C. Arthur Bruce, who has been Executive Officer of the Lumber Code Authority since its organization, orally tendered his resignation on February 14 and confirmed it in a letter dated February 18. The vacancy will not be filled until after the meeting of the National Control Committee of the Lumber Code Authority now scheduled for March 19. Mr. Bruce's letter of resignation, addressed to John D. Tennant, Chairman of the Lumber Code Authority, follows:

"I hereby confirm my resignation as Executive Officer of the Lumber Code Authority which was verbally tendered you on February 14th.

"The fact that you informed me on that date that the National Recovery Administration had indicated to you that such action on my part would be desirable is the only reason I care to give for my action.

"As the Executive Officer is the spokesman for the industry and the official contact with Government, any other action on my part might mean that the industry would be handicapped in its relations with the National Recovery Administration. This I desire to avoid.

"However, from certain information that has come to me and also certain other members of the Authority, I can not help but believe that political pressure has been exerted but the exact knowledge in this respect I do not have, nor do I think you have. This leads me to say, however, that while it is well known that I am a Republican and ran on the Republican ticket for Governor of Tennessee in the fall of 1930, I have been l0o/o with the President and General Hugh Johnson in their constructive plans for the rehabilitation of industry and the nationJhrough the N.I.R.A.

"fn closing I reiterate my belief in our Lumber Code as a means of self-government and express the hope to continue to give it support in other ways than through service as Executive Officer."
