OPS Cautions
Against Price Rises
Restaurant meals and items sold
at wholesale and retail in Alaska
are still under price control, Fred
G. Hanford, Territorial OPS dire
tor said today. Hanford said he
had been advised by his Washing
ton office that the Presdent’s or
der de-controlling restaurant
meals and many consumer goods
applied only to the “continental
United States.”
The OPS official cautioned busi
ness men against raising prices
above ceiling prices based upon
press reports originating in Wash
ington.
Although instructions from
Washington did not elaborate,
Hanford pointed out that all price
control regulations in the past
have taken into consideration the
economic conditions existing in
Alaska, Hawaii and other terri
tories and possessions which do
not necessarily4 have any connec
tion with conditions on the main
land. Hanford advised Alaska’s
businessmen to maintain the
status-quo in so far as price con
trol regulations are concerned, un
til decontrol orders are released
through the territorial office.
