Nixon Report Gets OK

The timber resources section of President Nixon's economic report won praise from Western lumbermen, who noted that the President's report recognized the problems facing the industry in its attempts to supply the raw material for the nation's housing.

Support of the recommendations was given by Roy Utke, president of Western Wood Products Association, and general manager of Fruit Growers Supply Co.

Nixon explained in his report that more than half of the softwood sawtimber is on public land, and recom' mended to the Secretary of Agriculture that he make plans to increase timber yield from these fede;ral lands.
