Cleared of FTC Charses

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has junked a civil action brought tr,vo years ago by the Federal 'Irade Commission against 15 plyrvood mannfacturers and the industry trade association to rvhich they belong.

The court's decision writes "finis" to an action which grew oLlt of certain technical violations of the FTC Act alleged to have occurred during the pre-r.var years 19351941. This resulted in a ,cease and desist order in 1950, set aside by the decision of the circuit court filed Jan.24.

The decision affects Douglas Fir Plyrvood Association of Tacoma, Wash., and only 15 of the 70 plyrvood manufacturers now in production in Washington, Oregon and California.

Commenting or-r the court's action, O. Schrader. Jr., managing director of the association, said in Tacoma:

"The decision upholds our contention all along that the case is old ar-rd stale and that there isn't anything to 'cease and desist' from. Apparently the court agrees."

Schrader cmphasized that the "sole aim of this association is and always has been creation of demand through quality maintenance and trade promotion for the products of the plywood industry." He added :

"This consists of a promotion campaign which has just been jumped to rvell above a million and a half dollars anriually designed to educate users in the markets and myriad uses for plywood-uses covering the entire construction fielcl, boats, farm builtlings, factory maintenance, railroad cars and truck manufacture.

"The association also maintains a comprehensive system of quality maintenance to assure high quality of product and a program of product research to develop new technical data on plywood properties."
