Balsa Wood lmportr Affected by

WPB Order

San Francisco, Dec. 8.-Importers of balsa wood on the Pacific coast today'were advised that imports under existing contracts are prohibitied unless the material had been prepared for shipment to the United States.

The War Production Board stated that aero-grade balsa wood, even if prepared for shipment, may not be imported without specific permission.

Balsa wood was brought under import control on June 10. But shipments under contracts then existing were unaffected.

Today's action was taken to prevent the contracts which remain out-standing from conflicting with the governmental program to obtain balsa wood from Ecuador and other South American countries.

Balsa wood is used in the manufacture of airplane parts, buoyant life-saving apparatus, and other important products. f ts sale and use is governed by Order M-177.
