HOPE FOB RELIEF
PORTLAND, Ore., March 18
UP) Western lumber mill oper
ators were given aome hope to
day that relief would be forth
coming to relieve pressure from
price ceilings on one aide and
mounting production coats on
the other.
Peter Stone, national OPA
lumber price head, concluded a
tour of mills with the prediction
that something would be work
ed out but ho admitted he had
no formula for a complete solu
tion. Overall raising of ceiling
prices is Impossible, he aald, be
cniijo aome mills are showing
huge profits from cutting their
own nearby timber alanda while
others are operating at a loss be
cause they must buy their logs
on the market. He aaid he did
not bolleve ataggered prices to
aid the log-buying mills were
practicable.
Stone ventured, however, that
marginal oporatora might got
aome relief from higher ceiling
prices for some classifications
and dimensions.

OREGON DEATH
TOLL HIKED BY
PEDESTRIANS
SAIEM, March 18 W) Pedes
trlan accidents account for 88
per cent of the traffic deaths in
Oregon during the first two
months of 1943, Secretary of
State Robert S, Farrell Jr.,
pointed out today aa he urged
greater care on part of both mo
torists and pedestrians.
Greater concentration of traf
fic in urban areas, particularly
In the vicinity of war production
Industries and an increase in the
number of persons walking be
cause of restrictions on vohlcle
use were suggested by Farrell as
causae.
Three-fourths of the pedes
trlen fatalitis resulted from un
safe actions on part of the per
son on foot, Farrell said, sug
gesting that streets should be
crossed only at Intersections or
designated crosswalks, that
pedestrians should pay closer
heed to traffic signals and that
persons walking at night should
wear or carry aomethlng white
or use a lighted flashlight.
"Many of the pedestrians kill
ed in accidents were war work
ers and some were members of
our armed forces," the secretary
of state said.

Lease Bargain With

WASHINGTON, March 18 UP)
Mexican Ambassador Francisco

the United States signed March
27, 1942.
PORTLAND, Ore., March 18
OP) The American bureau of
shipping placed undue emphasis
on welding and ahipfitting as
causes of the breaking apart of
the tanker Schenectady, Edgar
Kaiser, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Kaiser ship
yards in the Portland area, be
lieves. Henry J. Kaiser's son said he
believed the committee which
prepared the report released by
the bureau in New York yester
day "will unanimously concur
with the statement that the
workmen at Swan island (Port
land Kelser yard which built the
ship) can be proud of their work
on the Schenectady and her sis
ter ships. They are good, sound
ships, of good workmanship and
quality, and the Schenectady fail
ure was due to a combination of
factors as the committee so stat
ed, all of which occurred simul
taneously." Welding and ahipfitting were
given prominence in the report
as the causes for the ship's break
ing in two at her outfitting dock
here last January 16.
