Furniture Industry
Hit by Restriction
On Mahogany Use
w. P. B. Freezes Wood
Because Of Shortage
Of Shipping Space
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Production Board today
forbade the sale or delivery to pri-
vate users of any mahogany and
Philippine mahogany suitable for
use in aircraft, vessels or other mill
tary articles.
The action-a blow to the furni-
ture industry-was taken because Of
the shortage Of shipping space for
transportation of the wood from
Africa and Central America, w. P. B.
said.
About 25 per cent of the stocks
Of mahogany in this country is Of
a quality suitable in combat ships
and planes and it is planned to
restrict future imports from Central
America, the only remaining source
of supply, to the grades which are
suited to military and naval use.
Models Are Exempt.
Besides Government and lease
lend orders and sales for use in ply
wood, aircraft and watercraft, the
order exempts mahogany used in
patterns and models of products
having military priority ratings and
orders specifically authorized by the
w. P. B.
The restrictions on the sale or
delivery of war use" mahogany
do not apply to persons having an
inventory of 100 board feet or less
at the time of issuance of the order
Also, furniture makers and other
fabricators may continue to process
without restriction stocks of war
use" and the Philippine mahogany
in their possession on the effective
date of the order. There are no
restrictions on the use of other
grades.
Bans Processing Logs.
An additional provision OF the
order bans the processing of logs
except to produce the maximum
of war use" mahongany in the
forms prescribed by w. P. B.
The order dealt a blow to the
furniture industry, because approx
mately Is to 80 per cent of all
furniture made in this country is
constructed of mahogany. 1t Is
also used in radio cabinets, interior
trim, pleasure boats and pattern
work.
