Sawmill Waste Potential Said Hardly Tapped Portland (U.R) Sawmill waste has created a whole new industry but the potential still hardly has been tapped, John B. Grantham, managing director of the Oregon Forest Products Lab oratory at Corvallis, told the an nual meeting of the West Coast Lumberman's Assocation. Grantham said that between 1944 and 1953 use of sawmill residue for other than fuel pur poses increased 16 times in the fir region of western Oregon "Yet," he said, "the total used was only VA per cent of the total chippable wood." Chips for pulping now supply 31 per cent of the region's pulp- wood requirements, he said, and seven Oreeon and two Wash ington hardboard plants now use 700 dry tons of sawmill and ve neer waste daily. Grantham said new uses for sawdust are constantly being developed. Among potential uses being tried in research projects at the Oregon Forest Products Laboratory include mulch, soil conditioners, livestock feed, charcoal briquettes, and fuel for gas turbine power plants. Fir bark could supply 2,500, 000 additional tons of raw ma terial a year for waxes, tannins, flavanoids, fiberboard and well drilling, Grantham said. Three Oregonians Tried in FHA Cases Portland (U.R) Three Ore gon men are on trial here on government charges they vio lated FHA regulations in 1951. These three are Mark Warren felt, 40, of Harrisburg; James O. Vogan, 31, a pilpt for a Coos Bay lumber company, and his father, Orval Vogan, 59, of Salem. " They are charged by a Feder al grand jurywith presenting false papers to a Roseburg bank vhile acting as contractors. Lawrence Norton of Winston testified that Warrenfelt repre sented himself as an "FHA man" and persuaded him to sign com pletion certificates for materials to remodel his home. None of the materials arrived, he said. Vernon Robinette said James Vogan persuaded him to sign FHA loan forms for house im provements at Winston in 1951, but said that less than half the materials arrived.

Mrs. Frank Carland left March 6 by plane for Nebraska Back Stairs: Gun Blazes at Ike's Farm By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer Washington (U.R) Back stairs at the White House: The President's neighbors at Gettysburg were a mite curious one afternoon not long ago about sounds of gunfire from the Ei senhower farm. The answer is simple. There are now fewer of those "dirty pigeons" threatening the fresh paint jobs on the President's house and barn. Mr. Eisenhower on his last visit to the farm unlimbered his shotgun and personally reduced the pigeon population. So they say in Gettysburg. Following is the actual dia logue between Prime Minister Menzies of Australia and a news cameraman as the Australian official arrived at the White House earlier this week for meeting with Mr. Eisenhower, Cameraman to Menzies as he started in White House: "Hold it." Menzies: "Hold what, my head?" Cameraman: "No sir, you." Menzies: "What do you do with all these pictures?" Cameraman: "Send 'em back to Australia." Menzies: "Oh, so?" Menzies enters. At a recent lunch for fresh man members of Congress, Mr Eisenhower confided that when he started rebuilding his ancient where she was called by the death of her brother Neighbors of Woodcraf Lodge will hold an installation practice ceremony at the regular meeting Thursday night at the Granee hall.

He added quickly that he real ly does not know as of today what the final cost will be. Mr. Eisenhower won the ap proval of at least one of the ladies present when he explain ed that when he and Mrs. Eisen hower started on their Gettys burg project, he made no effort to place a dollars-and-cents limi tation on his wife, who really was in charge of the renovation. He explained that since it was the first real home of Jheir own, he wanted Mamie to have a blank check. The President also confessed at the congressional lunch that he warned the first lady she might be taking a gam ble in building an elaborate house because he might not be around for enough years to get his money's worth out of the place. This naturally was regarded by his listeners as a big joke, but it certainly seemed to point up what the Presiden said at the outset he had no idea at the start just how high the cost would run. New home owners have been saying the same thing since the invention of the nail. Although Mr. Eisenhower has been fighting bursitis in his right shoulder recently, it does- nt seem to have affected his golf seriously. With the recent balmy pre-spring weather here, he has been getting out on the south, lown of the White House on frequent afternoons to prac tice iron shots. Interruptible Power Curtailment Planned Portland (U.R) Interruptible power deliveries to 14 Pacific Northwest industrial plants will be curtailed 35 per cent begin ning March 21 because of gen eral cold weather and low stream flows, many below the critical stage, Bonneville Power Admin istrator William A. Pearl has announced. A continuation or unseason able cold weather could, Pearl said, require even heavier cur tailment of interruptible loads in the immediate future. Pearl said present peak inter ruptible loads of about 438,000 kilowatts will be curtailed by one third during the heavy daily load hours from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Committee Favors Liquor Price Hike Salen (U.R) The Joint Farm-Labor Tax committee said it had gone on record in favor of an increase in liquor prices in Oregon to a point comparable with those in neighboring states. The committee, composed of representatives of the AFL, CIO, Longshoremen, Railroad Broth erhoods, Grange and Farmers union, reaffirmed its request that the Legislature consider an increase in present income tax rates, rather than a surtax. At its third meeting since the Legislature opened, the joint committee voted to oppose low ering of personal exemptions for income tax purposes, and to fa vor a realistic withholding tax schedule. Portland 0I.F9 W. G. Peo ples, San Francisco, vice-president of the Southern Pacific company, has announced ap pointment of Edgar C. Ordway of Portland as freight traffic manager for the railroad's north ern district. Ordway succeeds Frank C.
