The National Retail Lumber Dealers Association pressed the National Production Authority and the Housing and Home Finance Agency to keep existing housing regulations for copper. Clyde A. Fulton of NASDA warned proposed changes reduce copper only slightly and hamper construction of 3 bedroom homes amid tight credit. He argued current allowances of 30 pounds per home are sufficient and tighter limits could shrink room sizes and delay second bathrooms.
