He told the division that such construction could be substitut ed for steel in building huts for the armed forces in Alaska, and abroad. Critical Product Arthur Upson, director of the division, replied that plywood produced from Douglas fir would be available for the army and navy and that a new grade termed "hutment," has been de veloped by the industry for the purpose. "Lumber and lumber products are Just as critical or even more so than steel," Upson wrote the senator, "but inasmuch as this Is a program to house our fighting forces. It is felt ply wood should be provided to meet this need." Priority Question Holman told the division that material from which plywood can be produced is plentiful in the Pacific northwest. "The question of getting an adequate supply of logs is mere ly that of priority on materials and equipment needed to obtain logs, and the labor market is considered in connection with ceiling prices and wages," Hol man wrote the WPB.
