Colgan Requests Approval of Appropriation To Control Forest Pests

Washington, D. C.-In an appearance before the Deficiencies Sub-Committee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Richard A. Colgan, Jr., executive vice president, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, testified in favor of the proposed supplemental appropriation for "Control of Forest I'ests-Forest Pest Control Act."

In requesting approval of the $4,500,000 appropriation Colgan said, "We of the lumber industry have consistently requested economy in Fedcral expenditures. We believe in that premise. However, the deficiency appropriation under consideration represents funds needed for emergency purposes and thus constitutes an exceptional situation."

Mr. Colgan outlined to the committee the present serious infestations that exist in the extensive federal forest lands located in our Western States. He pointed out the inherent dangers in the spread of spruce budworm, bark and pine beetles to intermingling state and private forests located in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado. He indicated that private forest owners stand trrrck. All facilities have bccn strcanrlincd with the idca of giving better and quickcr service to customers. reacly to do their share in combatting the pest menace.

The morc popular hardu'oocls such as Korina, rift oak, u'alnut, birch, I'hilippinc mahogany, eltn, and gum have been uscd in the decoration <lf thc new offices. In the llriv:rtc ofticc of I)on Braley, m:lnag'er, rvalnut and oak havc becn usecl r.rn opposite walls, and the ceiling has been panelc<l in oak. P,irch in various finishes has been used for paneling in the general office, and red bircl-r is used in thc shipping clcrk's office.

Architccts and retail lumber dealers are invited to bring clients :rn<l customers in to see rvhat can l>e done u,ith hardn'oorl lllvrv<-rod.

In his summation, Colgan declared, "These forest pests are no respecters of property lines, and experience has shown that such insects insufficiently controlled can threaten the .continrred existence of an entire forest industry in a given area."

Hc strongly urged favorable consideration of the appropriation in this case since it represented a minimum amotlnt needed to stop an epidemic infestation before it really began.

Mr. Colgan's testimony and comments u'ere lvell received by Committee members Senator McKellar (D., Tenn.) Chairman, Senator Ellender (D., La.), Senator Cordon (R., Oregon), and Senator Gurney (R., S. D.).
