Soviet Timber Exports Urged

Geneva, July 18-The Soviet Union, rvhich possesses the only large unexploited forests in Europe, could do much torvarcl ending the European timber shortage if it r,r'ould consent to increase its t'ood exports, according to a report of the European Commission on Forestry and Forest Products.

The comnrission, u'hich has just concluded a session n'hich rr'as attencled by 36 delegates from 19 European countries, is an agency of the United Nations Food and .\gricrrlt rrr:rl Organization.

Xlost rif the commission report rvas der.oted to proposals aimed at reorienting Europe's {orestry problems s'ith the er.rd in viel. of making Europe as nearly self-supporting in timber as its forest resources t'ill permit.

The commission report included .an estimate that rarv materials derir..ecl from present cuttings of soft u'ood, pit ' props, hardrvood and railu'a1' ties are bet'n'een 20 and 3AVo short.

\(/ood Research Laboratory Facilities Enlarged

Washington, D. C.-Growing recognition of the value of research to the lumber industry has resulted in an expansion of plant and facilities of the Timber Engineering Company wood research laboratory.

Recent completion of a (fr' by 60' one-story addition to the laboratory makes possible additional services for the manufacturers and users of lumber and wood products. The laboratory, established in 1943, is engaged in product development and research on the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of ivood.

To expand markets for lumber, Timber Engineering Company pioneered to gain recognition of wood as an engineering material and developed the Teco connector system of rvood construction. Facilities at the lab include equipment developed especially for testing full scale 50' trusses-the only equipment of its kind in the country.

To improve the mechanical .ivear of railway ties is a new project that is jointly sponsored by associations of lumber manufacturers and the Association of American Railroads.

Another far reaching study just started is aimed at de-' veloping an economical and practical means of decreasing the shrinking and swelling of construction lumber and other wood products.

Finding economic uses for low-grade and waste hardwoods is a major project underway at the laboratory. Development of a hardwood pulping process has formed the basis for the production of many valuable new products out of material formerly considered unusable.

Ijsers of rvood office furniture will' benefit from such Teco developments as burn and stain-proof desk tops and non-marring desk legs.

The new laboratory building itself is a tribute to the strides in rvood engineering resulting from industry research. it is built with glued laminated timber girders (9%" *24f" x 20') which rvill support a second floor r,vhen further expansion is desired. The girders are built up of 15 laminations of l-5/8" material and .nere produced by Rilco Laminated Products, Inc., Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

The Timber Engineering Company, an affiliate of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, has oflices at 1319-18th Street, N. W., \Vashinston, D. C.
