Boyd Succeeds Upson a3 WPB Lumber Director

Consolidation of some of the functions of the Army-Navy Munitions Board Lumber Committee with the War Production Board was announced by Ferdinand Eberstadt, War Production Board Program Vice Chairman. Hereafter, the Lumber and Lumber Products Division will handle functions other than procurement which have previ= ously been performed by the ANMB Lumber Committee.

With the consolidation, J. Phillip Boyd, chairman of the ANMB Lumber Committee, becomes director of the WPB Lumber and Lumber Products Division. Arthur T. Upson, who has been director of the division, has resigned.

The ANMB Lumber Committee was established last August to deal rvith an emergency situation in the lumber procurement program of the Armed Services and to render assistance to the newly created Central Procuring Agency, which performs the function of lumber procurement for the Army and Navy. The special emergency activities of the ANMB Lumber Committee are no longer necessary and will be discontinued. Responsibility for lumber procurement u'ill remain with the Armed Services, and the Central Procuring Agency will continue to be the office through which military procurement of lumber is conducted.

Before he came to Washington, Mr. Boyd's home was in Chicago, Illinois, where he was in charge of the southern division of the Weyerhaeuser Lumber Company. He became a consultant to the Advisory Committee to the Council of National Defense in September, 1940, and worked with several government agencies on lumber problems in the interval before becoming Chairman of the ANMB Lumber Committee last August.
