Lumber Dealers Seek Extension of Priority Lumber Controls
Spokesmen for about 25 000 lumber dealers endorsed Wilson Wyatt's plan to extend priority control back to saw mills and expect formal adoption. Mill producers rejected the measure calling it unworkable and a red tape burden that could hinder veterans' home construction. Lamar Forrest of Lubbock Texas, head of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, said a revised form will likely be issued to better balance supplies in retail yards, though it would not boost overall lumber output.

Peace Meet At Paris Hits Snag
The European peace conference faced a new obstacle as the Slav bloc led by Russia opposed a proposal to shield British and other foreign oil interests in Romania. After seven hours of debate the Balkan economic commission sent the issue to conference authorities to decide if a 7-7 tie on oil clauses was a legitimate ballot. Senator Vandenberg called the situation fantastic. The British plan would require restoration of losses to Allied nationals in oil fields and access for officials to operate wells. Other actions include the Italo Austrian agreement granting local autonomy to German speaking residents.
