Hutchison; Don Short, vice president of Walter Landor & Associates; customs attorney Ned Glad, of Glad & Tuttle; Bronson Lewis, secretary of the American Plywood Association; and [. Barry Thompson, vice president, international department, United California Bank.

Hopeful of a government compromise, Glad told the group that a judge had ruled that overseas mill price, not selling price, should determine the basis of duty appraisement. Although the government has appealed, Glad was optimistic that a compromise agreement would be reached by this coming June.

In the field of predictions, Washington, D.C. attorney Myron Solter, told the group that he felt the Herlong antidumping bill had an excellent chance to come before Con- gress this year. Also that there is a definite possibility of the United States imposing oPreferential Tariffs' on commodities imported from'underdeveloped countries.' Solter also pointed out that a recent U.S. Forest Service survey predicts a 22L/o increase in the use of hardwood plywood in this country by the year 2000 and quoted the report as estimating that domestic production capabilities could supply only a small part of this increase.

Although the convention produced many finer points too numerous to cover, it was evident that IHPA is on the verge of emerging 'as a truly national association not only concerned with legal representation in Washington, D.C., but also striving for uniform industry standards and practices, orderly marketing, and the merchandising of imported hardwood productg not just as a commodity, but for their exotic appeal and end use.
