WPB REPORTS IMROVED
IMPORTS OF SHELLAC
Because the outlook for in­
creased imports of shellac now
appears brighter than at any
time during the last two years,
the W ar Production Board in
a release issued March 8, 1944
that it is planning to amend A l­
location Order No. M -106 to
make some of the h i g h e r
grades of shellac available for
civilian uses. The contemplated
amendment also would elimin­
ate l a r g e amounts of paper
work, W PB said.
Proposals for easing the re­
strictions were discussed at a
meeting of W P B ’s Shellac In­
dustry Advisory Committee to­
day. The members agreed with
W PB officials that some relax­
ation of the restrictions is desir­
able at this time.
W PB representatives a l s o
announced at the meeting that
plans are being made for eas­
ing present restrictions on in­
ventories under the order.
In view of the fact that shel­
lac is an important ingredient
in the manufacture of phono­
graph records, easing up of the
restrictions may enable a great­
er volume of p h o n o g r a p h
record production. Music ma­
chine operators will welcome
the return of m o r e adequate
supplies of records.

Good Will Builder for

The following letters are vol­
uminous testimonials on behalf
of the tremendous amount of
good will which the Associated
Operaters Association of Los

Dear C urley:
Please accept the thanks of
the men of Minter Field to you

six marble games for our use.
Also for your help in aiding
us to obtain some slot machines.
Your desire to be of service to
the men in uniform is outstand­
ing as I know your organiza­
tion has contributed much to
the various camps in Southern
California. Personally I wish to
