Strong Recommendation for O&C To Wipe Out All Marketing Restrictions

by the BLM to make an on-the-g;ound
analysis of the effect of
laariieting area restrictions. The
8 specialist is Paul F. Graves, who
is a proessor of forest manage-
, nnt at Syracuse University.
Graves spent about two
moaths in Oregon last summer
investigating the system by
? which O&C timber is put up for
'competitive bid sales. His report
to BLM,"which has -not yet been
released, is critical of marketing
area restrictions and recom
mend they be abolished, in-
' formed sources said.
Under the marketing area re
strictions BLM enforces, lumber
mills must be located within the
marketing area in. which a timb
er sale is made in order to be
eligible to -bid on- it. The tradi-
tional object of such restrictions
has beoJi to stabilize those com
munities in which lumber mills
are a. big industry by protecting
them from too much outside
competition in competitive bid
ding. Little Real Effect
Reportedly, Graves concluded
that there isn't one community
in western Oregon's lumber re
gion which gets more than 15
per cent of its timber from BLM
sales. The bulk of it comes from
national forest and private timb
er, he found. This, he suggested,
indicates that marketing areas
which are enforced only on
O&C timber have little real
effect on keeping the flow of all
timber within restricted areas.
Marketing area lines have
I been opposed most recently by
mill operators in the Eugene area
who were running short of tim
ber supply and wanted mostly to
be allowed over into the Smith
River drainage area, where new
access roads have been under
construction to get at damaged
timber badly in need of salvag
ing. BLM has waived the mar
keting restrictions in this case
to speed up salvage operations.
But BLM has taken no action to
drop all marketing lines.
More Public Hearings
BLM officials are now study
ing the Graves report. They say
they won't take any action pre
maturely to -put it into effect.
One official declared:

abolishing the marketing areas,
some more public hearings by
the department out in Oregon
would be necessary."
ELM is under strong pressure
from Congress to act. The Senate
Interior Committee, after its
lengthy hearings of the past
year on federal timber policies,
recommended the marketing re
strictions be discontinued. It
only last week backed up this
recommendation with ' a care
fully documented report in de
tail of its findings concerning
federal timber sale policies. This
report said that ex-Gov. Charles
A. Sprague stated the case suc
cinctly when he pointed out that
the conflict over this policy di
vides the forest-products indus
try between the "haves ', which
are chiefly the corporations
owning private timberlands, and
the "have nots" who depend
largely on purchase of timber
from federal lands.
Result is Hodgepodge
"Timber should flow to its
best uses; peeler logs to plywood
mills; pulp logs to pulp mills,
certain species such as alder to
furniture or specialty factories.
These outlets are not available
in all; the marketing areas,"
Sprague was quoted.
The report went on to say that
"As competition increases more
and more mills chafe under the
restrictions which prevent them
from bidding on timber in ad
joining marketing areas." It '
pointed out that no restrictions
of this sort prevail on surround
ing private timber, national for
ests or public domain timber.
"The overal result is a hodge-1 Jhrgugh restrictions on tha
podge, witli the BLM attempting marketing of a minor fraction
to stabilize western Oregon oi a41 of the liniber.'r
