Morttaest Forester To Testify Before Senate Committee
Forest Service
By ANN H. PEARSON
Portland - lUPIl - The North
west regional forester will be
called to Washington to tell a
U.S. Senate committee wheth
er the U.S. Forest Service , is
"aloof on cloud nine" to lum
ber problems.
Lumbermen made the
agency their prime whipping
boy here Monday at a Senate
Commerce committee hearing
on Northwest lumber industry
ills. Sen. Vance Hartke (D
Ind.), who chaired the hear
ing, said Forester J. Herbert
Stone of Portland will be
asked to respond to the na
tion's Capitol June 11-12.
Rail Negotiators
Delay Agreement
On Wage
Chicago - ItlPH - Negotiators
for 450,000 off -train em
ployees today delayed agree
ment on a railroad offer of a
10.2-cent an hour wage in
crease. Railroad and union negoti
ators entered what had been
billed as a possible showdown
session on the roads' offer to
go along with a presidential
emergency board's recommen
dations on wage increases.
But the meeting In Chi
cago's Union Station broke up
after 25 minutes without
agreement.
J. E. Wolfe, chief negotiator
for the railroads, said "the
unions want to talk among
themselves and then they'll
call us back."
George Leighly, spokesman
for the 11 n o n operating
brotherhoods, said, "There
were no proposals or requests.
They haven't done any more
than in the past."
Second Delay
' It was the second time the
unions had held off final set
1 1 e m e n t ot the dispute.
Another meeting had been
scheduled Monday night, but
the brotherhoods decided at
the last minute to cancel it.
In another facet of the rail
way union dispute, Federal
Mediator Levcrett Edwards
was to meet later today with
representatives of the rail
roads and of operating rail
employees. The two sides are
at loggerheads over another
presidential board recommen
dation which would result In
wholesale dismissal of fire
men. Wolfe announced Monday
that the railroads had agreed
reluctantly to grant the 10.2
cents an hour Increase to off
train employees. He said the
roads still felt the recom
mended increase was Infla
tionary and might lead to
higher freight rales.
Spokesmen for the 1 1
unions, which have demanded
25 cents an hour pay raises,
said they "neither accepted
nor rejected" the railroads'
offer.
Mo Alternative
Wolfe said tile railroads
agreed to the offer after re
ceiving a message from Labor
Secretary Arthur J. Gold
berg that they had "no alter
native but to accept the
board's rccommcn d a t i o n s
since the country could not
tolerate a strike of key rail
roads which was threatened
by the unions. We therefore
bow tn the public Interest."
-s-iitu LAUNDROMAT -!s;&UWART
Said Aloof to Lumber Problems
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Orc.)
said Stone should be called.
Nearly 100 witnesses, most
ly lumbermen, testified on
submitted statements.
The lumbermen agreed that
their problem lies in competi
tion with Canadians who en
joy production, trade and
money advantages.
Policies Said Backwards
They said backward policies
of the U.S. Forest service -guardians
of millions of trees
on which lumbermen depend
for timber - are a main reason
for making lumbermen in the
United Stales the underdogs.
The witnesses called on the
Proposal
The nonopcraling unions
have been free to strike under
the Railway Labor Act since
early Sunday.
Wolfe said the wage boost
would cost the railroads $105
million a year.
The presidential board
recommended a 4 cents an
hour pay hike retroactive to
Feb. 1 and a 2'j per cent
boost retroactive to May 1.
Wolfe estimated the dual
recommendations would add
about 10.2 cents an hour to
the wage of off-train em
ployees, who now average
$2.48 an hour.
Porllanders Hear
Medicare Rapped
Porlland-IUHI-A substantial
crowd filled the downstairs
and part of the balcony of
the Public Auditorium here
Monday night to hoar de
nunlcalions of the King-Anderson
medicare bill, which is
backed by President Ken
nedy. Some 40 Democrats and
pensioners picketed outside in
support of the bill to put med
ical care for the aged under
Social Security.
The rally m.jirie was spon
sored by medical societies of
Multnomah, Washington and
Clark counties.
Master of Ceremonies Har
ry von Zcll, television and
radio personality, said the
King-Anderson bill makes its
appeal lo the emotions, not to
logic. He said it would be a
step toward socialism.
Rep. James Ult (R-Calif.)
titled his talk against the bill
"A Step Backward."
Primafe Center
Hepatitis Checked
Portland-llll'll Oregon Pri
male Center director Donald
Pickering said Monday an out
break of hepatitis at the cen
ter is under control.
Following a meeting Willi
other doctors, Pickering said
the disease apparently result
ed from close handling of an

He said hepatitis has not
been identified in any ani
mals, but about 100 monkeys.
chimpanzees and apes have
been quarantined lor study.
Dr. Pickering said of the
four men who caught hepati
tis, three already have recov

have appeared.
Forest Service for more cut
table limber, lower stumpage
prices, and more access roads
at less cost to the lumberman.
They said forest service scal
ing, contract and appeals
policies need overhauling.
G. Cleveland Edgett of the
West Coast Lumbermen's As
sociation said the forest serv
ice seems to be "fully occu
pied with distributing Smokey
the Bear commercials." He
said lumbermen have waited
for replies.
Another witness said if the
lumber industry acted like
the Forest Service "Bobby
Kennedy would be out here
and we would all be put on
McNeil Island."
After the hearing, lumber
man and Slate Rep. W. O.
Kclsay of Roscburg predicted,
"there will be some .vast
changes in forest service prac
tices as a result of this."
Other Adjuiimentt
The lumber witnesses also
asked for other long range
adjustments. They requested
laws, tariffs, trade agree
ments or subsidies to equalize
the U.S. and Canadian lumber
industries in water and rail
shipping costs and in cur
rency values.
For immediate relief, the
co-chairmen of the lumber
men's economic survival com
mittee wired the U.S. Tariff
commission for a hearing on
a proposed quarterly quota
against Canadian softwood.
They acted within hours on
the advice of Morse and
Hartke, who told them, "It is
hard for us to seek new laws
when you ignore existing ones
that could bring relief." The
senators said lumbermen also
could seek agricultural
quotas.
The wire asked for a quota
on Canadian softwood imports
equal to the yearly average
for the past decade. That
would reduce present Cana
dian imports about four per
cent and give Canada about
nine per cent of the present
domestic market.

Union Leaden Testify
The only major dissension
lo the dark picture painted of
tlie lumber industry came
from the Northwest's two big
timber unions both currently
negotiating for wage in
creases. A. F. llarlung of the Inter
na t i o n a 1 Woodworkers of
America and Earl Hartley of
the Western Council of Lum
ber and Sawmill Workers,
said the situation is not as
bad as lumbermen made it
sound.
Hartung, whose IWA has
many members in Canada,
said Canadian competition is
not the main culprit. He and
Hartley said the lumber in
dustry must adjust to chang
ing demands for wood prod
ucts, tlie threat of wood sub
stilutes and automation.
Both union leader said they
I want freer trade with Canada
and other countries, rather
than higher tariff protective
walls. Hartley said, however,
he would approve a tempo
rary import quota.
