Bill Would Aid Lumber Shippers

A revised bill to allow Pacifi,c Northwest lumber producers b .-hip lumber to U. S. East Coast ports on foreign vess,els under certain conditions has been approved by the Senate Commerce Committee.

The bill, by Senator Warren G. lVlagnuson (Dem.-Wash.), chairman of the committee, was wolked out in line with President Kennedy's six-point prog.ram to help the depressed lumb,er industry.

The legislation would give lumber shippers a limited and temoorary exemption from provisions of the Jones Act, whi-ch requires American Flag vessels in the U. S. coastal trade.

The exemption would expire on January 31, 1964. Until then l_u_mber shippers could use foreign flag vessels : l. When no domestic water carriei serviie is "reasonably available to the shipper."

2. Il the Commeiie Secretary declares the domestic lumber industry is being injured by foreign competition.

3. When-rates oria 'isubstantially "parallel"' foreign route are at least 20 per cent lor;r'er than those on a domestic route.

The bill was offered in response to complaints that Canadian producers could ship lumber from Biitish Columbia to U. S. Fast Coast ports on foreign ships at rates much lower than those paid by U. S. producers on American ships.
