Alaska Restaurants!
Now Under OPS
(Veiling Price Rules
JUNEAU, OPS— Restaurants,
caterers and roadhouses in Alaska
are now under a specific ceiling
price regulation, Fred G. Hanford,
Territorial Director of the Office
of Price Stabilization, announced
recently. All restaurateurs must
adjust their prices each 4 months
starting April 1.
The regulation requires restaur
ant operators to adjust their pri
ces of meals according to what
their food costs were. It requires
the operators to select a base per
iod which may be either the en
tire calendar year of 1949, or the
12-month period ending June 30,
1950. Income tax reports will be,
sufficient in establishing a base j
period.
Purpose of the base period is!
to establish a food-cost-per-dollar
of gross sales. For example, if j
gross income in the base period j
was $50,000, and the cost of the1
food for this period was $25,000,
the food cost per each dollar of in
come would be 50c. At the end of
this 4-mo‘nths period (April 1 to j
August P, the restaurant owner;
must re-figure his income against
cost and, if his food costs have
gone up, he may increase his i
menu prices to reflect the in
crease. However, if his food costs
have gone down in this period, he
must adjust his menu prices j
downward accordingly.
Main idea, Hanford said, is to
maintain the same food-cost-per- j
dollar as was in effect before the
Korean war. The regulation makes j
j
no provisions for passing on in-j
creases in fixed operating ex-j
penses.

Rates and fees charged by hos
pitals. and schools are exempt!
from ceiling price regulations, the,
Territorial OPS announced re-1
cently. Flowers and floral prod
ucts are also exempt under a new
ruling.
The OPS also took cognizance
of tourist trading of handicraft
work by Indians. There is no
ceiling price on this merchandise, |
said OPS, as long as the article
was hand-made by Indians.

U. S. IN GREAT DANGER
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Speaker
Rayburn said today “We are- in
terrible danger” because the Rus
sians are building up concentra
tions “here and there and every
where.”
Rayburn, Texas Democrat, told
White House reporters following a j

man that Russians are building up
troop concentrations “in lots of
places.”
He added: “Just where this is j
’ being done is a little beyond my !
field, but I have it on good author

Last week, Rayburn came out
of a White Conference and said
not all the troops gathering in
Manchuria were Chinese Commu
nists. .j
In addition to the more than
