Production controls were dropped on hundreds of items in the last 1O days by the WPB in the effort to aid industrial reconversion. Among the limitations lifted were those on radios, refrgierators, washing machines, trucks for civilian use, laundry equipment, oil burning equipment, construction machinery, shipping containers, electric fans, domestic stoves and electric ranges.
All production quotas on passenger automobiles were removed August 24. The industry estimates 1945 production at 500,@0. Also removed were restrictions on production of taxicabs and ambulances.
The ODT has ruled that new commercial trucks made before January I, 1943 will no longer be rationed. Only about 300 are available.

The Building Code of Hammilrilhi
Some four thousand years ago there rvas a King in l3abylon named Hammurabi. He was a very r-ise man. In fact religious scholars declare that most of the gist of the Ten Commandments of Moses were taken frorn some of the many codes which this King rvas author of. So his building code may be of interest, for these are the building rules of that great King:
No. 228: If a builder build a house for a man and conrplete it, that man shall give him two sheckels of silver per SAR of that house as his wage. (No, we don't knorv what a SAR was.)
I\o.229: If a.builder build a house for a man and do not make its construction firm, and the house which he has built collapses and causes the death of the owner of the house that builder shall be put to death.
No.230: If it cause the death of a son of the ou'ner of the house, they shall put to death a son of the builder.
No. 231 : If it cause the death of a slave of the orvner ol the house, he shall give to the owner of the honse a slave of equal value.
No.232: If it destroy property, he shall restore rvhatever it destroyed, and because he did not make the house which he built firm and it collapsed, he shall rebuild the house rvhich collapsed from his own property and at his own exPense.
No. 233: If a builder build a house for a rnan and do not make its construction rneet the reguirements and the u'ail fall in, that builder shall strengthen that wall at his o.rvn exDense.
