WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (Pi
Senator H o I m a n (R-Ore.) has
urged the lumber and lumber
products division of the war
production board to use ply
wood from the Pacific north
west instead of steel in con
struction wherever possible.
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.
