ECA f o Favor
U.S. Lumber
Washington. April 30 U
The economic cooperation ad-j
ministration said today that inj
the future U. S. lumber com
panies will have a chance to
compete for the business of
supplying recovery timber to1
Europe.
In a new policy change, an
nounced in letters to senators
and congressmen from the Pa
cific lumber states of Washing
ton and Oregon. Deputy ECA
dministralor Howard Bruce
caid the new oolicy applies to
purchases of both lumber and
olywond. He defined the policy
thus:
"In the future ECA will re
quest all participating countries
desiring to purchase lumber or
lumber products for dollars to
afford the United States lum
ber industry an opportunity to
compete for the business."
He said that before ECA au
thorizes any lumber purchases
for an ERP nation it will find
out what they' intend to pur
chase, why any country other
than the U. S. is named as the
source, whether bidders were
furnished definite specifications,
and whether firm bids were
sought and obtained from the
U. S. lumber industry.
Bruce said that ECA policy
on non-dollar purchases will be
guided by the factors of whether
the purchases are from the
cheapest source. Where circum
stances Justify paying higher
prices than are obtainable in
the United States, justification
for such action will be consid
ered, Bruce said.

Asks New Road
On North Fork
Amandm Frank, lumber op
erator up the Little North Fork
of the Santiam discussed with
the county rourt Friday morn
ing a proposition of opening up
a new road along that stream
on the other side of the river
for about seven miles from a
ooint near the Ted Ferris mill
to the Myers bridge this side
of Elkhorn. While court mem
bers conceded that when the
oricinal survey was mad
road was probably placed oni
the wrong side of the river as
far as the grade was concerneil
it was too much of a project
for countv funds just now.
However. Frank said onerat-
or and residents up in the area
were willing to give assistance
and while it was agreed ft was
too big a project for one year
that it should be gotten under
wav as a definite project and
worked out over a period of
vears.
The matter was left tentative
ly on a basis that the people
interested will place a proposal
'Tfore the court as to just what
hey think they can do and see
;f some movement cannot be
tatirched toward that end.
It wouldn't mean an abandon
ment of the road on this side of
the river as there are still resi
dents there but would put the
main travel on the other side
for the distance covered.
rrank pointea out there are
a number of danger points on
this side of the river where the
road is sliding away or the
mountains are threatening to
slide onto the road.
