WASHINGTON. W Sen.
O'Mahoney D, Wyo.) has called
on Actinf Chairman J. A. Kruf
of the war production board to
release materials for construe
tion of reclamation projects au
thorized by congress but delayed
In buildini because of the war.
In a letter to Krug released oy
his office, O'Mahoney declared
that WPB's "stop construction!"
orders were aimed primarily to
conserve materials, although labor
was a secondary factor.
While the labor supply prob
lem still remains acute in some
sections of the country." he said,
"the supply of material is, I un
derstand, no longer a matter of
serious concern. Funds - In the
sum. of approximately tlOO.O.oo.
000 have been appropriated for
these Dtoiects numbering about
40 and located in 12 states "
Declaring the projects woul
offer substantial post-war em
ployment, O'Maneney asked Kruf Eugene Kegister-Cuard, Thursday, Sept 21, 1941
. "whether or not It woum oe
