Los Angeles Plywood Crisis Now Being Resolved

The explosive crisis over plywood quality that has become know to producers as "the Los Angeles situation" is being resolvedand the solution has lead to a better approach to plywood quality testing, according to James R. Turnbull, executive vicc president of the American Plywood Association.

Speaking to the Southern California Plywood Association, a distributors' organization, Turnbull said that Los Angeles has been the focal point of the crisis, but that plywood markets throughout the nation have been at stake. He added that all markcts are benefiting from the solutions which have developed in the wakc of the Los Angeles crisis.

Turnbull outlined for the distributors the series of events that lead to the quality problems in Los Angeles, examined the de{ects in the basic inspection and reporting systems that allowed the problems to in. cubate over a period of years, and explained what the association and the industry are doing to insure a continued high level of quality for plywood bearing DFPA grade-trademarks.

From the standpoint of the association the appearance of substandard plywood in

Los Angeles has been expensive, he said. When it tightened the loopholes that permitted the crisis to develop, the association lost membership involving about one billion, one hundred million feet of production.

In retracing the steps that led to the Los Angeles crisis, Turnbull said the board of building and safety commissioners there was first aroused about three years ago by the appearance on various job sites of significant quantities of sheathing grades of plywood 'rvhich showed areas of delamination.

The city proposed drastic remedies in late 1964, and the association responded.
