OPS Will Consider
Suggestions Made
By Alaska Merchants
Alaska merchants soon will
have the benefit of a realistic ap
proach to the price control setup
as applying to territories, Fred G.
Hanford, Territorial director, of
fice of price stabilization, an
nounces.
Hanford’s statement came after
conferences this week with Ed
ward J. Friedlander of Washing
ton, D. C., price executive for
OPS region 14 which embraces all
the territories. Friedlander is in
Alaska on an 11-day visit.
According to Hanford, the OPS
Washington office expects to al
low the territories’ district offices
to make recommendations for
regulations for their own areas.
Thus, future regulations may in
corporate many of the ideas sug
gested by Alaska business men
themselves. He made it clear,
however, that this would not
necessarily mean that merchants
will be given everything they
want in the way of a regulation
but will mean that their sugges
tions will be given full considera- 1
tion. c
No OPS district office in the i
States is given this much local e
autonomy, Hanford said. '
Friedlander spoke at a meeting '
of merchants in Juneau, Tuesday,
and said he doubted if Alaskan
merchants who express a prefer- '
ence for stateside regulations re- '
alize fully what inclusion in their '
coverage would mean. He said '
that although some stateside reg
ulations allow a percentage sys
tem of marking up prices, these '
regulations also require a ponder- c
ous amount of record keeping. He 1
also pointed out that the percent
age multipliers permitted are
specified by OPS and do not
necessarily provide a return as
large as that derived from the
merchant’s pro-Korean percent
age margins.
Friedlander acknowledged that
Alaska’s regulation 9 squeezes
down percentages in cases where
invoice costs go up, but said there
should be little fluctuation in
these costs once the current phase
of “leveling off” is over.
