Two Types of Western Lumber Affected Ponderosa Pine Woodwork Aimg at Post' bv OPA Ruling \(/ar Support of Lumber Dealer

San Francisco, Jan. l9.-Distribution yard sales of two types of western lumber, Sitka spruce and redwood, today were placed by the Office of Price Administration under the piovisions of the existing price regulations covering simiLr sales of Douglas fir, 'Western pine, Southern pine, and red cedar shingles.

Set out in amendment No. 3 to maximum price regulation No. 215 (distribution yard sales of softwood) the action will stabilize the retail prices for the lumber items at levels reflecting such increased replacement costs as have occurred since March,1942.

Mill ceiling prices were previously established in dollars and cents figures in separate regulations for the different species. The general pricing formula used in regulation No. 215 allows a l0 percent mark-up on f.o.b' mill ceiling prices plus transportation charges (from basing point to yard) plus $5.00 per thousand board feet handling charges.

Special provisions and rules governing sales by "OPA contract yards," which are yards operating under special arrangements with directions from agencies of the War Department, are also incorporated in today's action, effective January 25, 1943.

At the same time OPA announced that it is conducting a study of distribution yard sales and is planning a regulation which will establish ceiling prices for all lumber sold by distribution yards whether in large or small quantities. For the time being, all distribution yard sales of softwood not covered by regulation 215 remains under the control of the general maximum price regulation.

Today's action includes measures designed to bring itself to those yards making several types of sales which recently have been subjected to a squeeze because of higher leplacement costs and to yards tvhich purchase lumber from other distribution yards.

The amendment establishes the basing points as follows: Eureka, Calif., for redwood, and Portland, Ore., for Sitka spruce.

While there are many opportunities today to sell doors, windows, frames and other items of woodwork, a substantial part of the activities of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork are directed toward the post-war building market. In a talk before the annual meeting of the Southern Sash & Door Jobbers Association, in New Orleans, Robert Bodkin, general manager of Ponderosa Pind Woodwork, emphasizes the double-barrelled objectiv€ of his organization.

Many authorities anticipate a boom in building soon after the end of the war. They predict, almost unanimously, a great increase in the design and development of new materials. It is known that many manufacturers are today experimenting and perfecting competitive products which they plan to introduce promptly after V-Day.

Mr. Bodkin pointed out that often, in the past, these new materials did not favor the lumber dealer as the most efficient method of distribution. In fact, some products have circumvented the lumber dealer entirely.

Ponderosa Pine Woodwork is supporting the lumber dealer, in all its activities. Mr. Bodkin stated that public interest, resulting from advertising inquiries and other means of checking, has approximated the same volume as in 1941. He predicted that in the New Year Ponderosa Pine Woodwork will continue to cultivate ptrblic interest in the postwar market, and at the same time to stimulate the immediate sale of woodrvork items. The demand for storm sash and doors has not slackened and there are various othef repair and remodeling jobs which can be carried on, rvithin the limitations of the WPB Ruling. Every effort will be made to maintain the volume of business. But, at the same time. the activities of the association will include ample attention to the cultivating and protecting of the post-war market.

Rubber tires for industrial power trucks may be delivered for replacement purposes to fiIl purchase orders rated A-1-A or higher on PD-IA certificates only. War orders are exempted from the restrictions. No vehicle manufacturer may have an inventory in excess of his requirements for 30 days (Supplementary Order M-15-G), issued January 16.

Priorities Regulation No. 3 as Amended

Priorities Regulation No. 3 has been amended to provide for the placing of priority rated purchase orders by telegraph and by telephone. In extending a prioritl'rating by telegraph you should include in the telegram the certification "ratings indicated are certified pursuant to priorities Regulation No. 3, As Amended." A copy of the telegram signed by the authorized official of the Company extending the rating must be kept on file. Although it is not mandatory, we suggest that you follow the telegram up with a letter to the supplier using the following certification which is the same one that has been used in extending ratings according to Priorities Regulation No. 3 in the past:
