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.

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."
