It worked until a newly-installed railroad signal nearby botched the system.

F. H. Brundage, war produc tion board log and lumber ad ministrator for the west, said the loggers would come from the pine regions of eastern Ore gon, Idaho, Montana and Cali fornia, where many camps close for the winter. Production Cut Because men are needed so desperately in the fir region, the government will provide round- trip tickets for the loggers and their families and will pay the cost of moving household fur nishings, Brundage said. The men would return to the pine region when operations resume there in spring. - ; The log shortage has cut fir . production nearly 50 per cent, ! Brundage said, adding, "Already ( I have asked some of the lumber and plywood mills to drop down to one shift in order to keep up steady production." . The WPB labor production di vision said between 4000 and 5000 pine loggers were available November 1, but many probably have gone into shipyards by now. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (IP) Charles E. Wilson, vice chair man of the war production board, Friday received final pow er to direct the production of aircraft, radio equipment and escort vessels, along with super visory control over . all: other munitions production. . ". The climax of a weeks-long struggle for authority over pro duction scheduling between ' ci vilian and military officials. represented by WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson on one hand and heads of the armed services on the other, came in a state ment announcing "full .agree ment by all concerned.'1 Issued Jointly by Nelson, Sec retary of War Stimson and Sec retary of the Navy Knox, it was interpreted as a substantial vic tory for Nelson. An accompanying statement vested in Nelson's vice chairman "general supervision over the scheduling of the programs be tween the various services." This meant that WPB had re covered authority over produc tion scheduling previously dele gated to the services and per formed exclusively by them since last March.
