Dispute Developing
On Federal Timber
For Small Operators

BY A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington (Special) - A
dispute is developing between
government agencies and
timber off icals of Oregon over
the question of whether small
lumber companies are getting
a fair share of federal timber.
The Small business Admin
istration has
d i s p a t ched
several of its
officials to the
Pacific North

official claims
some timber
should be set
aside only for

Leonard Netzorg, of West

ation, has complained to Rep.
Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.)
about the activities of the SBA
officials. Netzorg claims there
is no segment of the lumber
industry in Oregon support
ing the timber set-aside idea.
Congressman Porter has
told SBA that he endorses
Netzorg's protest. SBA has
retorted that it will come up
with supporting evidence of
a need which it is trying to
meet.
Provison in Act
The squabble arises from
a provision in the small bus

eral years ago when SBA was
made into a permanent gov
ernment agency. The amend
ment provided for timber
sales that would be restricted
to small business firms if they
were unable to compete in bid
ding against large firms in
regular federal timber sales
by the Forest Service and
Bureau of Land Management.
Several weeks ago SBA re
ported to Congressman Porter
that three timber set-asides
had been made in Oregon in
the past year, all In Umpqua
National Forest. These sales
combined would have come
to about $38,000 and involved
1,260,000 board feet.
As of the time of this report,
April 18, only one of these
offerings had been sold,
"Within another month it is
anticipated that representa
tives of SBA will visit the
forests of Oregon In order to
review the cutting program
for the next year. Should the
review reveal that some tim
ber sales should be set aside
in order to carry out the
established criteria for aiding
small business concerns in the
forest products industry our
representatives will initiate
set-aside action where justi
fied," Porter was told in that
report by SBA Administrator
Philip McCallum.
'Massive Effort' Planned
Netzorg contended that the
federal timber agencies were
busy planning "massive ef
fort to put on market immed
iately about 1.5 billion board
feet of timber pursuant to an
nounced sale plans. SBA is
simply taking essential time
of key officials in Portland
and on the forests."
Porter expressed skepticism
that there is any need for set-
asides.
T haven't heard a hint"
from any lumber company
that It is having difficulty ob
taining timber, he said.
Lumbermen aren't shy."
Porter added. "If they believe
the big companies are getting
all the timber, they can speak
up. Otherwise, I don t want
SBA to interfer with the op
erations of the Forest Serv
ice and BLM."
SBA does not agree that it
should wait for small business
firms to request a set-aside.
Administrator McCallum said
both BLM and Forest Service
have construed the act to
mean SBA "should screen the
timber sales program at
specified intervals to assure a
fair distribution of timber
sales ... to small business
concerns."
