Lumber Shortage
May Be Critical
By Coming Year
Washington, Dec 21 (U.R)
The commerce department said
today that a critical lumber
shortage is impending unless
manpower and other problems
eae by 1846.
Lumber supply has fallen off
rapidly since the war ended and
the present low level of supply
hinders reconversion, the de
partment said.
It added that 1945 production
Is not expected to exceed 28,-
000,000,000 board feet, the low
est yearly output since 1938. If
employment rises 20 per cent by
next June an output in 1946 of
30,000,000,000 board feet may
be reached.
The department said that ac
tion must be taken now to meet
a building program of 1,000,000
or more dwellings expected to
materialize in three or four
years.
More than 821,300.000 chick
ens were raised In the United
Stnipn thl vear. according to
state-federal agricultural statis
ticians.
