Firms Resume Brick-MokinQ
But Long Shortage is Forecast

Nevertheless, the shortage will
continue long after that, owing to
the piled-up demand. Operators
say they can't even predict when
production will reach the prewar
level.
Because of high freight costs
much brick used here in the past has
been produced within a radius of Sc
miles. Throughout the country
brick is local product" Today
production is low everywhere. Thus
the brick shortage is a jam that local
management and labor will have to
break.
Chief stumbling block. at the mo-
ment, brick people explain, is a
shortage of labor To the question:
When will production be back to
normal?" one operator replies
When would you say labor will be
willing to go back to work."
Refusal of some laborers to work
regularly is another factor hamper
ing production, operators contend.
"Absenteeism is curse" said one

owner. 1--WE have rs employees and
an average of Is are away from work
every day. Often we have to delay
taking brick from the kilns because
we just don't have the men"
Also behind today's shortage is the
fact that during the war the local
brick industry all but vanished.
Washington's biggest producer was
the West Bros Brick Co., established
l0l years ago. Along came plans for
the Pentagon and the Government
condemned the plant site in Virginia
to make way for part of the Penta-
gon road system.
After long series of delays while
trying to get War Production Board
permission to build at another loca-
tion, L. Perry West, grandson of the
founder, set up plant at 1000
Sheriff road, in Prince Georges
County, Md.
Today this plant has seven kilns in
operation, turning out $4,000 brick
day-a third of its prewar produc-
ton. Three new kilns will be in op-

Operation Stayed

BALTIMORE, Dec. "a sched-
uled blue baby" operation for
Thomas Wayne Fadeley, Winches-
ter, Va, whose friends raised 81. 200
to send him to Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, was Cancelled yesterday be-
cause the baby's respiration was
bad, hospital officials said.
They did not know whether plans
would be made for an operation for
the 1-year-old baby at a later date.
This was to have been the 10th
operation of DR.. Alfred Blalock,
professor of surgery at Hopkins,
who, with DR.. Helen B. Taussig, dis
covered the surgical miracle" 13
months ago.
Tommy is the year-old son of a
World War II veteran, now an ice

asked the American Legion for help
in getting medical aid for his son.
Enough money was contributed to
send Tommy and his mother to

Third of a Series.)
BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS,

In a normal year, Washington's
brick-hungry construction industry
uses more than $50, 900 600 common
brick. Today it's reported to be get
ting no more than a third of its
needs. Private homebuilders are
estimated to be receiving only about
so per cent of that production.
With almost no exceptions, home
builders will cry on the nearest
shoulder over the brick shortage.
I'VE just can't find 'em," they tell
you.
Coupled with other shortages, the
scarcity Of brick is another factor
behind inability of the home build
ing industry to step on the accelera-
tor.
But the outlook appears somewhat
more promising than for some other
critical items, such as lumber. On
the optimistic side is the fact that
today, five of seven prewar WASH
ington area plants are in operation.
Only two operated until recentl>.
Present output probably will be "in-
creased substantially" by spring,
brickmakers say.
