WASHINGTON. March 33.—(AA—
A War Production Board labor of-
ficial told a House military sub-
commitee today that one of "the
most disturbing facton" tn ttar"
wool conservation program was the
“failure to provide for mandatory
blending."
The committee, investigating the
resignation March 14 of Robert R.
Guthrie ee head of the WPB tex-
tile, clothing and leather goods
branch, was told by Guthrie last
week that a reason for his resigna-
tion was failure of WPB offtotaU

servation and to hood hie inetotenee
