TACOMA, April 4 (JP) You
can now buy plywood on a doc

A recent revision of the war
production board order, limiting
the sale of fir plywood says:
"Ratines (to purchase panels)
will be granted to individuals
where the plywood is to be used
as a bed support, when speci
fied by a physician's prescrip
tion." Doctors advised patients for
years to place a piece of ply
wood between springs and
mattress to prevent back strain
from sagging, ill-fitting beds,
industry leaders explained.
It has been unavauaoie, now-
ever, during the war. But some
months ago Dr. Noble W. Jones,
of-the Portland clinic, urged
WPB to permit the purchase of
plywood for orthopedic treat

PORTLAND, April 5 M)
Harry Edward Lewis, 33, whom
police had been hunting since

W. G. Banister, FBI agent at
Pocatello, said Lewis confessed
to shooting 25-year-old Virginia
D. Gillen, his brother-in-law's
ex-wife, on August 18, 1943. The
woman's nude body was found in
Lewis' apartment here.
Shortly afterward a warrant
was issued charging Lewis with
first degree murder. Both he
ana Mrs.-Gillen were shipyard
worKers.
