Lutiber Placed Under Control of New

Washington, D. C., Oct. l8.-Lumber has been placed under the control of a nerv limitation order, the Clvilian I)roduction Administration announced today.

The nerv order, L-359, will take the place of Direction I to Priorities Regulation 33, which direction u.ill be revoked on October 31. L-359 becomes effective on Novem_ ber 1.

While the new control is substantially the same as Direction 1, it contains several new provisions. Most import_ ant of these changes is that which permits a distributor to use a limited number of the HH (veterans, housing) ratings he receives from builders to obtain housing con_ struction lumber direct from his supplier. Up to now dis_ tributors have obtained lumber on a percentage of their 1912 inventoty.

Sawmills are also required to hold their production set-aside for rated and certified orders for approximately two months instead of only during the month it is pro_ duced as has been the requirement under Direction l.

In the ner,v regulation millwork manufacturers are per_ mitted to obtain 11 per cent rather than g per ceni of the quantity of the housing coustruction lumber and cut stock they obtained in 1940. In a similar increase, hardwood flooring manufacturers may get 10 per cent rather than 8 per cent of the quantity of lumber they consumed in 1940 base period.

Specifically, the nen' provisions affect sau,mills, dis_ tributors, millr.ork and cut stock manufacturers, harclt'ood flooring manufacturers, builders, prefabricators, and house trailer manufacturers.

A distril>utor is permitted to place each month certified orders u,ith his supplier for housing construction lumber for one of the follo.,r.ing amounts, whichever is greatest:

(l) an amount of housing construction lumber not ex_ ceeding 5 per cent of the amount in footage of his January 1, 1942, softwood lumlter inventory, or (2) t.ivo carloads of housing construction lumber in any calendar quarter at the rate of not more than one carload in any month of the quarter, or (3) 133 l/3 per cent of the amount of housing construction lumber called for by certified or ratecl orders accepted by the distributor for delivery in the month in which delivery is requested of the sawmill, but not in excess of 13 per cent of the distributor's softwood Itrnrlrer inventory of January I, 1942.

A distributor rvho buys more tl.ran trvo c:rrloads a quarter of housing construction lumber must reserye 75 per'cent {or delivery only on certified and ratecl orders. The same percentage applies to the housing construction lumber he imports. These reserves must be held until the end of the month follorving the month in rvhich the lumber is received. In other rvords, the lumber he receives on certified orders or imports in October must be held until the last day of November.

A distributor who buys less than two carloads a quarter must hold 75 per cent of the housing construction lumber received until the'end of the month in which it is received. In both cases the remaining 25 per cent may be sold by the distributor in any manner he wishes, rvithout regard to priorities.
