The OPA said current prices in Alaska under the general maxi- mum price regulation are some- what above the ceiling prices for lumber in the States but are not sufficiently high to cover the in- creased costs and the low ceiling prices do. not justify cutting, al- though some items such as hem- lock in Southeast Alaska are abund- ant. Consequently, said the OPA, most of the lumber used in Alaska is produced in the United States. Relieve Shipping By increasing Alaskan lumber ! production to meet the military needs, the OPA action also serves to relieve the pressure on coast- wise shipping facilities and lumber supplies in the United States. The increase in price, the OPA |says, does not actually increase the lamount of money the government has been paying for lumber, since the freight and other charges from | Seattle to Alaska are added on all lumber shipments from the United \States, KEHOE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE ON INVESTIGATION members are urged to attend. e irived in Juneau yesterday on their| | way south.
