Since 1878 In the Day's News By FRANK Big Business note: The trade magazine Iron Age said the other day that unless the current rate of steel orders is reversed by NEW DEMANDS the industry will have to lower production estimates for the rest of the year. That is to say: Unless the steel industry can SELL MORE STEEL it will have to MAKE LESS STEEL. PRETTY rugged? Well, it would be if the steel industry was just sitting in a dark corner and crying into its beer. Fortunately, it is more imaginative than that. It's DOING SOMETHING about it. For example: The financial page dispatch that tells of the need for MORE ORDERS for steel goes on to say: "U.S. Steel is trying to get people to switch to KING SIZE BEDS in order to increase sales of spring mattress wire." TIMMMMMMMM. A There's a thought there for the textile industry-which is reported to be suffering from a lack of orders enough to keep its plants operating at full capacity. How about a textile indus try drive to induce the men to give up these skinny pants, which require relatively little cloth, and go back to the baggy pants of yesteryear- which require a LOT of cloth? Truly imaginative thinking can conquer a lot of prob lems. THEN There's the congress. It isn't just sitting on its well known fanny and letting the world go by. It's DOING something.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - The Senate has given the Forest Service a major financial boost to help it keep abreast of its long-range program of timber conservation, especially to speed up a reforestation which ?a has been lag ging way be hind schedule. The Senate commit tee, in hear ings on the ad ministration's proposed bud get, discov- bom. smith ered that in its quest of a balanced budget me wnue House had held down funds for forest man agement substantially below what was required to imple ment a program recommend ed by Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson last year. This conservation program, Benson told Congress last year, provides for "orderly use and development of the renewable resources of these federal lands in accordance with the basic conservation principles of sustained yield and multiple use. What is done in the next 10 to 15 years will largely determine whether these vastly important public lands will contribute by the year 2000 their fair share to a greatly expanded national economy." More Money Voted To permit full implementa tion of the Forest Service pro gram, the Senate voted S17, 594,500 in addition to those funds recommended in the president's budget, Another $2 million was added for other forestry programs, bringing the total boost in the forest budget to about $19.5 million. Inasmuch as the House made none of these increases when it passed on the budget, this increase is subject to a whit- tling-down compromise before it goes to the President. Largest single item added was $2,290,000 for reforesta tion and stand improvement, such as pruning and thinning. The Forest Service program called for a $41 million in vestment in reforestation over five years, but after two years the Budget Bureau had only approved 8.5 per cent of this goal The committee did some re search on the rate of tree planting in the national for ests over the last three decades. During the Hoover administration, reforestation was conducted at the rate of 22,870 acres per year. During the Roosevelt and Truman ad ministrations, the rate went up to 75,000 per year on the average, which took into ac - deposit bottle A. smooth, easy-going. count a peak year during the depression when the CCC camps flourished of 223.000 acres, and also the wartime years when reforestation was deferred. During the Eisen hower administration, the rate has been 22,100 acres, In Oregon, a staff expert re ported, 487,000 acres need re planting. In 1958, in Oregon 1252 acres in the national for ests were replanted. At that rate it will take 383 years to complete the job. The state of Oregon is doing much better on its own lands, he Listed Suicide of Beverly Aadland's Friend Studied Hollywood -UPD- Detectives delved deeper today into the death of Beverly Aadland's boy friend after the dead man's family disputed her re port to police that It was suicide. Miss Aadland told police that bit actor William Stancitt, 21, forced his way into her apartment early last Satur day, raped her and then shot himself in the head. "This is one of those cases that requires a full-scale in vestigation," Police Chief Wil liam H. Parker conceded aft er Stanciu's relatives hired an attorney to study the case. Were attempting to learn every detail of what happened in Miss Aadland's apartment." Learned Some Facts The attorney, George W. Drucker Jr., said, "I have learned some facts that con vince me Stanciu did not com mit suicide." He did not re veal details. Drucker was hired by Stan ciu's family to look into their son's death. The family has indicated a third person might have been in Miss Aad land's apartment and respon sible for Stanciu's death. Sanciu's brother, Shawn Tanner, 22, also a bit player, said he did not believe Wil liam killed himself. 'I'm holding some real good evidence," Tanner said. The Information was turned over to Drucker, he said. Coronal's Inquest "There will have to be coroner's inquest and 1 want to ask - Miss Aadland and some other people some ques tions under oath," Drucker said. The coroner's office, how ever, said no inquest has been scheduled. Unless the police department changes Its deci sion that Stanciu's death was suicide there would be no in quest except if the family de mands one, a spokesman said. and noted, replanting at a rate that would take 14 years to finish the job. Private timber owners are replanting at a rate that would take 20 years to complete. Throughout the country, national forest replanting would take 172 years at the current rate. In addition to the $2,290. 000 figure, the Senate added SI million to be used in re habilitation of recently burned forestlands. Last year 214,000 acres of national for est lands were burned over. Of this. 128.000 acres will re quire rehabilitation and re forestation. The Senate ear marked this money for immed iate use on these lands, so they don't become part of the backlog of unproductive na tional timberland. Under forest research, the budget included $1 million to start three research facilities, one of them at Corvallis for forest insect and disease con trol. The Senate added $4.2 million for ail types of re search. The Senate also doubled from $1 to $2 million funds to be used by the Forest Serv ice in acquisition by purchase condemnation of private access roads needed to permit i loggers to get into some na- ' tional forests. This is a re-1 cently initiated program. Fire Protection Included Another $1 million was added for cooperative pro grams with states and private timber operators for forest fire control. It was noted that 47 million acres of state and private lands are not now un der organized fire control. For Forest Service fire pro tection work, an added Sl,- 403,000 was included, plus $2- 134,000 for construction of fire control towers and other facilities. Other sums and their pur poses added to the budget to implement me lull program oi national forest betterment in cluded; $1,543,000 for rehabil itating existing family camp 1 and picnic units and construc tion of new units; $889,000 1 for rehabilitation of wildlife habitat management; $1.3 mil lion for range resource man agement; $988,000 for soil and water management, which in cluded: $1,543,000 for rehabil- $482,000 for insect and disease control.
