RMPR 26,lncluding Amendment 5-Douglas Fir and Other \(/est Coast Lumber

Washington, D. C., Jan.27.---Tightening of the provisions governing producers'maximum prices for Douglas fir, white fir and hemlock-designed to assist enforcement ofifrcials in securing strict observance of ceilings-was announced today by the Office of Price Administration.

To clarify pricing for enforcement, the following steps have been taken:

1. Sellers of items of Douglas fir, white fir or hemlock lumber for which ceiling prices have not been specifically provided by OPA must apply to OPA for a proposed price or, failing that, invoice the lumber at $15 per 1,000. board feet, the ceiling price for the lowest grade of lumber.

2. Additions permitted for scaffold planking are limited to material nine inches and wider.

3. The additions of $2 and $3 per 1,000 board feet that may be made to maximum prices for listed types of surfacing operations performe.d on clear lumber are now made applicable to all types of surfacing operations on clear lumber. The purpose of this is to prevent the pyramiding oi surfacing charges.

4. The size of rough lumber now is defined. The definition says all rough lumber henceforth must be of sufficient width and thickness to permit dressing S4S (surfacing four sides) to American Lumber Standards.

In another ,change, a maximum charge of 5O cents per 1,000 board feet is established for stenciling, when required by the buyer, to any extent beyond grade marking and simple identification.

An increase of $8 per 1,000 board feet in producers' ceilings for three grades of Douglas fir, white fir and hemlock flat grain flooring in the five-eighths-inch by six-inch size is authorized. This restores the customary industry relationship between the price of this material and flat grain flooring five-eighths-inch by four inches. Only a small quantity of this size of flooring is produced, and the increased ceiling will have little or no effe'ct on mill tealization, OPA said.

OPA further announced a reduction in the ceiling prices for green flooring and ,siding, through establishment of a deduction of $5 per 1,000 board feet if the material is not seasoned. This establishes the normal relationship between green and seasoned clears worked to these patterns. Previously green flooring and siding could be sold at higher prices when sold as "finish."
