Opposes Creation o[ Another Federal Valley "Authority"

Unqualified opposition of the lumber industry to legislation designed to create a Columbia Valley Authority (S lt15) was expressed by Richard A. Colgan, Jr., before the'Senate Committee on Public Works.

"We regard these valley authorities," he declared, "as but another example cf Federal government competition with private industry.'

Mr.'CoJgan is Executive Vice President of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. The lumber industry has more than a "passing interest" in the bill, he said' "since the area here under consideration-the Pacific North'ivest--contains more than 40 per cent of the sawtimber in the United States, and since the proposed legislation would authorize and direct the new agency which rvould be created to carry out forestry programs which rvould vitally effect our industry "

Senator Dennis Chavez (D., N. Mex.), is Chairman of thc Senate Committee on Public Works. In order to give the lumber industry time and cpportunity to make full presentation of facts and informaticn, Colgan requested the Committee an opportunity, before concluding hearings on S. 1645 and related bil1s, to have several witnesses from the area involvecl "girre you the benefit of their knorvledge of the area, its fine progress in forestry and to demonstrate to you the ability of private enterprise in that area to carrY forrvard that program."

Senator Harry Cain, a member of the Committee, who has taken an active part in bringing out faults of the C. V. A. bill, asked Mr. Colgan several questions which brought out that the lumber industry comprises a major part of Pacific Northwest industry as a whole.

The National Lumber Manufacturers Association is a federation of sixteen regional, species and products groups, "representative of the lumber industry in all parts of the U. S.," Colgan told the committee.
