A. Space utilization, manpower utilization, equipment utilization, materials utilization.

B. Choose long-term solution, rather than stop-gap.

C. Make use of full engineering facilities of suppliers.

Gentlemen. I'm sure that you will have the business courage to self-criticize and improve when others will cut-back and postpone; I'm sure that you *'ould not send a horse-and-buggy out on the Freeway; I'm sure that you will tie a can to any obsolete mechanicalhandling syst€ms. Thank you for letting me join you here at the convention today.

Lumbermon Wolter 5. Johnson Gifrs Sqn Froncisco $2 million fo Sove Poloce of Fine Aris

Millionaire Lumberman Walter S. Tohnson. board chairman of American Forest Products Corp., San Francisco, and two other companies and president bf Friden Calculators and five other firms, pledged a cool $2 million, May 25, to .cover -the. city's share in rehabilitating the crumbling Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina. Witi no strinss atl tached!An additional 91.8 million was to be voted;"n November but its chances of passing are now much greater.

* Th" ryealthy, civic-minded Johnson, president "of the Palace of Fine Arts League, said that if no one else would save the venerable monument, he would. ..I fell in love with tbat build.in_g when.it first went up 44 years ago," he said. "f t's a building with a soul; it refused fo die. "

"I'll be. frank," he continued. "I've had a vigorous and successful business life. I seem to have more mJney than I have need !o_r. My Creator put it in my hands f6r some purpose and f can think of nothine bettei than the restoration of the Palace of Fine-Arts." -

The wood-and-plaster structure is expected to be restored with concrete and steel. The lumber executive,s gift will rehabilitate the crumbling columns and dome; whaithe citv puts- up will be for interiror finishing of the main hall. Tht work covers_ complete razing of ttrl present rotunda and co^lonnades. Mr-_Johnson saiil the rebuilding will stand for 1,000 years ('ltlt !g disappointed if it doesi,t,').

The state of California-stil1 has $2 million set aside as its share of the $4 million it would cost to rebuild the relic of the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. After the voters turned down a bond issue last - November. Mayor Chris- topher first announced he would order the palace de- molished. But he later changed his mind. Lumberman Johnson was appointed presid-ent in February of a pFA league to try to raise the $2 million somehow. When he called the press conference May 25, he said the worrying was over; he'd put up the cash himself.

A native of Michigan, Walter S. Johnson was educated at UC and Hastings Law School, practiced in San Francisco, worked briefly on the old S.F. Bulletin, served as a captain in WWI, then returned in 1919 to enter the lumber business. At 74, he feels and acknowledges the debt he owes
