Planc for Further Prgmium Payments Regulationr

Washington, D. C., July 3O.-With OPA back on the statute books, plans for further Premium Payments Regulations were revealed today by National Housing Expediter Wilson W. Wyatt.

A regulation covering the convector radiator industry, retroactive to July l, 1946, as originally planned, will be issued within a few days.

Regulations covering the Northern and Southern hardwood flooring industries and the cast iron soil pipe industry will be issued on or soon after August 1, and will be effective as of August 1.

In regard to the hardwood flooring regulations, August 1 inventories of both lumber and hardwood flooring will be required of those producers who desire to come under the plan. Lumber inventory data, which will be submitted when the producers apply for base quotas and initial payment, will include amounts of 2 and 3-a common of oak, beech, birch arrd hard maple and, 2 and 3 common pecan.

It was announced some tveeks ago that these four plans -convector radiators, cast iron soil pipe, and Northern and Southern hardwood flooring-would be effective as of July l, 1946. With the temporary expiration of OPA at midnight June 30, horvever, and with price controls inoperative until late last rveek, a change in plans was found necessary.

The Inter-Agency Steering Committee on Premium Payments, following a study of the new Price Control Act and its effect on these particular industries and market conditions during the period when price controls were inoperative, decided to retain the July I opening date on only the convector radiator regulation.

,fssuance of these four additional Premium Payments Regulations will raise the total number to seven. Three plans-covering structural clay products, softwood plywood, and gypsum paper liner-were announced in June and made effective as of June 1.
