May 7. 1952 OPS Opens Drive Against Black Market in Spuds Washington (U.R) The Of fir rl Price Stabilization laid Wednesday it haa launched a "nationwide" drive against the black market n potatoes. . The lowly spuds, once so plen tiful that the government had to ladle out millions of dollars to support prices, are now hard to find in grocery stores from coast to coast. Complainta Investigated An OPS spokesman said price agents are investigating "sev eral hundred" complaints that the shortage has led to under counter sales and over-ceiling prices. The spokesman described the OPS drive as a "big operation." He said legal steps to enforce ceilings have already been Ini tiated in "about 20 cases." The widespread investigation represented a complete about face In the OPS attitude toward reports of a potato black market. Only two weeks ago, an OPS official told reporters that so far as he knew there were no ceiling violations anywhere. National Average Up The black markets have sprung up despite the fact that the Agriculture Department's most recent price report showed farmers got an average of $2.31 a bushel for potatoes during the month ended April 15. This national, average is up $1.19 from a year earlier and 31 cents above the $1.73 "parity" level at which ceiling may be imposed.

Veto Tidelands Bill Washington (U.R) Rep. Fran cis E. Walter,. D.-Pa., said Wed nesday that President Truman "can't very well veto" the tide- lands oil bill which is nearing final congressional approval. A Senate - House Conference Committee agreed Tuesday to adopt the Senate version of the measure to give the states, ratn- er than the federal government, control over the oil-rich sub merged lands off the coast. Walter, who sponsored the somewhat different House ver sion,, said there is no question that bolh chambers will quickly go through the motions of ap proving the conference commit tee's action. That would send the bill to the White House, where many administration supporters expect Mr. Truman to veto lt. He vetoed a similar bill several years ago 4-H Club News Pins and Naadlat Club Oak Grove Pins and Needles club met May 6 with their lead er, Mrs. Hattle Sandberg.

A check of many independent bakeries and retail stores show ed that they were selling bread at ceiling prices, he said, but some grocers were importing bread and adding freight charges to the price. In Portland, Harold Carlson, secretary of the independent re tail grocers' association, said the group would ask OPS to author ize a nrice boost of not more than two cents per loaf so the grocer legally can pass freight 4 -PIECE 2 MATTRESSES 2 BOX MEDFORD GRANTS PASS ASHLAND CHILD STOLEN-Taken from the Marin County, Calif., home of her aunt was 4-year-old Margo Wcndt, shown with her mother, Mrs. Wilton WcndU costs of imported bread to the consumer.
