Fortune * Magazine which added its current April edition to the numerous. publications for housing has produced a survey of essential materials now critically short. The survey attributed the shortage of 12 critical items. to inadequate production, price disagreements, lack of manpower, and scarcity of component materials. Housing Lumber—Only 17.5 billion board feet will be turned out in 1046; 50 per cent below high level established in 1942.
