1961 shipped 56 per
cent of the market s lumber.
Don Bellamy, Rainier Manu
facturing Co., Rainier, Ore.,
said his firm, a major supplier
on the Los Angeles market, may
close Its Rainier mill and buy
Canadian lumber.
He said major firms such as
Crown Zcllcrbach Corp. already
are shipping Canadian lumber
into the Los Angeles market.
Lumber Piling Up
Dwyer said the competition in
the East and in Los Angeles is
backing up lumber that ormal
ly goes to those markets and
provides increased competition
In the Midwest and even in
Portland.
He said the chief need is for
tho governors and congressmen
of tho five slates to urge the
national administration to modi
fy the Jones Act. It call" for
U. S. lumber to be shipped in
u. S. registered ships.
He said Canadian shippers, un
restricted by the act, can move
lumber in foreign ships at rates
$7 to $11 a thousand feet less
than U. S. rates.
Other major firms represent
ed included Georgia Pacific
Corp., Simpson Timber Co. and
Al Pierce Lumber, Coos Bay.
Planning Study Scheduled
On Economic Development
SALEM On Unless new industry is attracted to Oregon many
youths will have to leave in search of jobs in the next eight years,
Gov. Mark Hatfield said Friday.
Hatfield spoke before assembled state officials who will aid
in a statewide planning study aimed at establishing guidelines
for the orderly economic development of the state.
Growth is going to come, Hatfield said, and it would be bet
ter to have orderly growth.
Tho governor described the young people as Oregon's No. 1
resource and said 300,000 of them will reach 18 between 1962 and
1970. They will represent an
educational investment of $1.5
billion, he said.
Hatfield said the study will be
financed by a $108,000 grant
from the federal government
and $54,000 in state funds which
will come in tho form of per
sonnel services provided by
various state agencies.
Samuel H. Mallicoat, plan
ning and development director.
said about 30 state agencies will
participate in the study under
the guidance of the Planning
and Development Department.
said if there were not any
further trespasses the contempt
citation might be dropped.

More questions and answers
to fill in the background of the
ungo-Katanga situation: .
Q. Why can't Katanga, invok
ing the principle of self-determ
ination, simply declare itself an
independent nation?
A. No country in the world
has been willing to recognize
Katanga as a separate entity. In
the U.N., various Security Coun
cil and General Assembly reso
lutions firmly opposed separa
tion of Katanga from the rest
of the Congo. The only ques
tion open for discussion, so far
as the U. N.'s 104 members were
concerned, was how Katanga
would fit into the national Con
go framework. Would it get
broad autonomy in a confedera
tion or be placed under a strong
central government? Even Bel
gium, most outspoken supporter
ot Moise I shorn be, accepted the
idea that Katanga belongs with
in the Congo. Foreign minister
Paul-Henri Spaak told the Se
curity Council in November:
We are against the secession
of Katanga . . . We are con
vinced that the future of the
Congo depends on reconcilia
tion and the return of the pro
vince of Katanga to the Repub
lic of the Congo.
Q. What is U. S. policy try
ing to accomplish in Katanga?
A. Secretary of State Dean
Rusk has said Katanga seces
sion could plunge the Congo
into anarchy and open the door
wide to the Communists. The
United States appears to view
the issue as a matter of peace
ful integration of all the Con
go or violent civil war. The
United States probably does
not consider it wise to attempt
unification by force but has
supported the idea of evicting
Tshombe's white political and
military advisers by force, to
deprive him of a most effective
asset: It is doubtful Katanga
could effectively without white
technicians and advisers in most
government departments. The
announced U. N. aim has been
to oust white advisers who have
been resisting U. N. resolu
tions on the Congo. In addition,
Washington seems to fear that
Katanga's sesession could lead
to other breakaways.
Let Katanga Secede?
Q. Why not just let Katanga
secede and be done with it?
A. The U. S. feeling appears
to be that Katanga's mineral
wealth is vital to the Congo, to
levied against the rancher. He left to relatives.
Air Force to Interview Here
For Foreign School Positions
Elementary school teachers in
terested in overseas teaching as
signments will be interviewed
by Air Force representatives in
Eugene Jan. 27, according to
James II. Bagan, manager of the
State Employment Office in Eu
gene. Interviews will be conducted
beginning at 9 a.m. In the em
ployment service's new offices
in the newly finished State Of
fice Building at 680 Pearl St.
Teachers wishing to be inter
viewed should make prior ar
rangements with the employ
ment office, Bagnn said.
Information is now available
at tho office concerning mini
mum requirements and what
materials arc necessary at the
time of the interview. The Air
Force has indicated it is primar
ily interested in unmarried
teachers.
Especially needed are teach
ers of mathematics, science,
remedial reading, guidance and
library science, special educa
tion, and music. Dormitory coun
selors also arc needed.
Teachers accepting the Air
Force positions will be assigned
to overseas schools to teach the
children of United States mili
tary personnel and civilian employes.
shore it up against threats of
communist infiltration and
eventual Soviet bloc domina
tion. For example, Katanga
would have provided, in the
first year of independence,
about $100 million. half the
Congo budget had there been
no secession attempt. Instead,
it provided nothing.
Q. How about the reactions
of NATO allies?
A. Britain had grave misgiv
ings about U.S. support of the
Katanga action. Fear was ex
pressed in London that the
U.S. decision could prove a
costly blunder risking evertu
al Communist victory through
defeat of the strongest anti
Communist force in the Congo,
the Katanga government of
Tshombe. The British seemed
to feel the U. N. should not im
pose political solutions by
force. Prime Minister Mac
millan noted that if Tshombe
were destroyed, the U. N. would
find itself "with a province as
large as France on its hands
and no means at all of govern
ing it." Similar misgivings
were expressed in France and
Belgium, both of whom have
important interests in Katanga's
mineral wealth. Portugal, an
other colonial power, fears the
effect of Congo events on An
gola. Q. What was the Kitona Pact
and what was the U.S. role?
A. At Kitona Tshombe prom
ised to accept the authority of
the central government. Ed
mund A. Gullion, U. S. ambas
sador to Leopoldville, flew to
Elisabethville, Katanga capital,
and persuaded Tshombe to
make the trip to Kitona.
Tshombe jockeyed a bit,
backing away from the Kitona
declaration. He finally agreed
to accept most of it, including
the fundamental law under
which the Congo is supposed to
be governed. He had participat
ed in the writing of that con
stitution in Brussels before in
dependence in 1960. Kitona
brought a truce but there ap
peared to be a long process of
bargaining ahead.

Q. Why doesn't the Congo
government use its own armed
forces to end the Katanga se
cession? A. The Congo has about 25,
000 troops (apart from Katan
ga). The army commander,
Gen. Joseph Mobutu at best can
hope to control about 17,000.
The other 8,000 are controlled
by Gen. Victor Lundula, who
has been at Stanleyville with
Antoine Gizenga. The Congo
has neither the means nor the
equipment for the job. But
there were indications that Gen.
Lundula was drawing closer to
Mobutu.
Q. What about the effect on
the rest of Africa?
A. There is considerable
worry. In the federation of Rho
desia and Nyasaland, Prime Min
ister Sir Roy Welensky has put
forward the view that the west
is losing the struggle for influ
ence in Africa. He says the
United States and Britain should
do all in their power to keep
Africa's strategic ports and re
sources available to the West.
He fears that vacuums will be
created by premature with
drawals of colonial authority.
These views probably are shared
by many in Britain and Western
Europe as well as by white
population in Africa.
Kennedy Criticized
Q. Some circles in the United
States criticize Kennedy ad
ministration actions in Katanga.
What about that?
A. Basis of criticism is main
ly the expressed fear that by
defeating Tshombe, the U.N.
support will have helped pave
the way for a Communist take
over of all the Congo. Richard
M. Nixon, claiming Kennedy
policies created an "incredible
mess" in the Congo, called the
U. S. support of the action "the
worst foreign policy blunder
since the handling of the Cuba
invasion." Sen. Thomas J. Dodd
D-Conn., described the U. N.
action as "naked aggression.1
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz.
called the policy suicidal.
These comments echoed senti
ments of some private citizens
and organized groups.
The policy had its defenders
inside and outside Congress.
Nixon's 1960 running mate.
former U. N. Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge, said that if the
U. N. force had not been set up
to enter Katanga "there is no
doubt in my mind that the Rus
sians would have tried to go in
and we might have done what
we could to prevent that, and
we might have had another
Korea." Secretary Rusk said
neither the United States nor
the U. N. was attempting to im
pose any political or economic
system on the Congo. Under
secretary of State George W.
Hall argued that the U.N. ac
tion prevented Soviet domina
tion m the Congo. He said there
was "no legal political, economic
and moral case" for the Tshom
be secession.
Q. What has supported
Tshombe in his opposition to
unification?
A. First of all, Tshombe's own
armed forces, with white of
ficers and European - manned
planes, were a source of
strength, in addition, he had
both economic and political sup
port at home and abroad. Conor
Cruise O'Brien of Ireland, who
resigned as chief U.N. official
Katanga, claimed Britain
undercut U.N. activities there.
Carl Rowan, deputy assistant
secretary of state for public
affairs, in a prepared text ac
cused the Union Miniere of
widespread propaganda activity
and lobbying on behalf of
Tshombe. A State Department
spokesman later said the speech
was "not cleared at the highest
level of the department." It
was obvious much of Tshombe's
strength stemmed from Katan
ga s own riches and Union
Miniere power. In addition, the
secession movement drew sup
port from sources such as the
Rhodcsia-Nyasaland federation,
the Congo's neighbor. At least,
it was moral support.
Union Miniere
Q. Just what is the Union
Miniere? What is its role in
these events?
A. The Union Miniere du
Haut Katanka is a powerful
mining and development com
pany which provides 60 per
cent of Katanga's state income
and could provide nearly half
the state income for the entire
Congo. Its control, about 54
per cent, is in the hands of
anonymous shareholders. The
rest is held by the Congolese
state, the Belgian Societe Gen
eral de Belgique Bank.
The chief U.N. officer in the
Congo, Sture Linner, told U.S.
headquarters the Union Miniere

allowed its installations to be
used for attacks against U.N.
personnel in Elisabethville. He
said U. N. troops were fired on
by mortars and machine guns
from points on Union Miniere
property. Union Miniere head
quarters denied all charges, in
cluding allegations of political
and military activities.
Q. What does the Congo opera
tion cost and who foots the bill?
A. The operation costs the
U.N. approximately $10 million
a month. The total up to the
end of 1961 was $160 million,
well over twice the cost of the
U.N.'s general budget for a
year. All 104 members of the
world organization have been
assessed proportionate . shares,
but the refusal of 68 countries
to pay anything has plunged the
U.N. into a financial crisis. The
deficit on the Congo operation,
$75 million, would have been
substantially larger if the
United States and a few others
had not made voluntary contri
butions in addition to their as
sessed shares. Among those re
fusing to pay were the Soviet
bloc, France and Belgium. The
Soviet Union alone owed $20
million for 1960-1961. Some,
like the Russians and the
French objected to the U.N.'s
role; some simply pleaded pov
erty. The U.N. hopes to meet
the crisis temporarily by a $200
million longterm bond issue, but
this will still leave the basic
problem unsolved.
Future Prospects
Q. What are the prospects?
A. It will be a long, uphill
struggle. The Congo still lacks
the administrative sinews and
educated core needed to make a
nation live. Tshombe can be ex
pected to try to keep a measure
of autonomy, or to convert the
Congo into some sort of loose
federation. U. S. spokesmen pic
ture the central Congolese pre
mier, Cyrille Adoula, as a mod
erate non-communist with a le
gitimate claim to govern. The
United States likely would ac
cept some form of decentraliza
tion but opposes the idea of se
cession at will. Some in the
United States and abroad had
expressed fear the Katanga ac
tion would mean a strengthened
hand for Gizenga. But this
month its own political group.
the African solidarity party, an
nounced Gizenga was no long
er its president. A large ma
jority, backing the resolution,
clearly indicated disenchant
ment among Gizenga's following.
There were indications a move
would be started to eject Gizen
ga from the post of deputy pre
mier he accepted from Adoula's
central government in Leopold
ville in August. This down
grading of the man the Rus
sions claim to regard as Patrice
Lumumba's rightful heir could
prove a stinging blow to Com
munism hopes in the Congo.
