Resolutions opposing efForts of OPA to extend and broaden its controls of constru'ction and requesting an investigation of OPA controls by the Senate Small Business Committee were adopted by the Executive Committee o{ the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, meeting recently in Chicago.

Washington, D. C,, Oct. l8-Four general lumber industry advisory committees are being retained during the reconversion period and 12 committees have been disbanded. the War Production Board announced today' This action is in line with WPB's policy of retaining committees of the over-all type, while dissolving those representing special segments of industries, the agency said.
f-umber industrv rdvisory committees still f'.rnctioning on an "on call" basis are those for hardwood flooring, millwork, and softwood plywood, and the Western Loggers and Lumber Manufacturers Industry Advisory Committee.
The last named committee was originally part of the Hardwood Lumber Manufacturers and Softwood Loggers and Lumber Manufacturers Industry Advisory Committee, with members drawn from all parts of the country. Since the problems of the West Coast and Eastern grouPs were held to be dissimilar, the Eastern segment met alone in April, 1945, and the Western segment, organized as the Western Loggers and Lumber Manufacturers Industry Advisory Committee, held its first meeting in Portland, Oregon, in early August. The companion committee for the East has not been formed but it will be established if the lumber situation warrants it.
Lumber industry advisory committees that have been disbanded are: Aircraft Sitka Spruce, Balsa Float Manufacturers, Balsa Importers, Mahogany Importer-Manufacturers, Lumber Retail Distribution, Lumber Wholesale Distributiop, Plywood Distributors, Port Orford Cedar, Hickory Blank Dimension Manufacturers, Wood Tank, Hardwood Plywood, and Hardwood Veneer.
Together with other members of WPB's industry advisory committees, members qf all lumber committees are being sent certificates of appreciation fiom J. A. Krug, WPB chairman, commending them for their work.
