Length of suspension varies, depending on charges in volved, recommendation of court, discretionary action by the department or require ments of Oregon law.

WALZER UII Financial Editor New York (UPI) In ventory operations have been listed as one of the big prob- y iems of the busi n e s s re cession, and at times they still Dlague in- $K dustry. For a long time the na tion has been consuming far more than it i i i Klver WaUer pruuucea De cause it was living off inven tories in many lines. Big inventories can wreck the biggest of companies if they are pinched for funds to ffhance them. And big in ventories can be a number one headache in general when a recession occurs. Hence, some of ,the eco nomic experts hope the indus trial leaders have learned among other things not to let their inventories get out of control at any time in the future. If they did this, the chances of a prolonged reces sion would be lessened, it is held. Some industries are turning to air freight to combat in- 324 South B st.. Eagle Point driv ing record. 30 days.

Cussen, vice president of Flying Tiger Line, noted this in reporting an all-time high in May air freight revenues for. his com pany. "We know of companies which are now relying on air freight for the first time to get a better control of inven tory and warehousing costs," Cussen said. "One company told us it was experiencing savings which would exceed $250,000 a year." He finds also that air freight operation reduces dis tribution costs generally. Cus- Dag Starts Work For Lebanon Peace Beirut, Lebanon (UPI U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold arrived here today and plunged immediate ly into the "hard work" of re storing peace before Lebanon asks for Anglo-American in tervention in its civil war. Hammarskjold's job was to help set up a watchdog com mission created last week by the U. N. Security Council to "insure". Lebanon against sub version by -the United Arab Republic. But he was aware that any appeal for U. S. and British help could' bring Rus sia into a Middle East war. Hammarskjold ran into op position from rebel leaders who seek to overthrow the pro-Western government of president Camille Chamoun. also sen notes that the recession forced many a management to take a closer look at all costs, including the high cost of distribution. He said Flying Tiger Line had decided before the reces sion that the real future of air freight rested in the in dustry's ability to sell air freight as a regular distribu tion arm, and the recession made management more will ing to discuss ways of im proving distribution. Companies which are mak ing greater use of air freight to cut inventory operations report no difficulties in keep ing their production facilities running. At the same time they save the costs of ware house space and also the cost of financing inventories. Flexible Optrations Then, too, these companies keep their operations flexible at all times with ability to make quick changes to meet new demands. Operations such as these, however, presuppose that sup pliers of raw materials mam tain inventories in their ware houses to meet the quick, de mands of those who use the air to move their material What will happen to these firms once business gets to humming and demand rises for raw material is another thing. Many think the reces sion . will tend to keep down future inventories for a long time and hence the future problem of industrial opera tions may be one of distribu tion rather than production.

Steel mills refuse to put more furnaces into' operation even though demand just now is large. Consumers of steel, an exception to the trend, are building inventories in anti cipation of a $5 a ton steel price rise on July 1. The mills are running around 64 per cent of capacity. When the inventories are filled, some steel experts look for a lull in the industry dur ing July and pickup again when the auto companies get into production on new models. But no one seems to be planning anything like the pre-recession inventory building. Program Outlined By Safety Council C. D. (Swede) Larson, vice president of the Medford Safe ty Council, outlined a pro gram of personal contact work by safety council members to enlist every business firm and industry as a supporting mem ber. The Alion followed a report on the return of the letters of application mailed recently. Larson said personal calls will be made to explain the work of the safety group and to sign up a minimum of 200 more firm and industry members. Council members who will be making the calls include Irean Grigsby, Dr. William J. Thompson, Dr. Mary Jane Fowler, Dave DeArmond, Gregg Orr, Ralph Matthews, Elliott Becken, Rudy Tet reault and Herb Vallee.
