The result, he suld, has been nil un precedented demand fur new homes, "I do not menu to Infer," lie tmld, "that a real heed for tho prompt construction of linwr number of houNlnn units does not exist. U does exlfit. but the need Is not so uriccnt that every citizen who feels the dr. ilie for a new home should have that home now. "However, hope for such a miracle hus been Inspired by our Kovernmcnl in Wiuhiniuon mid this, with the diwweruiM easy home loan policy of that itovernmeut, has created a demand for bulldliiK uuitertals which the tremendous available capacity of Induniry could not have met even thouith there had occurred no gov ernmental tinkering with the eco nomic machine." The demand, he Mild, iurv uren annwered by a jccotd-shaUcilnif CflLlmiilcd 0 billion board feet pro duction for 1147 in the mills of the Western Pine rrKlon. Hut, the Port land lumberman pointed out, the coaI of kiich k phenomenal produc tion haa brrn hlKher prices. "Hubttiiiitlal IncrcuMvt in lumber production are accomplished only when the number of productive uuiu In IncieaM'd. Huch increane In pro ductive tinlia, and hence output, Is drpendent upon rlsluu prices." IUhrr price levels, he said, attract new, hluh-coftl and marttlnal mills into production when othciwUe they could not operate sucrc.ifully. Kullawuy said that houMutt pub licity has really exaKiteraled Uie effect of prcxrnt lumber prices Uxm housing costs. "It Is rxenerally uc cepled,'' he pointed out, "that the average home requires less than 10.000 board ferl of lumber. Any change In the cot of lumber will account for only a very Miinll wrt of the difference between present and prewar housing cosu." Tlie Portlander foreAaw no relief from high co-it of housing "unless the present federal administration is willing to substantially curtail the demand by contracting credit which It Is not in nn election year." He also cited present wage levels, current labor efficiency, increased transportation charges and Inflated atumpage prices as factors contri buting to present lumber cost. Also on the morning program was Richard A. Colgan Jr., executive vice pretldrnl of the National Lumber Manufacturers aASotiatlou, Wash liiKton, U. C.

Crude Oil On Export Ban WAHHINOTON, Feb. 20 ll'i The commerce department today banned the export of crude oil without a li cense to any foreign country except Canada. It waa the flrnt peacetime imposi tion of license controls on crude oils. It was also the second action In as many days to bolster scarce supplies of fuel at home by wiurez- i lug foreign receivers. j The controls allow the commerce department to say how much crude oil can be shipped out of the coun try and to whom. The department yesterday cut down on the amount of petroleum product It will permit to be shipped abroad. How much crude oil will be stopped from shipment under the new li cense control Is not clear since no export quota has yet been set. Crude oil shipments abroad have been at the rale of 7.200,000 barrels a year, exclusive of Canada, which has been getting 2.600,000 barrels a month.
