\(/ar Production Board Sends Public on Direction 18 to Order L-335 a Hunting Expedition for Lumber

Orrio W. Hamilton, secretary-manager of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association, says that "recent press releases covering Construction Order L-41 have left the impression with the buying public that lumber is now available in increased quantities for various construction purposes, although it has not been available up to this time."

These press releases, according to Mr. Hamilton, "are very misleading and are causing much disappointment on the part of the prospective purchaser, who goes to a lumber dealer for lumber, as well as to put the lumber dealer in an undeserved position."

While it is true that the War Production Board, through L-41, has increased the ceiling for "permitted construction," lVIr. Hamilton points out that "the WPB has not, at the same time, made any provision for the distributor to secure lumber for this increased buying demand, and he is thus forced to explain priorities requirements and. defend himself, as the buyer believes a yard full of lumljer should permit him to buy what he needs."

Mr. Hamilton cites that 'ithe average retail lumber yard is unable to buy, even with rated orders, what lumber he would like to buy, and has a very small quota of so-called "free lumber" that he can sell without piiority rating, for emergency essentials. This "free lumber" quota don't begin to meet the daily calls of each lumber yard for small orders of pick-up items; so, increasing ceilings on Order L-41 is like presenting a man with a check for 91,000.00 but cautioning him that there is no money in the bank to cash it."
