Army, Navy Stores
Must Not Sell
“Special Orders”
WASHINGTON, (/P>—Rep. Jack
Anderson (R.-Calif.) recommended,
today that “special order” sales of
expensive household items by
army and navy stores in Hawaii
be abolished. f
He was reporting to the House
armed service committee on an in
vestigation which he made of mil
itary retailing in the islands last
December.
Anderson had three other re
commendations:
1. That the armed forces boost
retail prices in their stores by an
amount equal to the federal excise
iax on luxury items sold in civil
ion stores.
2. That prices on goods carried
from the mainland to Hawaii in
navy ships be marked up suffi
ciently to reflect transportation
charges which civilian stores must
pay for goods shipped from the
United States.
3. That items sold in military
stores be reviewed “with the view
of curtailing the list to make it
conform to the modern conception
of items of convenience and neces
sity.”
Under the “special order” plan,
persons eligible to buy at post ex
changes and ship’s service 'stores
can have the stores order for them
merchandise not carried in stock.
The goods are sold at near
wholesale prices.
Anderson’s investigation was or
dered by the committee in the last
Congress after Hawaiian mer
chants had complained of compe
tition from military retail activi
ties.
