Neuberger Assured Of Efforts To Hike Sale of Stumpage Portland Forest Service officials have assured Sen. Richard L. Neuberger that ef forts will be undertaken to increase timber stumpage for sale in the vicinity of the Klamath Indian Reservation, so that mills in southeastern Oregon will not feel so stren uously the loss from the mar ket of the huge Indian pine forest while it is transferred during the next several years. Neuberger, sponsor of the bill which will shift the Indi an stumpage either to the Forest Service or to private bidders practicing sustained yield, said he was concerned over an adequate supply of timber in the Klamath area in the interval when the shift '01 1 -rv V 2 , j-r 7 14 9 hm - 1 SMILING Michiko Shod a may become betrothed to Japan's Crown Prince Aki hito.

( Lund, assistant regional forester in charge of timber management, has re ported that sales can be step ped up on a number of major National Forests bordering on the Klamath Reservation. These are the Rogue River, Deschutes , Fremont and Umiqua National Forests. Lund also has told Neu berger that a conference of National Forest supervisors soon will be neld to discuss plants for increasing the al lowable cut in this section of the state. At Neuberger's re quest, Bureau of Land Man agement timber-sale officials also will participate in the! meeting. "Both the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Manage ment have been most cooper ative in this emergency," Neuberger declared. "Their officials have shown real un derstanding of the need to help tide over Klamath Basin mills and plants while the In dian forest changes hands, so that employment and produc tion can be maintained at normal levels." To Offer More Timber Lund has told Senator Neu berger that "we are aware that some of the Forests in Southern Oregon have not harvested their full allowable cuts during the present five- year budget period and for this reason we will, be able to offer somewhat more timber than normal. We hope by this process to devise sale plans for the four forests that fully meet the needs of the area. uill ARRIVING IN FEDERAL COURT, Tacoma, Wash., Dave Beck former Teamster Union boss, is accompanied by his lawyer, Charles Burdell (right), at start of triaL Women's VOLLEY BALL CLINIC Y.M.CA.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washinlon Correspondent Washington The Small Business Administration is now busy writing regulations d e s i gned to implement the so - called small busi- iness" proviso which Con gress wrote in i .1 ii j business act HJi last summer. Rnbt Smith oust w lie ii this controversial proviso will become operative is not yet certain, for public hearings may be held in the Northwest on the proposed regulations before they take effect. The regulations are expected to be ready by Dec. 1. The expressed objective of the proviso is to assure small timber operators a fair pro portion of federal timber of fered for sale by the Federal Service and the Bureau of Land Management. The general intent of the proviso, sponsored by a group of Northwest Democratic sen ators, chiefly Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), is to guaran tee that small operators are not denied federal timber simply because they might be outbid in competitive sales by larger companies. It would ap parently require the timber selling agency to put up a sale especially for small qperators But what is a small timber business? This is one of the stickv "timber tor questions the Small Business Gen.

Loan Classification Under the SBA loan pro gram, a manufacturing com pany is eligible for loans if it employs no more than 500 person. Firms in the retail business age considered small business if they do less than a million dollar a year in busi ness, and wholesalers can do up to $2 million to remain eligible. But when Congress modi fied the act last summer it aaaea language which says that whenever number of em ployes is used as a criterion, the number fixed as a limit for a small business must vary from industry to take into account their differing char acteristics. Purpose of this was to emphasize the intent of Congress that concern should "not be denied assist ance by SBA merely because it employed more than 500 persons. An SBA official said the agency has received a number of communiques from lumber industry persons, who are di vided over the small business timber proviso. The proviso came up so quickly in Con gress last summer that there was little or no opportunity then for industry comment. Opposition Registered Western Forest Industries Association, Portland, regist ered its opposition, despite its representation of so - called small timber operators in the Northwest. It also represents some large operators. SBA officials have confer red with both the Forest Serv ice and BLM about imple mentation of the proviso. Some informed sources here belive the proviso will act chefly as a prod to both these forestry agencies that will as sure small operators of avail able timber. The theory here is that the agencies will not want SBA butting in and tell ing them how to sell timber so they will go out of their way to mitigate distress among small operators who feel they are being crowded out of timber sales by larger firms, Br JAMES L.

He explained that it is important for young men coming along in business to know when the big jobs are to open up. "Whether the retirement age be 65 or 67, I think it should be compulsory, as it is in the Army," he said. "The age for retirement is not as important as it is that retire ment should be compulsory." When he retires, he said, he hopes to catch up on the reading he missed the past 18 years. He also likes to fish, golf and shoot. Gen. Clay was born in Mar ietta, Ga., April 23, 1897, the son of the late U.S. Sen. Alex ander S. Clay and Francis White Clay. He received his B.S. degree at West Point in 1918 and was commissioned second lieutenant in .the Corps of Engineers. This was the beginning of his great military career. He lives at 1040 Fifth Ave nue, New York, with his wife. He has two grown sons, Lu cius D. Clay, Jr., a colonel in the Air Force, and Frank, a lieutenant colonel in the Army.

He pointed out this wasn't true prior to World War II when America's defense es tablishment was not as large as it is now.
