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

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

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.

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

death of her brother

farmhouse at Gettysburg, "I
never knew it would cost as
much as ithas."
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.
Nelson who will be promoted to
freight traffic manager for rates
and divisions with headquarters
