(Tert of Order on Page ALL J

(TeTt OF Order on Pdge A-IIJ
An executive order creating the
Office of Price Administration and
Civilian Supply was signed by Pres
ident Roosevelt today.
The new agency, to operate under
the Office for Emergency Manage
ment will be headed by Leon Hen
derson. Consolidated within it will
be the stats of Mr.. Henderson, who
has been price control member OF
the National Defense Commission,
and Miss Harriet Elliott, who has
been in charge of consumer protec-
ton work for the Defense Commis-
sion.
The structure of the new agency,
the President explained to his press
conference, was worked out with ap-
proval of the Office for Production
Management and will emphasize
protection of the American con-
sumner during the emergency. The
new Office will concern itself pri-
marily, the President explained. with
the problem of distribution of the
residual supply of materials among
competing civilian consumers after
military needs have been met.
Prevent Price Spiraling.
The executive order sets forth II
fundamental responsibilities Of the
new agency.
First of these is that all necessary
steps should be taken to prevent
price spiraling, rising costs of living,
profiteering and the boarding OF
materials or commodities. Efforts
also are to be made to stimulate
provision of supplies for civilian use
in such manner as not to conflict
with military requirements.
Further instructions are that the
new agency should make studies of
civilian requirements, supplies and
price trends; that it should deter
mine and make public proper prices
and charges and that it constantly
should make available to the o. P.
M. the varying civilian needs.
The agency is further directed to
formulate programs designed to as
sure adequate standards for con-
sumner goods and for the stabiliza-
ton of rents. The Office is instructed
to study and recommend whatever
additional legislation may be nee
essary for carrying out price and
rent control.

over the allotment, and Is placed
on the market or fed to livestock
ON the farm. In view of this new
federal ruling, therefore. all wheat
buyers and millers are being eau
toned. to either. buy wheat only
from those farmers who have
white marketing cards, or to de-
termine that the penalty tax of 40
cents busheI has been paid by
the producer before the, wheat is
purchased, as this will be a pro-
lection for both the farmer and
the buyer.
Another phase of the program of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
niinistration this summer includes
the designation of Delaware and
Maryland as an area where the
deductions for exceeding the gem
eral and total depicting acreage
allotment will not be applicable in
1941, due to drought conditions
Under this plan farmers may plant
for emergency feed purposes any
acreage they may desire in de-
pleting crops, with the exception
of special allotment crops, without
incurring any deductions from the
1941 payments which they may
otherwise earn on their farms.
