Third Quarter Production Quotas

Washington, D. C., June 25.-Third quarter production quotas for Divisions and Subdivisions, in addition to those already announced, were approved as follows:

Oak Flooring ...36,000,000 ft. B.M.

Maple, Beech and Birch Flooring 19,000,000 ft. B.M. Broom and N{op Handle .19,000,000 handles Veneer Subdivision ...,....80,000,000 Sur. measure Plywood Package Subdivision . .80,000,000 Sur. measure Eastern Shook and Box ..61,000,000 ft. B.M. Redwood Split Products ... ......8,000,000 ft. B.M.

No significant changes from the quotas for the second quarter have been made in the above schedules, except for Redwood Split Products which represents a considerably increased quota based on large demand from the California wine industry. Reduced quotas already have been announced, however, for items going into house construction, due to the consistent falling off in demand. It is hoped the Federal program for stimulating'home building and home repairing, as embodied in the Housing Act, will be reflected in such increased calls for lumber for home-building purposes as to warrant increased quotas in the fourth quarter.
