Byraes Report High^ts Pulpwood Needs Statements by J^es P. Byrnes, di rector of the Office of War Mobiliza tion and Reconversion, contained in hla first report to President Roosevelt and (Tongreas, highlight the urgent need for additional manpower for the pulpwood industry, the Kershaw Vic tory Pulpwood Committee said today. “Mr. Elymes adviaed that ‘today the need for labor in war Industries is Ued te ilhweUy ^ith battlefield ret qutrement’ “This statement Is emphasised every second that a shell is fired against the Germans and Japs. For 80 percent of the powder that fires these sbelte is atodoof ytilpwoodrAad shells sent overseas are shipped in contain ers made of pulpwood. The fact that record barrages are being hurled by our armies on the western front in Europe requires record production at home and this requirement simply is not being met “It is not being met because recruit ment of manpower haa not kept pace cause production of farm woodlot pulpwood has fallen down. “Yef we know that production must increaM. .Our mlliiary leaders have reiterated the urgent need for war materials made of pulpwood lest lag ging production cost us lives of our fighting men and postpone the day of victory. “This has been said before, but it must be said over and over again un til ‘battlefield requirements' are met —and that means until the day of Victory: Everyone who can cut or haul pulpwood or work in a mill, Sven part-time, must do so, and farm pulp wood production must be increased. Where pulpwood production is lag there is record production, continued effort must set new records. “For this is what the Director of War Mobilization meant in advising that ‘labor in war industries is tied in directly with battlefield require ment* “ Fire Protection Fire In the cargo space of giant airships is detected automatically and an alarm sounded.
