Oregon Senators Lose Out In Effort To Modify OPA Procedure In Prosecution WASHINGTON, June 17 UP) Senators Cordon and Mow, Oregon republicans, lost a fight in the senate during considera tion of the price control bill to get into it an amendment by Cordon to provide that the OP A could not prosecute violations without approval of local boards. It would have required that the administrator should not in stitute any action with respect to violations of price ceilings by any seller of goods at retail or any retail service establish ment unless the action has been recommended by the local board. Cordon told the senate that under present practice any indi vidual called into court for al leged violation of the charge who faced a $25 or ISO fine would pay the amount, even though innocent, because he could not get a defense for such a small sum. He said there had been thousands of fines collected from alleged violators without any court action. He said com plaints he received of the prac tice were not directed at price control but at the "gestapo ac tion" of OPA field representa tives. He read into the -record a letter from Frank Bradstreet of the Campus Super market at Corvallis, Ore., in which the writer complained he had been fined S50. He had been charged with exceeding the ceiling on nine items, one for four cents, two for 2 cents and the remain der for one cent. Bradstreet said the ovcrceiling markup was due to errors by employes. He said in another case Grand Pyatt of Corvallis, operator of a meat market, had been selling at group two prices Pyatt said an OPA field checker told him that because his market was in the same building as a grocery store he should be classi fied as a group four market. He said his local panel knew of no such ruling and he continued to sell at group two prices. A short time later he was notified he was fined $750 for selling in group two Instead of group four but after considerable discussion finally was permitted to pay $150 but had to continue sell ing at group four prices, which were less than rtoud two prices.

He told the senator "he was just plain mad" over the action of the OPA and added he did not feel guilty of having done any wrong. Morse said in another case a mistake had been made in charg ing the price of a Girl Scout suit for a Boy Scout suit. The customer refused to let the mis take be corrected and took it up with OPA. He said in another case in a Portland store a clerk had made a mistake in the price which was discovered before the customer got to the cashier but the customer refused to permit a correction to be made. He said the OPA prosecuted the case. Cordon's amendment was de feated 82 to 15.
