Further Increase Woozley forecast a possible further increase in the allow able annual cut of 769 million board feet announced last July for Oregon O&C lands. The further increase would be based on better inventory figures and better growth con ditions on the 2Vi million acres of O&C lands. Woozley stressed that a bet ter network of roads is neces sary if the valuable resource is to be given adequate fire protection. The Congress called for re vision of U. S. Forest Service practices in evaluating timber offered for purchase. In one of 16 resolutions passed the group asked that timber be offered on the basis of insuring a fair profit for the purchaser.
