Washington, March 23 (AP)
A war production board labor official told a House military subcommittee today that one of 'the most disturbing factors' in the wool reservation program was the 'failure to provide mandatory blending.'
The committee, investigating the resignation March 14 of Robert R Guthrie as head of the WPB textile, clothing and leather goods branch, was told by Guthrie last week that a reason for his resignation was failure of WPB officials to cooperate in his wool conservation program and to heed his insistence on mandatory wool blending.
Cleon O Swayzee, WPB labor division consultant, testified he favored mandatory blending for civilian needs to conserve wool for military uses, but no definite action on blending program had been taken.
This failure to act he described as one of the most serious problems in the program.
