WASHINGTON-The barons of the lumber industry don't know 1t yet. but there is an axe quietly being whetted for them.
 Defense Commissioner Leon Hen derson, aroused at the skyrocketing of lumber prices, has recommended to the President that he use the draft industry" power to order an $8 slash in the price of Southern pine. In addition, Henderson has urged trust-busting Assistant Attor- ney General Thurman Arnold to take on the lumber boys for vio- lating the mandate that no one shall get rich out of the defense program.
 An $8 cut for Southern pine would bring the price down from $33 per thousand feet. which 1t has reached recently, to S25, which Henderson considers very liberal. In his opinion $21 would be fair. At $33, according to his computa- tions, the price of pine lumber IS boosting the Governments defense construction costs by close to S5o,- GOO, GOO, also gouging big profits out of private consumers.
 Last fall, foreseeing price gym nastics in lumber, Henderson went to the mat with the industry and was assured prices would be kept within reasonable bounds. Among the assurers was John w. Watzek Jr., dollar-a-year lumber expert of the Defense Commission, and a big Chicago lumber dealer himself.
 During all the time that prices zoomed skyward. Watzek sat by and still has given so sign that he thinks anything should be done about it. But, like the industry, he too is in for a rude awakening.
 NCTE-Scrap dealers got their shock last week when C. A. Bishop, former vice president of Reming- ton Rand Company, and one of Henderson's toughest lieutenants, called them in and broke the news -----------

 National Archives is less than lG years old, but already its off cials kick like steers when somc- enc tries to pour an avalanche of records into their files Gas for ex- ample when the War Department recently hinted that it might send over the records of the l9l7- 18 drafts) Although the building covers a generous city block, it soon will be crammed to its raft CTS with invaluable papers which have made American history.
