The over all project will provide $93, 180,000 for forest protection and utilization and $23,750, 000 for timber access roads, $12,128,000 for forest research and $12,195,000 for state and private forestry cooperation. Congressmen Charles Por ter and Al Ullman testified at length before the appropri ations committee in favor of these increases and Senators Wayne Morse and Richard Neuberger presented state ments urging the same action. Not Warranted In reporting the Bill the house committee said that under normal conditions high er expenditures would be jus tified, but except for the in creases authorized they were not warranted in the light of the current defense situation. The Forest Service programs were virtually the only ones increased by the appropria tions committee. The solid and coordinated support that the delegation showed was of great value in securing these vital increases. The Oregon senators announced that as welcome as was the action by the house, a strenuous effort will be made to secure in creased recognition of these programs in the Senate. They believe that the access roads are vital to insuring that when the lumber market picks up the industry is not forced to pay excessive prices for tim ber because of an artificial shortage due to the lack of roads. The Forest Service housing program should be expanded to aid the building industry which is suffering from the Administration's tight money policy, they add ed. In addition the Senators stated that "operation out doors" is now $7 million be hind the schedule set forth by the Administration only last year. In view of wide spread unemployment, an ex pansion of this program which will provide for the construc tion of new campgrounds is needed. This is the fourth consecu tive year that the Democratic members of the delegation have testified before the House Appropriations Com mittee and this action has in sured proper recognition of the Forest Service programs which are so vital to Oregon's economy growth.

Oil shares have had tough sledding from time to time in the stock market because the earnings outlook for them has been impaired a bit. But the financial district has been sounding some warn ings about becoming too bearish "about a business so essential to the world econ omy, even though the earn ings outlook is anything but reassuring." Some of the market ana- lysts have been suggesting purchases of oil shares on market declines. Crude oil prices actually have been holding fairly well, according to market men, There have "been some cuts but they have been restricted to limited areas. According to W. I. La Tour- ette, analyst for Shearson, Hammill & Co., "If end-product inventories continue to increase and e n d-p roduct prices decline further there will be considerable pressure to reduce crude prices on an over-all basis. Level To Hold "Despite the discouraging short runs statistical picture heavy inventories, flattening demand and still heavy im ports it would appear better than an even bet that the present crude oil price level will be maintained. "The oil industry seems well aware of the fact that a general , cut in crude prices woujd more likely aggravate present problems rather than help cure them. It is interest ing to note that there has been no general cut in crude oil prices in nearly 20 years." La Tourette believes that within the next several years the oil industry will "resume its excellent long-term trend of growth, that oil reserves again will be widely sought a shedges against inflation and that oil stocks will regain their previous high v invest ment ranking."
