O&C Marketing Restrictions
Abolished Following Hearing
Under Secretary of the Interi
or Hatfield Chilson yesterday
announced the immediate abol
ishment of marketing areas and
restrictions on the sale of all
"timber harvested from revested
Oregon and California Railroad
and reconveyed Coos Bay Wagon
road erant lands of western
Oregon.
The order was issued, Bureau
of Land Management Director
Edward Woozley said, after care
ful consideration of statements
received at public hearing in
Portland March 1 concerning the
advisability of continuing or dis
continuing marketing area re
strictions. Direct Benefit
Woozley said that I tos eew

that any possibl injury vUl fee

In his judgment, he saiI, ths
action will promote the efficient
administration of the land by
(1) improving utilization of for
est resources, (2) preventing arti
ficial geographic discrimination
between equally well-qualified
bidders, (3) promoting conditions
conducive to competition for re
sources with the end that irices
paid will naturally channel tim
ber to the more efficient manu
facturers, thus furthering tNe ef
ficient coaversion of forest es
sources, and (4) securing moe
employment as the end reJt
of better utilization.
The director made it clear tkat
elimination of .marketing areas
would in no way effect sustain
ed yield forest management on
the 12 master units, which will
be retained in their entirety.
Master Units
Both the master units arrd
marketing areas were establish
ed in 1947 following a series of
public hearings. Master units are
prescribed areas, comprising
practically all. of the approxi
mately two million acres of
O&C lands, in which sustained
yield forest management has
been localized. Marketing areas
were super-imposed over tts
master units as a means of con
fining the processing of timber
to the marketing area where H
was purchased.

ment under provisions of the
O&C sustained yield act of 1937,
were so named for an 1866 fed
eral grant to the Oregon and
California . Railroad company.
The lands reverted to the United
States in 1916 when the com
pany failed to comply with
stipulations of the grant.
Director Wcozley said that the
bureaus investigation of the ad
visability of lifting marketing
area restrictions commenced
more than four years ago.
Consider Restrictions
"As early as March 27, 1953,
the bureau called for field
studies of the effect of market
ing area restrictions on estab
lishment of new woodworking
industries, and following issu
ance of a June 30, 1953, report
based on these studies a limited
amendment of area marketing
restrictions was proposed by the
bureau in the fall of 1953,"
Woozley said. , '
"Before action was completed
on the proposal the need of re
considering the whole marketing
area concept became apparent
when Clatsop county submitted
a petition to the secretary April
28, 1954, for either abolishment
of marketing restrictions or in
clusion of that county in the
Columbia River Marketing area.
Following a public hearing, the
Columbia River .Marketing area
was expanded to include Clat
sop county."
In April, 1956, a public hear
ing was held on proposed lifting
of marketing area restrictions as
to purchase of salvage timber,
and in July, 1956, an amended
regulation to this effect was ap
proved by the secretary.
Independent Coir,sultafflt
During the summer ef 195S,
the bureau employed Professor
Paul F. Graves, of New York
State college of Syracuse, as an
independent consultant to make
a fact-finding survey and study
of O&C marketing areas. Graves
recommended that O&C market
ing areas be abolished in their
entirety.
In November, 1956, the Unit
ed States General Accounting
Office recommended that study
and effective action be taken
to resolve the marketing area
question and the congressional
joint committee on federal tim
ber, after hearings iji the area,
recommended in July, 195S, that
a complete review be made of
marketing restrictions.
So that all interested parties
would have the opportunity to
express their views on this sub
ject the bureau of land manage
ment held a hearing on March
1, 1957, at Portland.
"The evidence brought out at
that time convinced us that the
benefits to be gained by abolish
ing marketing area restrictions
greatly outweigh any disadvan
tages," Woozley said.

Most educational exports
clakn that state school aid should
provide about SO per cent of the
total cost. In Oregon how the
state portion amounts to a bar-e
30 per cent. But Mr. Posey, him
self a member of the FortlaEd
Chamber of Commerce, reports
that Chambers in our state are
failiag to g.et behind the OEA
program to boost state eoatrfea-
tie&s to $120 a child.

I cite this not ia criticise ec5

clud many public-spirited mem
bers. Actually, it is my opinio
that Chambers of Commerce im
Or&gon are probably more favor
able to education support tham
raost business groups in our
country, because of Oregon's pre
vailing high standards of school
ing. But how caia the influential
Chamber of "Commerce of the
United States fight Federal
school aid on the premise that
education is a state and local
obligation, when its affiliates art
the state level are not working
hard for adequate school finaae
in.g in that area?
I can respect a sincere "state's
righter" who believes Federal
aid is wrong and that the states
should undertake the task of
properly supporting schools. But
what of those people who coa
demn Federal aid under the
camouflage of "state's rights,"
and then will not lift a finger at
the state echelon for adequate
school support? Are they not
hypocrites, who lack a sense of
responsiblity concerning the wel
fare of school children?
Results Of Racket's Probe
As I peruse the perturbintg
testimony of the McClellan com
mittee investigation, a pair of
conclusions instantly come to
mind. The great American labor
movement now faces two pre
eminent challenges: (1) to assure
democracy and true majority
rule in all local and international
unions, and (2) to safeguard the
funds of dues-payers from explei-
tation, embezzlement and misaf-
propriation. Unless trade unions
achieve these objectives on their
own, the peril of oppressive and
possibly unwise legislation may
be grave.

telephone scrap
gets S new lease on life
'"'A
Like any thrifty housewife, telephone people make the most of leftovers.
Nothing useful is ever wasted in the telephone business. Take old switch
boards as one example. In many cases, years of extra life can be added to
equipment like this by reconditioning it. It then goes back to work good
as new. But even when phone equipment is too old to rebuild like that
t at left it's still not thrown away. The metal is salvaged, melted down in
giant furnaces, and used to make new equipment to serve you.
