The National Retail Dry Goods Association does not seek the im mediate end of governm ent price control but It asks that Congress amend the Price Control Act so as to increase the production of good quality, low priced consum er goods. As Benjamin H. Namm, presi dent of the Association said: "Production can stop Inflation if we can only stop OPA from stop ping production.1* Officials of the Association de scribed "camouflaged inflation" as "holding the line" against rises in d»s prices of reputable goods while granting higher ceiling prices to inferior merchandise. z The exhibit depicted this dis crepancy with the comparison of the women’s slips shown above and more than 100 other items received from member stores. Among these others were a pan of men’s white woven broadcloth shorts with an elastic waistband on which was placed an OPA price of $10.50 a dozen The man ufacturer has discontinued pro duction. Beside them were pink shorts of lesser quality bearing an OPA price of $13.50 a dozen Also shown were two electric heaters, one of first rate quality made by a prominent manufac turer and priced by the OPA at $8 59 retail while a decidedly poorer model next to it from an other maker bore an OPA price of $15.67 retail. The other ex hibits were sim ilarly striking.
