SAME ARTICLE, NEW NAME,
STILL GOVERNED

Merely changing brand name does
not change commodity and hence
cannot be used as the basis for chang
ing the ceiling price, OPA warned
storekeepers this week. Different
brands sold side by side before price
control went into effect are different
commodities, but merely relabeling an
article does not make it different
commodity, OPA officials said.
Reports have come in that some re-
tailers particularly grocers, are selling
articles under new brand names al
