Hip kins of the Small Business Administration said persons who testified at a two-day hearing here were evenly di vided for and against the gov ernment's set-aside program reserving government timber for "small business" operators. Hipkins said that of 26 wit nesses who presented state ments 13 were for and 13 were against. The hearing ended Thursday. Aaron Jones, owner of Seneca Sawmill Co., Eugene, and president of the Western Forest Industries Association, opposed the plan. He said the WFIA always had opposed any program which granted special favors to either "big" or. "small" business. He said his group wanted the set aside program put on a stand by basis until Congress can reconsider. Don Murphy, Eatonville, Wash., took an opposite view. He said the program was a weapon which small and me dium sized mills could use to "fight the lumbering giants."

The worst damage was re ported in the state of Vera Cruz, in the city of Coatza- coalcos and the villages of Jaltipan and Acayucan.
