Cheats dip their, sticky fingers into.. .American. . pocketbooks. Their tricks boost living . costs. And" their tricks are widespread. . In the year ahead OPA with . a staff of lawyers and investi gators totaling about 4700 hopes to do a better job than it has. been able to do so far. But without the help of local boards the job would be impossible. There are 600.000 food stores, 500.000 restaurants, and a. total of 1,700,000 .retail outlets. In ad dition are all the thousands of manufacturers and wholesalers. The cheating occurs at all levels. The following outline given by OPA officials--shows the ex tent :of. cheating and black mar keting. It by no means , takes in all the crooked work.. . 'Gasoline' Worst and most widespread, 'Racketeers,' with counterfeit gas coupons, have moved in. They drain away mil lions of gallons intended for le gitimate, permitted use. ; In food there is chiseling In meat, butter, poultry, bananas, fish and sugar. Meat Starts with slaughter ers.: They sell to wholesalers, charge OPA .prices for the rec ord., and then demand hidden cash on the side. ' Wholesalers work the same racket with re tailers. Retailers make up for this extra cost by giving you short weight or charging for a better grade of meat than you Bet.' . .i-.'r , . ' Poultry Was widespread but centers. now mainly in tne south west. So-called truckers go right to the fanner, pay him excessive prices, ignore, tne usual trade channels and'; sell' direct to re tailers. In' this way the truckers save the profit which would nor mally have gone to the wholesal ers who1 buy from, farmers and sell to retailers. - Bananas The old, prewar ba nana importers are observing the rules of QPA. But a lot of fly-by-night operators have sprung up, chartering boats at fantastic prices to bring the iruit in from Central America and Mexico, and then selling only to dealers who . pay , them over-ceiling prices." Fish There's a cute racket here in some kinds of fish much in - demand. - Wholesalers pay urn ceiling prices lor mac Kina of fish but then have to buy on the side a lot of "garbage" fish which nobody wants.. The whole salers throw away the useless fish and sell the eood kind to re tailers at over-ceiling prices. The retailers sen to you at over-ceiling prices, too. Sugar Illegal liquor-makers work in this field. They counter feit ration coupons to get the sugar or even set up phony soft drink firms in order to buy from the wholesalers. Lumber Upgrading is the trick. That is, they represent the lumber as being a better grade than it is. This has been worked on the armed forces and on fur niture manufacturers lumber. Wastenaner Unu r a A ( n a again. Collectors upgrade the paper they sell to the mills, Mills doing war work and badly need ng paper don't get it when, try ing to stay within OPA reenln. Hons, they refuse to pay the crooked prices. Then the goes to mills which just want pa pit ana are win na tn tat part In the cheating by paying me upgiuuea prices. T'. I atWk.. .: .Wt. ' m iwi .
