OBSERVE HITLER PLOT Bonn, Germany (UPD - Gen. Axdolf Heusinger has appeal ed to all branches of the West German armed forces to observe the anniversary of the 1944 officers' plot against Hitler in an "honorable way." Heusinger, Inspector general of the armed forces, said thnt the individual units would determine their own observ ance of the anniversary July 20. bulletin concerning such offers was issued utter a na tionwide investigation of in creasingly prevalent advertis ing of "two gallons of paint tor the price of one." Tho bureau noted that sev eral pnint businesses nrc offer ing two gallons for the price of one, or for the price of one and one cent as their usual method of selling paint. The bureau, tho bulletin noted, believes that "public understanding of 'two-for-one- salcs' is that, for a limited time, two articles are being offered for the usual price at which one has been sold, as a single unit, in the recent regular course of business." Usual Method However, if the usual method of selling Is always by two units, and the firm Im plys that the price Is for one and the other "free," the bu reau believes such a transac tion is fallacious, the bulletin noted. "Such a scheme litis tho tendency and capacity to mis lend and deceive the trusting and the gullible and to divert trade unfairly from those who do not use such pricing methods," the bureau said. The bureau recommended that such offers be made for limited times only, and that businesses, which offer two items regularly tor a single price, avoid the use of such terms as "two for one sale, and buy one - get one free."
