Digest o[ New War Agency Regulations

Lumber lor Home Repcir Work

The WPB announced that home owners needing lurnber for repair work will be given preference ratings to assist them in obt4ining lumber only in extreme emergency cases. Dire,ct and indirect military requirements for lumber are so high, and essential demand so far in excess of supply, that all unnecessary use of lumber must be curtailed, WPB said.

Softwood

Lumber

Softwood distribution yards are authorized by OPA to sell lum,ber that is not in yard stock at the time of sale if the purchaser's order certified by the WPB, is turned over to the yard's supplier. Amendment 7 to 2nd RMPR 215, effective August 18.

Hcrrdwood

WPB allows large consumers of lumber to receive part of their fourth quarter allotments of hardwood during the third quarter, since revised production data indicate third quarter production will be approximately 8.5/o higher than original estimates.

Wooden Boxes

OPA amends the provision in the industrial wooden box regulation dealing with the method that manufacturers may use in computing maximum prices so as to make it clear that this method is based upon the cost of production of industrial wooden boxes only. (Amendment 5 to Revised MPR 195), effective August 21.

Housing Proiects

The WPB clarifies rules governing construction of housing projects authorized before the effective date (March 1, 1944), of Limited Preference Order P-55-C in interpretation I to P-55-C.

Oak

A total of 669,947 square feet of insect screening, which is under the control of Metal Reserve Co., a su,bsidiary of the RFC, has been released for civilian use, the WPB announced.
