tlclitns of both purlins "some sincere
and some not so sincere, have taken
up the sword to do butUn for the
veteran and the Uhdei privileged."
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

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.
Popularity Increased
Book matches were highly un
popular when thev first were made,
fewer than a million being made
during the first year. Today more
than 200 billion book matches arc
produced In the United States annually.
