More Sowtimber Vitql to U.S.

Robert V. Hansberger, the head of Boise Cascade, has told Congress that filling national housing needs clearly requires substantial increases in the availability of softwood sawtimber.

He was one of 16 forest products industry witnesses appearing before Idaho Senator Frank Church's public lands subcommittee which is investigating federal forest management policies.

Explaining that peak activity in housing and peaks of lumber consumption o'directly correspondo" he pointed out that in the biggest housing year (1950 when 1,908,' 000 new starts were recorded) domestic sawtimber pro' duction was the highest since 1929 and total U.S. lumber consumption was 40.9 billion bf., highest since World War I.

Attainment of national housing goals of 26 million new and rehabilitated housing units by 1978, Hansberger said, averaging 2.6 million units a year-will require about "half again as much lumber and plywood'? each year.
