SPENCER - BAGLEY AGENCY REAL ESTATE LOANS INSURANCE , Same Phone 2071 mm-: 'BtRDON ME BUT THIS PIECE GOES TO TH FAT SALVAGE DRIVE. Letter From Washington By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member oi Congress From Oregon OPA HEARINGS Hearings are now being held on the bill to extend the price control act (OPA). I have attended some of the hearings. It seemed to me that OPA executives were fre quently quite evasive In their answers to direct questions ask ed by members of the banking nd currency committee. Con gressman Jesse P. Wolcolt, rank ing Republican member of the committee, attempted to find out why OPA would not grant an in crease of SO cents on a ten-dollar garment but permitted simi lar garments .nade pf Inferior materials to be sold at from $15 to $18. The deputy director of whom the questions were asked repeatedly evaded a direct ex planation of their reasons for such regulations. But they have such regulations and we all know It. Such foolish inequities exist In nearly every line of merchandise. a LUMBER PRICE READJUST MENT Lumber Is a critical need for housing now. Neverthe less, OPA price schedules still make It more profitable for a umber manufacturer to produce ties and timbers than housing alcrial. This matter has been under discussion since last fall- but nothing has been done. Now they are talking about making houses out of soy-bean plastics, ummum, etc. I have Just been Informed that at last the lumber price-adjustment order (which as promised for not later than February 15) will be issued March 1 to become effective March 6. Meanwhile, approved wage Increases and approved log price increases have substantlal- y Increased the cost of produc ng lumber. Production thus far n 1948 Is down 2D per cent com pared with the same period last year. Production will continue to decline unless western lumber manufacturers are given consld- tion by OPA Just as steel other Industries. Plywood production for houses Is in the same situation possibly worse. era and DAIRYMEN TELL TROU BLES The National Coopera tive Milk Producer's Federation held a meeting here and Invited every member of congress to at tend the concluding banquet. Most members accepted the In vitation. The members of the Oregon delegation were guests of Henry Hagg of Reedvllle, Ore., who Is director of the organiza tion. Five speakers, represent- ; Ing every section of the country, j 'old us the entire dairy lndus I try Is shrinking at an alarming I rate that shortages of butter and other dairy products will become greater. They blame OPA mismanagement and sub sidies for this condition, a FUTURE OF OPA Sentiment against OPA seems to be build-j ing up. The argument for doing away with OPA runs something, like this: "The war Is over. Wej must get rid of these controls some time why not do it now and be done with It?" But thj sudden ending of controls with supplies of consumer goods far below normal would be a drastic and dangerous step. I hope a formula for the rapid "self-liqui dation" of OPA will be written into the extension law. We should direct OPA to remove controls a step at a time and rapidly, until all are gone. FEED REDUCTION Oregon poultry and livestock producers will be directly affected by the department of agriculture's re cently announced wheat conser vation order. The drder as issued limits the use of wheat in feeds to the following percentages of wheat used In December 1945 and January 1946: February and March, 75; April, 70; May, 85 7o; June and months there after, 60. A farmer may use without limit any wheat produc ed on his own farm. Due to the lack of substitute grains In Oregon, I urged the department of agriculture to pro vide In the order some system of distribution of courser grains to replace wheat in feeds. Since the order made no such provis ion, I have discussed the matter further with department officials urging distribution which will give Oregon a fair share of the available feed supply. Officials Indicated that they were trying to find a way to do this but had no plan at present. Protein meal available to Ore gon during February should be about 80 of the amount used In February 1945 .according to the department estimates Through normal business chan nels the state will get 78 of the February 1945 quantities with an additional 591 tons from the government "set-aside."
