PACE TEN
97 PER CEN
OF LUMBER
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 VP)
Ninety-seven per cent of United
States' lumber production was
bought under war production
board control yesterday by a
WPB order requiring certifica
tion by it of all shipments made
h mill nroducine 100.000 or
more board feet of lumber
varlv
The drastic tightening of con
trols was announced Dy i-nair-man
J. A. Krug ho described
lumber requirements and supply
as the greatest since the begin
ning of the war, with production
seriously curtailed by manpower
and equipment shortages.
Civilians will feel the pinch
in smaller supplies of "such
things as fence posts, shelving
and remodeling materials not
presently under restrictions,
said J. Phillip Boyd, director of
WPB's lumber division.
Furniture production, he said,
would not be cut, he predicted,
inasmuch as that industry draws
largely on the lumber supply of
small mills not covered by the
WPB order. .
The order was embodied in
regulation L-335. Under it each
sawmill covered will be permit
ted to ship lumber only on cer
tified orders, or upon specific
authority from WPB. Formerly
mills were allowed to ship un
certified orders when they did
not interfere with filling certi
fied ones.
Mills producing under 100,
000 board feet of lumber a year
turn out only about 3 per cent
of the nation's total output.
They will be virtually the only
sources for uncertified orders.
"Little or no relief can be
expected in manpower and
equipment shortages in the im
mediate future," Krug said.
"Lack of heavy tires, in par
ticular, is expected to have an
increasingly adverse effect on
production through slowing up
the movement of logs and lum
ber. "Production during the next
three months is expected to fall
lar below what it was during
the first three months of 1944."
The Klamath county home ex
tension committee will meet
Monday,, January 8, at 10 a. m.
at the home demonstration
agent's office in the Federal
building. After a luncheon the
members will go to Henley
school to hear Dr. James Millar,
representative of the Oregon
state council of churches, who
will speak there at 1 p. m.
The committee includes Mrs.
W. S. Metier, chairman; Mrs.
S. A. Barnum, vice-chairman;
Mrs. E. E. Kilpatrick, Mrs. W. B.
Bickers, Mrs. Rex High, Mrs.
W. M. Williams and Mrs. Eliza
beth Campbell.

Experienced Legislature
To Convene in
Bv PAUL W. HARVEY, Jr. !
SALEM, Jan. 5 if) The most
experienced Oregon legislature
in history will open its biennial
session here Monday to deal with
a few new problems, as well as
many others that have bobbed
up regularly at the past few ses
sions.
Only two of the 30 senators
are inexperienced at law mak
ing, while but nine of the 60 rep
resentatives are new at the busi
ness. The lawmakers will caucus
here Sunday night to elect How
ard C. Belton. Canby, as presi
dent of the senate, and Eugene
Marsh, McMinnville, speaker of
the house. The organization will
be completed formally at 10 a.
m. Monday, and Governor Earl
Snell will deliver his message at
2 p. m. that day.
Old Problems
The age-old problems of unem
ployment taxes, the state budget,
workmen's compensation, in
come taxes, more money for
schools and old-age pensions, and
big trucks again will be present.
But new problems include
post-war legislation, community
property taxes, reducing the vot
ing age to 18, reorganization of
the state board of health, milk
pasteurization, and loans to re
turning war veterans.
Increase Asked
Labor again will ask that un
employment compensation taxes
be increased, and employers will
oppose it. Labor also is expected
to ask for increased workmen's
compensation benefits, while in
surance men will ask that indus
trial accident insurance be car
ried by employers either through
the state, private insurance com
panies, or by the industries
themselves.
Repeal or modification of the
1943 Walker plan which re
turns surplus income tax reve
nues to the taxpayers also will
be sought, with the demand that
this surplus be laid aside for post
war use.
To Ask $5,000,000
School administrators will ask
$5,000,000 a year more for edu
cation, with the money to come
from income taxes, while old age
Under Fire
The growing wave of censure of
Army Intelligence as being
largely responsible for the sur
prise achieved by Germans in
their counter-offensive break
through puts the spotlight of
criticism on Maj.-Gen. Clayton

of G-2 since Pearl Harbor.

Among the post-war problems I
is to enact a law to permit veter-1
ans to borrow state funds to buy :
farms and homes. This would
carry out terms of a constitution
al amendment approved at the
November general election.
Building Program
The new building program for
state institutions must be consid
ered in the new budget, but this
won't be carried out unless the j
war ends m the next two years.
Compulsory milk pasteuriza
tion, to eradicate undulant fever,
will be proposed, but it will have
the opposition of small operators
and the war production board,
which says pasteurization ma
chinery won't be available until
after the war.
A legislative interim commit
tee proposed reorganization of
the state board of health, and
one senator has said he would in
troduce a constitutional amend
ment to lower the voting age
from 21 to 18.
FOR ROAD REPAIRS
The federal public works
agency has paid the sum of S5000
to Klamath county, the amount
of which has been agreed to be
sufficient to cover the county's
cost in repairing bummers lane.
Many of the roads, particularly
Summers lane, were severely
damaged last year as a result of
the heavy trucks which were
hauling materials to the present
site of the Klamath naval air
station during the time of its
construction.
The county originally paid for
road repairs, which included a
complete reoiling, but according
to Walley Hector, county en
eineer. the federal agency has
agreed to pay the county lor the
amount spent.

RANGER TELLS
F DISTRICTS
IN KLAMATH
By JOHN SARGINSON
Lak O'Woodi District Rangtr
Parts of three national for
ests hnve land situated in
Klamath county, but of the 12
ranger districts comprising
these forests, only one, the Lake
O'Woods ranger district In the
Rogue river national forest, Is
located entirely in Klamuth
county.
While other organizations
hnve shown a considerable de
cline in recreational use during
the war period, this type of use
held up well in the Lake
O'Woods area. Cabins are now
built on 162 summer homo lots
and all present waterfront lots,
with one exception, have been
utilized. Considerable interest
has been shown in back tier
lots, with over 20 of these now
occupied.
The Lake O'Woods resort
had one of the best seasons in
the last 10 years during 1944.
One of the features offered this
season was the arrangement
whereby groups from the Ma
rine Barracks visited the area
weekly, and accommodations
are expected to be improved
for the 1945 season. The possi
bility of using the Lake
O'Woods as a health center for
service men after the war is
also being considered.
The Lake O'Woods is fast de
veloping into one of the most
popular centers for Youth Sum
mer camps in the state. At
present camps are being oper
ated by the Crater Lake area
council of Boy Scouts. Klam
ath council Camp Fire Girls and
Girl Scouts, along with the Sal
vation Army. Ten different or
ganizations used these camps
during the 1944 season with
many outdoor activities offered
including boating, swimming,
fishing and horseback riding,
in addition to the regular su
pervised recreational program.
JAVA EXPORT
Dragon's blood, a red-colored
resin derived from the root of a
rattan palm and widely used to
color varnishes and lacquers, Is
one of the leading exports of
Java in normal times.
