Timber Structures Conserve Steel

Six thousand tons of steel will be saved by using wood in the construction of five new Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company war production plants, according to a statement attributed to G. H. A. Parkman, construction director, by International News Service.

"Enough steel for 300 medium tanks would be required for the framework of plants we now are building in Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, and Western Pennsylvania," Mr. Parkman declared. "We are doing the job with some 3,600,000 feet of wood. By joining the wood beams with steel joint connectors, the joints have about three times as much holding power as did the connections 20 years ago."

Ih addition to the framework, wood is being used instead of metal in window sash, drainage gutters, and similar applications. At one of the Westinghouse plants in West Virginia, a 100,00Ggallon water tank for fire protection is constructed of wood.

Sales by dealers remain, with few exceptions, under the GMPR. A feature of the regulation is the establishment of specific "dollars and cents" maximum prices, on an f.o.b. mill basis, for cement shipped out of the territory not normally served by'the producer.
