Eittai i z) -J MAIL TRIBUNE What's Ahead in Lumber? - The lumber industry in the Pacific Northwest is on the verge of a new era. That is a large-sized statement which sums up a large-sized fact a fact with considerable import to residents of Jackson county who are dependent on lumber and its processing for more than 50 cents in each dollar of over-all income. WHETHER this new era will be good or bad is de pendent on how wisely the industry reacts to changing economics, and on how it answers the ques tion, "Is lumber a renewable resource a crop or is it something that can be taken, and when it's gone, it's just too bad?" The forest products industry is large and diversi fied. Each of many aspects has some bearing on the problem of whether or not the industry itself will survive. It cannot survive as we know it. It is going to change. Whether that change will be beneficial, or will plunge the area into a period of depression, is yet unknown. IT IS a fact that in Jackson county alone since World Wr...

Tt. is another fact that to be continued, it would crop would be gone. When the rate of cutting- is decreased (as it soon must be), some of the existing; sawmills will have to go out of business. There logs for them. 'HESE facts, of themselves, are neither good nor bad. It is what is done to solve the problem they present that has potentialities for good or evil. One potential answer lies in increased utilization of forest products the bark, the limbs, the small butt ends, the sawdust and other mill residues that now usually go up in smoke.' On this subject, the industry magazine, "The Tim berman," has this to say: The transition to multi-product integration is setting a more rapid pace than may be generally realized, and each operator has need to evaluate his present position in terms of long-life available resources. We can no longer .open our forests as raw material for lumber alone. They are also material for plywood, pulp and paper, cellulose, fibre board, bark products, hardboard, chipboard, chemicals and others yet to be developed. Emerging patterns are clearly evident today. There is a strong trend toward multi-product, integrated centers. Whether it be built up from the basic sawmill or "backed into" from a pulp operation, the concept is economic, that of securing the most realization from every tree without substantially increasing the total harvest. TN yesterday's Mail Tribune a feature story on the -- White City industrial area told of a development resembling greatly the concept described by "The Timberman." There is no paper mill there, nor is there a hardboard plant, nor is there a chemical production factoiy. But the idea is there remanufacture of forest products, greater utilization of what we have. For a manufacturing center not yet 10 years old, the list is already fairly impressive, and there is good reason to believe that it will be increased. Forest products technology, is not exactly a new science, and has made considerable strides in the de velopment of such things as hardboards and fibre boards. Waxes of superior quality can be made from tree bark. The laboratories are at work on other ad vances, including the reduction of costs. Up to this point, some of these things have not been susceptible to manufacture on a scale which would allow producers to make a profit or even avoid a loss on them. But the time is coming when they will, particularly in the complex, integrated for est products manuf acturing units of the future, where a larger gross product will result from the same amount of raw material. DUT what of markets? The Stanford Research Institute has made an ex tensive study of demand for forest products and has projected it to 1975, based on present demands, on technological developments, on trends in woods pro ducts use, and on population forecasts. It comes to several conclusions, among which are the following: Despite higher lumber prices, there should be a market for all the lumber produced in the United States, plus in creased imports and increased re-use of salvaged lumber. Major increases are expected in the domestic production and consumption of pulp, paper and paperboard products, plywood and veneer, and hardboard and insulating board. A major decline is probable in fuel wood consumption. Only moderate changes are forecast in consumption and production of other forest products. The major increases in timber use in the West will be for softwood lumber and plywood production, with mill residuals providing material for increased pulp and hard board production. A continuing market for forest products seems as "sured. It also seems evident that the industry must place greater emphasis on higher utilization of what are now waste products, and on a greater degree of processing. Still unanswered is the question of supply, which is, perhaps, the most vital one of all. This will be dis cussed in this space Wednesday. E.A. BANK TO BUILD Portland (U.R) First Na tional Bank of Portland has an nounced plans to construct a $1,000,000 building on Port land's west side. The proposed bank structure would be three stories tall. Its facilities includes a 30-car underground parking area, and drive-in banking facil ities.

' Dead line for Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday. 1AA r--f , t Now in August, many people head for the cooler northern states, knowing full well that the average temperature for August in Maine will be about 20 degrees cooler than in Louisi ana; Western Oregon about 25 degrees cooler than Southern Texas. But it ain't necessarily so. For brief periods the nothern states can be hotter: Maine can be hot ter than Florida; parts of Alaska can be warmer than Portland, Me. If you find that "difficult to be lieve, let's look at the record: During the past 40 years, the hottest recorded day for Miami, Fla., is 96. For Millinocket, Me., the record stands 10 degrees higher, 106. Same for interior states: the hottest recorded in Birmingham is 107 which is exactly seven degrees lower than that recorded for Bismarck, N.D. West of the Mississippi there is little to choose among the 120 IS-SS degrees recoraed for Texas, the 116 for New Mexico, the 119 for Oregon, and the 118 for Wash ington. For that matter, temperatures exceeding 100 degrees have been reported for every one of the states and provinces. In Fort Yu kon, Alaska, north of the Arctic circle, the summer months of July and August are regularly warmer than those in Portland, Me., and considerably hotter than in San Francisco. In fact; 50 of the 62 days during these months will register 70 and high er. That 'higher' includes 100 in the shade. As for the hottest spot in North America, that dubious dis tinction goes to California Death Valley, where at Green land Ranch on July 10, the air temperature soared to 134 which is within three degrees of the hottest ever officially recorded on the face of this earth. That scorcher, incidentally, occurred in Tripoli, with a searing 137. Not Whole Story The mere official temperature reading however doesn't tell the whole story. This 137 was re corded at a height of four feet above the ground official read ings call for this. On the ground itself, the temperature was hot ter, much hotter. In fact, at the very spot where this world's record was established, the des ert floor was an additional 43 degrees hotter, making 180! a mere 32 degrees below the ordin ary boiling point of water. Now, perhaps, you are ready to go somewhere where summer heat never, ever bothers. Come along. In the Canadian Arctic, north of the slot made by Mc- Clure strait Melville sound, Bar row strait, and Lancaster sound, the air temperature is likely to hover only eight degrees above freezing in July and August. And snowfalls are common the year round.

Top Air Force Leader Praises Harold Talbot t San Francisco (U.R) A top Air Force official Saturday de scribed resigned Air Secretary Harold E. Talbott as a person who "is honest, forthright, and acted always as he thought en tirely proper." Talbott resigned after a Sen ate subcommittee questioned whether he was violating the conflict of interest law. Until a short time before his resigna tion, Talbott had retained his interest in a business manage ment partnership which did bus iness with firms seeking gov ernment contracts. Roger Lewis, Assistant Secre tary of the Air Force under Tal bott, praised the resigned offic ial as an "outstanding secretary" in a speech before the Air Force Association convention.

Percival, who sur rendered Singapore to the Jap anese in 1942, said Saturday the western powers should beware of the danger of an alliance be tween Japan and Comunist China. a- Catchy Phrase Seen Immediate Need for Republican Campaign By LYLE WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) What the Republican Party needs right new is an inspired crack by a skilled some thing to match FDR's s o c k o inven tion: A New Deal. Such a phrase bright ly identifying the scope and Lyle C. Wilson objectives of the Eisenhower administration would help 1956 candidates in the field to stick aboard the President's coat tails. That is, of course, assuming that he runs again, which is being about equally assumed and prayed against by Republicans and Democrats, respectively. Keep cool with Collidge, Harding's normalcy, McKinley's full dinner pail, Wilson's he-kept-us-out-of-war may have been corny or, even, phony. But they all had political sock which paid off at the polls. Mr. Eisenhower has come up with some catchword descrip tions of his own administration. They didn't take. For an early dynamic conservatism" he sub stituted last Jan. 20 "progressive moderation" as the basic de scription of his objectives and principles. Beginning his third year in office, the President said his administration sought to be: "Liberal in its human con cerns, conservative in . its eco nomic proposals, constructively dynamic and optimistic in its appraisal of the future." Middle of Road Man That resounding statement, likewise, failed to find a place in the common language of the people. The President sharply protested earlier - when others Matter of JOHNSON'S COMEBACK Washington One of the real ly significant current political developments is primarily medi cal in nature. In brief, Lyn don Johnson's recovery is proceeding so well and so rapidly that he I is now plan ning to resume his post as Senate Demo cratic leader next January. Joseph Also A setback may of course change his plans. But the Texas Senator s large ar ray of doctors do not expect a setback. On the contrary, they are now forecasting effective healing of his damaged heart, which will permit him to lead an entirely normal life In a myocardial attack, such as Johnson had a few weeks ago, effective healing is possible and not uncommon. The attack takes the form of failure of a blood vessel serving the heart, which in turn damages the heart tissue. The healing process is double. The wound in the heart heals, and other blood vessels increase their work to restore the heart to normal functioning. Myocardial cases are on rec ord in which healing has been so complete that the victims have lived, worked hard and even ex ercised within reason for 30 years and more after the attack. His doctors think that Johnson, who is barely middle-aged and has the constitution of an ox, is going to turn out to be one of these cases. Johnson thinks so too. Even a complete recovery will not absolutely eliminate the ele ment of risk in resuming the leadership burden. Being Senate Majority Leader is not without risk even to a man who had never suffered a myocardial at tack,1 for the burden is a heavy one. But Johnson is sure he can carry the' burden if his recovery progresses satisfactorily, and if he moderates a little the killing pace that brought on his attack. And he is perfectly ready to ac cept the slight risk in order to get on with his work. THE strong probability is, thprefore. that Johnson will be back at the old stand when the Senate reconvenes just after the new year. Until now, al though the rapidity of his recov ery has been widely commented on, this likelihood of a full John sonian comeback has not been grasped. If the likelihood be comes reality, it will alter all kinds of political calculations, both Democratic and Republi can. It is a bad augury, for instance, for the extreme right-wing of the Republican party, and by the same token it is a good augury for President Eisenhower, who can count on the continuation of bipartisanship in foreign policy with Lyndon Johnson at the helm. Very few people realize howl much Johnson's shrewdness and determination have contributed to the progressive isolation and erosion , of the Republican . ex tremist group, that has been one of the really dramatic features of sought to tag his administration as new deal. Not so, he said. Best description to date, per haps, is that Mr. Eisenhower is a middle of the road man, and is busily widening the same. He's been over to the left, or Demo cratic side, of the road with his foreign program, taking most of his party with him. The old isolationist wing is now but a fistful of feathers. But, for ex ample, in carrying on the New Deal reciprocal trade policies, Mr. Eisenhower accepted some of the safeguarding compromises demanded by the protectionists. Mr. Eisenhower's effort to see restrictions of the Refugee Act was a left-of-center maneuver. But he went to the right with his hydro-electric power pro gram, on tidelands, taxes, and wage-price controls. He was down the middle on public hous ing asked for 35,000 units an nually for two years, settled, finaUy, for 45,000 units in one year. The Democratic opposition wanted 135,000 units annually for four years. The President was a bit left of the- old Republican Party line with a health reinsurance plan for financing catastrophic ill ness. But he was far to the right of former President Tuman's payroll tax plan of compulsory health insurance which was bor rowed largely from the recent Sociatist government of Britain. Widens Middle Road He widened the middle road a bit with a request that min imum wages be boosted to 90 cents from 75 cents an hour. The Democrats struck for one buck, 25 cents short of the $1.25 sought by organized labor. Mr. Eisenhower has fostered expanded Social Security but successfully opposed Democratic efforts to expand further this year. The Eisenhower adminis tration school construction pro gram is more a leave-it-up-to- Fact iy Joseph m this session of Congress. His first slight intimation of his heart at tack came, in fact, during a bit ter argument with Sen. William Knowland, in the Foreign Rela tions Committee, when Johnson was insisting that Sen. Joseph R McCarthy's anti-Eisenhower pre- Geneva resolution should be re ported unfavorably to the Senate floor. The resolution was reported as Johnson desired. The complete lack of support for McCarthy and by implication the all-but- unanimous support for the Presi dent, was publicly demonstrated as Johnson planned. The humili ating defeat brought the anti Eisenhower group in the Repub lican party to its low point to date. So far as domestic politics are concerned, however, Johnson's comeback will probably not be a very happy event for the White House. Quarrels among Demo crats are what Republicans most enjoy in an election year, and preventing quarrels among Dem ocrats is Johnson's great spec ialty. He has been busy during his leadership building a bridge between the liberal North and the conservativ South. Without Johnson to keep it in repair, the bridge might break; but with Johnson in the leadership again, the Democrats ought to go to their convention as near a band of brothers as they are ever likely to be. FURTHERMORE, Johnson quite franklv rinpc -nnt intnl so uniformly amiable in his deal ings with the Administration in the next session as he was in the last. He has built a record of political moderation and de cency. The magic of the Adminis- xraiion is Beginning to wear markedly thin in certain areas- in the area of the Defense De partment, for instance, where Johnson's close friend, former Under Secretary Robert Ander son, is no longer on the job to protect Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson from the Con gress. In these areas, where Johnson now judges that the time is ripe for the Democrats to take the of fensive, a strong offensive will be taken. The effort will be made, by committee investiga tions and other means, to high light the "big business" label that the Democrats think is hurt ing the Administration politi cally. Meanwhile, Johnson proposes to stick to his rule of "construc tive opposition" on the big policy questions and however he han dles matters, it will be exciting for students of the legislative processes to see the ablest leader the Senate has had in many dec ades back on the job agam.

KLAMATH SURVEY DUE Klamath Falls (U.R) John Nelson, a Stanford Research In stitute field man, will begin the' first phase of a survey of Klamath Indian reservation this veek. Nelson will study the human resources of the reserva tion. Both human and economic resources will be surveyed at the request of reservation man agement specialists to prepare preliminary plan for federal control of the reservation, , , local communities than it is a federal program. The Presidents recommen dations on the Taft-Hartley Act pleased neither side. His ap proach to public road building was new, as were the approaches to public power develoment, health reinsurance and the building of schools. There remains within the Re publican Party a core of opposi tion to Mr. Eisenhower and there are those who spurn him as a New Dealer. He may get some comfort from the fact that many a builder and real estate operator called the late Sen. Robert A. Taft, most effective sponsor of public housing, a Socialist.

A Motel Diogenes To the Editor: Recently my family and I had a quick trip through Medford on our way to the Oregon Caves, and I must say that the courtesy, and friendliness of the Oregonians really impressed us. I would es pecially like to publicly express my appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Rauber at whose motel (Cave Park Motel, Cave Junction) we stayed, and for this reason. After spending a comfortable night at Cave Park Motel we left (about 10:30 a.m.) for the caves. However, we found (to our dismay) on arriving at the caves that my husband had left his wallet under his pillow. In the wallet were our total cash, (to get back home), credit cards, identification, and other import ant items, so you can see the im portance of retrieving the wal let. We had no choice but to re turn to the motel at once (with out seeing the caves). Upon our arrival there Mr. Rauber smil ingly told us he was expecting us, and handed my husband his wallet with everything intact, He even declined a token of my husband's appreciation.

FUNERAL SERVICES ' In Every Price Range Since 1908 PERL Funeral Home Phone 2-6675 O In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Connie still dominates the news at the hour this is put to gether. There are signs that the lady is getting older and a bit more feeble. But her tantrum (jp't over. Meanwhile her younger sister Diane is growing up and getting wickeder. Personally, I'm glad they both play in somebody else's yard. SPEAKING of play, I saw an interesting sight as I was coming to work the otherSmorn ing. Three children were having a whale of a time with the dis carded inner tube of an old trucK tire. It was about half inflated, and they were jumping up and down on it in high glee, laughing and shouting. Every now and then one would jump a little too high and come a mild cropper. Every time that happened, it would set the three of them into new gales of laughter. It was a pleasant sigM. 0 TT TAKES so LITTLE to amuse 'em at that age. When they GROW UP itwill be different. In their grovwi-up life, the necessities will cost them little, in comparison with their earning power, but THEIR AM USEMENTS WILL BE FANTAS TICALLY EXPENSIVE. Instead of the discarded inner tube of an old truck tfire, they'll then require a shining new auto mobile before they can even GO TO THE PLACES where the kind of amusement they will insist upon can be had. rpHAT recalls a good smart crack back in the Gay Nine ties: "It isn't so much the high cost of living that bankrupts us as the COST OF HIGH LIVING." I reckon that always has been true. AS has often been remarked, this is a queer world, and the people who live in it are queerer still. One never can tell where they will find pleasure. There's the case of George Shepherd, who is now ajrosper ous lumber dealer in the British crown colony of Sarawak. He has just made a 10,000-mile trip to London for ONE sole purpose to drop a one-pound note (pres ently worth0 $2.80) on the side walk in Bayswater square. Why? "Well, he hopes it will be found by some down-and-outer. He explains that when he was broke back during the Great Depres sion, he found a pound note' in Bayswater square and it chang ed his luck. From that moment, he ceased to go from bad to worse and began to go from good to better. Now he's sitting pretty. So he's going half around the world to drop a pound note on the sidewalk in the hope that somebody else can do likewfca. TT'S A pious impulse, and I hope he isn't kiddfiig himself about his reasons for making his long trek from Sarawak (which is a little bit of Old Eng land that still stretches along the coast of the big and still wild island of Borneo in the East In dian archipellago) to London. But I can't help wondering. The excuses that people can dream up for TAKING A TRIP are fabulous.
