Evidence Refutes
Lumber Criticism
Washington - Sen. Maurine
Neuberger of Oregon said to
day the factual evidence of
sale reports "appears to re
fute" criticism by industry
spokesmen and some Con
gressmen that Forest Service
timber pricing policies have
been "unrealistic" and a cause
of increased unemployment in
Oregon and Washington.
The Oregon senator disclos
ed that the Industrial Forestry
association had sent her a tele
gram on Jan. 25 stating "what
we need is realistic National
Forest timber appraisals. De
spite steady decline of lumber
and plywood prices for more
than a year, Forest Service
appraised timber prices have
not declined accordingly. This
has aggravated the cost-price
squeeze on forest products.
It has increased unemploy
ment. It will increase further
unless National Forest timber
is appraised at what it is
worth."
In a reply to H. O. Puhn,
president of the Industrial
Forestry association, Shelton,
Wash., Senator Neuberger re
ported: "Listed below are the ap
praised and bid prices paid
for the timber sold in western
Oregon for each quarter of
calendar year 1960:
"Looking at these figures, I
notice that the Forest Service
appraised prices dropped over

spite this fact bid values con
tinued to exceed appraised
prices. Under these circum
stances I am at a loss to see
how I could present a con
vincing argument to the new
Secretary of Agriculture that
Forest Service appraisals are
unrealistic."
Mrs. Neuberger suggested
that association members com
pile data from the statements
of fair market value for tim
ber which they file annually
with the Internal Revenue
Service "so that the Secretary
of Agriculture will be able to
fully understand the extent to
which National Forest timber
appraisals may be unrealistic
measured against the indus
try's own objective record of
valuations." The senator told
Puhn that she would be will
ing to arrange a personal con
ference with top administra
tion officials to enable mem
bers of the association to pre
sent such figures.
Senator Neuberger said that
one company objecting to the
Forest Service appraisals had
been a successful bidder in
five Forest Service sales dur
ing 1960. The company pur
chased 28-million board feet
of timber which had been ap
praised at $599,630 by the
Forest Service. The company's
bids totaled $823,615, or an
average of 37 per cent above
appraised price.

Canada Said Not Encouraging
Trade With Castro s
Washington -IUPII- Fears that
Canada has stepped in to fill
the trade void between Cuba
and the United States are un
founded, according to a pri
vate research group.
The Canadian - American
Committee" said Cuban propa
ganda efforts and exaggerated
press reports have given the
impression that Canada is en
couraging trade with the
regime of Cuban Premier Fi
del Castro.
"It should be emphasized
that the Canadian government
has taken no initiative to en
courage such trade," the group
said. "The Cuban govern
ment's flamboyant claims that
Canada can be closely linked
with iron curtain countries as
'friends' of Cuba leaves most
Canadians disturbed."
No Encouragement
The committee said the Ca
nadian government "has pro
vided no special encourage
ment to Canadian business to
explore export opportunities
in Cuba and it has taken no
action to encourage imports
from Cuba."
The committee, composed
of business, agricultural, labor
and professional leaders from
both sides of the border, was

Layoffs Will Total
80,000 By
Detroit -fflPD- Layoffs in the

The one-week layoffs start
Monday with 13,500 being fur

American Motors. General
Motors has announced that
46,500 employees would be
laid off for the week of Feb.
13.
The layoffs announced Fri
day were scattered across the
nation, blunting to some de
gree the impact of regionally
hard-hit areas such as Michi

halted at Pontiac, Oldsmobile,
Buick and Fisher body plants
in Michigan for one week and
will resume production Feb.
20.
The spokesman said the
shutdown would affect plants
in Linden, N. J.; Arlington,

tee said, and thus "Canada ob
viously did not have a basis

The Cuban government has
sought to encourage the view
that Canada can fill the econ
omic gap created by the U.S.
embargo against Cuba, the
group said in a report.
Enthusiasm Lacking
"It is important for people
in the United States to recog
nize that this is propaganda
and, moreover, that such prop
aganda is not received with
any enthusiasm in Canada,"
the committee said.
The report said that no
"serious conflict of views be

on the question of Canadian

Do you have problems when it
comes to swallowing pills? Well,
the best way to do it, according
to an article in the
Schering Scien c e
Bulletin, is to raise
your tongue and
place the pill on
the floor of the
mouth, just behind
your lower teeth.
Keeping your
tongue raised
(which also means
little or no taste
sensation) drink a glass of water,
forgetting the pill behind your
teeth While you are thus engaged
in swallowing, the pi It will be
washed down your throat usually
with no taste or feeling. Keeping
the pill behind your lower teeth
gives you an almost sure guarantee
that even the bitterest medication
will give you no taste unless you
wait for too long a period of time
before swallowing.
Every family needs many small,
personal items, such as tooth
brushes, to keep the daily routine

Regime
"At the present time, Cana
da is not permitting the trans
shipment of any U.S. goods to
Cuba, and the Cuban govern
ment has been informed that
this ban will be strictly en
forced," the committee said.
"At the same time, the Cana
dian government has made
clear that no shipments of
Canadian strategic equipment
will be permitted."
Expansion Limited
The group said two major
factors will tend to limit the
expansion of Canada's trade
with Cuba. These are the in
ability of the Castro regime to
pay for goods and the limited
range of products that Canada
can economically export.
"Thus Canada is not a ready
source of supply for many of
the goods that Cuba may need
in place of goods previously
purchased in the United
States," the committee said.
"Underlying the whole sub
ject of Cuban trade is the
fundamentally important fact
that close and friendly rela
tions between Canada and the
United Mates must receive
high priority," the report
added.

Q.
A,
What papers or proofs are needed when filing for So
cial Security survivors payments.
When a widow applies for benefits, she should, if pos
sible, bring with her the death certificate, the marriage
certificate, her birth certificate, and the birth certifi
cates of any children eligible for payments.
If either the deceased worker or the widow were mar
ried to someone else before they married one another,
the widow should bring along a death certificate for
the former spouse, divorce papers if the marriage ended
in divorce, family letters or other documents, or even
newspaper clippings reporting the death or divorce.
However, the widow should not delay filing her applica
tion because she does not have some of these papers
available.
Parents generally must file proof that they were sup
ported by a son or daughter. This must be done within
two (2) years after the insured worker's death. Even
parents who will not have reached retirement age by
the end of the 2 year period must file this proof of
support within that time,
Doesn't the Funeral Director take care of the Social
Security Lump Sum Death Payment application?
The Funeral Director can help the survivors in this
matter, but the actual application must be made by
a member of the family in most cases.
Under a new social security ruling, the lump sum
death payment can now be paid directly to the funeral
home to help pay the
most cases, the application and authorization for this
payment must be taken care of by a member of the
family.
