NEW PRICE STABILIZATION RULES
AFFECTING ALASKA ANNOUNCED
Among new Office of Price Sta
bilization rulings affecting Alaska
are:
Fresh fruits and vegetables are
now under price control in Alaska
if they are shipped in from Out
side.
Although most fruits and veg
etables are not pegged in the
states until they reach parity, Al
aska handlers can in no case take
more than the same dollar-and
cent profit on these products than
they took in the base period, De
cember 19-January 25.
Frozen fish and shellfish are
now exempted from price control.
Fresh fish and seafood, which are
subject to price fluctuations be
cause they are seasonal and per
ishable, were already exempt.
Retail Stores
A report that stores doing less
than $100,000 a year business
would be exempt from ceiling
price regulations was labeled in
accurate today by Fred G. Han
ford, Territorial director of the
Office of Price Stabilization.
Hanford said the rumor appar
ently started through a miscon
strued release from Washington.
D. C., early last week. He said
the Territorial office checked
carefully with Washington O.P.S.
officials and found no basis for
any such exemption.
Hanford said all retail busi
nesses should have their base pe
riod records completed in accord
ance with regulation 9.
Auto Ceiling Prices
Retail ceiling prices on passen
ger automobiles must be reduced
to compensate for the recent
elimination of spare tires and
tubes.
The national production au
thority ordered elimination of
the fifth tire and tube to conserve
rubber. O.P.S. pointed out that
many dealers have voluntarily
lowered their sales prices to vary
ing extents since NPA’s action.
The order provides that dealers
now must reduce the selling price
of automobiles by an amount
equal to the manufacturer’s
charge to them of the eliminated
equipment, plus the amount of
the dealer’s own markup on the
tire.
O.P.S. reminded that requiring
a customer to purchase additional
equipment, services or repairs as
a condition of the sale of a new
automobile is prohibited. Like
wise, requiring a purchaser to
trade in a car or commodity as a
condition of sale is illegal.
Colonel Robert E. Ware of the
Corps of Engineers, who served
in Alaska for a number of years,
has just returned to Washington
from a three-year assignment in
Germany and is awaiting further
orders.
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Mullen were
recent Washington, D. C. visitors
while on a combined business
and pleasure trip in the east. Mul
len heads the B. M. Behrends
Bank in Juneau.

Legislation has been passed by

esigned to minimize Alaska’s ob
gations under present law re
using matching funds from the
tates and territories for organi
ational equipment, certain types
f stockpiling and shelters in the
sderal civil defense program.
The senate-approved legislation
/ould allow requirements to be
