An order signed by Communist

minister, directed the atale secur
ity police to "extend generally"
the measures begun at first on the
Interzonal frontier to "hinder the
entrance ol dlversloulals, spies and
terrorists In the terrltury ol tho

It provided sentences at least
two yrara In jail lor violators "un

'I1ie death penalty Is already
provided for major violators ol a
catch-all Communist law "lor pro

The order came as the Western

Douglas Fir
Output Down
PORTLAND I Production ol
Douglas fir lumber is running 6.7
per cent under that for last year,
and with orders ari shipments '
also down, stocks on hand are
higher than at comparable timet
last year and the year before.
That was reported Thursday by
the West Coast Lumbermen's Aa-
soclatlon. In the first five months
of the year, production waa 4.264,-
316.000 board leet. That Is more
than 300 million leet under last
year at this time.
A year ago, despite record pro-,
ductlon. the output could not keep
up with orders or shipments. This
year, though, ordera are a little i
below production and ahlpments
are a alight amount over produc
tion.
Unfilled orders at the end ol
May were listed at 848,482.000
board feet while on the same date
laat year there were orders at
hand for 1,082.110.000 feel. Gross
stocks May 31 were 917.160.000
feet, about 160 million greater
than a year ago.
Despite this seeming unfavorable
comparison. Harris t. smith, as
sociation secretary, pointed out
that production waa 4 per cent
over the average lor the past live
years and had been hampered In i
May by a strike.
