KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PRODUCT I0N0F LUMBER TO BE SHORT M L WASHINGTON, April 19 (VP) Lumber production this year will bo more than 2,000,000,000 feet short of the war production board's goal of 32.000,000.000 feet set In January, Henry Clep per, chief of the program section of WPB's lumber division re ported today. Basing the estimate on reports of first quarter production, Clepper said the lumber short age has grown "progressively worse" In the last four months and has spread to nearly all com mercial species. The reduced output was bs cribed, at a recent meeting of the millwork advisory commit tee, to loss of manpower, bad weather and shortage of equip ment. Other factors blamed were the increased use of lum ber for war purposes and its widespread substitution for metals. J. Philip Boyd, lumber di vision director, said box and crating requirements for war purposes may increase to the point where they will take 50 per cent of all lumber produced this year. These needs have placed a heavy strain on western pine output, Boyd said, adding that it is likely lumber used for other purposes will have to be diverted to box and crating.

ALL IS CONFUSION WASHINGTON, Conn., (JP) Nobody knows whether it's the weather, or competition from airplanes, but the wild geese flying over this town seem to be confused in their age-old spring task of flying north. On one especially cold day last week, one observer reports, a flock overhead gave up their V-formation and flew around in circles for a time. Then they landed, and after much dis cordant squawling flew off again, apparently in final agreement on which way was north."-' By the end of the war, pro ductive capacity properly used can save the world, and impro perly applied could become an economic menace. We must therefore find a sound and sen sible solution. Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones.
