While the nation cusses him, we still are told that in this mine strike business John L. Lewis has done nothing illegal. How about contributing to the delinquency of half a million miners?

**:|< of course, the stories :;a *oor"".r"r"aic confusion in Washington far outnumber the war stories; but there's nothing funny about them. Not to taxpayers. We have finally achieved unity in this country on one subject at least. One hundred and thirty million people agree that things on the home front are in a frightful and unbelievable mess. Our industrial plants producing war goods are performing miracles. Our soldiers and sailors are making valorous history. But Oh, that home front !

I can remember back to the days when most of our jokes were about traveling salesmen' Then the Ford car took the lead. Then the sayings of Confucius stepped in. Now most stories are about our service men and women. None of them, so far, half as good as a hundred stories of the first World War.

When Brigadier General Nathan Bedford Forrest died the other day in a flaming American Army plane over Kiel, there passed the last of a mighty name. His greatgrandfather was the Civil War general of whom General Sherman said it would be worth ten thousand men to "get'" him. General Nathan Bedford Forrest the first was one of the fightingest and most formidable men that Father Time has produced. From the cradle to the grave he was a fighter of the most flaming sort. With his hands, a knife, a pistol, a gun, or at the head of a column of troops, he was an army of fighters rolled into the form of one man. He has often been called "the personification of battle incarnate." Haven't read yet whether the 38.year-old great-grandson was like him; but if he was, our enemies have been spared much trouble.

General Sam Houst* r, "*U,*d with many original and unusual uses of words. He could draw remarkable distinctions. When the news came to him of the destruction of that immortal band of Texans under Travis at the Alamo, Houston said: "Buck Travis was a brave man, but I warned him that five thousand Mexicans were marching on him, and he should retreat. The trouble with Travis is that he used to be a school teacher, and while he understood FIGURES he did not understand NUMBERS."

The wise campaign against loose talk about war matters, ship and troop movements, etc., continues. Shakespeare had something to say on that subject when he had one of his characters say to his wife: "Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know." And some later wise man said: "Three can keep a secret, if two of them never hear it." But they hit the jackpot the other day in London, when a wedding carriage drove through the main streets, with a sign in chalk across the back that read: "Result of careless talk."

Price Ceiling for Southern Hardwood Rough Construction Boards

Dollars-and-cents maximum prices for Southern hardwood rough construction boards were announced by the Office of Price Administration.

Base prices have been established as applying to rough boards principally because more rough material, or not completely machined material, is now moving to market, and the addition of machining differentials provides a simple method of pricing boards sold in various types of machining.

The revisions are provided in Amendment No. 5 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation No. 97 (Southern Hardwood Lumber), and become effective July 2, 1943.

Lumber Distributors Asked to Cooperate Labor-Management Advisory Committee for in Making Survey of Lumber Stocks West Coast Lumber Industry Announced

\\rashington, June l9-Representative lumber distributors are being asked by the War Production Board to cooperate in making a detailed survey of lumber stocks, WPB's lumber and lumber products division announced today. The survey, which has the support of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, is being undertaken as a basis for stimulating production of certain classes of lumber with critically low stocks and for better utilization of less limited items.

Existing information on stocks covers only quantities, division officials stated, and a more cietailed breakdor,vn by the quantity and location of species, sizes and grades is essential in order to determine vvhere emphasis must be placed in attempts to replenish stocks. War uses, it was pointed out, demand special classes of lumber.

Distributors, representing an approximate 10 per cent sampling of tl-re industry, are being asked to report on their stocks and it will be possible to compute the stock situation for the country on the basis of this information. The data will be compiled, evaluated and interpretated by the U. S. Forest Service in cooperation rvith WpB's lumber and lumber products division. Over-all data rvill be reported to the industry through press channels and industry advisorv committees.

Formation of a War Production Board labor-management advisory committee for the West Coast lumber industry was announced today by J. Philip Boyd, director of the Lumber and Lumber Products Division. "The committee," said Mr. Boyd, "will be an operating unit which will meet regularly and is expected to take positive and prompt action. It will function under the general direction of and in cooperation with F. H. Brundage, WPB's Western Log and Lumber Administrator (Portland, Oregon).

Members of the committee are: Chairman and Government representative, Lewis H. Mills, recently appointed consultant and adviser to the director of the Lumber Division on western labor-management problems; labor representatives, Bert Sleeman of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Jointers (A.F. of L.) and Worth Lowery of the International Woodworkers of America (C.I.O.); management representatives, Judd Greeman of the OregonAmerican Lumber Company, and George T. Gerlinger of the Willamette Valley Lumber Company.
