U.S. Tariff Commission Ends Hearings on Canada Timber Washington UPD The U.S. Tariff Commission has con cluded a two-week hearing on whether to restrict Canada's $260 million-a-year softwood lumber sales in the United States, but its investigation of the issue is just beginning. The hearing ended with testimony from a U.S. lum berman who blamed Canad ian imports now said to be running at 15 per cent of U.S. consumption for his mill's shutdown. It represented only the first phase of the commis sion's study. The fact-gathering will continue with de tailed briefs to be submitted from each side by Nov. 15. Thousands of questionnaires which already have been sent to U.S. lumber companies, and possibly on-the-spot studies will be made. SHIP IT USME to or from Oakland, San Fran cttco.

Roy Backus, president of the Oregon-Washington Ply wood Co. of Hartsdale, N.Y., told the commission an Ore gon division of his company shut down this year because "We couldn't make lumber and make a profit.' ,The mill was the Columbia Hudson Lumber Co., of Brad wood, Ore., which Backus said had employed 148 pi v sons. He said its break-even price was $61 per thousand board feet, which is $6 to $8 above the going price for the type of lumber it produced. In cross-examination, Nel son A. Stitl, attorney for a group of East Coast whole- salers, noted tnat in laaB Columbia - Hudson's average price was only 67 cents above its break-even point, even though Stitt said 1959 was the most profitable recent year for the industry. "Why is Columbia-Hudson unable to compete against all these other mills which are making money today?" Stiss asked. "I don't know that they're making money," Backus re plied. Another attorney suggested that Backus' company might have been operating the mill for a tax loss. Backus said the parent company also had lost money until the past few months, but he said the com pany could use the loss for tax purposes for the next two years. Backus also aid the mill had been penalized $7,00(1 to $8,000 by a wholesaler last year for grade-marking all three grades of lumber in stead of just the top two grades. He declined to sug gest why the wholesaler wanted the low grade, utility, unmarked U n Cent' I J ShPP' " -1 3Sm l-GAL.
