Price Gntrol
System to Be I
Simplified j
Vast changes are coming in the
nation's war price control system
aimed at simplification, Ernest C
Davis, recently-appointed Oregon
trade relations officer for the of
fice of price administration, said
here Tuesday night 1
Here to confer this morning
with John HeltzeL chairman f of
the Salem war price and ration
ing board and Chandler Brown,
OCD official interested in price
regulations, Davis declared that
"the trend throughout - the price
program is simplification to bring
it down to a level of commuhity
understanding." I
Already in two OPA regula
tions, 238 and 268, dealing with
certain food commodities, a per
centage markup plan of arriving
at maximum prices is being tried,
Davis pointed out.
"This is more or less of a trial
to simplify the entire pricing pro
gram for merchants," the OPA
official predicted.
Davis' main purpose in coming
to Salem is to help set up a local
price panel, which will serve; as
part of the local price and ration
ing: board and operate solely ! on
price matters. Salem's is the only
board of 77 in the state that does
not yet have a price panel, he said.
