Douglas Fir Door Industry Advisory Committce Meets with OPS Officials

Provisions of a proposed tailored regulation for their industry were discussed today by members of the Douglas Fir Door Industry Advisory Committee at their first meeting with OPS officials.

It is proposed to spell out dollars-and-cents ceilings on standard grades and dimensions of doors, including house doors, cupboard doors, French and rim doors, garage doors, solid exterior doors and hollow core doors. The regulation would cover manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest Douglas fir area.

Committeemen recomhended that doors made of hemlock, spruce and certain other fir species be included in the regulation for doors made of Douglas fir, which is the predominant species. Members suggested that the regulation be drafted especially for manufacturers, and that resellers be covered by other regulations.

Committeemen checked over in detail provisions of MPR 44, the war-time Office of Price Administration regulation covering such doors, which they said would provide a logical pattern for a new regulation. Committeemen reported that the industry was still pricing by discounts applied to the basic price lists set up by the old regulation. They suggested that prices in the new regulation be determined l:y specified discounts applied to the same basic prices.

The problem of pricing hollow core doors, because of the lack of uniform industry-wide specifications, was discussed.

Committeemen said it would not be realistic to determine ceilings on doors before ceilings are fixed on the raw materials, plywood and shop lumber. They said even if OPS fixes ceilings on these materials, as planned, at approximately the l€vels prevailing under the General Ceiling Price Regulation, th'biE GCPR ceilings on doors would still not cover recent increEmp in labor co*.
