Thm OREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Oreaon, Wednesday Morning. December 23. 1943 PAGE FIVE OPA Aims Blow At Whisky WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-AV The OPA aimed a blow Monday at high prices on new brands of whisky which have appeared on the market within the last year or o. Price ceilings were imposed at the processors level on all domes tic distilled spirits. Since percen tage markups for wholesalers and retailers are fixed, the action is calculated' to roll back consumer prices of some brands. Effective January 6, the flat maximum prices are applied' to all new brands of domestic whisky . in troduced since March, 1942. The ceilings fixed as distiller levels will effect monopoly states as well as the others, the OPA explained, since monopoly states will be allowed only their fixed markups from the ceilings. How ever, the effect may not be felt ao quickly in the monopoly states, since they are permitted to wait lor their next periodic price list- mgs to make the price change. The action is directed at bol stering the original whisky price - fixing regulations which pertain ed only to those brands then in tock.

But we are looking to the peacetime days to come when United, as before the war, will again, not only meet but anticipate the business and pleasure travel re quirements of this community and the many cities it serves on the Pacific Seaboard and from coast to coast. The men and women who work for United, like all their neighbors here in the West, are looking to the future with confidence. They know that the growing empire of the Pacific Coast means greater opportunities for them in time to come just as it does for this city. They are helping to plan the expanded air service that United proposes immediately following the war . . the giant new 4-engined Mainliners pictured below . . the new WEST COAST CITIES ON UNITED AIR LINES' ROUTEl Los Angeles . .
