Results of Road
Tests Are Studied
After more than a year of
computation, final result! of
what is considered to be the
most significant road test ever
conducted in the nation have
been made available and are
now under study by the Ore
gon highway department.
A cooperative state-federal-industry
effort, the $27 mil
lion research project took 29
months of continuous testing
to seek answers to questions
on the performance of con'
crete and asphalt pavements
under controlled traffic con.
ditions.
It was sponsored by the
American Association of the
State Highway Officials, and
represents an unbiased study
which ia expected to affect
highway design for years to
come.
Although 11 was keyed pri
marily to freeway traffic con
ditions, the test provides sig
nificant information to city
and county engineers as well
as to slate highway officials.
Traffic on the test sections
ranged from small pick-up
truchs to tractor-aeml-trailcrs
heavier than any legally using
the road today.
More than 30(1 million
pieces of information measur
ing various effccls of traffic
were recorded at the tent site
near Ottawa, 111. Pavement
sections which survived the
experiment had been subject
ed to some 1.1 million load
repetitions. i
State Welfare commission
brought protests from county
administrators here Friday.
The proposal was contained
in a preliminary report on re
examination of allowances. It
proposed a reduction for a
family of four to S3 a day.
Administrators from six
counties attended the commis
sion meeting here.
No action was taken on the
proposed reduction and the
matter was referred back to
the staff, (or study.
Only the ADC program
came under discussion. A re
port by Mrs. Geraldine Der
by, assistant administrator,
said it would be possible to
make some revision In keep
ing w'i-h a low-cost diet rec
ommended by the Bureau of
Home Economic for the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
She made no recommenda
tions on the changes, how
ever.
DIM Criticised
The revision would allow
only not-fat dried milk for
children over six years, only
meats whose costs average 48
cents a pound,- the least ex.
pensive margarine as the only
fat, and only red and white
beans and peanut butter for
vegetable products.
The proposed revision was
criticized as being inadequate
for a diet.
The need for more and bet
ter case workers was pointed
up by Commissioner Clay My
ers of Portland. He said only
5i4 per cent of the total goes
for casework and supervision
of recipients. He said the com
mission was running about 7fl
child welfare cases per work
er and up (o ISO In public as
sistance, The standard is 35,
he said.
Clatsop County Admlnlslra
tor Mrs. Bertha Roth proposed
a retraining allowance to help
recipients finish schooling or
receive on-the-job training for
work to get them off the rolls.

Solons Threaten Action If Canadians
Refuse to Cut Lumber Exports to U.S.
Washington - IUPU - Lumber
country senators, rushing to
answer an appareni false
alarm, have made it clear they
will demand tough counter
measures If Canada refuses to
cut back its lumber exports
jto the United Slates.
They Indicated they would
make lumber an issue in de-
debate on President Ken
nedy's trade expansion bill,
one of the President's key
legislative programs.
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson
(D-Wash.) told the Senate he
"understood" that the Cana
dian government had rejected
Kennedy's proposal Friday for
U. S. -Canadian negotiations On
the lumber trade.
The "understanding" turned
out to be incorrect, or at least
premature. State Department
and Canadian officials said no
reply had been made.
Ottawa - lliril - Canada
views as "an extremely ser
ious matter" a proposal by
President Kennedy that this
country p 1 a c voluntary
quotas on its lumber ex
ports to the United Slates,
Finance Minister Donald
Fleming said Friday.
"Then sales ro a vary
important aliment in our
exports and consequently in
our balance of payments
position," he said. "I can't
over-estimate thair Impor
tance." Fleming made the slale
man! to newsman following
a cabinet committee session
at which it was believed
Kennedy's proposal was discussed.
But it was no secret that
Canada was cool to the idea.
Nor was it any secret that
congressmen from the Pacific
Northwest which have been
steadily losing lumber mar
kets to Canadian mills, were
thinking in terms of imporl
quotas and tariffs.
"We have an obligation . . .
to do all we can to protect the
economies of our . . . states
from this unfair competition,"
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)
told the Senate.
Morse said that if the Cana
dian government turned down
the negotiations request, the
lumber industry problems
would come up during debate
on Kennedy's trade bill.
Magnuson, chairman of the
Senate Commerce committee,
told UPI later that among the
possible legislative proposals
were: Giving the President
authority to set import quotas
without Tariff Commission ac
tion, and direct imposition of
a tariff by Congress.
Morse charged that the situ
ation was "a crisis created by
Canada" because of Canadian
subsidies to British Columbia
lumber mills.
He said the United States
loaned Canada "many millions
of dollars" last month when
Canada needed foreign ex
change to bolster its balance
of payments.
"I regret that we loaned
Canada a thin nickel," Morse
said. "I regret that we loaned
anything if that is going to be
the attitude of the Canadian
government."
Kennedy's negotiation pro
posal was one of six he made
to aid the ailing Pacific
Northwest lumber industry.
Other steps included: Revision
of U.S. shipping laws, which
lumbermen charge give Cana
dians the advantage of cheap
er transportation; a "Buy
American" policy in defense
and other federal purchases of
lumber, and steps to make
more lumber available and
help the industry get government-backed
loans.
Western lumbermen said
that Canada has increased its
share of the U.S. softwood
timber market from the tra
ditional 10 per cent to 15-17
per cent of lumber carried by
rail and about 70 per cent of
lumber carried by sea - a total
of more than $250 million.
