A headline speaker was O. Shaw Johnson Clarksdale, Miss., president of the national association. He said said a new type of war damage coverage, federally backed, is being formed.

Reject Ban on Economic Aid Washington, Sept. 21 (Pi The house refused today to impose an outright ban on economic aid to nations carrying on military trade relations with Russia or her satellites. Instead, it approved a provi sion giving the national security council power to halt aid to any nation whose trade with Russia is found to be "contrary to the securtiy interests of the United States." The provision approved was backed by President Truman's forces as a substitute for a sen ate-voted stiff prohibition against U.S. aid to countries which export to Russia "arms or armaments or military material or articles or commodities" that are useful for military purposes. The main difference between the senate provision and the house plan is that the latter gives the security council, of which the president is head, dis cretion in determining when economic aid should be halted. The senate provision did not al low this leeway. The senate wrote its plan into a $17,000,000,000 emergency de fense appropriation bill and President Truman flatly opposed It. The administration plan was offered by Chairman Cannon (D., Mo.) of the house appropri ations committee. . Most republicans favored a less flexible plan. Fir Lumber Boom Spinning Portland, Sept. 21 WV-The lumber boom is spinning Doug las fir mill production to a new record, perhaps to as much as 10,500,000,000 board feet this year. H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's association, said today output the first eight months was 6,883,000,000 board feet. This was done despite a freight car shortage that cur tailed shipments and shut down some mills of the Pacific north west, he reported. Weekly production in August averaged 241,839,000 feet, which was 147.4 per cent of the 1945- 49 average. Orders averaged 222,384,000 and shipments 206,- 958,000. The mills of Washington and Oregon had a backlog of unfill ed orders totaling 1,060,231,000 at the end of August, Simpson reported. Gross stocks were 785, 533,000 feet at that time. Earlier yesterday, Simpson said the rail car shortage had cut into production by 60,000,000 feet a week.

Snyder Talks on Game Resources Chucker partridge and moun tain goat may soon be hunted in Oregon, Phil Snyder, assistant director of the Oregon state game commission, told members of the Salem Lions club Thurs day noon. Snyder said that breeding grounds for chucker partridge have been established, and that mountain goats have been re leased in certain sections of eastern Oregon. When they become abundant, hunting seasons will probably be established for them, Snyder said. Snyder also told of the work of the game commission's fish ery division. He said that all of the state's 16 fish hatcheries are now operating at maximum capacity, and that 18 lakes that had never been stocked before were stocked last year. Snyder said that an airplane is now being used to plant fish in the high mountain lakes. The use of the airplane cuts the cost of such planting in half, he said.
