TODAY'S BUSINESS MIRROR
Businessmen Find Record of
Congress Is Mixed Blessing
Br SAM DAWSON
New York, Oct. 20 W) Businessmen who were so gloomy when
the 81st congress was elected less than a year ago find today
that on the whole Us bark was worse than its bite.
But, as the first session moves to a wrangling, uncertain close,
many businessmen find its record, at best, a mixed blessing.
Many of of the things they dis
like most merely are put off un

Fish Commission Asks
Clarification of Law
Portland, Oct. 20 W) The
(tate fish commission planned
today to ask the attorney gen
eral to clarify the fish trap ban
in the lifcht of a Marion county
circuit court ruling.
The commission reported yes
terday It had concluded after
studying the decision that traps
may be used in the Columbia to
catch any fish but salmon. Cir
cuit Judge George R. Duncan
had ruled part of the law was
unconstitutional. He approved
the use of seine nets for salmon
but upheld the salmon trap ban.
The commission said this ap
parently left the way open for
use of traps on steelhead, shad
and other species.
Woodbum Selects
Park Committees
Woodburn Committees for
the Woodburn park and recrea
tion board for the coming year
were appointed at a recent meet
ing, according to A. G. Cowan,
chairman.
Those appointed were. Devel
opement and maintenance, Har
old M. Austin and Lee Withers;
recreation, Kenneth Thompson,
and Charles B. Cornwell; sani
tation. Dr. James R. Deagen and
Mrs. Gerald B. Smith.
Equipment and plumbing at
the Woodburn war memorial
pool in Settlemier park has been
checked and drained for the
winter by Paul Wells of Monitor
and members of the board. Plans
were made to grade and seed
the Softball diamond at the park
next spring and 150 pounds of
grass seed was donated by Wells
for the work.
The triangular park at Settle
mier and Garfield streets has
been graded and leveled by
Frank and Henry Wilmcr. Ap
preciation was expressed to Max
Warring, street commissioner
and his crew for storing the park
tables.
til January. Businessmen were
not united, either. Few were the
measures before congress that
didn't find businessmen appear
ing on both sides of the issue.
Congress failed to fulfill busi
nessmen s worst fears of a year
ago. For example, congress did
n't repeal the Taft-Hartley law,
or increase taxes. And it side
tracked health insurance, the
Brannan farm plan and social
security extension, all of which
had bitter opponents in the
business world. But most of
these issues are likely to come
up again in January.
Huge appropriations for for
eign aid and both American and
European rearmament made for
less of a drop in exports and in
factory and mill orders than busi
nessmen had been braced for
this year. However, these same
appropriations mean continued
high taxes. Some companies
Dayton The Kroweldcen
Bridge club met it the home of
Mrs. Ernest Budge. There were
four tables of bridge at play
and the special guests were: Mrs
Clark Foster, Mrs. James Pen-
land, and Mrs. Harold Frink.
The high score of the evening
was held by Mrs. Carl Mitchell,
and Mrs. Foster was second high.
Mrs. Clete Gell was low. The
next meeting will be with Mrs
Charles Carr.
wonder whether their gains as
suppliers equal their loss as tax
payers. Most of congress' acts tended
to brake deflation or to promise
future inflationary pressures.
And their sum total higher ex
penditures and lower tax collec
tions led the treasury to deficit
financing, which many regard
as the most inflationary item of
all at the present time.
The public in general, how
ever, appeared to lose interest
in threats of future Inflation, de
spite some warnings these were
increasing, and to concentrate on
signs that deflation was being
held in check.
Just who will gain and who
will lose by individual measures
in dollars and cents, without
questioning their political or
moral benefits?
Most firms with goods to ex
port feel that the Marshall plan
extension will help keep world
trade moving. Everyone with
taxes to pay will contribute his
bit to it. The majority of those
directly engaged in exporting
and importing hope to gain by
the extension of reciprocal trade
agreements, but some demestic
manufacturers see costly com
petition in their own particular
fields. Most exporters deplore
the need to continue export con
trols as an expensive nuisance.
There are one trillion feet of
timber standing in the three
west coast states Washington,
Oregon and California..
