Portland (Special) More in tensive management oc our for est resources and better utiliza tion of logs are necessary for Oregon's forest products indus try to continue indefinitely as a major economic factor in the state's economy. This is the basis of a report re leased by the Business Execu tives' Research committee, a group of selected Portland busi ness executives and college fac ulty members, which has for sev eral months been studying Ore gon's forest industry. . This community research pro gram, sponsored by Lewis and Clark and Reed colleges, has been financed by a grant-in-aid from the Committee for Eco nomic Development, and from ; uir uuu lui nuuu Ciuutabivu, established by the Ford Founda tion. Commenting on the report, E. . C. Sammons, president of the United States National bank and a regional trustee of CED, said, "This report will give ; people uiruugiiuui uie siaie a Deuer un derstanding of the economic im portance of the forest products industry . in the Oregon econ omy." According to report, the fol lowing conditions art vital to the future growth of Oregon's economy: The fullest utilization and the best possible management of our large forest resources; . Expansion of processing and fabricating industries, other than lumber, which are based on forest resources; ' The encouragement of diversi fied new industries such as light metals and chemicals. "The Business Executives' Re search! cmmittee has assembled the firSt part of its findings in a 36-page" booklet entitled, "The Forest Products Industry of Ore gon." Part two is scheduled for release in the fall and will con tain recommendations based on analysis of current findings. Other points brought out in the report are: If Oregon's forest lands were managed on the basis of results' obtained in Denmark, the state could harvest an annual crop of 16,000,000,000 board feet, about double the present annual cut. The committee foresees an an nual growth of 9.45 billion board feet under current trends in man agement. The federal government now owns 65 per cent of the total saw timber in Oregon. This owner snip pattern suggests that either more timber will be harvested from government ownership in the future, or the present rate of log production will only be maintained at the expense of heavy cutting of private growing stock. N The number and importance of small ' sawmills is declining sharply in the region, being re placed by 'larger and more fully integrated operations. . Biggest obstacle to better for est management at present is lack of all-weather access roads, which prevent the removal of virgin old-growth material with little or no annual growth. Oregon now leads in plywood production accounting for 46.2 per cent of total .U.S. output. New uses for timber and utili zation of residuals constitute Oregon's greatest economic po tential. Present utilization of the wood fiber in a log is estimated at less than 50 per cent. Production of other wood fiber products, particularly hard- board and softboard, is expand ing. The potential raw material for these products is almost un limited. , The projected population trends in the western states in dicate a substantial growth in local and western markets. Lakeview Woman Dies . In California Crash Susanville, Calif. U.R) A Lakeview, Ore., woman was fatally injured and her husband critically hurt when their auto mobile went out of control 3VS miles south of Standish, Calif., Friday night.

High Loss Estimated Yreka An estimated $30,000 to $40,000 loss from lightning fires has been suffered in the Klamath National Forest since the first fire on June 9.

Attendance at Dams May Exceed 80,000 Portland U.R) Engineers here expect that attendance at Lookout Point and Dexter reser voirs on the middle fork of the Willamette river will exceed 80,000 persons a year. The two projects, completed at a cost of $98,000,000, will be dedicated by George H. Roder ick, assistant secretary of the Army, on June 25. CoL James U. Moorhead, Port land district engineer, said that average attendance at Fern Ridge, Cottage Grove and Dorena dams over a five-year period were 132,000, 50,000 and 25,0000 respectively. - IN OWN TRAP Newington, Conn. (U.R) An accused hit-and-run motorist was trapped by his own' automobile. Police said the car's radiator was damaged in the crash, bring ing the machine to a steaming halt a few miles away. - Doctors of County Organized Into Emergency Disaster Units' Physicans and surgeons of the Jackson County Medical so ciety have organized into mo bile first aid and hospital teams which would function in place of regular medical services in case of military or civil disasters in Jackson county. The teams are part of Jack son county's civil defense pro gram, which displayed organiza tional functioning in a test air raid alert last week. Such teams, which would be placed at the disposal of Red Cross or civil defense authori ties, are necessary to care for victims of a disaster such as bombings, floods or earthquakes. The plan, sponsored by the Medical society and the Jackson county health department, is composed of 13 mobile first aid teams headed by two physicans, three dentists and three nurses, who would be available to pro ceed to a disaster scene with ade- outside Jackson county, but only quate medical supplies and food and water. Such teams could also be call ed to disaster eareas elsewhere in the state or to metropolitan areas outside the state in ease of military disasters. Supporting medical authorities would be pharmacists, first aid attendants and litter bearers. Wounded would be given first aid at the seen and transfer red 'to medical headquarters. Four emergency medical hos pital teams would be available at Sacred Heart, Community, Camp White and Ashland hos pitals to receive casualties from designated reception centers. Hospital teams staffed by local physicians, nurses and technici ans would work 2 hours a day in 12-hour shifts. Hospital teams would be sub ject to orders to disaster scenes by the civil defense office. The county health department in a disaster, would supervise testing food and water supplies to prevent epidemic outbreaks, and technician! under the direc tion of Dr. W. W. Stevenson would draw and distribute blood for first aid and hospital uses. Several stock piles of medical dressings, equipment and trans fusion sets are stored In various areas near Medford for emer gency use. In case of disaster, local medi cal assistance by family physi cans would be interupted , or curtailed, and replaced with an organized system of effective emergency care. Emergency, care has been or ganized and will be supervised by a committee headed by Dr. Durno of Medford and Dr. Har vey Woods of Ashland.
