The Klamath Falls office of

any orders were issued directly
to potato sorters in the Klam

rato for spud sorting from the
current rate charged of 18 cents
per sack to th 1042 rates of
10 or 12 cents per sack.
Controversy Is still raging at
present over the situation and,
according to authoritative re

Klamath OPA officials stated
Thursday that letters wero sent

potato sorting per one hundred

Officials further stated that
it Is possible to get a rate ad

the OPA at Portland, but that
this had not been done.
Potato graders assert that the
OPA demanded that they charge

per 100-pound sack, instead of
the current rale ol to cents per
sack. They also claim tho 18-

Drastic Reduction in Lumber Cut Here
In Postwar Era Predicted at Confabs
A drastic reduction in lumber
cut immediately after the war
was forecast for the Klamath
area and for most other lumber
production areas of the north
west by national forest officials
here Wednesday for conferences
on timber questions arranged
by the chamber of commerce.
Charles Tebbe, assistant re
gional forester, and Larry Mays,
supervisor of the Fremont na
tional forest, after giving esti
mates predicting the timber cut
reductions, urged secondary
manufacture, application o f
new processes, and chemical
utilization of waste material to
maintain employment and com
munity support.
Mays, who presented specifi
cally that part of recent forest
service surveys relating to the
Klamath production area, said
production of the mills of the
area will probably fall to from
300 million to 400 million feet
a year, as soon as the war Is
over, from a '1944 estimated
production of 600 million feet.
Eventually, he said, the cut will
probably stabilize at around
200 million feet.

depend largely upon publicly
owned timber, from the federal

and could operate only from
one to three years on strictly
