NLMA Meeting Tqkes Strong Stclnds

(Ccintinued from Page 2) national good. The balance betu'een central and state powers and responsibilities must l;e re-appraised at once. Of particular interest today is the threatenecl intervention of the federal government in the field of education, r'r'hich should remain as one of the peculiar and proper functions of state government."

HOUSING AND CONSTRUCTION-"Public housing is essentially charity housing and, if any is necessary, it should be providecl by local commttnities lvhich are in a position to evaluate their ou'n neerls. Private investment institutions should be given mzrximum encouragement, and government participatictn in the h<-rusing lield shoulcl avoicl competitir-rn rvith these institrrtions. The operation of government mclrtgalle insltrance l)r()g'rams shoulcl tle geared to the needs of the nzrtionirl economy and artificial :tnd ttnnecessary restraints should be eliminatecl."

GOVERNMENT COMPETITION-"The government should neither o\\'n nor operate bttsiness, industrial corrcerns or plants in competition u-ith those privately rlu'ne<l and operatecl. The government should divest itself immediately of the ou'nership or operation of anv industriai facilities not clearly ir-rdispensable to national defense. \Ve oppose the movement to establish 'valley authorities' similar t<r TVA. Here is a perfect example of the federal government in competition r,ith private enterprise."

ECONOMIC CONTROLS-"An imminent threat of u'ar or actual hostilities mav require limited reliance upon direct emergenc)' controls to prevent seriotts disruptitln of the normal functioning of clur cclnipetitive enterprise system. in the event of a continuing prriblem of national secnrity u'hich does not have an acute impact upon the economy. rnajor reliance should l>e placed upon indirect measures bearing on monetary, fiscal and credit policies to control inflation and maintain as nearly as possible the normal functioning of our economic system. We still face the danger of further inflation activated by numerous government interventions. Therefore, n,e should be on our guard against increased use of this destructive tool of the Communists and others u'ho seek to u'reck our g()vernment and our system of competitive prir-ate enterprise."

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS-"Lavishing our resorlrces and attentions uJ)ot1 other countries and llrescribing nothing in return generates in them jealousies, resentmellts, :rrrtagonisms and inferiority cr>mplexes r.r'hich neutralize our cff<;rts to be helpful ar-rd thu'arts ()t1r 1)tlrl)()se to build an irnpreglrable fortress for a free u'orlcl. In ottr dealings rvith other nations and in orrr plans to aid thenr, u'e should reject the irnpractical iclea of a l'tirld government. lrlre should never surrencler ottr sovereigntl' t() ltny sullranzrtional attthority or organization. The tinte has come u,hen adequate pror.ision should be made for repayment of outlays to foreign countries. "

FOREST POLICY-"Private enterprise and initiative are profitably prclviding effective management. use and renen-al of our forests. Permanent lumller and other forest industries are essential to our national u'elfare. The rvise use of our forest resources is rrital in maintaining such industries and the communities deirendent upon them."

Directors of the National I-umber Manufacturers Association. at their 1957 Spring meeting in Boston, NIay 15, set the stage for possible expansion of the lttn.rber industry's resezrrch, merchanclising and rvood school prcimotion efforts.

Merchandising 1>roposals r'r.ill be developed l>y a subcomr.nittee of NLl\IA's Special Merchanclising committee. Appointed members of the srrbcommittee include: N. B. Giustina of Giustina Brothers Lumber Co., Eugene, Ore.; Kenneth Smith of The Pacific Lumber Co., San Francisco; L.J. C--arr of L. J. Carr & Co., Sacramento, Calif.; T. L. O'Gara of the \\/eyerhaeuser Sales Co., St. Paul, Nfinn.

A highlight of the three-day meeting, May 13-15, was a panel discussion of the factors responsible for the growing popularity of one-story rvood schools. Slides tvere shorvn of outstanding examples of \vood school construction and nelv methods of using wood products in this field. More research on the dimensional stabilization of u'ood products, greater off-site pre-assembly of building parts, more emphasis on design and faltrication in modular units, improvement of r,vood's {ire resistant prclperties, and development o{ shapes and structural sections using u.ood to best advantage were called for.

"Wood, because it u'ill burn, is generally considered to be more hazardous than steel-frame," a speaker pointed out. "But'ive know that a r,vood-frame wall, n'ith fire stops properly placed and protected 'il ith fi-inch plaster, rvill receive the same fire rating as a light steel-frame nall .il'ith s/-inch plaster protection," he said.

In discussing the economl' aspects of u'ood scliools, the speaker revielved bids received ltv the Santa Monica, Calif., Board of E,ducation for three different tvpes of school construction. The bids, all on the same school, ran 9114.000 for wood-frame, $130,700 for steel-frame, and $145,988 for reinforced concrete, he said.

Principal speaker at the lumber meeting u,as George Nf. Rideout, noted business analyst and vice presiclent of Babson's Reports, Inc.

The business expert said he looks for generally good tin.res to continue for the next l0 years but r.varnecl that union demands for higher wages an<l shorter \\r()rking. hours could set 1ff a recession earlier. One indicator of a possible recession, he declared, would be a dou'nturn in nen, credit obligations.

Rideout said prospects are ltright for more u.ood schools, a continuation of the trend to suburbia and a further grou'th in do-it-_r', rursel f act i vi lies.
