Structural Designs in Heavy Demand

There is no change in the strike situation at the Redr,vood mills in Humboldt and Mendocino connties as we go to press. The mills have been down since January 14. The demands of the union include a22l cent per hour rvage increase and a full union shop for all employes. On January 11, the operators offered a 15 cent an hour wage increase but it n'as turned down by the union. In all the recent strikes that affected the Western lumber industry, settlement was made on the basis of from l2l to 15 cents per hour vi'age increase, and the union shop was not an issue.

Lumber Dealers Chargc OPA With Responsibility For Housing Shortage Washington, D. C., March 30.-Since V-J Day, a wellorganized home building industry has stood ready and willing to produce homes for veterans, Joseph T. King, Counsel for the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Washington, D. C., told the Senate Banking and Currency Committee today. "The industry has been hamstrung and thwarted by the unrealistic pricing policies of the OPA," Mr. King said dur-

Lumber Plays Major Role in California Agriculture Berkeley, Calif., April 10.-The California fruit and vegetable industries are the prime users of lumber produced in California. According to an announcement by Stephen N. Wyckoff, director of the California Forest and Range Experiment Station, U. S. Forest Service, about 590 million board feet of lumber, or nearly one-fourth of California's entire lumber output \\.ras converted into agricultural shook

ing the Patman Bill hearings. To the extent that Mr. in 1944. A recent study by the Experiment Station in cooperation Bowles is responsible for this OPA action, he is also rewith the Regional office of the Forest Service in San Fransponsible for the present housing shortage crisis, Mr. King

averred.

Pointing out that price adjustments in plywood were not made by OPA until the Civilian Production Administration issued an allocation order channelling most of the construction grades of plywood into prefabrication plants, Mr. King questioned u'hether this could be mere coincidence, as Mr. Bowles' preference for prefabricated home building methods was provable.

cisco shows that lumber needed for containers for marketing fresh products alone is about 700 million board feet annually. Vegetables as a commodity group lead in this respect with about DO million board feet, followed closely by

citrus fruits with 250 million board feet, and deciduous fruits and grapes with 16O million board feet. Further details of the study are given in Research Note No. 46 entitled, "Lumber Requirements of the California Fruit and Vegetable Industries" by George F. Burks, Forester, and Russell W. Beeson, Senior Forester. Copies are available upon request to the California Forest and Range Experiment Station, Giannini Hall, Berkeley 4, Calif.

"Chester Bou'les' letter of January ll. 1946, to Wilson Wyatt indicates that Mr. Bowles and not Mr. Wyatt rvas the real author oI the so-called Wyatt Plan," Mr. King stated. "The Bowles letter contains fourteen of the fifteen points in Mr. Wyatt's program which he made putilic on February 7." The Born'les letter vr'as published in the Con- Bill Woodbridge Comments on Shingle Situcrtion W. W. Woodbridge, secretary-manager of the Red Cedar gressional Record on March 21.

While he believes production will slowly policies. improve month by month, this improvement will not be "This legislation before this committee is not required," anything to cause too much joy to the dealers of Southern Mr. King stated.

Bill left Los Angeles for Texas and "The only reason that Mr. Bou'les does not approach the the Atlantic Coast. subsidy question through normal channels is because he would be required to spell out just how the subsidies would be paid," Mr. King aid. "No, he is not satisfied that way. He wants a lump sum of $600,000,000 that can be used to support one interest to the disadvantage of another."

Printing was discovered in 1441. It might be truly said that the world really began to live with the coming of printitrg. Up to that time the past was a vast cemetery with scarcely an epitaph. The ideas that human brains had generated had mostly perished in the minds that produced them. The lips of the human race had been open, but their recordings had been sealed and lost. Printing came, and gave recordings and pinions to human thought.

r<**

It preserved ideas. It registered words. It became possible for the first time for a man to bequeath to the future the riches of his brain and the wealth of his soul. When people began to read, they began to reason. And when reasoning began, progress commenced. An entirely new world was ushered in by printing. Things printed can never be stopped. They are like babies new-born. Their souls go on forever'

,< ,<

,<

An excellent illustration is Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. It is universally acclaimed today to be one of the greatest utterances that ever fell from the lips of a man. Yet, we are told, when he delivered it, it made little impression. The exalting inspiration that comes to you even today as you read over those eternal words in cold print, was lacking to the minds of that crowd that heard Lineoln deliver it. There was no thrilled audience that listened enthralled, knowing that what they were hearing would become immortal. They were not deeply moved, so we are told. One of the all-time masterpieces of human thought and utterance had touched their ears and their senses-but they

knew it not. It was only after the words had been printed and distributed that their immeasurable grandeur soared toward the sky, and the glory shone through. Had it never been printed, it v.rould have died a-borning, would that miracle of word and thought. It took printing to give it to the world-and keep it there forever.

Which thought prol"ur| ;";." a bit of history. The first printing press set up in America was the Cambridge Press, established at Cambridge in 1639. The first work produced on this press was the "Freeman's Oath," and the

first entire book printed on it in English was the "Bay Psalm Book." This famous press still exists, and was used for the design of the three cent stamp printed in 1939 commemorating the three-hundredth anniversary of printing in America. The first American newspaper was the "New England Courant" established by James Franklin, halfbrother of the younger Ben Franklin. Ben learned printing from James, and later he established his own paper, the "Pennsylvania Gazette," in Philadelphia. Later on the famous liberal, Thomas Paine. was editor of the Gazette. Wonder what Tom p"ii" J,.,iu write about our present bureaucracy, were he to return to earth right now? Our greatest pleader and apostle for human freedom, Tom would have worn that sharp pen of his to a nub at the way the bureaucrats have continually and remorselessly moved in and grasped ever more and more power, and taken from us more and more of our liberties. And it looks like it wiil take more than resoluting and resolving to tear loose their grip from the throat of our people. {<**

Woodrow Wilson wouldn't have thought much of it, eitber. Ffe once said, "I have never heard of any group of men in whose hands I am willing to lodge the liberties of America in trust." And if the scholarly and history-wise Wilson had never heard or read of any men to whom he would entrust the keeping of our liberties, what would he have thought of placing them in the keeping of the gang of economic atheists and business illiterates who-under the thin disguise of continuing war emergency-tell business men practically everything they can or cannot do in the operation of their production and job-making affairs? And Wilson was right. , r*U n*r"ry the very same way, and arrive at that same conclusion. ff mine were the choice to make L would refuse to give the amount and kind and character of authority now reposed in the so very confused (Continued on Page l0)

I do not believe that even these five great and honorable and wise and inspired men possessed the ability to properly manage the job that these ordinary men in our bureaus now assume with so much assurance, to administer. There never were any men with that much ability. Is it any wonder, then, that our bureaucrats are making such a mess as even Hercules, himself, could never have cleaned up?

* >r< * Most of our entire population is living in violation of the price ceilings. Millions of people do so without even knowing it. Other millions deliberately seek to find a way around the rules. Some of them seek legal means for doing so, and countless ways of getting around the price ceilings have been found. An arrny of lawyers search the rules for legal loopholes they can recommend. We hear of them every day. And on top of all that there are now millions upon millions of people who are deliberately in the black market business. To recite the ways and means employed for beating the price ceilings would require volumes. But the result'is that the black market has grabbed the commercial ball and run with it, and to doubt it is to convict yourself of alarming ignorance. And, so far as I can disiover, there is nothing that can be done about it under present OPA philosophy. It seems all too evident that OPA would rather see a huge quantity of lumber sold in the black market at fifty to one hundred per cent above their ceiling prices, than try to arrange prices that would kill the black market. So far as I can see. the black market is strictly an OPA product; they not only created it, but they preserve and protect it.

Yet it looks like only death can dislodge them. For the past three months thinking and practical men from every part of the nation and in all lines of business have been trooping to Washington seeking relief from the only possible relief agency-the Congress-and never in American history has so broad, wide, and deep an indictment been drawn of governmental things. "Get rid of the bureaus before they get rid of us" is the slogan of business the country over. Yet the battle seems still in the hands of the entrenched bureaucrats. Never in history have the things been said about a government agency that have been said about OPA. Industry comes with facts and figures to show that OPA kills production, creates and supports the black markets, and in a thousand different ways prevents reconversion to ways of peace. But as this is written it is an odds-on bet that OPA will be continued, and the cry-"How long, Oh Lord, how tonSl*'7u;t still go on.

Never before was there such confusion as there is in lumber. When the present head of OPA said that lumber was out of control, he was guilty of understatement. It's gone plumb nuts. At the Pacific Coast mills, thousands upon thousands of lumber dealers and wholesalers show up from everywhere, trying to buy lumber. The same is true at the The other day the government issued new restrictions on Southern mills, but to less a degree. The big lVestern business building construction. With the issuance came the mills with their big capacity and big trees look like the announcement that new headquarters for enforcing these happy hunting grounds to lumber hungry men.

Ceilings Raised on \(/estern Pine Washington, April S.-OPA today ordered into effect

Vagabond Editorials (Continued from Page 10)

A would-be buyer called on a mill, according to one story, and found the mill sold out for several months ahead. The mill man pointed to a discarded piece of rusty machinery lying back of the mill. "I sold that to the same man that bought my lumber. Gave me eight thousand dollars for it' flasn't given me shipping instructions on it yet." And he grinned. And so it goes. We hear of mills going into the retail business and retailers going into the mill business. \ille hear everything, all the tricks reported being methods of selling and buying lumber above ceiling prices. I have heard and read that the same thing applies to nearly every other industry. Everyone is figuring how to get goods regardless of price.

immediately an increase in mill price ceilings for Western pine lumber which the agency said averaged $4.60 per 1,000 board feet. The agency said the increase, announced previously, was granted to stimulate production for the housing program. It added that, pending completion of a cost study of 1945 retail margins, the increases will be passed on to consumers.

With certain exceptions, mill increases of $4.50 per 1,000 feet were granted for all lumber of the following species sold under Western Pine Association grading rules: Ponderosa pine, Idaho white pine, sugar pine, inland larch, Douglas fir and hemlock; white fir; Englemann spruce and lodgepole pine; inland red cedar and incense cedar.

I am certain we are riding, nationally speaking, the whole bunch of us, to a hard fall. The headline announcement that reconversion is now over and everything is hunky is too silly for words. Wages go up continually. Anyone who tells you that wages can go up without costs and prices going up, is imposing on your intelligence. Every time you read of a wage boost NOT ACCOMPANIED BY A PRODUCTION INCREASE EQUAL TO THE WAGE INCREASE, you can make a mental note that a stride has been taken towards inflation. You can't raise the level of the water in a tub on one side without raising it on the other side, too. We are climbing the ladder to dangerous inflation, and the OPA regulations furnish the ladder. Some of these days if we do not immediately get tremendously increased production of everything, this financial balloon.will hold no more gas, and what an explosion there could be, my brother ! Old Man Infation will walk in the door unannounced, and then we will really know what hell is.

We must have greatly increased production of all our real needs. and that soon. The well advertised notion that increasing wages increases purchasing power, is an economic fallacy that leads to destruction. There is no governor nor escape-valve on a financial balloon. Remember that. When the pressure gets too high-blooey ! And listen, brother! YOU WON'T LIKE INFLATION !

The exceptions are:

Lath-Four-foot lath in all species, raised $2 per 1,000 pieces ;32-inch lath in all species, $1.30 per thousand pieces.

Battens-Battens in all species have been granted increase of 50 cents per 1,000 lineal feet. Beveled Siding-OPA said all species rvith the exception of inland red cedar may be figured at appropriate "selects" prices with the addition of $5 per 1,000 board feet (for remanufacturing) divided by two for reduction to surface measure. The agency said inland red cedar is priced at the same as Englemann spruce.

Standard Dimension-selling price increases of $5.50 per 1,000 board feet have been granted for inland larch, Douglas fir, hemlock, rvhite fir, Englemann spruce and l<ldgepole pine,

Ungraded Log Run-For sizes of two-inch and thicker, the increase $4.75 per 1,000 board feet; for sizesT-4 ol an inch and thinner, the increase is $4.50 for 1,000 board feet.

Appointed Ycrrd Mcncrger Herb W. Hayes, 'ivell knorvn Sacrameuto lumberman, has been appointed manager of the lumber yard and building material store at Rio Linda, which is owned and operated by the Rio Linda Poultry Producers Association' Enlargement of the yard and the building of a nerv oflrce is contemplated.

The exhibit of the United States Gypsum Company at the National Association of Home Builders Exposition, in Chicago, dealt with the fundamentals of improved construction for homes in the postwar period. The theme of the exhibit was "Modern Protection." The major point o{ this promotion is that regardless of the design of a home it cannot be considered modern unless it has adequate protection against fire, vapor, heat and cold, and noise. The large 31'by 1,1' exhibit space was divided into three lines of interest : the four protections, u'all and ceiling assemblies, and new products. Four glass-enclosed columns 8' high, 24" square, and spaced about 5' apart featured protection against fire, vapor, heat-cold, and noise, in action displays that shorved U. S. Gypsum products restricting these elements. The second line of interest in the exhibit was devoted to 19 rvall,

FHA rVlil Accept Priority Applications Involving Remodeling for Veterans Pending issuance of new procedures under the revised Priority Regulation 33, the Federal Housing Administration is now authorized to accept and process priority applications involving remodeling existing structures to provide additional room or rooms, or to obtain bathtubs where the subject additions (or bathtubs) are for veteran of World War II occupancy, it was announced by John E. McGovern, director, Southern California District, Federal Housing Administration. Heretofore, unless the additions developed a complete living unit, the FHA was not authorized to accept and process priority applications whether or not the applicant were a veteran <.,f World War II. Applications involving this type of remodeling for nonveteran occupancy will not come within this new ruling. Procedures for non-veteran occupanly applications have not been received as yet, but it is expected that there will be some clarification of the "hardship" program in the very near future, Mr. I\fcGovern said. Applications under this new procedure are to be made on CPA Form 4386 and treated as a conversion. Dimension floor plan and the amount of rent which may be required by the applicant for the new addition should also be stated on the application rvhether or not the space is to be rented at this time, Mr. McGovern concluded. CPF Form 4386 is available uDon request at anv FHA office.

Railroads Planning Extensive Repairs And Maintenance \(/ork Washington, D. C., April l.-Railroads can be expected to be calling for heavy shipments of lumber and timber as the year progresses for both maintenance and repair, as well as new construction, according to Robert L. Fletcher, Timber Engineering Company, railroad engineer, who has just completed a series of calls on leading roads in the south, east and midwest. It appeats, according to Mr. Fletcher, that the northtern roads are not planning as extensive new construction or repair work as the southern roads. The midwest roads have rather extensive programs under way. To encourage the widest possible use of timber construction, the Timber Engineering Company has distributed throughout the country a ZA-page illustrated railway book entitled "Teco Connectors for Timber Construction in Railroad Service." Copies of the booklet are available free to lumber salesmen interested in promoting railway sales.

Correction An item on the "Personal NewS" page of the April 1 issue stated the F. P. Drerv Lumber Co., at Mesa, u'as the oldest lumber yard in Arizona. H. S. Corbett, of the J. Knox Corbett Lumber Co., advises that he does not like to get in an argument with his good friend, Cecil Drerv, but his company was established in 1890 and has been in business in Tucson ever since. "Do not know if we are the oldest in Arizona," says Mr. Corbett, "but we are older than the Drerv Lumber Co."

Opens Ycrrd in Downey Frank Alley has opened a lumber yard at Dorvney which he is operating as the Alley Lumber Company. Frank is well known in Southern California lumber circles, and formerlv had a vard at Santa Monica for a number of vears.

Lumber Producers Protest OPA Increases Washington, April l8-Little, if any, additional lumber for veterans' housing will be made available by the price increase announced by the OPA for Western pine lumber, rvestern lumbermen asserted here. "OPA is only fooling the veterans and the public rvhen

it brags that its generous price increase will spur production of Western pine lumber," said Henry C. McQuatters of Flagstaff, Ariz., representing the Western pine lumber producers.

Mr. McQuatters pointed out that, including Friday's announced increase, Western pine lumber has had a total price rise of only 21.8% since Pearl Harbor. In the same period, he stated, the three major cost factors have increased as follows: Raw material (standing timber), as much as 1N%; lvages, 61.6%; and equipment, at least 30%.

Western pine producers were granted an increase averaging $4.6O a thousand feet Friday. They ask for at least o'not $3.4O more, Mr. McQuatters said, which represents nearly as much as \ve are entitled to in order to restore our pre-war cost-price ratios, but only the minimum required to bring out enough Western pine lumber to meet the objectives announced for us by the Government housing program."

Southern Hardwood Lumber Prices Raised Washington, April S.--OPA approved a general price increase for hardwood lumber produced in the southern region, averaging $3.35 a thousand board feet' The increase is effective at once and applies at the mill level.

OPA officials said the higher ceiling prices will be passed on to consumers pending completion of a review of the abilit1'of distributors to absorb the increases. Today's action increases bv B%% the ceilings for most grades and thicknesses on such items as oak. poplar, gum, beech, cypress, cottonwood and other hardwood species and dunnage lumber. Such items as timbers, dimension and construction boards got no increases since OPA considers their ceilings sufficiently high. A 7% increase in southern hardrvood lumber ceilings was granted Feb. 9. Areas covered by the price action include all of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, and parts of Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Virginia.

To Grcrnt Price Increcrse on Box Lumber Washington, March 30.-OPA Administrator Paul Porter told the House Western Pirre Committee today the OPA has decided to permit a price increase of $2.38 per l0@ board feet for shook'or box material. Representative Lea, of California, said the increase is for six weeks, during which time producers will be required to furnish OPA with data to justify the increase.

Interprets New Controls On Construction iWashington, April Z.-The Civilian Production Administration today set forth these interpretations of its new controls on construction which went into effect last week: Question-Horn' long will the construction control order remain in effect ? Answer-C.P.A. hopes the production of building materials will so increase that the order may be either relaxed or lifted by the end of the year. However, while building matrials remain as short as they are now, restriction on use

is necessary. Q.-What are the district construction committees? A.-Review committees of representative citizens appointed by the Civilian Production Administration to advise the C.P.A. district manager on the essentiality and nondeferrability of proposed construction activities in their areas.

Community Facilities

A.-In the case of new construction: Concrete footings, steel girders, foundation brick work, when actually put in place on the site. In the case of repair work: Installation of new flooring or partitions or the like. Q.-Does beginning work (putting in footings, etc.,) on one building which is part of a plan for the expansion of a plant, or the constructing of a group of structures for a race track, exempt the other proposed buildings from the order ?

A.-No, it does not. Application must be made for authorization for each separate building. g.-If a buildi:r has done his preparatory rvork such as preparing blueprints, obtaining materials and building permit, digging the excavation, but has not gotten his footings poured or girders, etc., in place, may he go ahead? A.-Not unless the entire cost of the building comes rvithin the small job exemptions.

Q.---Can facilities be built for neu, commttnities-things like sewers, roads, schools, churches, drugstores, grocery tores ?

A.-Sewer and road building is noc affected by the order. On buildings necessary for community life, the district constru.ction committee which knows the needs of the nerv community can be expected to act in accordance with that need.

Q.-What about applications for factorv construction, such as for a brick plant? A.-If the product has been determined by C.P.A. to be critically short nationally, the application ordinarily rvould be approved. Q.-What is the situation on jobs r'r'hich have started? A.-If the job got under way before March 26 (date of the order) to the extent that materials which are to be an integral part of the structure had been incorporated in it on the site and work was being carried on and work is carried on normally after that date, authorization under the order is not needed for that structure-the order does not apply to it. Examples Given Q.-Give examples of "materials incorporated in the structure on the site."

Exemptions Explained

Q.-What are the exemptions? A.-They are, briefly, g40O for a house, 91000 for a hotel, church, commercial or farming building, $15,000 for a factory. Q.-Where should applications for authorizatiod be filed? A.-(1) For houses or apartments (including nonveteran, but excluding farm housing) file with the local offices of tlre Federal Housing Administration on Form C.P.A- 4386. Q) For farm work file with the County Agricultural Conservation Committee. I-Ise Form C.P.A. 4386 for farm housing of all kinds. LTse Form C.PIA. 4423 for farm nonhousing construction. (3) For all other types of construction or repair work file with the C.P.A. construction field offices on Form

c.P.A. 4423 Q.-If the rocif o{ a farm house or city house is blown off or badly damaged by wind, is authorization required to replace it? A.-Repair or reconstruction of any house which has been damaged by tornado, fire or similar disaster can be done without authorization if the total cost of the work is

not over $5000 and if it is started within 60 days after the disaster.. Radio Towers

Q.-Does the building of a radio broadcasting building and tower require authorization? A.-Construction of an independent tower does not reqr.rire authorization as the tower does not come within the definition of "structure" in the order. Buildings in connection with the tor,l'er would require authorization. Q.-How does the exemption of $1000 a job on comrnercial building apply to the renovation of an office building?

A.-If a job is being done on the entire building, such as replacing the hall flooring, authorization must be obtained if the total cost runs over $1000. But if several individual ofifices in the building are being renovated when they become vacant each renovation would be considered a separate job and would be exempt if below $1000. Dams and Powerhouses O.-What about dams and powerhouses?

A.-Dams are not afiected by the order. Authorization must be obtained for construction on powerhouses beyond the exemption of $15,000. Q.-Will Federal construction be exempt from the order ?

A.-No. Federal construction will be reviewed by arr inter-agency committee to see ii it is essential and nondeferrable. Q.-What about State and municipal building projects? A.- Authorization must be obtained from the area C.P.A. official just as if the project were a private one. Dissolve Pcrtnership Brice M. Stokes and Ralph W.

Home-Building Loans Restored The Fecleral Housing Administration has announced a move to stirnulate home construction by private builders in the lorl'est cost bracket. 'l'he nen, program is designed to furnish homes for veterans at a cost of as little as $25 a month, including principal ancl interest charges as well as taxes, insurance, and special assessments, FHA Commissioner Raymond M. Foley said. In brief, the plan reestablishes a type of loan insurance u'hich proved effective in prervar years, especially in rural areas, small towns. and urban and suburban centers where neighborhood houses are in the $3,000 to $3,500 price range. NIr. Foley stated that this type oi home-ownership plan is being revived because of the interest currently expressed by private builders and lenders in its utilization in the current Veterans Emergency Housing Program. It is believed considerable construction of this tvpe can be accomplished irr lorv-cost site areas. "We are reinstating the so-called Title I Class 3 small home program that was so successful in the prewar years," N'[r. Foley said. This adds another proven weapon to our attack on the housing problem. It is the desire of the FHA to encourage home ownership on a sound and economical basis."

The FHA inaugurated Class 3 loans experimentally for a short period in 1938. They were reinstated in 1940 and were , continued until 1942 when the war housing program under the ner,r' Title VI became fully operative. Approximately 40,000 Class 3 loans in the amount of 9100,000,000 were insured, all for fit.rancing small homes in the lowest price ranges. The record of loss on such loans has been among the lorvest of any type of financing insured by FHA. Class 3 homes conform with established FHA minimum property recluirements, and local FHA ofifices examine the sites, the proposed improvements, and the relationship be_ tlveen the properties and their environment. Construction

stitutions making the loans under FHA insurance. Bo,ro\\'ers may be either fee-simple owners of the property or It-rrrg-term lessees.

In its general aspects, the Class 3 plan of financing small homes urider Title I remains the same as the prer,var plan. Tlre maximum loan is for 95/o of FHA's valuation or up to $3,000. The maximum term is 20 years and 5 months, with a maximum allowable interest rate of 4fio/o and an FHA insrlrance charge ol I ol l/o. The maturitv is five years longer than under the former 1tlan, and a service charge of I of l/o has been eliminated. Allowaltle foreclosure costs have been increased to tr,vo-thirds of actual cost u'here such amount exceeds the $75 nor,r' oermitted.

Close Ccrlifornia Olfices Schafer Bros. Luryber & Shingle Co., pioneer lumber manufacturers of Aberdeen, Washington, have closed their San Francisco and Los Angeles offices, which they have maintained for many years, as a result of disturbed conditions in the lumber industry. Floyd Elliott, manager of the San Francisco office, expects to retain his connection with the lumber business, but is not yet ready to announce his future plans. P. W. Chantland, Los Angeles ma{rag'er, and Ray Klots, salesman, will continue their association with the lumber industry but have not announced their plans for the future. Marjorie Notley of the Los Angeles office also plans to resume her work in the lumber business after spending a two rveeks' r'acation at Grants Pass, Ore.

It is believed that this board can be produced and sold competitively lvith any board now on the market. dI particular interest were the results of the hardr,vood pulping pilot plant. The subscribers sarv the pulp which had been produced from their sawmill waste material by the Teco developed non-pressure,.low temperature pulping process. Real satisfaction for the process was expressed. Market research for the product will be the next and final research phase of the process. This will be completed as soon as possible so that the stage will be set for full scale plant operations. Methods of bonding auminum to wood by a cold press method was described and illustrated. This art is an important step in the development of cigarette-scorchproof furniture tops. The second day the committee met in the NLMA conference room in executive session to consider budget matters and to establish various policies concerning future work to be conducted. Omar Hilton of the Rradley Lumber Company, Warren, Arkansas, was elected chairman of the committee to succeed C. Arthur Bruce, who asked to be relieved because of his duties as NLMA president.
