JANUARY It, 1031 THK RttlNCLANDGR DAILY NEWS PACK 3 Timber Group 'Urged to Help Halt Inflation LAND O'LAKES (Special) Members of the Timber Producers Association of Wisconsin and Michigan, meeting here Monday and Tuesday, went home today with a warning that they will have to band -together to stamp out wildcat tact ics which have had serious effects on the industry in the entire lake states area. Association officers told members ihat they must act as good citizens to assist in the defeat of Communism and other subversive groups and to aid the government in the current defense effort. More than 200 of the timber industry's leaders, were present. A review of stumpage prices for last year was conducted, with state and federal agencies presenting their views on the handling of timber sales. Availability of timber at present and for future use appeared to have a distinct bearing on current high prices.

How- cyeiY state and federal groups insisted that adequate timber was and would be available. Paper mill representatives voiced the opinion that they would be able to use every type of pulpwood produced in the region, with increasing demands for Sale of exceedingly large tracts of timber in one solid block was described as being unfair to small pro- Queers who were without necessary capital for such contracts. Forestry officials told the group that sucH method of sale was more economical than handling numerous small sales, but they promised to investigate and make every effort to make sales of a size more in agreement the timbermen's demands. Eye New Supplies. Although the meeting was not the 'complete answer to all the put by the timbermen, a lengthy discussion lead the group to believe that release of additional timber stumpage at this time would tend; to reduce stumpage prices through new supplies being made available.

Those present agreed to make every effort to make such condition possible and promised to cooperate in every manner possible to assist in this suggestion. The Timber Producers Associa- i tion has appointed special commit- to work with all government agencies in determining the allowable cut in the Michigan-Wisconsin area, and to have this committee follow through on ideas submitted General feeling of the group was that a voluntary progrem neec be arranged within the industry which would get back to good business tactics and wipe out excessive spending which will naturally reflect in the ultimate manufactured product.

While the total traffic death count for the past year was 10 per cent higher than in 1949, the deaths among walkers dropped 10 per cent, the fatal accident tabulation show.

For the five men still work at. Brink's money express, still do the same tasks. They'll be remembering the clown-masked robbers' faces that suddenly stared through a grill, and the black pistols.

They'll remember how they were tied, their itiouths taped. How the bandits dragged out laundry bags heavy With in small bills plus a half million in And melted away in the night. Twelve months' search by thousands of police the country over have failed to find the six, or seven, or eight bandits (the police don't even know'how many or their facial appearance). Tho- robbers now seem even further from capture than they wore on that nightmarish Jan. 17, 1950.

Left No Good Clues. They came in through six locked doors, presumably with passkeys, and hooded in Hallowe'en masks; dressed in visored caps, pea jackets, dark trousers to resemblq Brink's drivers; rubber-shod to muffle footsteps; wearing gloves to veil fingerprints. They left no useful clue. Only these picked up here and there over a period of weeks: A visored cap found outside Brink's, 32 pieces of cord for tying the Brink's men, a Brink's pistol taken from the strongroom and hurled down a riverbank in suburban Somerville, a cut-to-pieccs light panel truck stolen months earlier and found scattered on a suburban dump, an acetylene torch that might have helped chop up the truck. There was never a fingerprint, nor even enough description to show whether the men were white, black or yellow.

"Inside job!" cried the police first on the scene as they surveyed the six locked doors, the labyrinth-like interior of the big three-story harbor-front garage near Boston's north railroad station. This suspicion faded. A vast police dragnet dredged from the underworld all who, policemen thought, might be suspect. Their alibis were checked. Their subsequent movements were watched.

Six hundred were questioned Detectives traveled from Boston to far parts of the country checking 5,000 clues, calls, from amateur detectives, or clairvoyants hoping for a $180,000 reward. All the trails faded. The crime is as big a mystery today as the night it happened.
