THE CIO strongly endorses

Forest Survey as a minimum
II knows that happy families
and prosperous communities are
not built upon nomadic indus
tries. The history of the timber
industry in this country is one
OF continual movement. Perma-
nent industry is based upon con-
tinuous supply OF raw materials;
timber industries and public of
ficials responsible for the ad-
ministration OF our timber lands
must have a reliable balance
sheet of timber supply and de-
mand.
THE Forest Survey furnishes
that balance sheet"
Regarding a wartime scarcity
OF timber, Mr.. Smith said:
The important point is that
in case of another war, we could
not produce 1916 billion board
feet, as we did the last time,
but only about 30 billion. The
reason is that we cut most of
our readily accessible stands OF
soft wood during the recent war
Large areas OF second growth in
the Southeast were cut, and
many of the more accessible
stands In the West.

Miss Nord, a master of the free

extended her activities to the
field of interpretative dancing
on skates-her virsion of the
Hawaiian Hula Hula last year
creating such sensation she
was prompted to delve deeper
into the classics for this latest
edition of the 81 100000 spectac-
lie, with its i40 performers. East
Indian dancing is unique, as the
gesturing of the hands and head
tell a story as completely as the
intricate steps and 1.-THE body
movements.
While in Paris last summer
with Skating Vanities on its first
venture across the Atlantic, Miss
Nord spent considerable time
with Kathryn Dunham, acknowl-
edged leader of East Indian
dance interpretations--and later
in England she trained with
members of the London Ballet.
Critics OF, the dance who saw
Miss Nord's HUI a interpreta-
tions were amazed at the au-
thenticity of her efforts, gained
by long study with a native
Hawaiian dancer. She has spent
countless hours in developing
her East Indian routine, and is
now ready to offer what Gae
Foster, director of chorography
for Skating Vanities, declares is
a most startling revelation in

Mr.. Smith also represents the

Behind the whole issue lies
the question OF sustained-yield

he said. Partly, this is a prob

pension programs aren't a SUBJ
ject on which management mush
bargain with unions, and NAM
spokesman Ira Mossher hedged
carefully on approving any
specific boosts in present dis
gracefully low old age benefit
levels.
! On only one point was Mosher
put on record for an improve
ment in the social security law
the NAM now supports COM
plete coverage of all wage earn
ers. However, NAM joined
other industry spokesmen in op-
posing writing into law of a
definition of ''employe" which
would bring salesmen under the
protection of social security.
Industry opposition is based on
their fear that they'll have to
pay unemployment compensa-
ton taxes on these workers itl
they're considered covered for
old age and survivors insur-
ance.
Despite the views of more
forward-looking employers like
Charles E. Wilson of General
Motors, who now supports i'm
provements in the federal old
age insurance program, Mosher
insisted that federal benefits
should be enough to provide
only the ''bare necessities" of
food, clothing and shelter. Pri-
vate. pension programs should
make up the balance, Mosher
insisted.
He deplored the recent Ford,
steel and coal industry pension
agreements and the prior Su-
preme Court decision which
ruled employers must bargain
in good faith on pensions. '1oz,
day." Mosher said sadly, g
company pension program, inS
stead OF being an evidence or
the company's unusual interest
in its employees welfare, has be-
come the chief cause of violent
dispute between organized la
Dor and management"
The good group of pension
plans, Mosher claimed, provide
for limited vesting of benefits
in empolyes who have been COW
cred by the pension plan for
relatively few years" However,
in answer to questions from
committee staff members, he
conceded that now the vast bulk
of the workers covered are in
Inon-vested plans, in which the
worker loses all accumulated
credit when he moves from one
company to another.aW lsr {

two question most often asked

he observed.
"We're the most powerful
union in America" he said OF
the UAW, pointing out that last

were able to win employer-paid
pensions. A sound pension plan
is the point at issue in the
Chrysler strike, and the same
issue will be in the forefront
during GM negotiations starting
soon, he added. However, the
UAW president said, the union
