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.

No recommendation on im
port restrictions is expected
until at least January.
Canadian-U.S. negotiations
on lumber, which U.S. lum
bermen hope will result in
voluntary export restrictions
by Canada, will resume Tues
day in Ottawa.
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,

Capitol Grounds Devastated
By Storm; 30 Trees Uprooted
By DOUGLAS GRIPP
Salem - IUPU - Oregon's his
toric capitol grounds, once a
showcase for the state, were
reduced to a pile of junk in
Friday's savage storm.
Thirty major trees, some of
them more than 100 years old,
were torn out by the roots,
leaving craters as much as six
feet deep. Virtually every tree
on the grounds was damaged
in some way.
A large statue of the Cir
cuit Rider atop his bronze
horse, toppled in the park just
cast of the Capitol Building,
and cracked.
Dale Mallicoat, assistant to
Secretary of State Howell
Appling Jr., conservatively es
timated cost of cleaning up
the grounds at $20,000.
Two windows in the Capi
tol building were shattered,
on the third and fourth floors.
Ripped Away
Hardest hit was the Su
preme Court building east of
the capitol. A stained glass
skylight over the main cham
ber where the court hears its
cases was smashed. A ventila
tor cover ripped away and fell
into an alley, leaving another
hole in the roof.
The roof of a main building
at the Oregon State Hospital
ripped away, exposing maxi
mum security wares of both
male and female patients.
Forty-five women were
shifted to another ward. Gov.
Mark Hatfield authorized the
transfer of male patients in
Ward 38, for the criminally
insane, to the penitentiary,
but this was later deemed un
necessary. At 5:50 p.m. Friday, the
governor signed the procla
mation declaring a state of
emergency by the only light
available-a red Christmas
candle.
Saturday morning, Hatfield
went on an inspection tour of
state institutions by jeep.
A number of windows in
downtown Salem businesses
smashed. A wall of tiling
along an insurance building
collapsed on two men, injur
ing one of them seriously.
