a trade statistical agency,
which indicated production
cutbacks currently in force
were "a prelude to some of
the earliset shutdowns for
model changeover seen since
the pre-1940 period."
Ward's said car production
during the week just ended
jumped 35.8 per cent but pro
duction for April was the low
est for that month since 1948.
Outlook Gloomy
j The production outlook
: was anything but cheering
for UAW negotiators gave
little indication of the fact.
Last Monday the UAW dis
closed it had offered to ex
tend the present contracts
which expire at the end of
this month for three months.
General Motors rejected
this offer and countered by
calling on the union to ac
cept a two-year renewal of the
present contract. Ford and
Chrysler joined in the two
year proposal but the union
turned all three of the offers
down. Ford and Chrysler con
tinued negotiations this week
and have adjourned for the
weekend.

Wheat Supports
Said Misleading
Pendleton -MIR The Ore
gon Wheat Growers league
has labelled wheat price sup-1
ports announced last week by
Secretary Ezra Benson as
"misleading."
Dick Baum, league execu
tive secretary, said the 1959
price support of $1.81 is more
than the 1958 figure of $1.78
but that it was still less than
the $2.00 price support of
1957.
Baum said a more accurate
picture could be gained by
noting that the 1959 price
support has ben lowered 22
cents a bushel.
"Hhere in eastern Oregon,"
he said, "it means wheat grow
ers stand to lose $1,500,000."
This figure is based on pro
duction in excess of seven mil
lion dollars, he said.
Atherton, Cal. (IP) A mys
tery fire destroyed Kenneth
and John Templeton's famous
treehouse early Saturday.
Traces of kerosene were
found on the oak tree in
which the house was built.
Asst. Fire Chief Charles
Dompe said the blaze "ap
peared to be of incendiary or
igin." Atherton police said three
teenagers were chased away
from the property Friday
the youths, or other young
sters, set fire to the house.
The blaze climaxed a week
of controversy touched off
when the city fathers of this
exclusive San Francisco Pen
insula suburban community
ordered the treehouse taken
down because it violated the
building and zonng ordinan
ces. Kenneth, 9, and John, 8,
had built the house ' in the
tree in their front yard. They
named it Falconest.
Orders Court Action
The city council ordered
the city attorney to go into
court if necessary to force
the removal of the treehouse.
And, since it's an election
year, political candidates
rushed to the defense of Ken
neth and John.
Atty. Gen. Edmund G.
Brown, Democratic candidate
for governor, who climbed
into the treehouse Friday for
a closer inspection, was sad
dened by the report of its
destruction Saturday.
"I'm very sorry for the
boys," he said. "It's a shame."
The boys' mother, Mrs
Kenneth Templeton, said that
barking of the family dog
awoke her shortly before 2:30
a.m. today and she called the
fire department. The fire was
confined to the treehouse it
self. She said she didn't know
whether the boys planned to
rebuild the house, adding
they "didn't seem downheart-
ied at all" about its loss.
Atherton City Atty. Wins
ton Churchill Black said he
would view the remains later
Saturday to determine wheth
er to go ahead and take court
action next week as he had
planned.- .
Lumber Price Index
Shows Slight Rise
The lumber price index
climbed, 84 cents in the past
two weeks, reflecting price
gains in green dimension and
studs of all major western
species, according to one lum
ber news service.
Crow's Lumber market,
Portland, reported increases
in prices in the past two
weeks.
Random Lengths, Eugene
lumber market . report, said
the market fell off last week,
but not to low levels of early
April. Most observers felt the
slackening was a stabilization
at the level of demand follow
ing a spurt caused by other
factors.
