BY HOWARD SUBTLE
Star Washington Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Wam-
lngs from North Carolina lumber
producers that Virginia's price
ceiling on yellow pine lumber,
$3.50 per thousand feet higher than
the North Carolina ceiling, will
put us out of business" today ap-
parently had little or no effect up
on the lumber experts" of the Of
flee of Price Administration.
Leaving tonight following a leng-
thy session before OPA officials.
in which the Tar Heel congression-
al delegation backed their plea for
removal of discriminatory def
ferential," the North Carolina
lumbermen were advised that the
OPA would consider readiustment
OF price ceilings only on regional
basls-that higher production costs
IN Virginia justify the differential.
Very little, if any, relief would
come from a readjustment that
would leave such a differential in
price ceilings on Virginia and

Bayard Clark, of Fayetteville. one
OF three congressman who spoke
before the OPA panel today.
Rep. John H. Kerr, of Warren
ton, who recessed his reelection
speaking campaign to appear with
the lumbermen, contended that
labor, stumpage, and supplies,
equal Virginia COSTS
The North Carolina delegation
admitted +h~t overhead in Virginia
mills may be slightly higher, but
commended that, when OPA grant
ed differential on this basis, 'it
means you are penalizing efficient
low cost operators in favor of hte
less efficient producers"
Rep. Harold D. Cooley, of Nash
vile, pointed out that the current
situation encourages bootlegging
of North Carolina lumber across
the state line and insisted that
there should be a better solution
to such a situation" The fact that
permitted to pay as high prices as
permitted pay as high prices as
those in Virginia makes it obvious
that the North Carolina operators
are at disadvantage, he declar-
ed.
Clark cited that North Carolina
was once the leading lumber in the
south, but now "our production is
falling toward the bottom and has
declined more than any other state
in the SOUTH"
Representatives of the Tar Heel
lumbermen who appeared before
the OPA included J. A. Mizzell,
High Point; H. C. Foreman, Eliza
beth City; J. K. Barrow, Jr., Ze-
bulon; W. R. Drake, WarrentN;
