OPA To Continue Price
And Rent Control
In Territory
■ ....
The Alaska OPA's foremost job
in this immediate post-war period
is to continue to protect the peo
ple of Alaska from undue in
creases in livinn cos’s, according
to Mildred R. Hermann, Alaska
OPA Direc‘or.
On a national scale mass pro- ■
duction and full employment will
be needed to hold inflation in
check. Mass markets and stabil
ized American dollar are essential
to that effort. And mass markets
can be achieved only if prices stay
wi'hin reach of that dollar. "That
is where we come into the pic
ture,” Mrs. Hermann stated.
"Price and rent control in the
Territory will be continued as
b'ng as inflationary pressure in
dicates that need,” said Mrs. Her
man. Today there is a great de
mand for many commodities and
services, many of which will con
tinue to be scarce for some time
yet. So long as these conditions
exist, OPA has a great responsi
bility to the public. We must see
that prices of food and clothing
are held in line. In addition, there
are many reconversion items com
ing back into the market shortly
like, automobiles, refrigerators,
I washing machines and radios. Al
i so we know for some time there
will be a shortage of building ma
terials and increasing demand for
| housing which will cause prices
in that field to be under pressure.
"These are just a few of the
danger spots we see ahead in
fight’ng off an inflation such as
was the aftermath of World War
I. As long as they exist, we in
OPA must carry out our job un
der the law as laid down by Con
gress,” Mrs. Hermann said.
“What’ll you do little girl, when
you're as big as your mo-her?”

Evacuated Alaskans May
Now Return To The
Territory
HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT —Lt. Gen. Delos
C. Emmons, Commanding General
of the Alaskan Department, has
granted authority for return to
the Territory of Alaska at once
of all persons, except dependents
of military personnel presently
stationed in the Alaskan Depart
ment, who were evacuated from
the Territory in the interest of
military security.
Prior to the granting of this au
thority, in response to a request
from the Director, War Relocation
Authority, cases of all evacuated
individuals involved were review
ed in detail.. “As a result of this
action,” Gen. Emmons stated in a
letter to the executive to the As
sistant Secretary of War, “it has
been concluded that all such evac
uees may now be allowed to re
turn to their permanent resi
dences.”
Previously a number of indi
vidual requests for permission to
return to the Territory were con
sidered on their respective merits,
with the result that 39 former
bona fide residents were allowed
to return before blanket authority
i to return all evacuees was grant
ed.
A total of 225 persons were evac
uated from the Territory for rea
' sons of military security or at
their own request. No figures are
available at present as to the
probable number who will elect to
return.
