Discussions of Log Scaling, Grading, Heard by Conservation Group Members Discussions of the possibility of extending general service of the Southern Oregon Scaling and Grading bureau Into the Medford area were heard Fri day night by 106 members and guests of the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm as sociation, meeting at the Grants Pass Country Club. Weldon Kline, timber engin eer for Harbor Plywood com pany and president of the newly formed non-profit bureau, told the groups plans for uniform scaling and grading of logs for members. The new corporation will begin service Monday. Cites "Advantages" Among the advantages of the bureau's service are the reform of scaling and grading abuses. Kline said, establishment of uni formity, higher standards and provision for expert scalers. Several Rogue valley firms al ready belong to the bureau, among them White City Lumber company, Kline said, and even tually he hopes the service will be uniform from Drain in the north to Medford in the south. Other discussions, mostly technical in nature, concerning the service were given by How ard Haugen, manager and chief scaler of the bureau and form er scaler for the Columbia Scal ing bureau, and other repre sentatives of the firm. No Agreement No unanimity of opinion re garding the need or desirabil ity for the new service was noted among operators attend ing the meeting, and in discus sions later many said they felt that the services rendered would not be w o f t h the fees and charges in effect. These include a $200 membership fee, a monthly operating charge of S150, plus the salary of a truck scaler or a 20 cents per thous and foot charge for wet scale. Chet Irving, of the Pine In dustrial Relations committee, Klamath Falls, spoke to the group in a talk that was largely "off the record," when he dis cussed his opinions of the im minence of war, various matters affecting lumbermen, and dan ger of inflation. His "on the record" remarks included a background discus sion of the Taft-Hartley law. and a description of the fight to re peal the law at the 1949 con gressional session. Cites Union Tactics He also discussed union tac tics in the west coast lumber industry, saying that lumbering is the only industry confronted with two strong, opposing un ions to any important extent. He said that the CIO unions are largely concentrating on wel fare benefits, while the AFL unions are chiefly concerned with pension requests. During the business session, L. L. 'iDoc" Simpson, secretary manager of the association, re ported that he expects federal communications commission ap proval of the SOCFTA radio Felons Draw Terms in State Penitentiary Six felons' pleaded guilty in circuit court here Friday, on dis t r i c t attorney's informations charging most of them with lar ceny, and were sentenced to prison terms by Judge H.
